Opening Shift

I finally finished cleaning up my place to my satisfaction, with enough time to get ready for work at a leisurely pace. Making sure to remember my spare key and guest parking placard, and the Remote of course, I head out to work. Actually, I have time to grab some coffee on the way.

Unlocking the rear door, I turn on the kitchen lights and boot up the computer to clock in. I go through my checklist, turning on the ovens, pulling dough out of the freezer, and setting up the topping station. Shortly after I get into a groove, the door opens and Emmy enters.

"Morning, Andy!" She calls, clocking herself in and tying her apron on. "Oooh, donuts? You shouldn't have!"

"Hey, you deserve it. Lord knows you've been carrying these opener shifts." I respond while getting the register counted and set to receive orders. "Speaking of, do you want to run cashier for lunch again, or focus on the kitchen?"

"I'll stay back here for now, we can trade off once lunch starts." She says. While her back is turned getting some boxes folded, I pull out the Remote.

Do I really want to do this? I mean, sure, using the Remote doesn't seem to hurt anyone, but this is Emmy. Rachel and Luna were mistakes while I didn't know what this did. I can't knowingly use it on anyone else I'm close with.

Anyway, I do have a job to do. "Hello, this is Broken Paddle Pizza, how can I help you?"

Business picked up and I put the remote out of my mind. Between taking orders and handing them off to the drivers, there isn't any time for a break until mid-afternoon when Rachel clocks in.

"Hey Andy, hey Emmy. How's it been today? Not too bad, I hope." I have a clear shot at her with her back turned, and Emmy focused on packing an order for delivery.

Still displaying "no new attribute"... I wonder when that will unlock...

"Oh, Rachel, Maddie's coming by soon to pick up my spare key, she wanted to say hi." I remember, putting the remote back into my pocket.

Now that we have an extra set of hands, work goes by smoothly. Emmy is ringing up a take-out order while Rachel and I fulfill existing tickets. She's talking about some documentary she watched last night, but most of it goes over my head.

Emmy pokes her head into the kitchen. "Andy, someone is asking for you."

"Must be Maddie! I gotta grab something for her, I'll be up in a sec." I grab the key and head to the counter when I'm struck by an idea. There's a one-way mirror looking into the pick-up counter. If I can get the angle right... bingo.

Target Selected: MADISON WELLS

Am I being a bit hypocritical, using the remote on Maddie after deciding not to use it on Emmy? Sure. Do I need to justify it to anyone else? Not really. I pushed the button to start the roulette.

Wait, she's going to be living with me for a while...
