Don't bother the techs.

Seriously, don't. I'm not entirely sure what's going on but all I'm getting is that it's the equivalent of being hacked and someone who knows layer theory better than we do is out there screwing things up and tampering with the project.

I don't have a really good update for you guys, but bear with us. Please?

I just met her actually!

But wow, I'm glad I'm hitting all of these out of the park!

Shit, really? So all that stuff about cakes and onions was right off the dome? Felt like I was watching that movie about the ogre again.

That was a reference to a conversation I had with Mr. Carlisle, I honestly asked it mostly so he could have his ears burn if he read the comments.

Hold up, talking to Zee's been an option this whole time?

Oh, you didn't know? Yes! Him and no one else, but he has an inbox here on the app, but also an office at the top of Towers.

Son of a bitch.

I haven't had anything to ask him except "what the fuck", but that's not a question as much as me yelling. And I don't yell at customer service people.

He's very, very much that.

I confess I've been a little mean to him here and there.

I get it. Shit gets real around here and you wanna take it out on someone. Really, really can't blame you no matter what it was for.

It's the "I'd like to speak to a manager" type shit that I really can't stand.

No, I know the type. Casino, so a little different than some other circumstances, but it really is obnoxious!

Oh, christ. I do the host club and the casino clientele's gotta be just a more entitled version of that. At least when people come into Club Sunshine they know they're gonna be losing money.

The Stone Pegasus makes an atmosphere that the regulars at least have a lot of fun with, but we do get ornery people every now and then and it's...

Not fun, honestly!

Yeah, can't imagine! God, at least when I was on the phones I could hang up on people. I stopped bringing my sword to work once my boss fell off the app, so now I just have to wait for him to throw any assholes out if they think they get touching privileges.

We're just trying to do our jobs, like, come on.

Bringing a sword to work seems a little extreme regardless... but what do I know, I've been keeping mine in my purse lately! (it's small)

But honestly!

I hope you're still close with you boss.

Oh yeah, I still have bear mace in my purse, don't get me wrong. But if I mace a customer there might be some collateral damage.

My ex was closer to him than I was. She wasn't taking it that well last I brought it up, but that's not my story to tell.

No, of course.

My boss has never been on the app, but I knew her forever before then. She's been really understanding of Retrospec stuff as a result . . . within how much she can be when she probably things I'm having an "act like a weirdo" phase.

Ha, must be nice. Management was one of the reasons I quit tech support. I knew they'd never understand if I had to disappear for a while for whatever reason.

Not like I had any connection to that place. They paid the bills. Tech guy was nice enough, but that's it. I'm doing way better at the host club and all I have to do is show up and look pretty.

Honestly, even if I'm frustrated she's still not on this app, I really am grateful for it!

But yes, I bet! You do seem like you have a natural talent for the skill requirements there!

Probably better for her if she's not on this app anyway. At least not right now.

So you're just down to flirt with whoever? Have you talked to Soleil? I think you two could really hit it off.

I don't agree, but maybe that's just how I am 🤔

Buuuut! I've met Soliel a few times. Not that deep though, I know Astin better! If you're asking if I'm down . . . Well, Mostly! I do think I know boundaries when they're presented (hence our meeting!)

And that's fine. Making our own choices is kind of the point I'm driving at here.

Yeah, I appreciate that you're respecting boundaries. Maybe you should hang out with Sol more. Feel like she could use some reminding on what those are.

To me, it seems like everyone just might as well be on here, if they're going to go on about how people not on this app have their souls out of alignment or whatever.

But oh no! Is that really a problem for her?

It'd definitely make a lot of stuff easier at first. Don't know if a lot of the people I know could handle the stuff Retrospec throws at us, though.

I don't think it's as big a deal as I make it sound, but I don't know. She might just be really bad at keeping secrets.

I'm pretty sure people can handle it. It's discovering "themselves," right? It's safer for them in the end . . .

Or well, I can't help but think that!

That's not good though!

Maybe you just know better people than I do.

So far it's only been one thing and it was more or less my fault. Maybe I'm totally off base. I don't know. She's probably fine.

Well as a notorious flirt, I can say it's definitely possible to come on too strong.
