Story update later this week; for reference I update once a week either Friday or Monday. The story arc will get crazier, more romantic, and even sassier in the second act
There will be so many plot twists that you'll wonder if you're on a ride at Universal. You're also going to have to sign a liability waiver for lost sleep and blown minds
Sign here so there's no lawsuit:
Author: "—ahem—Ace, you're supposed to read the cue card to get people to vote now."
Ace: "No, you're not the fucking boss of me. Last time I checked my paycheck wasn't issued by you."
Author: "I'll get the Director to give you your raise if you get votes."
Ace: "...I don't need money."
Author: "What if I make Octavia go on a date with you?"
Ace: "..."
Author: "..."
Ace [frowns]: "..."
Author: "..."
Octavia [enters]: "...Why are you guys staring at each other like that?"
Ace: "ALRIGHT EVERYONE YOU HEARD HER YOU BETTER VOTE."
Octavia [rolls eyes]: "Yelling at people as an end card isn't even creative, I could have gotten way more votes."
