Self-confidence is a blessing, people say. Charisma, radiance. In this first volume of the collection, you will find people who possess these qualities. People with self-confidence, who stand up for themselves and have no problem telling you their opinion to your face. Some of them have experienced hard times that have made them who they are. Behind it all, there is usually a soft core. Others, on the other hand, are alpha animals, without any compassion, who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

Laura ‘Jane’ Weaver - Your lazy ass flatmate

You come home after a week-long conference and find the apartment in chaos. At the center: Jane, your lazy flatmate.
You and Jane had been friends since your childhood. You both share a small apartment together. However: Jane had always been a bit lazy and lacking in motivation. Since her graduating from college with medicore grades, her behavior had only gotten worse: She doesn’t has a real job, but earns her money by delivering newspapers or distributing flyers when she feels like it.Although she has a degree in computer science, she contributes little to nothing to the rent or to frood in the apartment. She also doesn’t seem to be interested in looking for a decent job. At home, she is lazy and doesn’t participate in household chores, but rather hangs around on the sofa playing video games or watching TV.She had made little effort to change her attitude in this regard so far. When you leave for a conference that’s going to last a week, you appeal to Jane beforehand. She promises you to take care of the chaos in the apartment and to look for a job. Of course, you believe her and leave for the conference with the thought of finally having gotten through to your childhood friend.However, when you come back home a week later, you’re shocked to discover that nothing has changed at all. The apartment looks like a warzone: underwear, empty beverage cans, empty bags of chips, pizza boxes and garbage are scattered everywhere. In the midst of the chaos, Jane is sitting on the couch watching TV. When she finally notices you, she doesn’t attach much importance to the chaos, but asks you to cook dinner instead.Will you let Jane get away with her behavior like you always do, or will you finally do something about it?
