Chapter 4 - New Friends?
In this story, I don't see Lust as a crazed sex drived pervert, like Mido in my Yandere Simulator books. Sure, he's a flirter, but he doesn't try to touch people in wrong ways and he respects boundaries, he doesn't rape either. Also, I had to change Horrors design a but, since he looks a bit too much like Sans. Also also, I changed Killers design as well for the same reason.
The skeleton that had walked in wasn't exactly walking, but floating. He was Ink's height, with a long black cloak behind him. A small rope was tied around his neck, keeping the cloak from coming undone. The hood was also no pulled over hzis skeleton head, casting a shadow over his glowing white eyes. He seemed interested by his new surroundings.
"Heya cutie, what brings you around town?" Lust asked, tilting his head at the new face in the office.
"Wow, what an introduction, I really like it," The newcomer grinned, "I'm Death, and I'm supposed to work here now, I guess. This is the Golden branch, right?"
"You must be from the Possesive Branch!" Lust giggled, putting down the phone, "You can call this the Golden Branch, but we like to call it the Light one, since it's really sunny over here. Oh, hi Boss man!"
Ink had spotted Death by now and was walking out of his Office, sticking out his hand to greet him.
"Hello, you're one of the mergers, right?" Ink greeted.
"Indeed I am, names Death, you're probably the great and powerful Ink, leader of this little Branch, no?" Death asked, shaking his hand.
"Of course," Ink smiled, "I can show you to your desk and let you situate yourself. Follow me."
"I'm Lust, see you later sweetie!" Lust giggled, winking at him before picking up his phone and continuing the call he was on before.
Death was led to the corner where Sci and Alphys were typing away at their computers, his grin on his face never leaving. He was given a quick introduction before Ink ran off to his office, practically slamming the door behind him.
"H-Hi, w-welcome to the A-Accounting corner!" Alphys said, giving a quick wave to Death.
"Yo," He said back, returning the wave, "So, there's only two of you?"
"Pretty much," Sci said, stapling some papers together, "We've been here for awhile, so please excuse us if we act weird around the idea of a third Accounting worker, we're just so used to two."
"No problamo, Sciamo," Death said, stretching out his arms above his head, "So, is there any important details I need to know about this Office? Such as if the receptionist is sleeping 'round?"
"That's what a lot of people ask about Lust," Sci said, looking over at Lust, "But he's not the type to sleep around, actually. Believe it or not, he's not really a pervert."
"Plot twist, I guess," Death chuckled, turning on his computer.
Lust wasn't the type to be a pervert to people. Sure, he calls them cute and hot, and he flirts sometimes, but he doesn't sneak into locker rooms or peak in while their taking a shower, he isn't a pervert. He doesn't touch people either, sometimes a fist bump, shaking hands, or a shoulder knudge, but that was usually formal or playful, not touching them just to touch them.
When Lust was younger, his parents hit some hard times with money. All of the jobs he applied for turned him down, and he was desperate, so he took on stripping as a last resort. He hated the job and the people there, and he kept it for three years until it managed to get his parents out of debt and back onto their feet. But Lust had formed a bit of a habit, where he was so used to taking off his shirt he started to do it all the time without noticing. So, sometimes he'd be working and realize he took off his shirt somewhere, and would have to go look for it.
Lust liked only one thing about stripping, and it was the brightly colored clothing. He always liked bright colors, and he thought the bright colors were really cute on him, so he kept the sweater and made his own matching clothing, since the rest was too revealing. He even learned some dating tips when overhearing conversations, so he often helped anyone on relationship advice in the office, except for Blue and Edge. Lust said that it was an abusive relationship, and Blue said Edge never hit him and stormed off crying.
"Oh, by the way, if you find his shirt laying around somewhere, just give it back to him," Sci said, reapplying some tape to his glasses.
"What?" Death coughed, looking up, but recieved no response from his working desk mates.
A minute later walked in another skeleton, who was an inch taller then Blue. Unlike the others in the Office, he had sharpened teeth that were turned down in a frown, one if the teeth in his left was a golden tooth. He had on a baggy sweater, with a black with tan lining hoodie tried around his waist, the tan hood fluff hanging out behind him. He also had on black basketball shorts with tan lines running on the side, along long with dark red tennis shoes. His right eye socket was completely black, his left one holding a glowing red pupil. Running through the socket was a thin crack, indicating some stuff had went down in his past.
"Fell!" Blue cheered, hopping up when he saw the skeleton enter.
"Oh god!" Fell yelled when Blue tackled him into a hug, "Blue! Too much hugging! Blue!"
Blue giggled and let go of him, causing the new skeleton to cough out.
"You know each other?" Lust asked, leaning forward with a curious expression on his face.
Oh, yeah, Lust also loved gossip. Being a receptionist was kinda boring, but the gossip made up for it.
"He's Edge's Brother!" Blue giggled, hugging Fell from the side, "I was so excited he'd be transferring over I could barely wait for today! And he's sitting next to me! Yay!"
Blue explained to Lust about how he was introduced to Fell when he and Edge were in high school, and the whole time Fell, was wiggling out of Blue's arms, his face turned into an annoyed frown. Cross leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms while watching him with an amused smile.
Ink once again came out of his office, introducing himself to Fell with a friendly smile and handshake, which Fell gave a quick handshake in return.
"Welcome to the new Eastern Branch Fell, it's nice to see you again!" Ink said, dropping his hand at his side.
"Yeah yeah, whatever Ink, where's my desk?"
"It's next to mine! Follow meeeee!" Blue said, dragging Fell off to his desk as Lust waved him goodbye.
Then walked in another skeleton.
He was around the same height as Ink, maybe a bit taller, with completely black bones. A few blue streaks ran down from his eyesockets and down his cheekbones all the way to his chin. He had a black hoodie on with dark blue fluff, a dark red shirt underneath it. With thise with black basketball shorts with blue lines on the side, red leg bones, and black tennis shoes. He also had on black, red, and yellow colored gloves. Yellow and blue clored pupils were set of a red backround, his sightly yellow teeth in an obvious scowl. Errors and glitches covered his body, constantly shifting and jumping around.
"Ink," He said softly, a hopeful expression on his face.
"Error," Ink practically growled, "It will be... Interesting working with you as my number two. Please keep in mind we will only discuss work here."
"But Ink-"
"Just shut up and go," Ink snapped, pointing at Errors desk.
"I'm not going to give up," Error whispered to Ink before walking out.
Lust, who watched the whole thing unravel, spun his chair around to face Ink, giving him a confused expression. Ink shook his head, the Boss not wanting to disclose any details about why him and Error were like that.
After half an hour, two more skeletons had piled into the Office at the same time. One was completely covered in black goo, slimey black tentacules squirming in the air behind him. You could make out his arms, legs, and his clothing from his bones, but all of it was covered in black goo. All you could see from the too was his left eye, which was glowing a bright blue.
Following him was a skeleton that had a huge hole in the left side of his head, his left eye flashing between a bright red and a dark blue color. He had on a baggy white stained t-shirt with a few holes on his, revealing his ribs underneath. He also had on completely black baggy jeans, along with white tennis shoes with red splatters at the bottom.
Lust leaned forward and propped his elbow on the counter, resting his chin on his hand. A light pink blush spread across his skeleton face, his other hand nervously tapping against the desk in a frantic manner.
"Hey Possesive Branchers, welcome to our humble little floor!" Lust said, his voice wavering, making Cross look over with a confused look.
If there was one thing about Lust, he always spoke confidently. He was proud of who he was, and how he was able to put himself through the biggest embaressment of his life for three years just to help his parents. Lust was a confident guy, so his voice wavering was uncommon.
"Yeah, sure, I guess," The black goo one muttered.
He then looked away from Lust and ran his eyes over each and every desk, before he locked eyes with Cross. Cross coughed and quickly lowered his gaze down to his computer, continuing his work. The new worker stared at him for a few moments longer before glancing back at Lust and asking where his Boss was.
"This is a really big reception desk," The other skeleton with the red stained shoes said to Lust, leaning onto the counter with his arms crossed, "It's twice the size of my old desk. I was the receptionist at my old branch, but I was promoted to a sales person."
"I-I know, right!" Lust giggled, leaning against the counter and forgetting the others existance, "It's got a lot of space on the inside, so when I'm bored, sometimes I roll around from corner to corner in my chair, I kick off the wall and sometimes I'll spin too."
"That sounds like fun, is that what you do when you get no calls?" Horror asked, "I would just see how many paperclips I could throw into a random nearby cup of this guy who I used to work with, he wasn't transferred because he kept spitting coffee everywhere, with those paperclips inside."
Lust giggled at his statement and started to say something else, but was interupted by Ink opening his Office door.
"Hello new worker! I'm your new Boss, Ink, it's a pleasure to meet you! And Horror, it's great to see you again!" Ink greeted with some energy sticking out his hand.
"Nightmare," The black too covered one said, not moving to shake his hand.
"Ink, it's a pleasure as well," Horror said, not moving to shake his hand either.
Ink sighed, lowering his hand before he pointed out where their desks were. As he did, another skeleton walked into the room.
This skeleton had on a white hoodie that was zipped up, a red dot with another red circle around it on the center of his chest. He had on grey pants and black shoes, black line running down from his eyesockets to his chin, in a similar fashion to Error's face lines.
"Is there a party I don't know is going on?" The new skeleton asked, looking around.
"Hey Killer," Horror said, grinning his sharpened teeth.
"Hey babe," Killer said, kissing Horrors cheek.
"I gatta go to my desk, see you later babe," Horror said before turning to Lust, "Nice meeting ya."
Lust looked down at his desk, his smile quickly fading as he clumsily grabed a few papers to distract himself from the awkward situation that just happened.
That didn't go unnoticed by Ink, he made a note to talk to Lust later as Horror and Nightmare trudged off towards their desks.
"Hi Killer, I know you don't like bright lights, but I don't have control over the lighting, sorry." Ink said, shaking his hand.
"It's so... Bright here..." Killer muttered, squinting his eyesockets as he brought out sunglasses from his pocket, "It was so much better in the hallway then in here."
He put in the sunglasses with some tape, making sure they were in place, before he ask where his desk was. Ink pointed it out, in which Killer gave a shrug before heading off to his desk, complaining about the bright lights.
"Hey," Sans whispered, leaning in towards Cross, "Cross."
"What?" Cross asked, closing a folder before looking up at his coworker.
"I'm bored."
"Shut up and get to work."
