“If the shoe
fits, wear it.”
The
Sasquatch* #quote
Today I started
coding a prototype level of my game to show the club at ASU to get
their opinions. My game itself is nowhere near completion, but
showing them this early version where I have the basic mechanics
working and such will help since getting input early in the process
can help iron out big picture problems. Anyway onto the flash
fiction!
Springtime
Charisma
Charisma, the
force that leaders, persuaders, and societal connectors possess. It's
a personality trait and a superpower to sway those with just your own
natural aura. Charlie held this magnificent power, more so than many
people through history. However, some curse on his soul, or mind
caused it only to happen during springtime. Maybe it was magic, maybe
it was the weather. Maybe it was the alignment of the stars during
the year. Whatever the cause, Charlie was the most likable person in
the world during spring and distastefully boring during the rest of
the year.
Charlie lived a
life far different from other people, if he got promoted because of
his charisma he'd get fired as soon as his appeal wore off. So
eventually he had to settle for a low income job. No matter how he
tried he couldn't get anywhere.
Until one
wonderful little day when a politician walked into the store he
worked in. It was spring and Charlie struck up a conversation. The
politician noticed how likable this man was, but used to people who
used their charisma to get things done wasn't quite affected. However
he figured that he could use Charlie.
He brought
Charlie aside and offered him a job to speak with people and convince
them for deals. Charlie explained that he was only able to do this
during springtime.
The politician
simply said, “Then you will only bargain in Spring.”
