Go for a walk... and Find an Oppurtunity

Needing some air, Quinn decided to take a walk around the parking lot. Once outside, he was free to let his anger out.

"That sexist bitch!" He growled, low enough that nobody could overhear. "I'm perfect for the job in every way but because I have a penis I'm out. GOD!" He kicked a can, sending it clattering across the pavement. The things he would do to Susan if he had the chance! Maybe she hated men because she hadn't had a proper fucking in years!

Sighing, he leaned against a parking meter. It was hopeless. Who would he complain to, HR? Susan Foster was HR! There was really nothing he could do! **** for a distraction, he opened his phone intent on browsing Instagram.

However, something was off about his home screen. It only took a moment to find out what it was. There was a new icon, something Quinn did not remember downloading. There was no name, just two letters: SG. Now, Quinn knew that this was almost certainly a virus and that he should delete it. However, he was curious and bored, and his apathy was at an all-time high. Opening it, he got to figuring out what it was.

Well, it got him to laugh, which was something. It was called the Sophistry Generator and it was an obvious scam. Strengthens your logic! Augments the reality of others! What kinda Alpha Male bullshit was this?! Amused enough to not delete it, he closed the app and headed back inside. Before he got to his deck, however, he was intercepted by Prisha.

"Hey Quinn, how did the meeting go?" She asked, though not as bubbly as usual.

"Oh, it was fine," he lied, rubbing the back of his neck. "It was pretty to the point. Though she said she liked my work so that's good."

"Oh, great!" She chirped. "It's just, Jessie saw you through the window and said you looked angry. I was worried it had gone badly."

"Oh, that! No, that was... that was nothing!" Quinn tried to reassure, floundering a bit. "I was just... getting energy out. You know, kick a can, punch a pillow. It makes you more productive!"

-1 BS. 99 remaining.

Quinn blinked, startled. What the hell was that! It felt like a phone notification but in his head.

Prisha did not seem to notice, once again her cheery self. "Oh, you're totally right! Well, keep up the good work" With that, she returned to her desk, leaving Quinn standing around very confused.

Eventually, he returned to his cubicle. -1 BS? What the hell did that mean? Where had he heard that... wait, BS! Beguiling Score! That stupid app. He hurriedly opened it, to find he had a new notification.

BONUS XP +1! Next level in 9XP.

BONUS CASH +1!

Quinn had to blink a few times. What was going on? That scam was real?! He could manipulate whoever he wanted!!!

Was this just a coincidence? If not, there were so many possibilities! This could change his life!

Before he could muse on the subject further, however, he felt a light tap on his shoulder. Turning around, it was Prisha. Quinn quickly turned off his phone screen, hoping she hadn't seen her own profile.

Luckily, she gave no indication of having caught a glimpse. "Hey Quinn, I know you just got back to desk and all, but I'm reeeeeeeeeally dragging today. Could you grab me another cup of coffee?"
