Since he agreed to it, he can't back out now.

I hired a Serbian chauffeur so I could make him do this

I was curious if you've ever considered taking on an apprentice. I understand that you are the solitary type, but is it something you've ever thought about? If so, what sort of criteria would someone have to meet?

….

What do y’all think Ghoul is doing here exactly?

Six sentence Sunday for Hired help

"Your brother -"

Sesshomaru sighed and silently counted to ten. Any time anyone came to him and said those two words in that tone, he knew Inuyasha had been up to something.

Today's tattle teller was his own wife.

"I am in my 30s and am too old to deal with this shit, Kagura. He is an adult -"

"Yes he is, and I'm pretty sure he's getting blown under his desk as we speak."

Ugh. That wasn't something he ever wanted to know. "What do you want me to do?" He looked at her, exasperated. "You want me to swat him with a newspaper? Get a spray bottle?"

"No, I want you to get a deeper desk, because yours is too cramped," she huffed, crossing her arms.

Pick your six sentence Sunday

*New Notice: You have found Secret Note #26!*

*New Notice: You have unlocked backstory!*

___________________________

“Hey, can I borrow you for a minute?”

Veruka blinked up from her chair at the visitor, a tall succubus smiling down on her. 

“Congratulations, Veruka. Corporate has taken notice of your upcoming promotion. Only 13 more souls until you hit the big 75,000.. that’s an impressive feat. There aren’t many demons that claim that accomplishment.”

The figure gives a gesture that to Veruka obviously means ‘come hither’, and soon the pair are walking among rows of cubicles. 

“We always welcome Succubi of your caliber into our ranks, and given your current position, we would like to offer you a special mission to mark the end of your lower level status.”

Veruka’s ears perked. “Oh? A special mission? I wasn’t aware that Arbor offered  anything like that.” 

The two reached a room that Veruka recognized as the figure’s office, and she followed the them inside. No sooner when the door shut did the tall succubus stop in their tracks.  

“Miss Ozen?”

“Just a minute.” Wasting no time, Ozen reached over to their desk and rummaged through what seemed like dozens upon dozens of files. Veruka took the time to look over the office, rocking on her feet as she did so. The demons on this floor were well acquainted with Ozen: she had a reputation as one of the higher-ups of corporate with consistently high numbers, and was well known for cutt-throat tactics when dealing with her subordinates. Also she was Veruka’s boss, so there was that. Veruka smiled to herself, watching as Ozen found the file she was looking for. She liked to think that they got along well.

The manager came back up to Veruka’s side. As she spoke, Ozen opened the file and thumbed through pages of files and pictures. “We’ve noticed large amounts of stress on our radar radiating from this small mountain village: ‘Pelican Town’.” Ozen turned to page that featured visions of lush landscapes: mountains, caves, thick forests... even an ocean?! Veruka was transfixed.

“It’s our understanding that Pelican town is a discreet village, with a population of only a couple dozen. Additionally, any large neighboring cities are out of the way by at least 2 hours. It’s perfect for a promotional mission like yours. Do you understand what I’m saying?” Without waiting for a response, Ozen closed the file and lifted it up so that it covered her mouth. Veruka was speechless.

“Of course, you may decline this offer without punishment and go about things your own way, but we at corporate wanted to extend this offer to you. Like I said, it’s not often that a succubus as... passionate about her job comes into our ranks.”

Ozen paused. “Unlike a normal mission, there would be little supervision, no time limits. Just a single high ranking official that you would check in with once in a while. It would be your last mission as a lower-ranking demon; you have our permission to run things however you want. Do you accept?”

Veruka looks at the file, a thoughtful look on her face. She never would have expected such an offer from corporate. This was such a precious opportunity, could she even decline?

The look of deep thought dissipated from Veruka’s face, replaced by a resolute expression. Veruka met Ozen’s gaze and smirked, cocking her head.

“Isn’t my answer obvious? When do I start?”
