Gimme Just a Little Bit (XS)
Byte decided late last night that basic capitalism was way too slow. Why work for money when you can simply rig a claw machine to drop emeralds instead of plushies? Byte was blasting Rina Sawayama on repeat, taking the lyrics "Gimme just a little bit more" as a direct personal challenge. Why settle for basic living when you can turn your entire existence into a gold-plated, diamond-encrusted fever dream?
Now, resting her chin on her hands in a sea of stolen luxury, Byte grinned at the camera. She had custom 'BYTE' perfume bottles, designer bags, macarons, and giant diamonds surrounding her like dragon hoard gold. A bright neon sign pulsed over her head: XS — GIMME JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE.
Nova slammed her hands on the table, breathing heavily. "Byte! You hijacked a high-end jewelry store’s vault, rigged an overhead crane, and spent three million dollars in stolen credit line credit!"
"Flexing isn't a crime, Nova! It’s excess!" Byte purred, tossing a massive green gem into the air and catching it. "Rina Sawayama said we want more, and I am a woman of the people! Plus, look at these pearls—they match my collar!"
"The SWAT team is literally outside!" Nova yelled.
Byte casually reached up, grabbed a dangling claw machine arm, and snagged another giant diamond out of mid-air. "Tell 'em to bring more champagne! We're just getting started!"
