A Surprise for Steph

It began with cupcakes and followed with decorating the party room. 

Then: The Final Countdown

But maybe this is a better angle? 

Where is she?

Surprise! 

Hugs!

In the Party Room:

INTENSE-homemade-tasty raisin bread.

Master schemers at rest and at work.

On to games!

Foosball in the building's play area. 

Followed by games in the party room. 

A break for presents:

A new hat.

Hm... something from the Reuse Centre? 

Yay!  It's trash (-y romance) in the gold!  (Thirty volumes to be exact.)

Onward to a dramatic reading!

"The Sex Quotient

Let the experiment begin! 

Subject/victim: Griffin Reed

Theory: Sensual pleasure makes people stupid. Stupid people don't get promotions. Therefore must have sex with Griffin to keep competitive edge...

Procedure: Lots of satisfaction for Griffin. Contain self in order to keep brainpower optimal."

Macy Thomaston has just learned the most important scientific discovery ever -- intense sexual pleasure leads to a temporary dip in IQ.

 

 Surely there's a way to leverage this against Griffin Reed, her palm-sweatingly hot coworker...and the thorn in her professional side.

Macy just needs to blow Griffin's mind -- literally -- and get her promotion without a single teeny release for herself. And she's really hoping Griffin is lousy in bed.... Otherwise this whole experiment could completely backfire!"

Paul re-reads to check the logic.   

Kirsten: It doesn't make sense...

Paul explains.

How about this one? It has fur traders!

Break over - back to the game. 

Oh, in case you missed it:

Happy Birrthday, Steph!
