You take a few quiet moments to mull over everything these guys have said–everything they’ve promised. This… this is it, isn’t it? The big break? The bottle of champagne at the podium? You came in here expecting a trial… a <span class="mu-i">fine</span>, maybe, but what you got was the keys to the castle and everything in it!
You’ve got no love for <span class="mu-g">GOOD BOY.</span> Never did, really. What started as a ‘<span class="mu-i">hold-me-over</span>’ gig turned into your life, and that wasn’t even factoring in all the evil shit Boris and Sonny were doing behind the scenes…
Right… Boris and Sonny. They’re who you think of when the words ‘<span class="mu-i">Good Boy</span>’ pop into your head, but it’s not quite right, is it?
<span class="mu-g">GOOD BOY</span> is Art. It’s Mitzi. Denise! It’s Doctor Devon, Blumenkrantz, Christy, and so much more! It’s the security goons, the maintenance workers, the suits, the little people like you and the people who brought you here today because they recognized your hard work and your drive to do better!
This company doesn’t <span class="mu-i">have</span> to be Boris and Sonny–it… it doesn’t have to be <span class="mu-i">EVIL!</span>
You… you can <span class="mu-s">BEAT THE TROPE!</span>
“<span class="mu-i">Well</span>?” Asks Mr. Rat with growing impatience, “If you can’t decide now, Parble, we can resche-”
You’ll do it.
“Hm?” Asks Wolf in a confused tone, “Vhat vas that?”
You’ll <span class="mu-i">DO IT</span>, you nod with a determined glimmer in your eye! You’ll run this shit!
The holograms sit in stunned silence for a moment as you leap from your chair and slap your palms against the table! And you know what else, you ask with growing fervor, you’re gonna <span class="mu-s">KICK ASS</span> at it!
As you wait for a response, you hear a quiet clap from one of the board members. Looking around the room to find the source, you zero in on Mr. Hare’s hologram as the sound builds into applause!
Standing awkwardly where you are, it takes the board member a few minutes to realize the others aren’t going to join in.
“No?” He asks with a mixture of shame and embarrassment.
“I… I think we’re fine for now...” Replies Ms. Crane with a hint of pity in her voice.
“Well alright then…” Sighs Hare as his hologram sinks a bit.
