arrows?? literal axes??? sure they could fit on their own, but these seem like they were insanely shoved together to even fit ]
" mmm.. AHA! why did I shove em right at the bottom huh?? "
[ she pulled some bandages out finally! ]
" ssoooooo this isn't gonna weird anyone out right?? "
[ she pointed to the clearly blown out side of her head ]
" just wanna know before I end up doin' that job thingy "
Just a year younger than him.. how unexpected.
Regardless he hands the I.D back and nods with a gentle smile.
"Well then, Cancer. Welcome to the Dawn Office. I hope you like tea we uh- have a lot in supply."
What is he a teamaker? Kinda actually-
My ID shows that I'm 23, though my nerves immediately make me feel like I'm six years old.
“ Yeah...that works for me. I just really need the money...and I'm a h-hard worker. I promise... ”
He silently seems to let her keep going, whether its based off of any nervousness, enjoyment or awkwardness..? Its kinda all three???
He doesnt know why the hell that is but he doesnt mind the oil taste either, theres been much worse things in his mouth afterall.
“ Sure. ”
Without asking, she reaches up and opens his mouth, leaning in really close.
Her fingers taste like oil.
“ Closed off. Tired, maybe a little...out of his element. But you've got a good future...if you don't FUCK it up... ”
She lifts his tongue up.
“ Yeah. ”
“ Not exactly. I could get a vague idea of who you are, like looking at a painting through cling wrap while drunk, but nothing more. ”
Her hammer gently taps his jaw.
“ I'd have to bust you wide open to get a real read. ”
"Ahh thats way more reasonable yeah."
It Is????
"Um Im curious then.. can you just examine my teeth without pulling any out? Just to find out stuff I mean."
.
“ Drink it...?! Ugh! No! That's gross! Jesus Christ, man! That's... ”
She shivers, growing paler.
“ I inject it into MY spine! ”
Like that's any better.
“ ...and what about teeth? The enemal contains memories. ”
+Philip considers it and nods to himself thoughtfully before speaking.
"Is if alright if for now I let you be a part-timer and we'll see if you can stay? I'd be able to send a reccomendation for you at some more investigation oriented offices, and associations too if you do."
"Well.. we are usually more known for conbat oriented thibgs if you're fine with that."
He takes a look at the ID to see if they're under 21.
"But you will be able to help in the investigation side of thibgs.. and we would like all the help we can get."
+
Money is money, I guess.
“ Thanks. ”
I look at him again, shaking like a leaf.
It's not the end of the world to ask, right...?
“ ...does...your agency need someone like m-me...? ”
Carefully, I pull out my ID. I made it myself.
“ I'm...a forensic photographer... ”
"Thats fine, we'll start tomorrow then. You can move your stuff to the back if you dont have a place to stay, just... dont mess with the decor too much okay?"
"Ah well.. I have a body if that counts?"
Whats a Xeraphim? Is that slang for Ahn- whatever. His expression seemed confused at first before he pays up with some momey that looks to be of notably foreign currency.
+
"We mostly do combat oriented johs, but dabble in peace keeping and case solving jobs so if you need anything done dont be afraid to call the number, or email us, or come straight to the adrress."
"Oh I work at a fixer office called the dawn office, as the representative"
He explained like those terms are obvious.
"..Mostly because the other two former members aren't around anymore after an incident at an Urban Plague known as the library."
+
“ Office, huh-? ”
I let my camera rest against my chest, hanging from my lanyard.
“ What...do you do-? ”
Please don't be sugar. I've had enough of ants.
“ If you don't...mind me asking...? ”
"Ah thats good then. You seemed a little nervous is all, I can get the feeling."
He formed a small smile to make things less awkward before shifting his glasses and continuing.
"I just need these for something at the office. Its not a big deal."
He looks like a washed up CEO. It makes my palm itch.
Aristocrat. Morgellons, maybe...I should sanitize after this.
But he seems nice. Probably wants to-
No. That's dumb.
He's paying me. Why would he...-?
" oh- oh right- "
[ she pouts as she thinks about the offer.. ]
" ..eeeh I mean I dunno anywhere else in this place so do I really have a choice? gives me somethin' to do i guess "
