[NEXT] [...it was actually some totally deliberate ploy to get more eyes on tonight's EXTRAVAGANT DINNER.] [🐐] ... Localized entirely within your bed-room? That I only eye-witnessed by chance? [🦎] No Wonder This Guy Needs An Assistant. [🐁] [giggling and kicking mmy feet]~<3

[NEXT] [You finally, formally address your THREE IMPORTANT GUESTS with a "welcome," a "thank you" for being here so early, and an ""admittance"" that, while yes, you were just SWALLOWED WHOLE BY A FISH-LIKE OBJECT...]

180

[NEXT] [But getting those MISSING FOUR MINUTES back is going to be a little more difficult...] [Until then, you've got to take charge of this whole FISH-UATION, and delay this INTERVIEW no longer!]

1100

[NEXT] GWWRROUUURGLGLLLT~ [7:09 ON THE DOT, of course. Who said eating your SELF-PUNCTUALIZATION GAUGE was a bad idea -- now you can always know what time it is!] [As long as you pay attention to those CACOPHONOUS GURGLES it makes, you can definitely get this day back on track.]

1111

[NEXT] [Well, ALL OF THAT, except for how you ended up escaping its slick guts, changed into this COMPRESSION SUIT SNAZZILY HIDING YOUR STILL-FULL MIDSECTION, and made it into a downwards-bound elevator.] [There is undeniably a void in your memory, spanning from 7:05 to the current time of...]

190

[NEXT] [Right, okay, it was stupid to even try and feign ignorance there. You remember ALL OF THAT. You swear by your NARRATIVE RELIABILITY that it won't happen again.]

1130

[NEXT] [You feel the warmth of his breath and the WINTERGREEN of his MINTS. His fanboyishly agape maw, for some inexplicable reason, reminds you of FISH...] [FISH...?] [Weren't they just saying something about that...?] [You retreat into your SUBCONSCIOUS for answers...]

1121

[NEXT] [...whereupon your FIELD OF VIEW is near entirely MOUSE'D.] [You don't necessarily mind the sight. The hotel's doormouse, BAXTER CAPTCHA, always goes above and beyond in his greetings. You don't see him too frequently, on account of your habit of RARELY LEAVING THE HOTEL.]

1131

[NEXT] [You sit up, bearings, regained. You're still able to remember your name, TIPSY SECONDING, which is a good sign, at least.] [You feel a routine checkup on your GAUGES is in order, though you are notably NOWHERE NEAR A GAUGE GAUGE!] [Instead, you appear to be on the 19th floor...]

[NEXT] [🦎] Don t They Look A Little Off. [🐐] They were just stomached by a fish-like object, as far as we know. Not the meltiest I've ever seen... I would go easier on them. [🦎] Hum. [🐁] i thiink they look perfectt :) [You feel rather overwhelmed by all of the attention! What... happened...?]

170

[🐐] [Oh my god I can't believe it, death has been completely inconsequential this whole time!] [🐁] tipsyyyyy!! <3 [🦎] [No Way That s Tipsy.] [🐐] As in "I can't believe that's Tipsy!" Or, "I don't believe that's Tipsy?" [🦎] You Two Would Know The Best. But. Likee. I Mean.

[NEXT] [🐐] But you don't know the name of who you'll be planning-assisting? [🦎] Damn I Did Not Know This Shit Had Prerequisites. Is This Not Just A Quick Summer Job. [🐐] It's sort of the career-zenith of working at any Gourdshaped's. Typically they hire internally for it. Most only last a day.

[NEXT] [🐐] First off, I do a lot more than thing-dust. But, no. Tipsy doesn't like me broom-poking around the executive floor too much. So that whole floor-plan's a mystery to me. It could be anyone from management in that fish's stomach. [🐁] o. oh.
