"Think it will compile this time?" Cellivar asked with a curious expression. His voice was directed to Kobaj, but his eyes were transfixed on the screen in front of him. Text blurred past at a dizzying rate, making it very difficult to discern if this latest attempt would succeed or not.

"If not, you know what that means." Kobaj replied with a bit of a smirk. In his paws he held up a pair of thigh-high striped socks. The game the two of them were playing was almost like reverse strip poker. Every time their program failed, they had to add more to their cute outfits.

ERROR: C3487 'return type': all return expressions must deduce to the same type.

The monitor spit out after a minute. Another failure to compile.

Kobaj laughed softly and Cellivar blushed. The two critters slipped the socks over their feetpaws and up their legs then resumed typing on the keyboards in front of them. After all, they wanted to become the best programmers possible and so they had to look the part, right?
