word game: reward

[museaway]

This week's word is...
REWARD

How to play: Find the word in any WIP and comment with the sentence containing it. Just the one, ideally! The less context, the more hilarious & interesting it can be.

Rules:
- All fandoms, all ships, all writers welcome
- Give a head's up for disturbing/distressing content
- If you share a sentence, please read some left by other writers and drop at least one person a comment. (If you leave the first comment, thanks for starting us off, and please pop back around later!)

A note about interacting: Writers supporting each other is important to me. If you object to leaving comments for another writer, then we are not for you. If you repeatedly ignore this rule, you will lose community membership.

Thank you! It is a rather "...eh? What's going on?" sentence, isn't it? The "speaking" character is also confused and doesn't know what to make of an earlier part in that WIP, so conclusions are being made.

The context is this: you as the reader have the power of controlling the story of a character you're about to read (choose your own adventure style), and you also get to reward or punish the character for how they do within the story. This sentence comes from a tutorial of sorts where you - the reader - are presented with a scenario where the character fails a task and you're supposed to punish or reward him. The obvious choice is to punish him, but if the you are cheeky and choose the "reward" option, the tutorial-giver is a little bit confused but doesn't want to discourage, so it praises you anyway c:
