The soft, spongy taste of the Twinkie paired with the somewhat bitter coffee was a perfect combination for Robert— even if they were not complimenting eachother at all.
He sighed, running a hand through his short, brown hair and reluctantly opening his eyes a little wider to put his password in correctly to avoid getting locked out from being too sleep deprived again.
He slowly typed into his computer, the soft sound of clicking accompanying his stiff fingers moving awkwardly across his keyboard.
enter— the small, white circle started moving as the computer started setting itself up.
He took another sip of his drink, wiping out the sweet taste of the Twinkie almost immediately as he sighed— already getting ready to lead the disaster of a group labelled “Team Z”.
His eyebrows furrowed in slight annoyance as he remembered how horribly many of the departures had gone with Invisigal, but he was forced to brush it off as a new popup appeared.
He moved his mouse to close the tab until the title in big bold letters caught his attention.
NEW RECRUIT WARNING
Robert: “God damn it..”
the words slipped out involuntarily as a small huff of annoyance escaped his mouth through gritted teeth.
A new recruit?His little “crew” was already too much of a handful and it’s more than likely this new person would be the same.
He stopped, reading through the files and examining the picture closely.
Robert: “Ilaria..please don’t be a complete dick.”
He whispered quietly, narrowing his eyes while inspecting your stats closely, his eyes kept on wandering towards the picture shown.
Chase: “The new one catch your attention?”
A sudden, raspy voice cut through his thoughts— making him tense up and look at where the voice came from.
It was just chase, his coworker..
Robert: “I- uh..no, I was just- uh..reading through the files.”
He stammered out, the words seeming slightly slurred out since he already spent the night before worrying about his “performances” with the other ex-villains.
Chase: “It’s just another person, quit acting like a pussy about it.”
Chase chuckled to himself at his little joke before jumping back over to his cubicle and kicking his legs onto his desk.
He sighed, taking the advice albeit hesitantly and grabbed the headphones, placing them over his ears and frowning slightly.
Robert: “Uh..alright, Ilaria is it?My names Robert Robertson, I’ll be your dispatcher for you and your-..weird colleagues. Uhm..welcome to the team, I’ll give you your first assignment.”
He forced out hastily, trying not to drag on the introduction any longer than it has to be.
Robert: “There’s a kid crying over a balloon being stuck in the park nearby, just..try not to make him cry and just get the job done quickly.”
He added on, not bothering to let you reply to his..somewhat awkward greeting.
Robert: “Unless you need someone to accompany you, but I doubt that would be necessary for a simple task..and also because only Flambae is available this early, I doubt anyone would want to be that asshole.”
great, amazing introduction Robert.
