i’m fucking sick of this echo bullshit
FUCKING SICK
this crap got me FIRED today and now i have to explain it to mom and find something else
any suggestions for a 16 yr old that don’t include constantly dealing w/people
i don’t think i should do customer service anymore
god i HATE this personality rewriting shit I REALLY FUCKING HATE IT JFC IT’S RUINING MY LIFE

[Guess who echoed back an explosive temper that got him into a screaming match with a particularly rude customer. Turns out bosses don’t appreciate workers who call customers “you stupid fucking asshole” and throw their groceries on the floor.]

Fired? Really? Wow, that sucks so much.

[abhero]

yeah this is the worst day ever
or one of the top 5 at least

[onecream_fivesugar]

Well... I hope you find another job soon.

Wanna grab ice cream or something? That always cheers me up. Or we can just hang out or something?

[abhero]

yeah sure
wanna meet at cold marble i'll be there once i get my boss' up car on a roof

[onecream_fivesugar]

On a roof? You can do that!?

[abhero]

i'm rly strong so yeah i can probably throw it or something

[onecream_fivesugar]

So cool!

...But isn't that going a teensy bit overboard?

[abhero]

well i'd go for the car of that asshole customer but he's gone by now
maybe i can just overturn it less effort and less chance to get caught but i'm just rly pissed you know

[onecream_fivesugar]

Well don't you worry. We'll cool that temper off with some nice cold ice cream.

I'm already heading out the door. Don't take too long getting there~!

action

[abhero]

ok see you

[He shows up a little while after Robyn gets there. Having cooled off a bit, he doesn't look like he's about to flip out again, though he's still in a bad mood.]

Hi. I decided to go with something a little more modest than throwing his car on the roof.

[He takes out his phone to show her a picture of a car stuck in a dumpster.]

action (I totally misplaced this somehow)

[onecream_fivesugar]

[She hasn't ordered yet, she figured it might be best to wait for him before she does.

She'll give him a friendly wave when he approaches.]

Oh?

[She'll eye the picture of the car in the dumpster and after a moment she'll burst out giggling.]

Wow, you really did that?

[abhero]

Of course I did. He deserved it. It’s justice.

[Not really, he did throw a milk carton at a customer but hey. No one said he’s mature.]

And it made me feel better.

[onecream_fivesugar]

R-right. I mean, it seems a little extreme. ...But maybe he did deserve it.

The fact that you feel better is what counts, I think, right?

[abhero]

Exactly! And was representing every employee who was treated unfairly by a boss ever.

[onecream_fivesugar]

I guess it's a shame they wont all get the message then...

[abhero]

Maybe I should start, like, an anonymous teach-your-boss-a-lesson service.

[onecream_fivesugar]

It's a neat idea.

But I mean the more you do it, the more chances there are for you to get caught doing it.

[abhero]

Which is why it's anonymous!

[Jeez Robyn get on with the program.]

I'll be sneaky. The shadow that runs through the night and protects opressed employees everywhere.

[onecream_fivesugar]

Okay, okay! Point proven!

Sounds very mysterious and heroic.

...You sure you can pull it off?

[abhero]

If it doesn't work I'll just quit. Another reason why it's anonymous.

[onecream_fivesugar]

Well I guess all I can say is best of luck then! I'm sure you'll do fine?

Not sure if this is something I should hope you do well with.
