"An ad pops up on my screen, right above the blackened out camera field."

"MEGA Corp's General Sale is coming soon, reportedly."

"I wonder if Jay wants to hear that now."

"Luckily, it's only my side that has to suffer through it, right?"

"Jay stops talking to the robot like he was a maniac for a while."

"But I hear some sighs."

"Nothing of use here."

"Not until this animal wakes up."

"I close the window."

"As I do, a popup asks me if I want to buy an upgrade package for my dog to sl33p less."

"Mine, or to be more precise, his."

"I'd love to, but I don't have more money to waste on this endeavor."

"My patience will have to make do."

"I click 'no' on the popup, which reacts with a sad emoticon."

"Sorry, Mr. Corporation, you won't have my money today."
