I reach the office’s doors and a prompt asks me if I’d like to open it.
My mind is sending off flare guns that tell me to run the other way. What was I fucking thinking letting Craig talk me into therapy? I didn’t dodge the apocalypse by uploading my consciousness into a video-game world for this, and I sure as shit didn’t max out my level for it. So what if I have some issues? I always help save the day in the end, don’t I? Okay, I admit, last time it was really bad, but shit happens.
Whatever. I open the doors anyway.
This reception room is so gaudy I wanna puke. Must be one of those pompous high elf dudes I’ve been hearing about. I approach the reception desk to check myself in.
“Welcome to ____”
The front desk clerk’s some cute, racially modded feline chick. Her persona-bar suggests she’s low-level and, also, already into me. But, I’m not bushwhacking that path again. Or would it be furwhacking?
Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.
I tell the cute feline chick, "Thank you."
Promptly, the doctor arrives.
I was right about the high elf thing but holy hell was I wrong about her being a dude. She’s wearing a cloak and tie. Somehow it works. Maybe because her skirt’s so short. I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again, elves do just have genetically better legs than us.
Looking at her persona-bar has me curious. Somehow or another, she’s immune to my maxed out Seduction. Weird. I don’t think that’s ever happened before. I search my memory banks. Nope. I’m right. That’s never happened before. I like her already.
The therapist leads me into her office. She has a lovely bum. Its splendor gets me thinking a little differently about how to handle this session. Maybe I’ll try for honesty after all.
We sit down.
She tilts her sexy librarian glasses down and gestures for me to begin.
Okay...I’ll try for honesty. But maybe I’ll throw her a more recent anecdote first. Oh, I know the perfect one. Just absurd enough that it’ll let me test whether she can keep up with all our other epic misadventures: Casino Heist on PCP.
