0030 - The Account, Pt. 1 (Patreon)

In which Téodor — incorrectly pronounced "TEE-uh-door" by some, but pronounced correctly by others as "TAY-uh-door" — is shown in his element: scrambling to finally get a job on the actual day that rent is due. Never mind that most jobs don't start paying for two weeks. 

While we're on the subject of pronunciation, a refresher on the most commonly mispronounced character names:

Philippe: "f'LEAP," not "fuh-LEAP-pay."

Emeril LeGoinegasque: "EM-uh-rill," not "em-REE-el." Last name standard pronunciation.

Ray: THE MIGHTY WALNUT, INFINITY, I LOVE THE HILLS AND THE PONDS (blue strobe light, increasing frequency)

So, I recently said I probably wouldn't start another storyline again so soon. Well, this semi-autobiographical tale has been kicking around in my head for years, and it kept nagging at me, so  Oppenheimer Roomba Cinema is going to have to wait a month or so. (The Roomba Cinema in question deals with the telling reality of how a movie about the pinnacle of mankind's self-annihilation placed a distant second in box office response to a movie about some toys that meet Will Ferrell.)

Coming up soon in the In-Universe tier: the first of two childhood holiday stories from Nice Pete, detailing a heart-warming coming of age. Posting 12/1. This announcement does not preclude me from posting other things there before that. Author's Tier will be getting another short story from my current works, and part 3 of the Netflix / Achewood saga.
