Day 2 Prompts: Irony / Mutual Administrative Assistance

Work Text:

Everyone is attending. Consider this as a team-building exercise, ART insisted.

"Stop sounding like a corporate slimeball," I said. "Tarik said he wouldn't watch it either."

Iris convinced him by getting him to choose what we watch. No intimate scenes.

"Fine."

 

Forty-two minutes later.

 

ART was not so keen to watch it anymore and suggested a change but turned down by everyone.

The film Tarik chose was a docu-drama about a shipful of passengers struggling to survive after a catastrophic engine failure caused by meteorite strike.

Taking pity, I offered my metaphorical hand. It instantly scooted closer, grasping it tightly.
