"[i][b]Myaa-huughgaglrlhlrlglrlhgrl!?[/b][/i]"

Such was the noise a panicking satyr made when it was approached from behind, firmly grasped in the paws of a predator and then forced to choke a concoction if unknown origihn. Brandy's arms flailed wildly and her hooved legs tried to kick at anything nearby, which didn't amount to anything, since you can't kick backwards. Still, as soon as she'd been forced to chug the strangely sweet-tasting swill, and let down, the horned goat-girl let out a series of quick breaths, before looking over at the culprit.

"Hey! Don't just go groping people form behind and making 'em drink your [sub][sub][i]admittedly tasty[/i][/sub][/sub] weird liquids!" The girl protested, before looking down at her finger, which was now no longer bleeding or suffering from a cut.

The stayress' tail went upright and stiff, and her mouth went agape with shock and surprised. Bending her hand at multiple angles and spreading her figners to make sure it wasn't an illusion or trick of (the lack of) light, her eyes went wide as saucers and sparkled with childlike wonder.

"Oh. My. Udders. This is totes incredible! I was like, totally bleeding all over the place, but now my finger's as smooth and flawless as the winky of newborn baby-boy." She exlaimed, excitedly, while laughing happily.

Meanwhile, the receptionist was busying herself with having moved all of the sensitive papers from her bloodstained esk to a more secure location, namely her own chair. When the werewolf approached and spoke, offering a means to wash the red lifejuice out of her clothes, as well as other assistance, the tanuki let out a slight sigh. She readjusted her specatcles and gave Alice a small smile.

[color=00a99d]"Thank you, Miss Keller, but it'll be fine. I've got spare suits at home, and no vital documents were damage."[/color] She said, before shooting the satyress, who was busy admiring her own, undamaged fingers, a rather disapporving glance. [color=00a99d]"However, I'd like [b][i]you[/i][/b], Miss Vanillarin, to try and excersise more caution in the future."[/color] At the mention of her name, the satyr briefly ceased amiring her own digits and turned to look at the tanuki with a quizzical expression.
"But you told me to get my blood on that paper-thingy."
[color=00a99d]"... Yes, by [i]pricking[/i] your finger! Not [b]slicing[/b] it!"[/color]
"Well how [i]I[/i] would know what you mean? I don't even get half the stuff you say, granny."
[color=00a99d]"G-G-G-G-Gra-!?"[/color] The poor office lady-tanuki's voice caught in her throat as she tried to reiterate the word just used to describe her. However, she seemed to be failing.
"Anyway! Potion-gir-ppffffffffftttttt...! Maa-haa-haa-haa-haa-haa~!" Apparently, the satyr had been too preoccupied with herself to notice until now, but the sensation of being contineously brushed, and tickled, by a bristly-furred tail finally managed to make itself known... And it had the expected effect - causing the young satyr to laugh uncontrollably as her eyes watered.

Meanwhile, the receptionist was standing silent and with a face pale as a ghost and eyes that'd shrunk from shock, muttering something inaudible under her breath. It was, at this time, that the door behind the reception desk creaked open, and a voice from beyond the murky, now open, doorway spoke in a dry, deadpan manner.

[color=fdc68a]"Good grief, it sure is noisy out here today."[/color] Although it was monotone and void of any emotion, the voice still sounded as if belonged to a plenty young girl. At the sound of said voice, the tanuki somehow regained their senses and spun around, letting out a gasp.
[color=00a99d]"L-Lady Hall Mistress! I'm terribly sorry, there was a bit of an accident an-"[/color]
[color=fdc68a]"Yes... So I heard... Some moron tried to mutilate themselves with your letter opener in order to sign their application form, that about sum it up?"[/color]
[color=00a99d]"W- No! Well, yes. But!"[/color]
[color=fdc68a]"It's fine, Karin. You can leave the rest to me. Just, go home and get changed... You look like you tried to eat a tomato and used your suit as a bib."[/color]
[color=00a99d]"Ahah... I see... Well then, I'll just run home and change quickly. Please hold down the fort until I get back, ma'am."[/color]
[color=fdc68a]"Yes, yes, off with you now, dear. Nothing's going to change regardless if you're here or not."[/color]

The receptionist, named Karin, gave an apologetic farewell to Alice, before quickly jogging out of the building. At this point, most of the other Renta-Experts had vacated the premises as well, either out of fear, confusion or sheer annoyance at the antics that had ensued. The owner of the monotonous voice though, finally stepped from within the murky confines of their office, entering into the building proper.

And, it was a little girl. Well, she [i]looked[/i] like a little girl at least.- A little witch-girl, to be exact, complete with cape and a large, wide-brimmed hat. She could've passed for looking precious, were it not for the fact that her face was completely expressionless, her eyes looked blank and dead and she had this creepy, unsettling aura about her. It didn't help that, while standing fully straight, the munchkin only reached up to about the underside of Brandy's bustline. Regardless, the tiny one approached where the newcomer and helpful rookie were standing, not so much as blinking once while approaching.

[color=fdc68a]"So, I take it you're the one who just applied, hm?"[/color] The pint-sized withc said, finally stopping next to the two girls and looking at Brandy with those blank, souless eyes... At this point, the satyr had finally managed to seperate herself from the tail and was calming down. At the question though, her ears and tail perked up, she raised her head and gave a confused tilt of the head in response to the person who had just arrived.
"Who're you, lil' girl?"
[color=fdc68a]"I'm your new boss."[/color]
"... Seriously?"
[color=fdc68a]"Seriously."[/color]
"But you're like... Ten."
[color=fdc68a]"I had my coming-of-age ceremony decades ago, I'll have you know."[/color]
"... Seriously?"
[color=fdc68a]"Seriously."[/color]

[i]Cicadas.[/i]

"Well, uh... Nice to meeth'cha, boss, I guess? I did the whole signing papers and stuff. So, am I member now?" Brandy straightened up her posture and brandished a big, sunny smile. The witch did not seem impressed.
[color=fdc68a]"Oh, yeah. Totally. I love hiring new employees who show up out of the blue, kick down my front door and bleed all over my furniture and staff. "[/color]
"For real!? You crazy, girl!"
[color=fdc68a]"I was being facetious."[/color]
"Whassat?"
[color=fdc68a]"I see the only parts of you that got any nutrients were your mammaries and butt."[/color]
"Ehehe~ Yeah, I know right? No worries though, boss, I'm sure you'll grow some nice peaches when you get a biit older!"
[color=fdc68a]"... I see this won't go anywhere."[/color] The witch sighed, deadpan-ly, which was quite a feat to be honest. [color=fdc68a]"Listen up, you. This is a place of business, not a playground. If you're gonna start a ruckus and make a mess, do it [i]outside[/i]. For now, you can make your first job cleaning up all of this mess you made."[/color]
"Say whaaat? C'mon, don't you have like... A maid, or something?"
[color=fdc68a]"I'm looking at her right now."[/color]
"She behind me!?" Quick head-turn to look behind herself.
[color=fdc68a]"No."[/color]
"Huh...? Oh. Ohhhh... Ohhhh, boss~ You're such a kidder~ Maa-ha-ha-ha!"
[color=fdc68a]"It wasn't a joke."[/color]
"... Seriously?"
[color=fdc68a]"Seriously. Bucket and rags are under the desk, go draw some water from the village well, then get back here and clean up. If you do it before Karin returns, I might not make you sweep and dust off my office as well."[/color] The girl turned her eyes away from the outraged satyr, and instead looked to the werewolf next. [color=fdc68a]"And you, rookie. Do you really have time to be lounging around here? I see a billboard with some requests still clinging to it, over there."[/color] She pointed toward the large, almost empty wooden surface on the wall behind them all.
"Bu- But, chief! I joined to do those kinds of things too!"
[color=fdc68a]"Clean. Your. Mess."[/color] Somehow, with each word said, the witch managed to get closer to the satyress, without actually walking.. Like, she just somehow popped into place, shortening the distance each time.
"Boo! This stinks..." The busty gal said, before walking behind the desk where Karin had been seated previously.

Bending down, she began to search around under the table, the sound of shuffling and clunking being heard. The little witch observed for a moment, before turning her face back to Alice, staring her down with empty, blank eyes as deep as a bottomless pit.

[color=fdc68a]"Since you were so eager to help earlier, why don't you lend a hand, rookie?"[/color] The Hall Mistress said, in a not-so-much-a-request-as-a-commanding way.
