Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

"Sure thing." Leo replied.

He then hooked the drive up to her laptop and loaded it up.

And was stunned at what he saw.

"Oh, man." he mumbled.

"These will REALLY shake up the game." he told her.

"Seriously, these will improve it SO damn much!"

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"It's not that big of a difference... Is it?" lunet asked after a second or two.

"because I don't know if making too many changes will be such a good idea..." as she spoke, she got to her feet.

"Also, back in a minute. Want to test the call quality, so I'm going upstairs and will call you."

"Yeah, sure." he responded.

"When you get back, I'll elaborate on what I said."[/] he told her.

She then left the room and he waited, when he heard his phone. He checked it, saw it was her, and answered.

[b]"Hello, hello."
he said.

"You hearing me clearly?" he asked.

"Yeah, I am. There's a minor fuzziness, but that might be because of my phone." Lunet answered.

"Can you hear me well and clear?" She askedm, her voice curious.

"Because that's important too."

Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

"I can as well, and I hear the fuzziness too." Leo responded.

"So I don't think it's your phone." he told her.

"Maybe something jarred loose inside them, I'll have to take a look, or maybe the connectivity isn't as great as I want it to be." he mumbled.

"Regardless, thanks." he continued.

"Now come on back to test MORE tech stuff."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"Yeah, fair." Lunet answered.

"I'll be back down there in a few minutes." She added before the call was ended. Sure enough, it didn't take long for her to reafch where he was downstairs.

"At least I know that it isn't just me." She commented after stepping into the room.

"It's probably a wire or something needs to be fiddled with though, if I were to hazard a guess."

"More than likely." Leo replied.

"Now, I don't mean to say that you're changing everything drastically." he said.

"It's just that the quality-of-life changes you're adding will make things SO much smoother." he explained.

"And I like the concept of being to 'test' an upgrade before selecting it." he continued.

"That's what I mean when I say it'll change a lot." he said.

"You're just making things a LOT more user-friendly."

...and I'll forgive thy

"Oh! Well, that works then." Lunet commented with a chuckle.

"I've seen some of the comments... or rather, heard them, that people leave for me online." She continued.

"A common one is that some of the navigation is clunky and needs to be streamlined. So that's a big part of why I'm doing this. The rest - like testing the upgrade first - are just nice little bonus changes that I though would be good."

"Well, your audience is going to love you for listening to them." Leo replied.

"And the testing thing will be amazing." he said further. "Seriously, I like how it's not abuseable, but JUST enough to see if it might be right for the build or not." he went on.

"Yeah, this should improve a LOT." he assured her.

"And I have a new laptop model for you to try." he continued, bringing it back to the tech.

"Basically an improvement over the last one, and want to see if we got it right this time." he chuckled.

Lunet was silent for a moment before nodding.

"Yeah, of course." She commented.

"Anything in specific to pay attention to?" She asked as she took the headset off and made sure that Leo had it back.

Once Leo accepted it, he handed her the laptop in question.

"The braille. Make sure it feels like it's there to stay." he told her.

"And check the text-to-speech program in it." he went on.

"Basically, let me know how the overall user experience is for you." he continued.

"I want to make sure it's as smooth and accommodating as possible for the one using it." he reasoned. "I don't want people to have to compromise or get used to something clunky." he went on.

"This is meant to be tailored to THEM, not the other way 'round."

Lunet nodded before powering it up, running her hands over the keys.

"I'll play around with it, not sure how well or indepth a review I can give you right now." She told him honestly.

"That's usually something that is done over time." She added.

"However, the buttons do feel much better."

"That's why I'm leaving it with you for a few months." Leo responded.

"Right now it's about initial reactions." he told her.

"Which is to say, if you notice anything substantial in 20 or 30 minutes, then I'll take it back and tool it some more immediately." he continued. "If not, try it for a few months and then I'll come back for a more in depth report." he explained.

"After the laptop, I have one other thing. But for now, just try the laptop for 20 minutes or so." he re-iterated.

"So." he then said.

"When do you think you want these updates to go live?" he asked her.

"That's completely fair." Lunet commented as she got comfy on the couch, the laptop on her lap.

"I can definitely do that." She continued.

"Initially? I like it. It's light, not as warm as the previous, and the buttons seem good." She finished with.

"... as for your question, I'm not sure." She admitted.

"Oh?" Leo asked, his voice curious.

"Yeah... I was hoping for the end of the summer, but I don't think I'm going to be done in time."

Leo raised an eyebrow.

"Firstly, thanks for the positive first impressions." he said.

"Secondly, why don't you think it'll be done in time?" he asked.

"Something holding you up?" he asked further.

"Anything I can possibly help with?" he then inquired.

"I'm more a hardware guy, obviously, but I can try."

"I'm blind." Lunet commented.

"So it's slow." She added before sighing.

"And trying to deal with a contract." She continued. "Possible studio wanting to buy it from me, but ... they're just... givingme a headache."

"..." Leo was silent for a moment, and then sighed.

"Contracts can be a real bear." he said.

"I... barely know anything about them, but I've been lucky so far." he told her.

He then bit his lip, and sighed quietly.

"But... but as for you being blind..." he then said.

"I... I might... have an idea in regards to that..."

Lunet was silent for a moment.

"... Do you want to give it a read over?" She asked.

"I'm not brilliant with them, but I'm smart enough to know when I'm being played." She continued. "and they're belittling me. Which yes, is fitting since I'm short and small, but not granting me ANY respect."

Leo paused, and then nodded to himself.

"Sure?" he said.

"I can take a look at it." he told her.

"...I can see about having a proper contract lawyer look at it, too." he went on.

"Not sure if I can swing that last one, admittedly." he then sighed.

"But I'LL look it through."

"You own a company, you know more about contracts than I do." Lunet commented before using the laptop she was testing for Leo to access her email. Once the file was downloaded and opened, she passed it over.

"Here. Give it a read yourself. I'm sure you'll see what I mean." She commented as he accepted the tech.

"And they won't listen to me for what I'm worried about, they're just brushing it off saying that I don't know what I'm talking about."
