so...

what do you do for a living?
you seem sort of… familiar.
ah.. nothing at the moment. i just lost my job.

>>>
i used to work at a movie theater but it got shut down after the incident.

the... incident?
the incident being the fact that no one ever went there so they were going bankrupt and then i broke the nacho cheese dispenser.

>>>
i think that was the last straw for the owner.

you made it sound so sinister
oh it was you shouldve seen the poor guy

that sucks
its the kindest of people who end up facing
the cruelest of fates bless his soul
no he was nuts.
saw him strangle a rat in the parking lot once

ah.
anyways

>>>
well i think i might have just the job for you

there is a medieval dungeon themed supermarket
looking to hire
have you ever heard of… cryocurrency?
what are your opinions on partaking in a
geometric shape inspired work environment
hmmm oh yeah i think ive been there before. the one with the comically large spherical bolder rolling towards you when you try to enter?

>>>
i suppose i could make for a decent gargoyle or something. i have some ideas of my own to be exact.

>>>
very narrow produce aisle with chain blades swinging from the ceiling.

>>>
eh?

woah
...seems on theme at least
i think youre right. i would be a natural…

>>>
except for the retail aspect maybe.

>>>
i guess applying cant hurt

uhm- yeah!
what the hell are you doing? arent you trying to recruit her???

oh right
hahahahahah! good one!

>>>
oh you were serious.

>>>
uh.

>>>
i actually know absolutely everything there is to know about it! yup!

>>>
so there is absolutely no reason to explain it to me and go on a deranged tangent because uhm i already know everything.

>>>
seems like you triggered some kind of unpleasant memory in her

"have you ever heard of cryocurrency?",
a question you hear ALL TOO OFTEN nowadays.
you wouldnt get it.
...

shaking my smh. my head. am i right?
....yeah...

(glorious safe)
sure.

(she looks so impressed)
i would love to be part of a cubic crystal system.
like pyrite.

>>>
i imagine it would feel sort of tight knit and secure. interlocking with all the other little pyrites and forming something complete

>>>
like a stone hive mind of sorts. except they dont have minds obviously.

>>>
seems relaxing to be able to rely on your inherent structure like that.

>>>
doesnt it?

i was thinking more of something alongside the likes
of ... a triangle? perhaps?
there is this really awesome shape that also
starts with „pyr“
so a pyramid scheme.

...maybe
not interested.

>>>
what? no.

i feel like ive seen you before
maybe its your eyes?
never mind
i feel like people are starting to look more and more similar these days maybe youre noticing it too

>>>
similar... color scheme ?

grey.
you definitely havent cause i just moved here a few months ago lol

no but-
my eyes are pretty generic. youre probably just confusing me with someone else and whoever that person is i do not know them

...
speaking of, i totally forgot to bring out the trash earlier

>>>
oh well!

>>>
now you somehow made her uncomfortable.
dumbass troglodyte fuck.

hey. :(
sorry...

i forgive you white voice. just this once.
go fuck yourself
you look at smudged writing on your hand… damnit why did you use a black pen to write on black gloves…

>>>
…why did you write on your gloves???

girl are you deep sea fibre optic cable?
you seem sort of... familar (attempt nr.2)
because i would like to… chew on you…

(?)
hmm.

>>>
that would be a mildly funny line if you were like, a shark guy or something

>>>
but i cant tell what you look like under that mask all covered up like that

so how do you know im NOT a shark guy?
just have a feeling.

how do you know if im a guy at all?
i dont.

>>>
youre definitely not a shark though haha

...

>>>
you must feel so embarrassed right now.

oh you havent seen embarrassing YET
