Log No: A675A08 Log type: Personal Another evening of paperwork ahead of me. I’m still not caught up on all the extra work generated by Sal’s disappearance in that asteroid… Damn him! I’ve told him so many times that he can’t keep running off all over the place doing science when he’s supposed to be running the company. Or at least… looking like he’s running it. Ugh, I can’t concentrate… all these late nights are taking their toll… maybe I could… rest my eyes… just for a second… zzzzzz… …and I must say Miss Long, with these grades you’ll be able to take your pick of companies. They’re all desperate for brilliant young accountants like yourself. Thanks Professor! Have you had any thoughts about which company you’d like to work for? Oh yes Professor, Explorien Science. You mean Octan Corporation, Miss Long? What?? Of course not! Oh, but… you haven’t heard? I suppose you must have been on your way here when it was announced? When what was announced? Explorien has been bought out by Octan. WHAT?! About time too if you ask me, they’ve been struggling for- I have to go, sorry Professor! But… I wish you’d stay a little longer Abigail. With your mother gone too it’s going to be very lonely here. I know Dad. But I have to go live my life! I can't just end up as some cog in the machine. That's not what I want any more. Not after all that's happened with Mom and... Well, promise you’ll stay in touch, at least. Of course I will. Don’t worry, I won’t be like her. Not ever. Hey sweetheart, what’s a beautiful little thing like you doing in a place like this? Mostly getting hit on by Octan slime like you. Hey now… Is this how you deal with the fact you work for the worst corporation in the galaxy? You drink yourself stupid until you can forget you’re just a drone in a soulless machine, hoping you can sleep with someone who still has a spark of life since yours was drained into the Octan cesspit years ago. Wha…? You don’t… I… Best run off home now drone. Bye bye! Heh heh heh, nicely done. Yeah? You want the same treatment? Easy there. Just wanted to let you know that we’re currently looking for people with your kind of spirit in M.A.N.T.I.S. And if you hate Octan as much you seem to, there’s no better company to work for. I’m listening… Thanks for reading! Something a little different this week. C&C welcome! Edited November 2, 2015 by Big Sal Quote
mediumsnowman Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Woah... The plot thickens! Great series of builds, the professor's office is my favorite. Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Beautiful vignettes Sal! They're all simply gorgeous! Love the diversity of colours here, especially! The blinds are great in the first Vignette, and Chief Accountant Long's room is particularly nice! I love how you managed to frame her torso's emblem in the mirror! I dunno if that was intentional or not, but it worked perfectly! and the sand green floor and pink walls are very aesthetically pleasing. And her desk is great! Perfect! And that story! delightfully written! I love how fleshed out a character she's becoming! Can't wait to see what you have in store for her! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
EpsilonEta Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Wonderful story. It's nice to read your flashbacks and back stories. (also appreciate that you don't try to overly explain what most of us probably figured out already) I'm working on one for Raven too but don't really know how to best work it in to the story, I have an idea thou. I too like Abigail's room best but those bookshelfs are nice too. If I where to complain on anything it would we the photoshoped buildings not lining up with the windows. (but the building is seen from below where the window is higher up so it's hard to do anything about it. I think I think I recognize the art, are they from sim city or something?) Quote
Kodan Black Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 The professor's office is really inspired, particularly the window shades! Love the different scenes, nice story too. Quote
LucasLaughing Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 I've really been enjoying your flashback vignettes - great story and great builds! I think the bedroom is my favorite in this one - so many great details, like the bedside lamp and the guitar under the bed. I think I need to stock up on some more Friends sets - you're getting some excellent parts usage out of them Quote
Big Sal Posted October 12, 2015 Author Posted October 12, 2015 Thanks for the comments everyone! I love how you managed to frame her torso's emblem in the mirror! I dunno if that was intentional or not, but it worked perfectly! It was... semi-intentional I noticed in the first set of photos I took that I'd unintentionally included a bit of it in the mirror, so I had to go back and retake them with it framed fully If I where to complain on anything it would we the photoshoped buildings not lining up with the windows. (but the building is seen from below where the window is higher up so it's hard to do anything about it. I think I think I recognize the art, are they from sim city or something?) Yeah, I wasn't happy with that either. I might try it again once its been scored, maybe with a different image, and see if I can make it look a bit better. I'm not sure where the artwork is from originally, I just grabbed an image off google Quote
SpacerSteve Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 All the scenes you built are excellent! It was fun to see the chief accountant grow more bitter toward Octan through each scene. Quote
Andromedas Gates Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 The judges awarded you 5 points. Quote
