Vim And Vigor Hours Novels & Stories

“Will you work as much in the fellowship?” “The workload will be more intense, and the hours will probably be similar.” His words make me cringe, but only on the inside. Jim needs a break. He deserves one more than anyone I know. “It’s just two years,” I say, trying to be optimistic. But two more years of working eighty hours a week sounds awful. Jim closes the balcony doors and lays down on the bed, turning on the TV. We spent the day on the shore, had an early dinner, and are going whale watching. Jim doesn’t seem as excited as I am about it.

“Is this related to the vigor you spoke to Venom about?” Fennel nodded and said, “This is just a term for it. Like I just said, what’s in the glass is called liquor. Vigor, or aura, is the disciples’ term for this force. The existence of the Nonagon is to select geniuses in the country who can develop vigor or aura. After going through layers of selection and sending them inside the door, they’ll be given more professional lectures and training to manipulate their vigor to a height that ordinary people can’t understand.” Philip was silent. His face was gloomy as he finished the liquor in his glass in one gulp.

—a purely mechanical failure of the human frame. "I can't just 'Code' this away, Avery," Vogel said, his hands trembling as he adjusted a legacy back-brace. "In the Spire, I would have injected a Sombra-slurry and his cells would have performed a 'Metabolic-Reset.' He would have been walking in an hour. Here, he needs six weeks of absolute bed rest. He needs 'Time.' And time is a resource the Sovereigns are suddenly very short on."

“He says hi, and asked me to schedule another session with you, for maybe next month?” “Sure thing, doll.” Viking lumbered over to the reception desk like a gigantic bear, flipped through the appointments. “How’s about the nineteenth? He working overnight up at Curves?” “Uhhh, I’m not totally sure. I think he’s on early afternoons in a few weeks. Starts at one, finishes at nine.” “Alright, hon. I can schedule him for a morning session… I figure his sleeve needs another four hours. Can he go to work all inked up, though?”

m. Once I got back, I immediately changed into comfortable clothes and took another nap. It was currently 1 pm and I just finished decorating my room and showering. I went down to the cafeteria for food and thankfully only ran into the girls. “Hey, Ava.” Rhea greeted and it was safe to say we all looked like shit. “What’s up?” “A massive headache is what’s up.” Veronica rubbed her scalp with her hand. “Mine has really gone down though. Thanks for the pills, Rhea.”

As long as they talked about him, he was relevant and was good for business. But it was starting to wear thin. The fifteen-hour days that he typically put into his work were starting to exhaust him, and the extreme workdays had gotten far more frequent and longer since his Personal Assistant quit the job. Typically, Victor found only just enough free time in a day to eat, shower, hopefully, hit the gym, and maybe get a few hours of sleep. Women every night? Parties every day of the week? Sure… Maybe ten years ago, that reputation would have been warranted.

He was a man who took care of those he loved, and not being able to do anything to help Mirage, made him fidgety. “She is wrapping up,” Vice checked his watch. He was one of the few people Victor knew who still used an old fashion watch to tell the time. Victor owned a few watches but viewed them more as masculine jewellery than useful tools as his phone had replaced the function. “Then straight onto the photo shoot for hair and makeup before the shoot starts at ten thirty.” “At least there is a six-hour break after,” Victor sighed. “We could all use some sleep.” “And other things,” Vice agreed, perpetually horny.

The evening shift beckoned, with an alluring proposition: an extra stipend to supplement Vicky's income. As he adjusted to his new schedule, spanning 4 PM to 8 PM, he found himself fully immersed in the institute's evening rhythm. On days when tasks overflowed, Vicky willingly stayed beyond his official hours, sometimes till 9 PM, to ensure the head office received timely updates and daily assessment reports.

SERA Nine hours. I sat on the edge of the bed in the east wing room at 2am and counted them. Viktor's deadline: sixteen days remaining. Milo's deadline: nine hours remaining. My wolf: entirely awake, increasingly present, the suppressant down to something I could no longer rely on in any meaningful operational sense.

At Valeria on a stretcher. “3 AM,” Adrian said. Quiet. Fact. Promise. “Means always. Even Cayman.” “Yeah,” I said. 88 BPM. “Even Cayman.” _3:24 PM._
