@QueenOfTheBee Yup. :')
Short update, but it is out. :)


Aidan Ferguson

Location: Main Office Area; Dunder Mifflin


Aidan ended up hiring two of the other interviewees. He gestured for his receptionist -- what was her bloody name? -- to get them all settled in. Mara, Jaina, and Kayla would be running the accounting department from now on. Hopefully, none of the complete strangers would let them down. June, William, and Tom were already on their way from the temp agency, prepared to reinforce the sales team. He tugged on his hair, taking a swig of his scotch as he attempted to calm himself down.

"Business as usual," Aidan informed Emily. "Set up computers for the new folks. I'll be busy in my office making a call. Turn the bloody cameras off if you can." He headed back into his office, and set the scotch down on the table. Three minutes of practically screaming into a phone later, Aidan emerged, hoping to see less of a disaster zone.

"Hopkins is coming from corporate," Aidan announced. "Our branch will either have transfers brought in or be absorbed. There is a eighty percent chance you'll still have a job at the end of the day, so...Get to work."

He wasn't really one for pep talks.

Gwen Westbrook

Location: Her Desk (9) ---> Desk 12; Dunder Mifflin


Gwen closed her copy of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and took a disappointed breath. The ending was a bit insane for her, but of course, her disappointment vanished in a moment. They'd finally gotten another story, taking place nineteen short years after the last. Gently putting the book down in her bag, Gwen stood up, ready to go find something productive to do. Instead, the office had turned into a wasteland, with most of the employees gone, and a few wackos standing around for interviews.

"I knew you were a murderer!" Gwen exclaimed, her eyes wide as she stared at Emily. But even with the maturity to match her age, Gwen knew that it was far more serious than that. Eugene was practically an island over in sales, and she collected her few belongings, walking over to Eugene. Setting her things down, she looked expectantly at the head of sales.

"Show me what to do." Was she qualified? No. Was she prepared? Of course not. Was she the only person in the office without a definitive job? Yes. She'd have to pick up the slack, and by god, Aidan better give her a fucking glowing letter of recommendation for it.
QueenBee, need your pick of accounting NPCs within the next few days. You are also welcome to decide to hire on one of the temp NPCs (all in the character's tab) full time.
Working on an update now, folks! :)


Dorothy Pender

Location: Med Bay


Dorothy grimaced slightly, but couldn't help but be thankful when Gene left. She knew that the woman meant well, but the Med Bay wasn't an area for congregating. If she wanted to offer her services, fine. As long as she did it someplace else, she couldn't possibly care less. She nodded as Camilla left, and her eyes shot up slightly at the Captain. "It could be bacterial..." Dorothy mused, keeping her expression calm, even as Anisa showed her her arm. It wouldn't help Anisa if Dorothy freaked out about it. She examined her friends veins, before nodding.

"Nothing to worry about, love," Dorothy promised. "Some ung jeong jia ching jien sohs would suggest poisoned bullets back in the unification war. You'll be fine in no time." Of course, it was a lie, but Dorothy held her poker face well. She stepped over to the communicator mounted on the wall, and opened up a ship wide channel. "Preacher! Bring me the gorram body of Brutus, any bullets, everything on him." She figured that the stern tone of her voice would be enough to get the body brought to her, and if asked, she'd make something up. The benefit of being impulsive was that she could lie just as thoughtlessly.

Returning her attention to Anisa, Dorothy rummaged around through the medical supply kits, before finding what she was looking for. It had seemed silly to her when she was learning to be a doctor, but activated charcoal was the most common treatment. Without knowing more about what she was dealing with, it was all she could do. "I want you to picture your happy place, okay Captain?" Dorothy encouraged, grabbing a nasogastric tube. She washed her hands again, before going about the more than slightly uncomfortable process. Had this occurred back in the war, she would've just put the charcoal down Anisa's throat. She always thought that the tube would be more pleasant than that.

She let out a bit of a breath, once the tube was inserted. "This is activated charcoal, it absorbs toxins," Dorothy explained, measuring out a portion of it. She could only guess how much would be needed, with so little information about the poison. Using her best guess, Dorothy finished the set-up, the charcoal now going through the nasogastric tube. "I understand that this is rather uncomfortable, but I need you to keep your eyes open, and breathe as best you can."

Taking a moment, she went back over to the comm, opening it up again. "Preacher! Where is that gorram corpse?!"
@Pundii I might need an extension for my next Jaina and Sutton posts, since I'm moving across the country for uni this week. I'll try to get in another one for them, but I might not be able to post again till next Monday. I'm terribly sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
@Lady Amalthea @Sigil I might need an extension for my next Édouard and Jack posts, since I'm moving across the country for uni this week. I'll try to get in another one for them, but I might not be able to post again till next Monday. I'm terribly sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
@Lady Amalthea I might need an extension for my next-next Dorothy post, since I'm moving across the country for uni this week. I might not be able to post again till next Monday. I'm terribly sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. I think I can probably get one in today, since I think my counter is on day 4 or 5, but the next-next one'll likely be a bit late. ^^;
