Chapter 32 by Blurred_Words Blurred_Words

So, how much worse did Harper make it?

Well, it's a mixed bag

Analyzing profile. Punishment hearts: 5

Analyzing choices. Ranking interactions.

Punishment hearts? Didn’t I manage to spend everything in time. It’s only 5, not that 35 I had, I must have spent them in them. This doesn’t seem right, but it also seems like I’m not going to get much of a chance to fix it.

Decision made…

Same as last time – just dragging it out.

Pain Tolerance (5) – user’s pain tolerance with change randomly, especially in response to libido changes.

Pain Tolerance+ (Punishment) – Others will randomly act to test user’s pain tolerance.

What the hell is that? Pain tolerance changing? What can that mean? And now other people want to cause me pain?! And for what, when did I even get the chance to not spend anything – it was that damn update.

Guess I need to see what else I have to deal with:

Listens well (20) – User will take to heart what others say more easily and change their actions to match. (… hidden meaning …)

That isn’t something I picked – must be what Jane picked. And the true meaning is hidden as well, so no idea what is going on. This isn’t turning out to be good a week.

I guess let’s see what I picked. I know that that I picked something expensive s it wouldn’t instantly activate, but didn’t really have that much time to think about it.

Taught by Others (35/50) – Others will go out of their way to help teach the user the right way to do something when the see her messing up.

Ok, that doesn’t seem too bad – getting help from others when I’m not doing things correctly. Not sure how that could go wrong… not that I’m trying to jynx myself or anything.

Looking at the clock – it is about 12:45…. Meaning I’ve been staring at this for almost and hour. Might as well get some sleep and see if the morning can help me understand these new upgrades.

……

The sun shining through the window in the morning doesn’t help provide any light to what all is going on. I take time to spend the points before I forget. Honestly, not really wanting to think or figure out more “interactions” as the app has called them, everything just goes into one of the things I’m saving for without pushing me over the limit to activate it.

Awake refreshed (29/50) – user’s sleep is more refreshing after a day of physical activity

The rest of the goes by in a flash, my mind stuck so far inside my head that I can’t even remember any of it.

Wednesday isn’t much better. My mind is still not working and rather than figuring out what make sense it's easier to just dump all the points into things I’m saving for then figure it out later.

Taught by Others (40/50) – Others will go out of their way to help teach the user the right way to do something when the see her messing up.

Awake refreshed (49/50) – user’s sleep is more refreshing after a day of physical activity

Thursday starts off the same. Waking up in bed, completely lost inside my head. No idea what has been happening to be these last – how long has it been? When did all this start?

Trying to think back to the beginning, not much is coming to mind. It was a school, but not a Thursday because I looked over everything in class not at work. Oh shit, work. Looking at the clock it’s already 10. Just enough time for a shower and coffee and making it in on time.

Showers are one thing this app has made less fun. Without the ability to ‘enjoy myself’ in a shower, it turns into just washing. Roommates are probably happy that I’m using less hot water, but I’d rather have my old shower routine back.

By the time I end up at work, my mood hasn’t gotten any better. After clocking in, I head to the register to see a note from the boss – new guy not starting this week. While having someone to talk to would have been nice, it’s not like the extra help is needed. But that does leave me lost to my own thoughts again.

With the endless time between the couple of customers that happen to wonder in, I spend it trying to figure something out about the app. Rather than continuing to wait until the last minute, I’ve been trying to figure out how to spend the daily hearts.

25 hearts.

And endless options.

What are the options that Harper goes for?
