A low buzz hummed through the tidy almost pitch-black bedroom as the functionally blinding six-monitor set-up illuminated the figure lying sideways on their gaming chair like a bed. The figure swayed their chair left and right as she lazily held onto their computer's mouse and clicked it every other second. (the girl is a super short teenaged-looking pale white-skinned human; she has knee-low scruffy pink hair with white swirl-like patterns all over her hair, rose pink eyes, and ring-shaped burn marks on her wrists and ankles)(she is wearing an oversized black t-shirt [with the text ("Gamer") on the front written in comic sans and a large chibi cat head image on the back of the t-shirt], black and white striped fur thigh-high socks)

Dev Girl glared between the six characters with name tags over their heads standing in a grey grid-like skybox as various info cards floated around the characters. Dev Girl groaned whilst the characters' clothing appeared and disappeared with every mouse click of the lax Dev Girl.

(Chronia is a short kid-sized adult supreme seraph aytherkati [a genetically modified version of a race of super short humanoid creatures]; she has bushy pale lime hair with glowing teal stars with four angel wings all over her hair [her hair is tied to look like DNA with the end being tied together using a black diamond-shaped hairpin with four angel wings], pale lime and teal gradient eyes, her entire body short fuzzy pale lime fur with a pale teal fur belly, chest and inner thigh section, super pointy ears, has cat hands, paws, three large fluffy tails, six extra arms coming from her shoulder blades, and thick thighs.)

(Maxikrose is a tall young adult half-demon/half-angel; he has neatly slicked back scruffy black and white hair, a white left eye with black sclera and a black right eye with a dark rose pupil, super pale skin, and two large horns on the sides of his head [a black left one and a white right one].)

(Maxikrose is wearing a black fedora with a white trim filled with tiny yellow stars, a black unbuttoned knee-low business jacket with different-sized white rings on the inside of the jacket, a silver buttonless business shirt, a glowing white tie with different-sized black rings all over it, black cotton trousers, and black tap dancing shoes.)

Dev Girl glared at the naked characters before she slowly and apprehensively right-clicked the show armour button; The character's clothing returned, and Dev Girl stared at them as everything seemed to work before all the characters' clothing turned pitch black. Dev Girl threw her arms in the air and melted into her chair like a hot mess as she mentally let out an anguished scream.

"Why did a lighting error of all things have to pop up out of nowhere? All I did was add an extra spoon design, and a day before the scheduled update, no less," Dev Girl whined as she slammed her hand on her keyboard, causing the characters to jump in response.

"Whatev... I'll just remove the spoon and fix it later...," Dev Girl uttered before a cat-meowing notification emanated from the computer. Dev Girl sat up only to see the characters' armours were fine now. Dev Girl glanced around the screen and readjusted her headphones before opening the action log.

"Hid... dragon lord?". Dev Girl scrolled moved the mouse to the character screen, and unhided the character called dragon lord, which immediately made the characters' armour glitch out again.

"Wait... ....". Dev Girl zoomed the camera out from the characters before signing pessimistically upon seeing the large dragon.

"I had them clipped inside a boss... what a mess, and the game too if I don't get a move on," Dev Girl uttered as she glanced at the mail icon on her side taskbar. Dev girl opened her mail and saw the message to Annie.

"Must be from Mum then," Annie remarked as she opened the message from no sender.

"Looks like I'm not the only one experiencing bugs tonight," Annie remarked cheekily as she turned her focus to the message's contents. As she read the message, Annie raised an eyebrow and leaned closer to the screen to double-check she read it right.

'Dear, Master Annie May'

'Congratulations for winning a once in a life-changing prize'

'Plz press button to proceed.'

[BUTTON]

"Must be that spar thing I signed up for, but why did they have to call me Master-" Annie said jokingly before she noted something off about the message. Annie repeatedly blinked and rubbed her eyes before rereading the message to see the master in the message had been replaced with miss.

"That's weird... well, I'm not risking getting a computer virus," Annie remarked cockily as she swived on her chair. However, as she swivelled in her chair, Annie felt a tug on her head, and the realization she was still wearing headphones dawned on her.

"Uh-oh," Annie managed to utter before her headphone slingshotted off her head and straight for one of her many monitors. Annie instinctively swung her arm out, caught the headphones and slammed them on her desk in one motion. Annie cockily smirked as she noted her reaction speed had improved.

"Phew-". Annie heard confetti sound effects. She looked at her hand to see she had hit her mouse. Annie raised her head as the brightness of her monitors increased before an even brighter blinding flash of light erupted from her monitors. The monitors shut off leaving the bedroom in complete darkness and unoccupied.
