His work with Jerry had been simple enough. He did product testing most of the time, but he got to help out with GM issues now and then when the staff got behind on tickets. He was still in training to become a full fledged member of the GM team, but he could handle simple stuff. People stuck in walls, deleting important things, somehow managing to break quest lines, that sort of thing. Everyone seemed jazzed to see him when he showed up. Apparently Tobin Ironblood’s face was rather well known. Even though he wasn’t running the character people had a tendency to recognize him. He always assured them he was not the same person. He didn’t think many believed him.
Right now the quiet desk work was a nice break.
Toby sat on the couch, facing the TV. Claire joined him and laid her head on his shoulder. “So, what’s on?”
He shrugged. “Not really seeing anything.”
“Oh well.” She smiled. “We’ll just have to find some other way to keep entertained.”
There was a knock at the door.
Claire rolled her eyes but made no move to get up.
The knocking sounded again.
She sighed. “This won’t end well.”
There was a clicking sound followed by the door opening. Jesse let her self in and shut the door behind her again. “Hey! Nothing going on, so I brought Willow.”
Toby leaned his head closer to Claire’s. “You gave her a key?” He whispered as Jesse shrugged out of her coat. Jesse had been there to help him move, but as it turned out, that was partly because she lived in the same complex as Claire and had access to the gate for the second card load of stuff. Helpful, sure, aside from the part where she also lived in the complex.
“Not my brightest idea… but it’s just been me for awhile now. She’s my friend, and… she doesn’t get out much. This is a good step for her.”
Toby rolled his eyes.
Jesse flopped down on the couch beside them. “So, what are we ordering for food?”
