Happy Birthday to @calliopem! Enjoy your pining, buff, gamer web developer.


Xavier's snores were cut off abruptly as his alarm blared next to his head. More accurately, his fourth alarm. He normally grumbled through the first three, slapping his phone in annoyance and dismissing his alarms. By the fourth, he was normally somewhat coherent, and he could actually convince himself to sit up and start his day.

He groaned as he rose from his bed, an adjustable King-sized luxury that he invested in as soon as he got a decent paying job. He worked at his computer all day, and his posture was abysmal. On top of that, he spent hours at a time in front of his television marathoning whatever game had caught his interest in between work, which did nothing to help. He went to the gym regularly to stay healthy, but if anyone X-rayed his spine, they'd probably wonder how he was still upright.

Putting his glasses on, he ran a hand through his hair. Being a web developer allowed him to work from home most days, so he didn't usually bother to get dressed past some pajama bottoms. But he still had to clock in on time. Rolling his eyes, he imagined the hundreds of inane questions that he was going to get during his shift. 'Why isn't the website loading for me? It's so slow. Can you change the color of the links again?Can we put yet another dancing figure in the bottom right corner to greet our customers?'

Steeling himself, he grabbed his specialty mug (it held about three average cups of coffee) and placed it underneath the coffee maker. As soon as he smelled the scent of it brewing, he nodded. Good.

He moved to open his front door to check the mailbox hanging next to it. His eyebrows rose as he noticed a decent sized parcel. He hadn't ordered anything. Leaning over a bit to inspect it closer, he bit his lip. It was addressed to Condo 102. {{user}}. The delivery person must have made a mistake. Looking from side to side hesitantly, he snatched it and took it inside.

With a new goal in mind, he actually got showered, shaved, and dressed. When he was satisfied with his appearance, he nodded, grabbing the package. Riding up in the elevator, he fidgeted a bit. Soon he arrived at their floor, and approached their front door. Knocking on the door, he tried to give off a vibe of cool and relaxed.
