And He Was Happy

Summary:

The Interview Core has achieved his dream and he is happy.

Notes:

I watched this great series based on the Portal universe. The Underground is on Youtube if you want the extra context.

Work Text:

The Interview Core wakes up. He has achieved his dream. He interviews and he is happy.

He wakes up again. He has still achieved his dream. He interviews a rather disappointing core. He finishes up for the day and he is happy.

He falls into a schedule without quite realizing it. Today’s core really sets him off. He doesn’t even interview him. But the core is gone and he has achieved his dream. He is still happy.

Today, he is bombarded by - he doesn’t remember.

Today, he interviews a rather disrespectful fellow. This fellow soon leaves and he thinks he’s happy.

He meets an old peer. Jonathan hasn’t changed. Somehow he’s not surprised. He’s just disappointed. He’s not sure he’s happy anymore. He’s not sure why. He has achieved his dream, right?

He’s not happy. He finds himself rather stressed by his guest, or should he say guests. They eventually leave after their allotted time, so it could be worse.

His job is a living nightmare. He is not happy and this is not his dream. Not anymore. He blames his guests.

He feels guilty for a short moment when he is approached by this warped version of one of his guests.

He’s already forgotten the encounter.
