[Survey] Traits might fix some problems
‘You messed up big man.’
‘I know…’
‘So how are you gonna fix it?’
‘I wish I knew, if only I had like an extra set of arms.’
‘Cronus, how would an extra set of arms fix your problem?’
‘I could work twice as fast and on multiple things at once.’
‘But that won’t change the deadline of the costume.’
Cronus took a deep breath, downed another glass of whiskey and jammed their head on the bar.
‘Maybe you should wish for an extra liver instead.’
Cronus grunted and stook out his paw, ‘another one please.’
‘Buddy the alcohol won’t fix your problem either’, Hyde gave them another glass. ‘You should go home, rest up and at least try to finish the costume tomorrow.’
Cronus lifted his head again, took a sip of the drink and looked Hyde straight in the eyes. ‘I got commissioned by one of the biggest influences in the sewing world in all of Arez’. They moved around their glass so much while talking the drink spilled a bit on his arm and he quickly licked it off. ‘But dear old me just couldn’t find any inspiration and now the deadline is the day after tomorrow and I just can’t do it.’
Hyde shook his head, ‘sitting here at my bar isn’t going to fix that, since when do you take commissions anyway!’ He grabbed a bottle from under the bar, looked around and took a big sip. ‘I thought you only worked on the random things that pop up in that crazy mind of yours and then sell them to whomever is weird enough to buy it.’
Meanwhile Cronus had finished his drink again and held out the empty glass slightly shaking it. ‘No you are done, D O N E, Done.’ Cronus lifted his head, ‘You work here, you are supposed to give me however many drinks I want.’
Hyde looked at one of his colleagues behind the bar ‘can you guys handle this for the rest of the night while I take him home?’ The others nodded, it wasn’t a very busy night since it was the middle of the week.
‘Come on man it’s time to go home’ Hyde pulled Cronus from his seed and they almost fell to the floor. ‘Ugh you’re much heavier then I remember.’
Cronus laughed ‘small little Hollow Xero struggling to pick me up.’
‘I wish I was a Tundra so I’d be much taller then you’ Hyde sighed ‘see would be the funny one then.’
‘Can you imagine?’ Cronus laughed again. ‘Me with an extra set of arms and you, tall enough to reach the upper shelves in the supermarket.’
He dropped Cronus to the streets ‘oh no guess I have to drag you over the stones by your tail or something’.
Cronus grunted ‘just leave me here then so I can roll in my shame’.
‘Oh come on, it's not that bad, tomorrow you will either finish this god damn costume or tell Miss fancy pants that you are not making it.’ Hyde sat down next to his friend and pulled out a small flask, first taking a sip himself and then handing it to Cronus.
‘Maybe instead of wishing for traits we aren’t gonna get, we should just find a way to deal with what we have.’
‘I’ll toast to that old friend’
