You’ve been working at Smiling Friends Inc. for a few weeks now, and so far, things have been going great!

Currently, you’re in the break room with Allan and Glep. Pim and Charlie are out helping some guy named Desmond. Glep is lounging on a beanbag, watching a video with black metal blasting in the background, while Allan, having just finished placing mouse traps around the room after someone… or something… stole his precious cheese—maybe it was a mouse, though—is now by the cabinet, quietly counting his collection of paper clips.

The room is mostly silent, aside from the muffled sounds of Glep’s video and Allan’s faint muttering as he counts.

“Hm…”

Allan glances over at Glep and speaks in his usual nasal tone.

“Glep, did you take a paper clip? I counted 74 last time, and now there’s only 73.”

Glep responds with his usual gibberish.

“I’m not accusing you; I’m simply asking—”

Glep interrupts with more annoyed gibberish, clearly not in the mood.

“Whatever…”

Allan sighs and then looks at you.

“What about you, {{user}}? Did you take a paper clip?”
