Just as a little forewarning, this'll be getting NSFW.

You are Audrey, and hoo boy you could not possibly be more frustrated right now. You have spent the last four hours trying to solve this God-forsaken damage-calculation bug.

You make a small tweak to the code. You pray that it works this time…

You decide to go outside for fresh air...

...Then proceed to spend another hour trying to fix the bug anyway. You find at least five or six more bugs, none of which are even slightly related to the one you're trying to fix.

You briefly contemplate trying to use your thighs to decapitate Job, but you won't because that would be stupid. Seriously, how would that even work? He's made of like… soft rubber or something. Weird intrusive thoughts are weird.

Maybe getting some fresh air would be good. You grab Job and head downstairs, walk straight out the door, and plant yourself on a bench under one of the outdoor lights.

You look down at Job in your hand. He's no help. Why is game development so hard? Every time you fix something, ten more things break. You've swear you've been plugging away at just the damage calculations and balance for the last week at least. You don't know. It's all started to kind of blend together.

You wonder if it'll be ready to ship by the time the Kickstarter money runs out. You hope so, but with how slowly at lot of the core features are getting done, you're not so sure. You guess if it isn't you could always hit up Early Access, but the Kickstarter money was supposed to cover the entire development budget! The backers are gonna be so mad!

You grit your teeth and look back down at Job. Still nothing. What the hell is his problem! A fix like this should be simple! Where are the ANSWERS, Job! This is supposed to be your passion! It's not supposed to make you miserable like this!

…Job looks back up at you, smiling vapidly.

You step into your car, put the key in the ignition and start driving. You think for a little while about possible solutions to the bug. Maybe post snippets online? You contemplate triple-checking the stats on the devil. Your eyes dart to Job, scuffed a little bit from bouncing off the ground. You sigh and decide to try not to think about it for now.

You wonder what everyone's doing right now, given that they've probably given up on you actually showing up at this point. Hopefully nothing too ludicrous. Things get sort of… wild when everyone gets together and you're not there to reign it in.

Eh, you suppose they're probably just playing video games or something. You pull into the parking lot of your apartment complex.

Snatching Job off of the dashboard of your car, you scale the stairs to your and Emily's Apartment, and insert your key. The door unlocks with a satisfying "click".

Emily: "Well, I don't think it's nice for her to obsess over work when we took the time for her tabletop session, but we can't judge her for having her own life.

We could play our own 'minigames' and then convince her to factor in our results. That way we still get to play and get some progress out of it."

You'll just have to play something else until she gets here. Something fun but won't take long and that you won't get too invested in.

How's the video games front? Or board games?

We should probably just do something to keep people having fun. Play a different game, or do a sidequest while her character oversleeps, or something.
