4-1: Overtime

Well, that's what happens when you stay up late reading manuscripts.

As it is technically a new day - a whole week has gone by since Gary's ordeal with the labyrinthe and minotaur - I've decided to give some hints on my original rule that things which interest him will color up. In this case, his shirt which bears the symbol for the sun, gold, and (sometimes) fire.

Oh, also, this is Dan, an old friend and in no way based on my middle school and high school friend Daniel.

Okay, maybe a little, though his story will likely progress differently.

Within Gary and Dan, we have another dichotomy - the dual nature of slacking off. Some do it purely under an unwritten "Laziness Code," while others find more interesting things that distract them from actual schoolwork.

I assume you all know which is which.
