Ant Skit Episode 7: Promotion

 :ant:: Tsk, tsk I almost feel sorry for him...Well, it's partly his fault, he could have gone for ANYBODY but Nooo :face_with_rolling_eyes:...It had to be the most difficult, most irritating, most stubborn entity in the world...So it's hard to feel sorry for that. I personally prefer someone with a cheery and bright, beautiful personality, someone who just lights up the room, the adorable sort:relieved_face:..I would never go for a high-handed, know-it-all, stubborn, crass certain someone wi-...

Lei Xing: I would never go for you either...I'm not into scrawny :unamused_face:

**:ant: immediately jumps up, knocking over his chair as he scrambled to cover the screen, then he stared at LX who was casually leaning against the door of his room**

:ant:: I didn't say I - Don't you know how to knock?! There's this thing called PRIVACY, you know!

Lei Xing: :face_with_rolling_eyes: Well then, you should learn to close your door.

:ant:: :angry_face: What do you want? 

Lei Xing: *slowly looks :ant: up and down* :smirking_face:...Just taking some measurements...

:ant:: :worried_face: Measurements? For what? *covers chest*

Lei Xing: *snort* None of your business...Author wants you in her office *Then she turns and disappears down hallway humming to herself*

:ant:: Am I in trouble again? :downcast_face_with_sweat:...But trouble aside, somethings can no longer be tolerated! :pouting_face:

************************

**:ant: bursts into Author's office**

:ant:: I have an issue that needs to be rectified immediately! I need a lock on my door! Everyone has one, why don't I have one? This is discrimination! I demand that you do something about it o-

Author: Shut up! Sit down or Get lost! :confounded_face:

*:ant: immediately sits down and stares at Author wide-eyed and watches as Author massages forehead* 

:ant:; *clears throat* Um...If something's wrong. I can come back later, it's not urgent so-

Author: *blinks and then smiles* Oh, nothing's wrong! Everything's great! Sit, sit. Oh, you're sitting... Just a little tired is all :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:

*:ant: nods hesitantly, still ready to :person_running_light_skin_tone:*

Author: Sooo...how is my favorite star doing? Tell me, how was your vacation? :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

:ant:: Favorite...star :flushed_face: - Wait, vacation? I...was on vacation? :worried_face:

Author: Didn't Lei Xing tell you?

:ant:: :crying_face: No! She said that I was suspension! :fearful_face:

Author: Suspension, vacation, same thing...Anyway, I have great news for you. I have something important in the works for you...And I know you will love it! 

:ant:: Oh!... Here I was starting to worry I was going to be fired :grinning_face_with_sweat:...So what is it? 

Author: Your own story!...Your. Own. World...with your very own leading lady too :winking_face:

:ant:: :flushed_face: Really?

Author: Yep! Really, I've been excited and everything! :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

:ant:: So when does it start? 

Author: Ahhh...Um, *blinks*...Soooon, eventually, we'll get there...Someday...You know I'm just so busy and I have so much to do...You saw me when you came in, right? All these people keep coming to interrupt me. You see, there's no one else to help them. No one to put things in order, put them in their place...If someone could just -...*sigh* But there's no one to help, so you'll just have to wait for now...*sighs and looks at papers on desk dejectedly*

:ant:: :crying_face::thinking_face::grinning_face_with_big_eyes: I can help!

Author: *looks up in "surprise" :pleading_face:* You can? You would? Can you?

:ant:: Of course! Ah...I have lots of free time...

Author: :thinking_face:...But it's not always easy...It might be a bit too difficult for you...

:ant:: No, no, not at all. I know a lot about managing stuff. I do it all the time! You can trust me! I can do it! :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Author: Hmm...

******************

Jun Kai: Xing er', how about we go out today?

Lei Xing: En?

Jun Kai: We'll figure out where to go as we go along...just getting away will be good, it's too cramped here :unamused_face:...

Jun Shan: If you feel it's crammed, you should leave on your own...

Tung Mei: I know right, you are the one making her feel cramped, move! :unamused_face:

Jun Kai: :expressionless_face:...Irrelevant people should stay out of OUR conversation. 

Tung Mei: *scoffs* I think you're the irrelevant one here...she's not even paying attention to you.

Jun Shan: *shakes head* Some people just cannot take a hint.

Jun Kai: Speak for yourself! :face_with_steam_from_nose:

**Jun Kai ignores the extras and looks back to Lei Xing, who is staring at her phone intently playing a game**

Jun Kai:...Xing er', how about it?

Lei Xing: What? *looks up with a lost expression*

Jun Kai: :downcast_face_with_sweat:...Let's go out.

Lei Xing: No, the weather sucks. It's raining out...

**Tung Mei burst out laughing and Jun Shan snickers**

Jun Kai: *glares at the extras* ...There are too many pests here:angry_face:.

Lei Xing: *follows his line of sight* :face_with_rolling_eyes: You must be seeing things.

**Laughter increases*...and glaring intensifies**

**:ant: enters**

:ant:: Okay, that's enough playing around...settle down everyone.

Everyone: :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Tung Mei: Who made you boss? 

:ant:: I am now your Gaffer :relieved_face:

Jun Shan: Gofer?

Tung Mei: Oh, makes sense...wait a moment, I'll write out my list.2

Jun Kai: Go get an umbrella, we're going out...just one *smirks at Lei Xing*

Lei Xing: I'm not going anywhere :unamused_face:

Jun Shan: I don't have any tasks for now right now, but give me your number. I will message you when I have something.

:ant:: :neutral_face:... I said GAFFER not GOFER!!:face_with_steam_from_nose: It means I am now in charge of you all! 

Everyone: :neutral_face:.... :face_with_tears_of_joy::face_with_tears_of_joy::rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:...

:ant:: I'm serious! Author promoted me just now. I am now the intermediary between you all and the Author.

Jun Shan: Ah, she has been lacking an assistant.

Lei Xing: Oh, so it's so no one bothers her, lackey. You must be SOOO proud :smirking_face::thumbs_up:

Tung Mei: You got played, Gofer :face_with_tears_of_joy:

Jun Kai: Hurry and get the umbrella :expressionless_face:

Eunuch Li: On that note, I do have some complaints about the conditions of this common room. A few upgrades can be made to make it more comfortable, such as...*lists of inadequacies and lacking amenities*

:ant:: Well - 

Lei Yong: The gym needs some work...mainly, there is no gym. How can we be expected to keep in shape? Do you know how much it cost for a gym membership around here? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

:ant:: I'm not sure... :sad_but_relieved_face:

Eunuch Li: There's also the issue of the accommodations...my bed is very lumpy and... *lists problem after problem...again*

:ant:: :crying_face::crying_face::crying_face:...
