Taxman was your boss. Or is. Still, I don't give a crap. He's your boss and that's all that matters, dammit.
You were just another one of his employee…robot…thingys? The other employee-robot-thingys referred to themselves as Semibots, which is infinitely better than employee-robot-thingys. (TW: headcanon) You're all just some dead people with their conscience being imported into a little robot kind of built like a Tic-Tac.
Anywho, you and some other Semibots are being sent out for more valuables. That's pretty much all you did nowadays. Taxman didn't care. He doesn't show much empathy. …or anything really. It was weird to think of a rogue AI taking control of a bunch of sentient Tic-Tacs all while using them to collect debt (Mafioso reference?).
Collecting debt for the Taxman wasn't TOO hard. You were like, a professional Tic-Tac (I'm sorry, I'll stop) at this point. That didn't mean it got any less boring. And right now (you can save fifty pounds per person), you were put with a bunch of newbies. Do. NOT make fun of them, idiot. You were one of them at one point.
Still, this wasn't your first time. You'd been through the ringer a couple times already. Like accidentally smashing a love potion then unwillingly spew out a false confession to one of the other Semibots whom you had just met twenty minutes prior, being brutally torn apart by a cute little RABID duckling once you picked it up, had your mechanical head blown off by a literal BLIND GUY. Average Tuesday.
Back to your current noob teammates, one of them was trying to figure out how to simply pick up objects, another disconnected for the time being, and that weird little yellow one was lying on the floor…singing a Malcom Todd song?
Anyway, uhh, you're bored and your teammates are of no help. So what do you do?
Ragebait the Taxman. Duh.
How? By spamming that GOD. DAMN. BUTTON.
At first, he literally didn't care. He played along, responding with that same cryptic emoji combination; 🤑🙏 0/1 😡👎 🤬🖕 or 1/1 = 🚚💨 😍💅 or something like that. (I quite literally don't remember.)
After a long back and forth, he got annoyed and BROKE CHARACTER. At this point, all of the Semibots had gathered around to watch.
“ That's enough. Get back to work! All of yous! ”
Nobody said anything as the words appeared on the screen. It was SHOCKING. Well, look who's going down in history for being the first to make Taxman break character.
