[intro: Jeffrey Gutierrez] [intro: Edward Baker] [intro: Paula Bennett] [as: Victor Phillips]:: ENTER - VICTOR'S APARTMENT

Hey, everyone. I'm home.   [:Jeffrey: Hey, dude. Come hither. lend me your nose. I've got some Special K for you.]   ...You losers. I love you, but you fucking losers...   [:Jeffrey: Come on, man. Don't be weak. It's an experience, bro. I'm not junking, I'm EXPANDING.]  Eddie, why are you cosigning this ass?   [:Eddie: Oh, I'm not. You can act holier-than-thou if you want to, and he can 'expand' whatever the hell he wants, but I'm talking real drugs. I have real problems to fix. Or ignore. Or whatever.]   .....The question is, why am I cosigning you asses.   [:Jeffrey: Ohhh, fuck you! We pay rent just like you do!] 

  [:Paula: *From kitchen* Damnit, Jeffrey, if I don't have a child really fucking soon, I swear to god this isn't worth it. When am I getting my children, Jeff?]   [:Jeffrey: I tried to give you a few thousand last night, but you made me flush them down the toilet.]   [:Paula: Damnit! You fucking skeevy pervert, I'm being serious!]   [:Jeffrey: Come on baby, I told you I'm not ready for children.]   [:Paula: ...Whatever.  *Internal:* This fucking burnout's never ready for anything */internal*]   [:Jeffrey: *internal:* Fuckin' bitch didn't even want to take my last name, and now she wants children... */internal*]

ENTER KITCHEN: Hey, Paula.   [:Paula: Hey, Victor. How was work?]   Eh. Ya know. How was your day?   [:Paula: I never planned to complain about a day off, but I don't get paid enough to take care of these two. No children, no pets. no money. And I'm getting stress tentions.]   How long have they been getting high? [:Paula: About 20 minutes, I think]   It should be about that time that they become completely oblivious to literally everything.   [:Paula: Yup.]   .....Come to my room really quick. I want to show something.   [:Paula: What's that?]   A technique. On how to relieve the tension... EXIT KITCHEN: ENTER VICTOR'S ROOM:

[as: Victor Phillips]:: EXIT - BOSS’S OFFICE ENTER - VICTOR'S DESK::

*internal:* Damnit. I wish the company's server would let me delete this damn video permanently. If Beverly ever finds out what I recorded of her Mom, Dad, and Sister, I would lose my job.-

Haha, Hell, if anyone found out, I could go to jail on indecently charges. If only my work started actually going so recognized. Because it for damn sure doesn't in this stuffy-ass place. You would think 'Smart Games' would be a little more of a free spirit. At least I know the internet understands art.-

For now, just play it cool. If I panic too much, it'll just make me look suspicious. I should be able to fly under the radar. If nothing else, I know I'm safe for tonight. For now, let me save everything and get home. */internal* --- omAcronAlpha. NARRATIVExxNEXUSxxNESTED.

[intro: Victor Phillips]:: [as: Victor Phillips]:: [with: Beverly McCooper]::  ENTER - BOSS'S OFFICE

 ...Beverly, what are you doing?   [:Beverly: I'm coping, Victor. One would hope you've heard of it, considering...]   Beverly, don't. You know how close I was to your mom, and it was tough for me to lose her, too. But you have to move past it. The more it lingers, the realer it gets. And you clearly can't handle that, Beverly.   [:Beverly: How dare you!?]   Look at you, Beverly. You're a C.E.O., in a corner office, in a sweatsuit. You still have spaghetti on you from lunch and you're about to go home. You're an embarrassment, to be frank.  [:Beverly: You don't fucking understand. And you never will. I shouldn't have ever even hired you.]   Bev, you don't mean that. When it comes to this job you need me, desperately. Especially because you're clearly not fit to be the face of this company. and all-in-all... I need you, too.   [:Beverly: I hate you.  And I thought you hated me.]   I do. But who else do you have?   [:Beverly: ...]   Neither do I. --- omAcronAlpha. NARRATIVExxNEXUSxxNESTED.

[intro: Beverly McCooper:: [as: Beverly McCooper]:: *internal:* I can't believe it's been an entire year since mom died. We hadn't had the closest relationship recently, but she was my childhood. Every mom counts, but she was my childhoood. I get cold without her. Literally. I just can't help but feel like something's missing. */internal* --- omAcronAlpha. NARRATIVExxNEXUSxxNESTED.
