I was worried no one would know what to call him, but then he got a name tag so all is right in the world again

Exactly. Without Chuq to tell them, no one would know his name otherwise.

“many of his problems are of his own devising.” and many of his solutions, too! he got coffee!

Ed the non-Editor's avatar

Hah. He’s both a problem maker and a problem solver.

Slacy is... I love the humour 🤣🤣

Ed the non-Editor's avatar

He's a bit much isn't he 😂

I'm in! And I want an e-pub version of the whole thing. Tell me, quando, quando, quando?

Ed the non-Editor's avatar

Thanks! I’ll do a full e-pub when the story is complete. 30 chapters or so. I post one chapter a week. So maybe in 6 months 😅

This has been great fun so far! And funny! Slacy's voice is giving Solid Snake vibes 👌🏻

Ed the non-Editor's avatar

Haha. Should I have thrown in the alert sound when he walked around the cafe counter?

Stevie Duffy's avatar

Oh, please do! 🤣 Or the game over theme whenever he “dies” (SLAAAACYYY!!!)

Ed the non-Editor's avatar

Hm. What makes you think he’s going to die? 🤔

Stevie Duffy's avatar

Nah I just meant whenever he passes out and wakes up somewhere else.

Ed the non-Editor's avatar

What is he, an alcoholic? 😂 For clarity, he does die each time. That was meant to be a joke. You have good evidence for expecting him to die at any time 🤣.

Haha. It’s a Hitchhiker’s Guide reference. At least you noticed it was a reference and not just Slacy talking like a weirdo (more than usual).

He’s a good guy to have in a crisis to keep everyone else moving forward and not dwelling on the situation.

Also, thanks for noticing my zeugmas* such as “it hit me” 😂

*I learned a new word today. Funny since I use this effect a lot.
