“Is what we’re doing here illegal, ma’am?” “No. Of course not…Owning these potions isn’t illegal.” “How about selling them?” “That is why you signed the NDA upon arrival.” I’m having a lot of fun with Jeff the Temp’s second installment. #substack #fiction #writing #comedyfantasy

Jeff the Temp
In need of money, Jeff agrees to shifts as a temporary shop assistant. The jobs are strange, the locations, odd, and the customers… well. Some might just say they’re eccentric.

The fun of being a noble heir of a space royal family. Jan’i’nelle has embraced the elegance of being an influencer and mech pilot in one. Her mother isn’t pleased, but there is only so much her mother can do. Particularly when she sends clips that cement their political power. #lancerttrpg #OCArt
A woman sits on a chair with a drone floating beside her head. In quotes, it says: “It will make brilliant television.” - Jan’i’nelle

Shadows and Mysteries. Lily learns she's not old enough for Dante's Divine Comedy and desks aren't safe. Barry learns he's not as discreet as he should be. Both could probably use a bit of tutoring.
