Viktor

I'm sitting at my desk, working at a variety of projects with my assistant when I hear the beep of a new message, I click over to my messages tab, deep under my work tabs and open it up and check.

From Gigi: Hey its been a bit how are ya? It had indeed been quite a while since I last heard from Gigi, around when Beatrix was venturing into that Gray Labyrinth they spoke of was when Gigi had stopped responding for up until now, was she busy?

I respond to her message: I'm doing just fine though I do wonder what you have been doing while you have been absent.

After a little while of her typing Gigi does respond again: Oh you know saving the world and stuff, just you know your typical everyday activity

I pause at that just staring at her message. What?!? No one ever told me that was a normal activity, wait she must just be kidding around, that surely must be it. And that's how I'll take it, it's just a joke, it must be a joke.

After that bit I write up a response: Heh well that certainly seems like an interesting activity to be doing

Gigi quickly responds again: Well yeah it was kinda fun though and I got to meet another cool person, but hey can you do something for me. Those were in two different messages.

I don't really have time to work more on my own projects while waiting for her response as she just seems to type so quickly, unlike B0b who takes forever to type out his responses. And does not seem to be able to form coherent enough sentences for them to use voice text often.

After a moment of consideration I reply: Um yeah I suppose could try.

What is she going to ask me? I probably shouldn't have agreed before I knew what it was.

Gigi's next message gives me a bit of a fright: turn around :)

I sigh and shake my head before I turn my chair around and jump out of my chair.

There is a tan skinned lady with her magenta glowing hair in ponytail standing in my doorway.

"Gigi?!?" I yelp, is this really what she looks like? It must be, why would she ask me to turn around if it wasn't her.

"Hey Viktor!" She grins at me and gives me a small wave. "You know it was pretty easy to find you, just tracking your Ip address to this location and bam! Here we are!" She claps her hands together as she says that last bit.

"That cannot be your reason, I have my Ip scrambled." I huff as I plop back down into my chair and readjust my goggles. I have taken every precaution to keep my whereabouts unknown but yet she somehow has made it here.

"Well not enough for me!" She says as she prances further into my room. Her boots clink against the tile floor. She must have received help from someone to find me, or I'll just have to completely overhaul my security system, I'll have to put that on my to do list.

I have no idea what to be doing with this, I'm not prepared enough for in person social situations, it's just way easier talking to people through a screen then in person.

"Well how did you even get in?" I ask her. "But my lab is secured." I had my assistant get all the doors shut before we started, surely they manged to get that all done without getting distracted this time.

"Yeah except for that open submarine hatch." Gigi crosses her arms and gives me a look. Of course B0b forgot that one, they always forget that that one, I'll need to remind them again to shut the sub hatch when closing down the entrances again.

"What!" I exclaim. "I swear I had that shut." They told me they had remembered to shut all the doors this time.

"Well you were wrong." Gigi states. "So now I get to be here!" She reaches a hand up and slides her glasses, which had previously been falling off her nose, back into place for now.

I turn to message my assistant B0b again, and that message was: You forgot the submarine hatch again.

After a little while of B0b is typing I get B0b's response which is: Sorry I got distracted with chickens. Of course they did, they seem to be obsessed with the feathery creatures.

B0b messages again: want me to close it now?

I message back: no I will handle it, continue with your other assignments.

"So you didn't even go to close it yourself?" Gigi who had walked up behind me asks.

I see one more message from B0b pop up: I will go check on the chickens now. Well that was not his next task but if he is doing something that will be good enough for me for now.

"You know I believe it's considered rude to read another person's texts." I tell her and give her a look through my green glassed goggles.

"I know, but I don't really care." She responds and gives me a small shrug. She leans against the arm of my chair. "But now you have to deal with me, as I do not really plan on leaving."

"Just purely to bug you." She adds. "And hey it will get you some much needed practice with that social skill of yours, cause yes while you are a brilliant inventor you really suck at talking to people."

"Hey!" I exclaim. That was rude, but admittedly that is indeed true.

So this will be my life now I guess. Maybe I'll have to get B0b to follow her around to be the one she talks to face to face.
