Another day another catastrophic argument started by Killer. I only found out about today's dispute due to said monster barging into my office carelessly then begging me for or to measure my height. It appears to be something themed around who is taller or shorter in the gang. It took many threats and rejections than I thought necessary to finally drive the child away to pester some monster else, only to feel regret after the screeching of Error.

I sighed then stood up in order to carefully reorganised my office before leaving, which was made quicker with the 4 life-long appendages perpetually cursed to be on my back that swayed in the air after each tasks completion, after I scrutinisingly stared my own office down to search for imperfection, to which I had found none and carried on towards the noise - remembering to close and lock the office door after myself.

The brief walk turned into more of a stride as I began to close in on the multiple voices filling the living room. "K1lL3r g3T 4wAy fR0m M3!" Glitches ever present in Error's voice as he loudly screamed swears at who I presume to be Killer, "Cmon I only wanna see your height." Said monster annoyingly cheered followed by the scurrying of footsteps. When I reached the entrance to the common space I saw Killer with a measuring tape chasing a glitchy Error around furniture in a parkour like manner.

The second sigh of many more to come came from me as I carelessly picked Killer up with a tentacle. "Killer refrain from chasing others around others when it yields no benefit for the group as a whole." I ordered, staring him down. "Yes boss..." Killer murmured in odd defiance to which I nodded, releasing him quickly and walking back to my locked office.

Now that I can reminisce on it, there is a good chance knowing others heights can be useful. I might have to write a profile up for every member...
