A comic book adventure of freelance supervillainy, petting cats, and/or destroying capitalism in which your choices determine success in a series of daring heists and capers.
![A sketch comic between mainly Sam and Audrey, a human man and a vending machine monster woman. The only thing colored on these pages are the pair's eyes: Audrey has 4 blue eyes as well as a rainbow set of 6. Sam has brown eyes, with his left eye showing sectoral heterochromia (a spot at the top is blue).
All of Audrey's words are first written on soda cans she dispenses, so any dialogue from her is being read rather than spoken out loud, denoted by brackets.
Audrey: [Hi Sam! This might be a silly question. Were you staring at me yesterday night for any specific reason? Is something in my teeth? Or an I just imagining things? Sorry! >_<]
Sam with a concerned expression says, "No need to apologize!"
His expression turns to a nervous smile as he continues, "I, um... I don't think you're imagining things. But... how much was I doing that anyways?"
Audrey: [Well, I noticed you doing it when you were playing games]
Sam glances at Audrey from his couch as he and a second person hold game controllers.
Audrey: [I tried to wave hi and you turned away.]
Audrey extends a thin tendril in a waving motion. Sam quickly turns around.
Audrey's next words are accompanied by several snapshots of her memory where Sam was looking at her.
Audrey: [later you kept glancing at me while you cooked. and while everyone ate. and before you all went to bed. If it's something embarrassing I'd rather you just tell me what it is. :( ]
Sam in the present sweats with his lips pressed into a thin grimace. He flushes red as he thinks, "fuuuuck I'm stupid"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ddsbxtbenlruutbln7oihnac/bafkreihvzqdjlcirmivvq7e5vkvrx463rabcgc2js6d4nhfozfviheqj4q)
![Sam turns back to Audrey, smiling nervously again.
Sam starts, "He's just being a dick, I'm not--"
The THUNK of a can falling into Audrey's mouth interrupts him.
A close up of the can shows Audrey's text directly.
Audrey: [You think my eyes are pretty? Really? I mean, I don't have a good reason to think you're lying but, um, really???]
(her writing is accompanied by her drawing of a nervous stick figure blushing and rubbing its arm)
Sam sweats, taking a long time to answer before just saying, "...Yes"
Another can is dispensed.
Audrey: [... Well. Huh. Thank you. I think your eyes are pretty too. If we're just sharing embarrassing confessions right now.]
(her writing is acompanied by a smiley face with a little heart beside it)
Sam looks up and smiles, genuinely this time. He's framed by a view of Audrey's smiling eyes, the use of space says they're looking at each other at the moment.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ddsbxtbenlruutbln7oihnac/bafkreihhw3tvndow5em6pdp6zu5ima5e4cbwuxe6nsv36pod6jhkqa4vj4)
![Sketches of Sam sitting beside Audrey.
Sam: "I hope I'm not talking your ear off"
A can thunks into the dispenser. Audrey knows it says [I have a massive crush on you]. She thinks "Oh that's too much I can't let him read that."
Audrey scampers away. Sam goes, "O-oh - ok! You need space I get it--"
Audrey falls face forward with a loud "metal pipe mp3" noise. Sam immediately runs over going, "Ah shit"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ddsbxtbenlruutbln7oihnac/bafkreiaxpqfcrc3c72g2brkufpuidiexz2d5wmkt4io6ycz2acmcaydz54)
![Audrey looking down shyly with Sam in front of her.
Can: [I wish I could kiss you back :(]
Sam: "We'll figure something out, I'm sure."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ddsbxtbenlruutbln7oihnac/bafkreigrm2i757zmkuu7jbly3r3uq3ajidfi27u7ri4vno2twiaczvhdsq)
