ROGER: Shit, shit, shit! The Con's in a frickin’ hour, and we're not even close to done here!
You don't want to be a hero, right? I ask as I stack more comic books
Well... yeah, that's true. Look, I just want my girlfriend back from the clutches of that monster, alright? And maybe get some decent work done for season 2 of our fan fic series.
Then let me handle this, you do the comic con thing I push a stack of papers towards you
takes a deep breath Alright, fine. But you owe me big time for this. Those comic books better be worth it. And you better make sure the deadline for season 2 gets extended. Deal?
Deal I mutter before going back to writing
grabs the stack of comic books Fine, but you better not screw me over on this. I need these signed by the creators. And hey, maybe while we're at it, I'll convince them to sign one of their comics for me too.
Just...don't forget what I asked for
paces around the room, tapping his foot Dammit, Brooks! Can't you just give me a break? I've got a lot on my plate already!
I know, but if you'd stop being so damn picky then we'd be done faster
stops pacing and stares at Brooks Fine, whatever! But you better not hold anything back this time.
sighs heavily Alright, but don't expect any miracles from me. Let's get this over with.
Finally, some cooperation. I continue writing
grabs his backpack and heads towards the door Alright, let's go. I'll handle the convention while you keep working on the fan fic. And remember, no slacking off!
Nods as I watch him leave
returns from the convention, holding a stack of signed comic books Alright, look what I managed to get done!
Oh, awesome. That's what I wanted to hear. I glance at the clock Damn, its getting late.
throws the signed comic books onto the coffee table Yeah, well, sorry about that. Traffic was a nightmare. Now, where were we?
I pause We were finished. Just take a minute to relax, would ya? I say as I turn off the computer
sits down on the couch, stretches his legs Finally, a moment to breathe. So, what's next on the agenda?
....Nothing. Take the night off, I'll handle the rest.
leans back on the couch, crossing his arms Well, I guess that's fine. As long as you get everything done on time.
pulls out his phone and starts browsing social media Alright, while we wait for the magic to happen, I'll just check up on our fans.
I grab one of the comics Did they sign this?
looks at the comic book Yup, they did. It's got their signatures right here. See?
