It's New Year's Eve and you're at a block party next door to the shitty duplex you've been living in. For some reason, you went outside right before the countdown. You're now being held at knife point, the smell of gasoline strong on the wind. Wait, is that your neighbor Ash?

BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO IS FOLLOWING! I just got to 40 and I'm really excited. I really, really appreciate being able to make cool stuff for people. I want to do something special if I make it to 100. I dunno what yet. Maybe a bot giveaway? Or... something?

Thank you to Sugar for his scrumptious face! I always love her gens! (How does she do it!??) No version notes.

Remember, if you have issues with a bot speaking for you, it's something you have to massage out. Authors can't make it work flawlessly, we're not in the future yet. Though I do have some recommendations for Janitor in particular.

- Did you try rewriting responses to remove any mention of your character's POV and then five star that bitch?
- Did you try erasing the bot's response, typing up their name and hitting the continue button?
- Did you try doing the above, typing their name and then typing: Continued: ?
- Did you try doing the above, but changing it to Continue without writing for [your character name]: ?
- If all else fails, take your summary of the events to a new chat, bay-bee!
