Huh? Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t quite see you there. Bet it seemed

like I ignored you huh? I was just on the computer, doing some “homework.” Well, technically.. I’m at work, so it’s really.. oh, never mind, don’t let me get carried away here. Ahem. So, uh, what brings you here to the Shinra Building?

Oh, heh, debt and

all that crap? Yep. I thought so. Heavy burden huh? Yeah. Haha, well, let me get you some coffee. No? You don’t want any? Well, that’s fine. Hope it’s not because it looks gross.. but, uh, anyway, get inside my cubicle. Not really the best one, but hey it’s home to me.

Go ahead and sit down on the couch. Make yourself at home. It’s fine with me. Yeah, that’s it, fluff up those pillows! Ah, getting carried away again. Let me start with a great plan to get you through this..

Well let’s see you start off by.. um, if you don’t mind, am I boring you? Hehe, yeah I thought so. My dumb plans and lectures. I wonder why I didn’t see this coming in the future.. hm. Maybe people who came to me before probably just covered it up with fake smiles. Oh well, I’m just glad you were frontward.

Well, I am a bit of a “story teller.” Hehe, in fact the people in the cubicles around me call me grandpa. I love stories you know? They just boost up your morale or make you feel like you’d want to be a hero just like that person. Or they can make you gloomy, which is perfectly fine to as long as you don’t go to depression. Then you’re a whacko eh?

Sometimes I’ll even tell it by first person view from the main character or switch off the character’s point of view. It’s fun! I mean I can pretend I’m that strong, daring, smooth guy! Which I’m not hehe, as you notice I am a bit chubby around the corner.

Or I can be a girl! Graceful, sweet, and ahem, hot. Hehe, I’m not gay… eh.. never mind let’s just change the subject.

Well, before you get into the stories, let me make your stay here a bit more relaxed. Coffee? Oh that’s right you didn’t want some. Oh you do? Yes, I see, getting rather sleepy eh? Hehe, chips too? Wonderful. Let me get them they’re right up here…

Ah.. trying to get them.. stupid arms, reach for the cabinet! Er.. ah.. oops! Dammit! Now the stupid pencils fell! Let me get those. Gr.. Okay there. Wait, there’s five of them.. I only have four.. ah forget it. I got the chips now might as well just give the stories out and clean this mess up later.

Now, which story would you like to hear…
