The Offices of Furry-Within.com

[Nester Delgado]

The tall fox took another long drag of his coffee as the elevator chimed, announcing he had arrived to the offices of Furry-Within.com.
It wasn't a large office. It didn't take much to run the website with an overseas office doing much of the programing work. Here, it was mostly the logistics, maintenance and design work with a few other staffers to cover everything else. At this time of day, there weren't too many employees about. Most of them would arrive later and many were capable of working at home so there were always empty desks here and there among the dozen or on the floor. Grouped together in twos and threes by department.
They had taken down the cubicle walls the year before to make the office a bit more open, and to better monitor the employees. Most of the wood topped metal desks had computers on them, usually surrounded by the corresponding employees various things. In front of the elevator was the largest desk among them belonging to the secretary who hadn't yet arrived it seemed.
Flicking a nearby switch, a warm glow of florescence filled the space with light. Marking the all too familiar path for the fox to move across the work floor towards his small office in the back. Passing the desks of his small marketing team, he wondered when they'd get filled. If the two remained open much longer, he might be able to bring his son on board.
As he reached the wood framed door to his office, Nester smiled a bit at the sight of his name still there upon it. "Nester Delgado," "Marketing Manager," underneath. Gazing across the office, he looked to see if the other managers were in yet. By the looks of things, the lights inside each identical were off. The door to the two meeting rooms were left open...again, and only the faint sounds of humming servers and computers could be heard. Something about that made him wonder why they'd given him a server room key along with his keys to the kitchen, the washroom and the 'executive washroom.'
Inside his own office, he flipped on the lights and took off his suit jacket to hang upon the coat rack near the door. Leaving it open so he'd hear the other staffers come in. Adjusting his blue tie and black vest a bit, the fox made his way to his desk. He'd worn the black suit with the gold buttons today which often meant he was in a particularly good mood. A button beneath his monitor would turn it on to display the website. He'd spend the next hour or so making sure things were running smoothly, but more importantly to see the websites traffic from the previous evening.

(OoC: This is open to all. There are no nights and days, just one long continuous work cycle. Everyone is free to work where ever, so long as there's no overlap. Once a job is first posted, that job belongs to that fur until they leave, i.e. if someone is already the secretary, you can always put in an application . Also, if you choose to join, but later decide to leave, please mention this with your character simply going home for the day or something. Let's see how long we can keep this going. Have fun!)

*the sloth had relented outside of the building for a bit. Looking up at the sky as he exhales, a wispy trail of smoke leaving his lips as he flicks the filter of the cancer stick in his hand. He wasn't delaying, its just Cigarettes cost so much. And he lit this one a bit later then he should. He could have put it out, stuffed it back in the pack, and waited till later. But he was already smoking, so why not finish. He finally got the cherry down to within an inch of the filter. He had kept himself from smoking farther then that, to help him quit this stuff all together. He flicks the cherry off of the end of the roll of paper. It flies off into the street and glows for a bit before burning out. Heading upstairs, he took the elevator. Just a few floors up. He closed his eyes and leaned his head back against the wall of the elevator. Letting out a soft sigh* "Its too eaaarly..." *with almost a child like tone to his voice.

Getting to the office he makes his way past most of the computer filled tables. The sky still a faint orange outside as the sun rose. He noticed the light on in one of the other manager's offices. He gave a knock, opened the door abruptly and stuck his head in* "Mornin." *he closed the door shortly after that. Sometimes the fox would jump at the sudden greeting. Other times he would just nod and smile. He was tempted to buy a mask or something for Halloween this year and try bursting into his office in the early morning. After the greeting that had become a ritual over the past few months. He made his way to his office a few doors down. Looking at the name "Fen - Lead Bipedal Resource Manager." *He had been told that it was too risque with the fact that a tuar could sue them for discrimination. He had answered* "Its describing me. I'm the lead resource manager with two feet. Its just using a different phrase to describe that." *he would take a seat in his office, and read the list of issues and reports that people would send him. He would read them, reaching over and turning on a radio. Keeping it soft for the room at the moment*

The white vixen had followed the sloth into the Furry-Within.com office building as she had just come from her car. She wore a black knee length pencil skirt and a white long sleeve blouse that held a V-shaped collar, just to show off a little bit of her neck and chest, while her long white hair flowed down her back. Before she took her spot at the Secretary desk, she had to make way to the kitchen to drop her lunch and dinner off, as she knew it was going to be a very long day. Seeing the sloth then poking his head into the marketing managers office, she patted her back when he withdrew it. "Good morning, Mr. Fen. If you keep smoking those cancer sticks, I am afraid you may be in the hospital more so than our dear office..." She spoke in a sweet, yet exotic, tone of voice as she smiled to him, before opening the door to look at Nester. "Good morning to you as well, Mr. Nester. Hope your night was relaxing away from the office." The smile stayed strong as she closed the door before making way to the kitchen to put her food away. Once finished, she made a cup of coffee for herself and made way back to her desk with her name plate upon it "Soira Kobett", ready to take phone calls and messages for her fellow employees as she placed her glasses upon her face, fixing her desk up to make it just perfect.

[Mikkaddo]

In the server room the tall wolf ran a hand through his hair, this was not good. He'd run through the code again and again . . . this had to be a mistake. Then, somewhere deep in the blur as he kept working over the hours, ignoring the windows and the change of scenery outside them he found it. He reached that single perfect moment. "Got you bastard . . ." he said pointing with a finger at the screen as he held up the large can and laughed putting it down and typing like mad. The site had been hacked not too long ago, members that had been permanently banned had made their own little group and were trying to cause trouble on the forum side. And now he'd gotten to the source of it, and was getting rid of it. After he was done he gave himself a few claps, throwing out the empty can and stood.

He stretched a bit and grabbed his shirt from the nearby table, fastening it hastily and cursing as he discovered that he had once again lost his tie. Some day, far into the future he figured a singularity would open up and a flood of his ties would drown all the people of the world . . . or at the very least some unfortunate janitor would run into a pile of them somewhere. For now he ignored it, he could look for it tomorrow. But that's when he noticed the lights, as he put on his very professional looking business coat. At least his girlfriend had thought it looked professional. He thought it looked blue. Oh well, mars, venus all that. He moved out of the room the reality of the lights coming to him finally. He would look for his tie later today, as it was tomorrow already. The slot and fox were coming in as he exited the server closet, wiping sweat from his brow as he did so. He wiped his hands clean on a wrag as he moved toward the kitchen.

He'd meant to say hi to Soira, but as usual ended up just staying quiet, figures. IT senior tech and department manager and he can't talk to a pretty girl. There's a cliche in there somewhere. Instead he just put the wrag away in the kitchen and got himself a nice glass of ice water. He stunk, he knew it . . . but maybe the boss would let him leave to get a shower . . . or maybe the secretary would go with him to take a shower. No  . . . stop, you're at work man come on . . . one girl already left you, no reason to start on that road so quick again. Instead he moved past her desk, nodding to her and knocked on the boss' door. "Mr. Delgado sir, it's Mikkaddo, I have the report about the issue we had recently about the site." He was hoping deep down that he stunk enough for the boss to let him leave for that shower . . . maybe if he smelled bad enough from being in that server room so long he'd get that time, who knows? he might even get a raise since he for once did it in a single go.

[Nester Delgado]

The hair on the back of Nester's neck flipped up as he was so suddenly surprised by the sloth. "Every....morning...." He thought to himself as he forced out a friendly smile and gave a friendly, though dismissive flick of his hand towards his fellow manager. He and Fen had a well enough working relationship and Nester knew these little early morning surprises were just Fen's way of being nice. In truth, if Fen missed a day, Nester would find himself feeling off the rest of the day without it.  Shaking his head a bit, he would grin as he watched the sloth back right into Soira.
"Good morning Soira. Thank you, Soira." Soira seemed like a great secretary, from what Nester saw anyway. She really knew how to keep things running and in line and as you can expect, had a great relationship with the staff. Some of the guys had even tried to go out with her from time to time. Nester didn't know firsthand if she'd been involved in any mailroom romances, but if anyone was getting used for sex, it'd be the men. Women? He perked an eyebrow at the sudden thought going through his mind before clearing it away to focus on his monitor again.
"Hey Mikk," he said with his attention on his work. Breaking away quickly from his screen mid-sentence to reply, "Which one? You mean the one about those damn Ragnorok Online trolls?" His eyes suddenly screwed up tight as he looked Mikk over for the first time that day. "Did you sleep here again? You smell awful." He asked sounding concerned more than anything for his coworker. "Don't you ever wear a tie? I don't think I've ever seen you wearing one."
Sitting up in his chair, he placed a firm hand upon his desk and sat back a little as he looked Mikk over a bit more as he shifted his attention fully to the technician. The two often worked closely together to ensure that things were running smoothly in order to keep everyone happy. When the website worked well, they'd get more registers. When it ran poorly, they ended up with less and less log-ins and it would be a while before the numbers would go back up.
"Maybe you should clean yourself up in the bathroom or something. If you need a new tie, I think I have one around here somewhere." Getting up, Nester walked over to a tall filling cabinet. It looked like it was made of wood from the outside, but inside was black metal. It was very similar in style to his broad desk. A cherry finished pine that had cost him quite a bit, but he was very proud of it. Sorting through the drawer, he scavenged through a few loose items before finding a bright green tie.
"Here, you can keep this one. Seriously though, clean yourself up a bit. I know you've been working really hard and that's why you...well, stink, but you should still look professional around the others. Besides, I'm not sure who's coming in today. We might have a new intern starting soon and I know for a fact she's pretty cute." The fox smirked a bit at the wolf as he handed him the tie, walking around his desk a bit to do so. "Now, what was that you mentioned about a report?"

[Mikkaddo]

He nodded putting a packet down on the desk. He'd worked on it all night along with the rest of what he'd done in that clogged server room all night and had worked hard to make it make sense. "It's mostly tech speak but basically, I found the door they were using, tore it out, and put a wall there. Oh, and I reported their IP Addresses and more importantly individual machine Mac Addresses to the local police, they shouldn't be getting to us again any time soon sir." He was very proud of his work. "Ah, thanks for the tie, I do own one . . . I have owned several . . . but they keep vanishing in the office." He laughed awkwardly, "honestly I would bet that there's a confused janitor that keeps finding ties around here each night somewhere." He put a hand through his long black hair. "And uh sir, I don't live that far away . . . so if you don't mind I'd like to take an hour or so to go home, take a shower, and come back. Especially if we've got a new intern . . . do you know what department she's going to? I'd hate to try and train someone when I smell like the back end of a burnt harddrive." He laughed softly, IT humor . . . usually he seemed to be the only one that got it, or at least thought it was funny.

[Drizelda]

She smiled as she seen Mikkaddo walk from the kitchen to Mr. Nester's room as she gave a gentle wave to him, while also vocalizing. "Good morning to you as well, Mr. Mikkaddo. I'm sorry I didn't say anything to you when we passed each other earlier." She continued to smile as the phone rang and she answered it. "I'm sorry... it seems he isn't in yet, but if you leave your name and number I'll make sure he calls you when he comes in today." She murred out to the caller as she wrote the details down. "Thank you. You too as well, ma'am." She hung up, writing the last bit of the note only to stand up and walk to the office space of the employee that wasn't there yet, leaving the note in plain sight. Sighing, she walked back to Mr. Nester's door, knocking. "Pardon me, Mr. Nester. I was curious if you needed anymore coffee before you started another big day." She looked to Mikkaddo and smiled. "I didn't mean to intrude if I did, I'm sorry." She bowed her head in an apologetic way to them both. "Just want to make sure everyone is settled in for a long work day." Her nose twitched to the smell that was emanating off the wolf, but she didn't mind it. "How about you, Mr. Mikkaddo? Would you like a cup before you go to get a shower?" She murred out, her thick white fluffy tail swaying behind her. She heard all that happened in the office, especially if there were only the four of them there at the moment.

[Nester Delgado]

"Walls, doors, right, got it. Good work," Nester said with a practiced expression of pride in his face. Patting the wolf's shoulder with a warm friendly smile. Truthfully he had no idea what the wolf was talking about. "Mac Addresses? What about the PC Addresses? Did he get those too?"  Whatever he meant, it was clear Mikk was doing his job well and would make Nester's job all the easier as part of it.

As he listened to the wolf talk about his missing ties, he set the green one down upon his desk, placing his palm upon it and shifting back a bit to half-sit upon the wooden surface. Nodding and smiling, even chuckling a bit at the joke about the ties all being in the same place.

"Alright, alright. I know what you mean," he said, not really getting the joke. "Go on, but be quick. Try to make it back within the hour if you can. I honestly don't know where the intern is going. From the looks of it, we may have more than one position open right now." His right hand would bounce a bit with his words as he spoke. Pointing to various places in the office as he mentioned the other openings before smiling at Soira peeking in through the open door.

"No, you're not intruding. Sure, I'll take a decaf. You know how I can't have too much caffeine in my system." His smiled brightened at her as he spoke. His own tail swaying a little behind him a little against the desk. It was true he couldn't drink too much caffeine. Likely he'd be hyper for an hour and then pass out, but it was always nice to see Soira taking care of everyone. 

[Fen]

*he was left with a smile on his face after Soria greeted him. He left his office after checking his office emails. He then went to the suggestion box he had hung up on the outside of his door. Picking up the papers and looking through them. Nothing of importance except a few people wanting a longer break for lunch. He figured an hour is more then enough, and knew that a few other companies nearby had only thirty minuets for lunch. He also wasn't a stickler for when people were late by just a few minuets either. He set the notes on his desk and left the office to take a walk around the office, and to head to the soda machine in the break room. He didn't enjoy coffee but needed the caffeine to wake up the rest of the way. He would pass by Mikk on his way out, remembering the email he had been sent about the site attack* "Hey Mikk. Good job on keeping the site up during the attack." *he was tempted to tell him about looking into a raise for him, he was due for one soon. Though he was also aware that money was tight these days within the office. He puts a few coins into the machine and gets his drink. He looked to the coffee machine and shook his head, someone had left the old pot filled from the last shift. It had been on too, and a brown stain had formed at the bottom. He moved over to it, taking it off the hotplate and bringing it to the sink. He opened the cabinet to look for some soap. He looked to the fake mouse someone had set near the extra creamer. It had been there a while, and everyone got a short chuckle when someone opened the door and jumped. Sometimes more then once* "Nester letting you go home for a bit?" *he asked as he began to wash the pot out*

[Mikkaddo]

Mikkaddo smiled to Nester and said. "Thank you sir, I'll be back before you know it." As he was leaving he nodded to Soira. "Good morning Soira." He was able to do say it to her because he was more focused on getting a shower and getting back in time. He didn't even notice the sloth talking about coffee. He got down to the parking lot though, and got into his car. Everything seemed fine but he suddenly felt blind, that's when he realized what was wrong, the pavement was white and the sun was extra bright today because of the lack of cloud cover. He felt around in his glove box and found his sunglasses. At last, he could see. He drove off quickly, not enough to break any laws that he knew of, but he had to get home and shower. When he got home he pushed open the door, the lights still off. That was good since he lived alone. He made quick work of taking a shower and then came back out, rushing to work again with a six pack of energy drinks from his fridge in tow.

At the parking lot, he kept the sunglasses on when he got out of his car, this time able to see because of the glasses. When he got up to the office he waved to whoever was around in the main room and went down to his office, putting away the energy drinks in his mini fridge. He fired up his computer and checked the site real quick first, the traffic looked good and the numbers were going back up. "Ha . . . no more trolling Ragnarok . . . take your goatse somewhere else." He chuckled and started checking his email, a few spam mails in his company account but these things happened so he marked them and moved on.

[Celzic]

"Murrh.. oh god that's good.." The Tiger purred as he drove towards work in his Mitsubishi Lancer, he had the window rolled down which caused the breeze of warm wind to spill inside his car and made his long hair struggle to keep in place from the force of the invisible force, seeing bright yellow arches in the form of an 'M' glinting in the sunlight, "...Maybe I should have some breakfast.. fuck yeah.. I need some breakfast.." He started to speed up, worried if he didn't get to the Drive thru in time, someone else would get in front of him, and that would be terrible! The tiger was pushing 70 in a 50 zone, his paw quickly flicking out to turn on his CD player, the speakers errupting with music, '..No place to hang out our washing, and I can't blame all on the sun, oh no~ We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue~ And then we'll take it higher!' "Aww yeah..! We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue~"

Celzic purred to himself as he pulls into the drive thru after flooring it through a red light to get to the Golden Arches in time, swerving in front of someone. In front of the queue he moves up to the ordering box, abruptly cutting off the Drive Thru Operator, "Yeah yeah.. I want a Bacon and Egg McMuffin with some Orange Juice and some pancakes.. make sure there's shitloads of syrup packs, too.. last time I didn't get enough and my pancakes were dry as hell!" He growled quietly to emphasize on how much dry pancakes pissed him off..

'...Okayy.. that'll be $8, pull up to the window.' He smiles softly, "Thank you.." He turned up his music again as he coasted over to the window, cars behind him tooting as he didn't go fast enough for him, he grabs his wallet from the glove compartment and pulls out a $10 note, touching on the brakes as he comes to the window, presenting the money to the operator, they trade. He opens up the bag to inspect the contents.. "Aww come on.. gimme MORE syrup!" He shot out his paw again, the Operator rolling her eyes as she throws five more of those packs at him, he flinches, "...Thanks, jeez.. didn't have to be a sour puss about it.." He packs them away and smiles at the Ragamuffin (Cat) who flips him off. He drives onwards to work, the song on his CD player changing to Push The Tempo from Fatboy Slim, "Aww yeah..!" He turns it up, the modified seats in the back pulsing with the bass, the seats themselves were speakers with fiberglass fixed over it from his last paycheck.

The tiger was only a few hundred yards from his usual parking space around the back of the building. "Wha--- Aww! Great..!" He huffs as he sees he had a challenge already! He had to parallel park.. "..Challenge accepted." going Pokerface, the tiger slowly starts to manouevre around his parking space before backing up, checking his wing mirrors to get the right distance between the cars, he smiles as he jams on the parking brake and cuts the ignition, "Ahh~ Good.." He grabs his breakfast and takes off his seatbelt, pushing open the door, the tiger slips out with his breakfast, "Hope the boss man doesn't mind I'm a smidgen late.." He gives the door a nudge with his foot behind him to shut it, using his clicker to lock the doors, he made his way up to the building.

Knowing he couldn't manage the stairs, Celzic took the elevator up to the correct floor, "Hm.. wonder if they dealt with that problem.." He nibbles his claw nervously as the doors of the elevator open. The tiger sauntered on out, wearing his 'casual' uniform of black pants and a crisp white shirt, he starts to head for Fen's office, giving the window a tap with a claw before entering, "Heyy.. sorry I'm a smidgen late.." The clock read otherwise, he was thirty three minutes late, he ran a hand through his hair nervously, "Traffic.. it was murder.." Hiding the paper bag of goodies behind him, he grins softly, "So, what shall I be doing today, hmm?" His tail sways behind him slowly as he looked upon the Sloth for his instructions.

[Drizelda]

Soira smiled to Nester as she walked into the room to retrieve his coffee cup from earlier. "I'll be right back then, Sir." She murred happily out to the male as she turned around to walk out of the office, her hips and tail swaying about. Just as she left, she noticed Celzic quickly making way to Fens' office. "I'll tell him good morning when I see him. I hope he seen the call back note on his desk." Soira thought to herself as she made way to the kitchen to make Nester his coffee just the way he liked it. Smiling to herself, she held the cup in her paws as she walked by the tigers office space. "G'morning, Mr. Celzic. I hope you weren't too late this morning. I left you a number to call back. She seemed eager and wished you were in before she called. A new love interest?" She teased at the male as she patted his back with a small giggle. "Pardon me, I must be getting Mr. Nesters' coffee back to him. Have a nice day of work." She prayed for him before moving back to Nesters' office.

"One decaf coffee for Mr. Nester." She murred out as she leaned down just that tad bit to him, allowing him just the teasing view to her v-necked clothed bosom, only just a brief tease as she stood back up straight. "Enjoy, Sir." She smiled as she turned to walk out, making her way back to her desk, the phone ringing. "Good morning, Soira of Furry-Within.com, how can I help you?... mmhmm.. mhmmm.. oh? That's wonderful. I'll let Mr. Nester know you're on your way then." She hung up the phone as she was so glad she hadn't sat back down. Making way back to Nesters' office, she knocked. "Sir, the people for our new copier will be here within the next hour or two. Would you like for me to sent them your way, or would you like for me to take care of it personally?" She asked him at the door, her tail swaying playfully behind her.

[Bellatrix]

Noob. New kid. Child. Fresh meat. All words that ran through Shiishii's mind. Yes, she was seventeen, her birthday was in two days and she was just starting her new job today. Was she too young for it? Of course, but she graduated early, a year early to be exact. She went straight to college afterwards, having finished at least one year, she would make a good assistant at least. People scoffed as she walked by. Her cheeks pink, sweat running down her cheek. She was very nervous. She had not forgotten where she was going with a photographic memory of the floor plans, how could she.

Her blue hair, the only thing rebellious about her, pinned back into a bun, held with two dull rods. She was wearing a suitable, a black button down shirt with a white under shirt, and long black pants. She looked smart, which also meant bland. She did not want to give off the wrong vibe, she wanted to be serious but maybe it was a bad idea. Shew as second guessing. No. She was not going to walk away from this opportunity. She never did. She wiped the sweat from under her bangs. She memorized everything from the handbooks she had learned in her computer classes. She remembered...everything. She didnt look like any of the office people, she looked less casual even though her job would be considered a very casual one.

She shifted the glasses over her eyes and pushed them a bit closer to her face as she reached the office she was supposed to go to. She would reach the IT office. She looked around seeing that she must have been early, lest she was the only hire. She blinked and looked to a separate door. She would clear her throat and walk toward it. She gave it a light knock. "M-Mister Mikkado?" She would say and wait for an answer. Poor girl was as nervous as ever.

[Mikkaddo]

Mikkaddo was typing like mad at his computer not even looking up when the door was knocked on, it creaked open slowly showing the wolf madly at work, a green tie on his desk and a mini fridge on the ground near it. He seemed to reach an end point in whatever he was doing and looked up, running a hand through his hair and let out a long silent breath when he saw her. He almost spoke then bit his lip to say it only in his mind. "I knew they were getting me someone else to help out but DAMN . . ." He pushed the tray his keyboard was on in under the top layer of the desk, and turned off his monitor. "Good morning, you must the assistant they told me was coming to work here." he stood smiling and came around his desk to shake her hand. "And your name would be . . .?" The problem was they had told him he'd have help, but they never mentioned who this person would be or for that matter that they'd look like her.

[Bellatrix]

She would look through the creeked door. She blinked a few times before stepping in to meet him. She would blink a couple times before walking through. She seemed to be standing there for ever, or at least it seemed for a teenager. She cleared her throat some and it was then when she was noticed. She would look to him and put on a simple smile. "I, uh." She shook her head, assistant? Thats not what she applied for was it.. No. She shook her head no again and gave a soft chuckle. "No, I am not an assistant..I am supposed to work here. In the IT office.. I read all the manuals. Memorized all the floor plans.. I work here, with the computers." She would almost look confused, but still pleased to be here.

"Where do I sit.." She would ask looking around the room where it seemed to be just him. She completely forgot about his hand hanging there. Child ADD, had to be. She then looked back to him and looked at his hand and shook it. She gave a nervous chuckle and looked to him again for his answer. "Oh, Shiishii" She would say. "That is my name.." Where did she sit..
