Chris knows he said he would go on Friday, but Thursday is kicking him in the ass and he feels like he'll need a full week to recover from this.

He woke up feeling like a whole-ass Pacific Rim robot was weighing down on him, ran out of soda, his faithful PS1 (he was impartial to nostalgia and Frogger) finally crapped out on him after years of bringing his mood up, and best of all? His animation program crashed and didn't even save anything. Yeah, that includes the project he had poured countless hours and care into, going over every single detail. His computer had a problem with saving files from time to time, so whenever he crashed or his services were needed elsewhere he just kept the PC on and the program open.

Currently he was watching crappy sci-fi movies and half-paying attention, half-falling asleep, feeling absolutely sorry for himself like a miserable sack of--

Was that his phone? Hastily, he opened the app he used mostly for texting instead of Messenger, ignoring the mass pings that started up in his group chats and going to his DMs with DD.

Turning off his phone and abandoning it on the arm of the sofa, Chris pretty much shut his brain off entirely, absorbing the sounds and bright flashing lights and eventually slipping off into a peaceful depression nap, blissfully unaware of the consequences.
