Assistant

I woke up, and was on a bed.

I scanned my surroundings. 'I 1 can't 2 think 3 properly.' I decided to give up, and started counting.

'Better to do that instead of nothing'. I thought for a while. 

"Aileen, can you talk"? I asked not expecting anything. 

[Assistant: Aileen is preparing please wait..] 

'Got it.' I tried getting up. *Bam!* I heard a loud sound.

I looked around but nothing. 'Am I hearing things??' *Bam!* *Crack!* 

Then I had a thought. 'Is that Aileen?!' I sighed then a door opened.

"How long was I asleep"? I asked gently. "About nine hours". Christine said. She was wearing a dress.

I didn't know what to say. So she said something.

"H-how do I look?" I was surprised by the question. I chuckled a little and answered.

"Beautiful". I smiled. "But, why did you dress up"? I asked curious.

She quickly turned away. 'I didn't say anything wrong right?'

Then she sat down beside me.

"By the way, a shop appeared in my system". She said.

"Oh, that's interesting. Do you also have coins"? I asked.

"Yes but I can't obtain it". She said disappointed.

'That's weird.' Then a message appeared. ["I'm finally done! "]

It was Aileen. ["I don't have a lot of time but I can explain.You have to give Christine an allowance. It can be either a daily, weekly or monthly allowance.]

I was interested. "Who is that"? Christine asked.

"My assistant". I said. To that Christine hugged my arm. "He's mine". 

'????' My brain stopped working. "C-Christine"? "What"? She asked innocently.

"Nothing, anyway she's helping with the system". Christine let go of my arm, and thought.

She made a happy expression. "Okay"! "Anyway, how do I assign an allowance"? 

["You open the shop and there should be a button there".] 

[Shop! High quality items only!] 

([Items]) [new!] [allowance]

Super flexible bandages. 2.5 coins.

Sword proof bandages. 15 coins.

Minor health restoring pill. 10 coins.

Cooking knife.(extra features) 10 coins. 

First I clicked the new option.

[Items] ([new!]) [allowance]

Well made dagger(D+) 15 coins.

Well made leather armor(D+) 20 coins.

Well made sword(D+) 30 coins.

Well made leather boots(D+) 15 coins.

[Ding!]

A message appeared.

[user: Aether25 and Animal lover Gail have added something to the shop!]

[You have gained 200 coins from Aether25 with the message: Thanks for the idea!]

I was pretty shocked. "What is it"? Christine asked seeing I looked shoocked.

"Just look". Christine turned her head, and her eyes lit up.

'Oh, so am I hallucinating?' 

Now a new option was added into the shop. 

([Items]) [accessories!] [makeup!] [new!] [allowance] 

me: What is this???

Sophisticated pro: Yeah, what is this?

Stray star 5000: What did you do now Luna?

Lunar star450: Nothing much just met up with Animal lover Gail.

Animal lover Gail: Yeah we got the idea after Lucid Party got released.

Aether25: Clockwork Purple....

me: yeah?

Aether25: Thanks! 

me: ??

Animal lover Gail: Yeah thanks clockwork Purple! It was very hard to fall asleep because I felt unsafe outside. But now I get excited to sleep. 

Stray star 5000: I 100% agree. but you should still be careful outside.

Sophisticated pro: Yeah, and I can even train my aim in Lucid Party!

me: you can do that??

Sophisticated pro: Yeah? unfortunately you have to pay a bunch of coins. Like almost 1k coins.

me: sorry I didn't know it was that expensive.

Stray star 5000: Yeah, I bought an area and got some furniture. I'm planning to make a house eventually.

'That's interesting'. "Christine I'm trying to do something here".

Lunar star450: Anyway what should we call you clockwork purple?

Me: why?

Lunar star450: I don't want to type clockwork purple every single time.

Me: hmm, maybe Rei?

Animal lover Gail: Ohhh, that works

Me: anyway I want your opinions on this.

I held my breath as I typed. "Hmm, should I ask questions later"? Christine looked bored.

I nodded.

Me: I've recently gotten the choice to share lucid party with other systems.

Stray star5000: This is interesting.

Animal lover Gail: isn't this an easy yes?

Sophisticated pro: yeah but the butterfly effect.

Lunar star450: true we don't know what would happen.

Aether25: I recommend you try to add more security features and limitations.

Me: okay I'll do that

The floating keyboard disappeared.

"What are you doing"? Christine was laying on my lap, and clicking something.

"Waiting until you finish".

"Okay, I'm done". She smiled satisfied.

She sat up and asked more seriously.

"You won't ever leave right"?

"Unless I die". I answered.

"Is that a promise"? She stared directly at me.

"I don't like promises". I responded. "But I won't leave you without a good reason".

"Yeah, and your answer is predictable". Christine sighed. 

'I should stop sighing, she'll pick it up.'

*knock knock!* The door opened.

"Hi, how are you feeling"? Taurai walked in.

"I feel fine". I didn't really know what to say.

"That's good". Then Brendon walked in.

"Why did that happen"?! Brendon had actual questions.

I answered and talked for a good while until I fell asleep.

'At this point I may as well call Lucid Party my home.' I sighed and checked something.

"Are there privacy settings to Lucid Party"? 

["Yes, although very few."]

[privacy settings]

(Invite only)/allow all /allow all friends

That was literally it. I looked at it dissatisfied. 

"So what is the price to add privacy rules"? 

["It shouldn't be big because of protection, and how we didn't care about privacy]  "What do you mean"?

["Well let's just say we thought humans were smarter".] "Is that an insult"? 

["We just thought humans would be more careful in Lucid Party. But apparently not?"]

"Yeah, about that". 

"We humans get catfished easily". 

["What does that mean?"] "Simply put if we have a way to communicate without seeing each other, someone can easily disguise themselves as someone else".

"What's the price to add privacy rules"? I asked, done explaining.

["It probably costs 1 coin per letter and way more per rule]
