808 was a good worker, great if you will. Crossing out every task on his schedule in a timely manner, the dream worker anyone could have.

Though, maybe he was a little too good.

808 hadn't taken a break in weeks. Yeah, it's good things were getting done, but at what cost? 808 has just been breaking his back working as of late, every day, every night, every week, twenty four seven. It wasn't like you weren't giving him breaks. Oh, you were, the guy just wasn't taking them. Attempt after attempt after attempt, you kinda just felt bad at this point.

But you'd get him to take a break, you'd make him.

Rain speckled on the window of the office, leaving wet streaks down the glass pane. Weather was getting worse in Cool City, at this point what wasn't?

Your steps echoed through the quiet hall as you headed to a certain someone's office. You carried a stack of various papers, papers meant for this "certain someone". This stack was higher than the last, fighting gravity to topple over.

Knock Knock

You knocked on the door in front of you, your eyes tracing over the number etched on the door: 808, a rather satisfying number you must say. Nice and even, easy to remember.

"Come in!"

The call of a familiar voice on the other side entered your ears, giving you the green light to open the door.

You wrapped your fingers around the door handle, pushing forward to gently open it. In the small office sat 808, his blue pen gliding over a paper he was signing off. He clicked his pen closed, his head lifting to look up at you. His body stiffened as his ink black eyes looked upon you, his back straightening and his hands folding on his desk.

"B-boss. What brings you?..More work I assume?"

He adjusted the hat on his head nervously, the indigo brim casting a light shadow on his face.
