This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I think Anon is selling himself short. Basically, the coworker who gave the lighter would have thought, ”Man, Anon might appreciate this lighter” and kept it around until he had a chance to give it to Anon. At least that’s what I think. Anon is definitely not an NPC.

Just think, maybe all the "Collect X for Y" npcs in games had hopes, goals and dreams as well! Did you even ask them?

No such dialogue option popped up.

"Why don't you ever ask me how my day was?", my wife asked angrily.

No such dialogue option popped up.

I'll see myself out.

It always makes me kind of sad when people compare themselves to an NPC. NPCs are literally based on real people? You're ashamed for being real? Lol

It depends what Anon does for the player. NPCs are grubby little shits, always wanting something, but always eventually paying out. If Anon is a virgin, then the price might have already been paid.
