Elevator Pitch: A series of chairs that disguise themselves in offices and give the illusion of a mediocre worker in order to “grind” out low level Jobs and send paycheques to their creator, an unnamed Young adult.
Central Narrative: 6 chairs, 5 of them bear memetic triggers that allow a non existent worker to fill out a low level office position when in proximity to a desk. These chairs’ triggers would also evade being caught by altering their coworkers’ perception and making the non existent worker appear average at their job. Even though there’s no work being done by their position, the entire office would be affected to perceive the chair as performing the average work output for an employee. The paperwork these workers have has empty fields, with the address and bank account being the same across all chairs. All of these chairs are recovered after the Foundation learns of their existence via a spreadsheet among the creator’s belongings. The Foundation becomes aware of the chair’s author while tracking MC&D operatives in [PLACE]. The 6th chair, a damaged leather chair with memetic triggers no longer functional, is found near the body of what is presumed to be the man responsable for the chairs.
Hook/Attention-Grabber: All chairs are implied to have lasted a significant amount of time at their positions, regardless of the non existent skill level they have at their Jobs. Some are even promoted, although not high enough to impede work. The 6th chair is implied to have been deposited at a facility with ties to the anomalous, which led to the demise of the creator of said chairs, who had gotten involved with the anomalous without enougb planning.
Additional Notes: I am on the fence regarding the involvement of a GOI on this piece. I will concede that all drafts of this narrative have so far involved at least one GOI but using them feels like a crutch.
Every day, I write my silly little words and plot my silly little plans.
