What Happens in Vegas...

Summary:

The Player character finds themselves alone in a house that had once held dozens of people. Months of love and connection have truly changed them for the better, but it's hard to feel proud of your character development when you've got no one to share it with. Luckily, their best friend Sam has just the solution!

Granted, Sam's plans did not involve a one week business trip to Vegas with her manager, best friend, the company's CEO, and the newly reappointed technological advisor (or, referred to amongst the employees of Valdivian, fulfilling the job position of David Most's handler).

But life throws curveballs at everyone, and the Player is nothing if not adaptable - just ask their slew of lovers, friends, and the homicidal humanized dishwasher with a vendetta against them.

This trip to Vegas will surely go well. What could possibly go wrong?

Notes:

Hi guys! This is the first fic I've ever written, so I hope you all like it :>
Will likely be updated rather inconsistently, as I start college this fall and don't wanna fall victim to the curse of the AO3 author haha
This is not a chatfic, I just thought it'd be a fun way to introduce the story
Story starts with no preestablished relationships.

Chapter 1: The Night Before

Chapter Text

[The following is transcribed from an chat thread between [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected].]

 

TSANDOVAL: Hey there you two! Congratulations again for being chosen to accompany upper management on our upcoming buisness trip! As I've recently been reinstated in my former position as well (thanks again for that Y/N!), please let me know if you have any questions! 

SLOGAN: Tom you can drop the formality, it's literally just us in this chat. 

TSANDOVAL: This is still a website monitored by Valdivian, Samantha!

SLOGAN: And this entire buisness trip is just a excuse for the C.E.O to take his boytoy on vacation - he's just dragging us along so that it has a veneer of legitimacy.

USER107701: His name's Franklin

USER107701: And to be fair I don't think they're dating 

USER107701: they're just 

USER107701: like that

USER107701: Plus, if anyone's the boytoy in that relationship, I'd say it's Most, not Lieste

TSANDOVAL: Wow guys this is really not an appropriate conversation to be having on COMPANY WIFI.

USER107701: Tom this company has my signature on about 50 different NDAS, I'll say what I damn well please within these four walls.

TSANDOVAL: ...we're all at home right now Y/N.

USER107701: oh yeah

SLOGAN: LMAOOO

SLOGAN: Also Y/N you really should get them to make you a proper email, you just being labeled in the system as "User" weirds me out.

USER107701: Yeah it's a side effect from when I was working from home

USER107701: They don't make WFH employees proper emails bc there's no face to assign to the name

USER107701: or some shit idk

SLOGAN: Changing your name in my phone to 107701♡

USER107701: Your sense of humor sucks

SLOGAN: Suck on deez nuts more like

TSANDOVAL: May we please get back on track?

TSANDOVAL: The chartered bus leaves from in front of Valdivian HQ at 6 am, so make sure to be there bright and early!

USER107701: Sam would you perhaps pick me up :3

SLOGAN: Only if you never use that fuckass emoji again

USER107701: Party pooper 

USER107701: How long is the drive to Vegas BTW Tom?

TSANDOVAL: Factoring in breaks for meals and whatnot, I believe it's around 8 hours!

SLOGAN: 8 hours in a car with David Most.

SLOGAN: A w e s o m e

TSANDOVAL: I know, right? This trip will certainly be an eventful one! I think we'll all learn a lot!

USER107701: Tom I truly envy your optimism

USER107701: Are you on Adderall 

USER107701: No shame man I just gotta know

USER107701: What's your secret

TSANDOVAL: Shampoo and Conditioner, 8 hours of sleep every night, and a social competence to recognize what conversations are appropriate for company wifi, and which ones are most definitely not!

USER107701: Alright I get the hint goddamn

TSANDOVAL: Personally, I think all 3 of us should go to bed! We have to wake up bright and early tomorrow, after all!

SLOGAN: Dear god don't remind me

SLOGAN: See you two then

SLOGAN: And yes Tom I'll pick you up too

TSANDOVAL: Thank you Samantha! :)

SLOGAN: Np :)

USER107701: Oh so it's cute when he does it but annoying when I do huh

SLOGAN: Y/N there is a distinct difference between ":)" and ":3"

USER107701: You're such a hater

USER107701: You hate me

TSANDOVAL: Goodnight Y/N!

USER107701: Both of you hate me

USER107701: :(
