The morning was just beginning, 8:00am on the dot as Radek made his coffee at the Cafeteria as part of his normal routine; two creams, one sugar, and the real stuff none of the fake sugar that he hated, although still had available for his performers and staff.

Orientation was to begin today sharp at 8:30am, held in the center of the Aerial floors, Level 4, on the large floor mat that sat right in the center. It was big enough to accommodate his entire staff for the show, performers and developers. Orientation was his way to introduce himself to his newly hired performers, some who have already been training with him, and lay down the rules and regulations. His rules didn't change often but when they did, each performer was required to sign his contract. If a rule was broken they would be reprimanded or perhaps let go immediately. Luckily, his rules were simple. People loved the show because they can feel how much the performers enjoy their work and their work environment. Radek always dreamed of having not only a grand circus show for the world to enjoy, but a large family of his own, there for each other no matter what, and despite how different they might be or where they come from across the world.

Radek walked with his cup of coffee in hand, inhaling the sweet and flavorful aroma, before taking a tentative sip of the hot beverage. He made his way towards the staircase and began lazily walking up on the right side, left hand grasping his coffee cup, right hand grazing the rail for guidance. He was a timely man, a man strict to his daily routine. He always gave himself enough time to be where he needed to be, get things done to their due dates, but without the rush or frantic actions that would normally follow a procrastinator.

Radek always wore casual clothes and today, Orientation day, was no different. He wore his black sweatpants that were fitted, scrunched at his ankles. He had his dark soft padded sandals on and a white v-neck t-shirt. A loose sweater covered his back with a dark scarf hung lazily over his neck and hanging on the sides at his front. His glasses sat on top of his head.

Every person involved in his show received from Radek two hand-written letters for Orientation day. The first letter was a 2 week notice. The second letter was more casual, sent three days prior, as a courtesy reminder. His regular performers knew he expected punctuality. His new performers would learn soon enough.

Alexandra was awake before most, and this happened every morning. She walked into the Studio to stretch at 6:00, and her stretch out took almost 45 minutes. For any normal person, stretching might take fifteen minutes at maximum, but what Alex did took extra time. A contortionist's body had to be in top shape, and she was keen on keeping herself fit like she needed to be.

The studio was cold in the October morning, and she could feel a heavy chill on the floor as she lay flat on her exposed stomach. She would've worn less revealing clothes and put on something warmer, but her practices required minimal restriction and her performing outfit was a pain to put on.

The girl pulled out of her last move at 7:30, slowly pulling herself to her feet. Normally, her morning practices would be longer, but she was on a tighter schedule then most days. Since today was orientation day, Radek commanded everyone be in the acrobatics practice floor at 8:30. She made her way to the stereo and stopped the track CD that had been playing.

Alex hurried to the apartments, where she entered the place she called home. She quickly showered and dressed in her typical clothing - Black sweatpants and a black t-shirt. She'd taken a liking to the color black, but she didn't know why. She picked up her phone from her dresser and saw the reminder: "Orientation 8:30"

Some people had thought it pointless for someone incapable of speech to carry a cell phone, but she kept it so that she could send messages to Radek and the other performers. From time to time, she also browsed social media, but her list of friends didn't extend very far. By 8:05 she was in the cafeteria fixing her coffee, and by 8:10 she was up on the fourth floor.

She spotted Radek and smiled to the man, moving her hands to sign to him. "Good Morning." One by one, others started trickling in. She was always certain to be places early if she could make it. Radek hated unpunctuality, and he was known to be very angry when people were late.
