Quote: Text from Clarice:Quarterly Life Division Meeting Lab Conference Room A 0800 - 02/24/2013 All full hunters are required to attend. Due to depletion in ranks, trainee and intermediate hunters will be welcome. Prepare any presentation materials beforehand. Keep your project proposals brief and to the point.

A runic coffee maker sits in the corner of the conference room, it's presence both enticing (because coffee) and ominous (because runic.) At the head of the massive conference table, Dr. H is settled into one of the uncharacteristically comfortable leather chairs, murmuring pleasantly to Clarice. The assistant's replies were terse and annoyed as she stared down at the division ledgers as if waiting for an attack. Every once in awhile she would give one of the gathered Life hunters a calculating glare. On her other side, Dwight was busy between fussing with a small 3-d tablet display and trying to look down the blonde's shirt.
To the other side of the doctor, the unrealistically handsome Dr. Stephen was giving one of the prettier young men a charming white smile that quite possibly sparkled. Beside him, Sunny stared into her runic coffee like a man dying of thirst might stare at a glass of saltwater.
As the clock hit the hour, the doctor gestured to the gathered hunters, his voice resonant and clear over the chatter, "You may begin."

Robert walked in with a folder. On that folder was big giant font that said "Official Presentation for Making Deus a Nudist Colony." He put that folder on the middle of the giant desk, sat down, and put his feet up, obviously very proud of himself.
.. There was nothing inside the folder.

Ami liked coffee. Ami liked tea more, but Ami liked coffee. Of course, Clarice's text was more than enough to get her to the room, but the smell of coffee was a nice bonus. Dwight was fussing with something, but Ami just gave him a roll of her eyes. At least it was Mark with his stupid trash kingdom. She thought about asking for a cup of coffee, but it seemed a bit ... guarded by Sunny.
The Doctor and Clarice got a polite nod, while she sat down in one of the chairs in the room. She wouldn't be the first to begin the speeches, but she'd certainly listen. Things like this were entertaining and interesting to her. New ideas, the spread of knowledge- it was fascinating. Much better than bashing baddies any day.
Robert's folder earned a roll of her eyes as well. Robert pls.

Was that.. who was that? Robert moved off his seat, shuffled over, and snuck up behind Ami. He sat beside her, put his chin in his hands, and gazed up at her with rapidly blinking desudesu eyes.
"Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhai."
This was how Robert congratulated you on being a full hunter, Ami. By kirakiraing at you awkwardly. Enjoy it.

Senses tingling, Clarice looked up from the Division Budget and stared at Robert with narrowed eyes. She jabbed a finger toward him and then shook her head, eyes going wide in some sort of unspoken but decidedly painful threat to his person. She didn't know what he was planning. And honestly she was just glad he was wearing clothes. But more than the folder, the way he was just so pleased with himself had her thinking the absolute worst.
The doctor smiled pleasantly at Ami, an expectant edge to his regard as he tracked her progress to her seat.

This was a chance. one of the very few instances where Leon felt like there was a shot to change the way things were run here. An actual moment to be heard for his ideas instead of just eye candy to enjoy on the long daylight hours and the stoic maniac with a chainsaw. A prime moment to bring about reform and improvement to the division groups as a whole.
It was time to get very serious. There was hours of prepwork that went into his presentation.The logging on many personal hours of research that was poured into his hastily scratched notes and figures. The simple folder was carried in a brisk pace to the meeting room.
Followed by the odd sound of heels hitting tiles. The sight of the polished shoes, primp and clean pants, starched and ironed along with the dress shirt.
The shirt wasn't even cut off at the sleeves, a full, buttoned up shirt and a tie to boot. it was far too warm on the island for coats and that nonsense, but there was very little sweat on his brow, that which was above tiny framed spectacles that rested on his nose.
This was how he had to fight in the corporate setting. He was going to be heard out this time, no matter what.

Lex knew what to do the second he was woken up by the text - he'd had the night shift in the infirmary - other than just making himself look presentable in general. Two very hot and very black cups of coffee were brewed, one for the man and one for a certain head nurse that would kill if not caffeinated.
Finding his way to the meeting room was easy, he just had to follow Robert's footfalls. Smiling pleasantly at those assembled (Dwight got more of a sneer for half a second), Lex handed the other cup of coffee to Sunny. "Black and bleak as my future."
There may have been an added quickness on his way to sit next to Ami.

Ami gave Robert a rather sour look then ignored looking at him completely. "It seems you brought a folder. Why don't you go present?" Maybe she just wanted someone else to start this off so she wouldn't have to. Maaaaybe she just wanted to watch Robert make a fool of himself.
As Lex settled next to her, she relaxed if only a fraction of an inch. She was still on edge, waiting for presentations to begin. As she gazed across the room, she whispered to Lex, "I didn't think Leon owned any shirts at all. Or glasses." Well how about that. "You know, come to think of it, I don't think I've seen him out of the gym..." Oh, there was that one time, with the computers.
... They didn't talk about that time with the computers.

When Leon entered there followed a quiet shuffling as a number of hunters "discreetly" took out their phone to snap a picture of him. Quiet whispers of the tie and suit porn filtered through the room. Clarice however, looked strangely dissatisfied. The doctor just lifted at eyebrow and quirked a smile at Stephen, who was texting furiously.
Lex received an almost feral, shark-like smile from Sunny as she latched onto the cup and inhaled deeply, eyes closing in pleasure. If Allan had been in the room, he wouldn't have hesitated to remark on the sudden drop in killing intent.

Robert felt the force of Clarice's gaze, and followed it, even as she shook her head. Awwww... but... he had jazzy catch phrases and funny puns and he was even going to start with a joke.. he'd worked so hard..
He let out a sound similar to the kind of whine a dog makes when its put in its cage, and sat up straight, eyeing Ami. "I caaaan't. Clarice already said no." He'd felt the power of her no from here. So powerful. But within seconds he was already at max jovial level once more, patting Ami on the back. Hard. "I didn't know you made it too, by the way, congrats on stayin' alive! Are you gonna present anything today?"
And then Lawyer Leon walked in, and Robert whistled like a construction worker. Somebody cleaned up nice. Ami had already found someone more interesting to talk to, but Robert wasn't giving up on her yet, so he leaned in obnoxiously and listened to her whisperings.
"HAH." He barked in laughter, which felt twice as loud when followed by a whisper. "You don't know much about your fellow lifers if you're surprised about that. You know how many hours we spend in front of that ********' screen?" His hand slid in his front shirt pocket, pulling out his reading glasses just enough to see the hilt - much like one would show off a gun. "Me and the man went shopping for some shades months ago. Eyesight is always the first to go." A sad, sage nod followed his words.
And then.
"HEY LEX SUP." So belated.

Lex chuckled a little at Ami, shaking his head. "I've only seen him in the gym and at parties - this is a nice surprise. Every man should be able to clean up somewhat; even if said man challenges you to a pull up competition every time he sees you in the gym." Not to mention that the boxer always won. It was fair, he supposed - Lex didn't eat nearly as clean as Leon.
Robert was given the kind of smile an adult gives a bumbling child, and a little wave. "Good to see you, Robert."

Ami resisted the urge to rub her head in aggravation. Robert was never pleasant to deal with. Dumb enough to convince into menial work like getting her coffee, but loud enough to always, always be a nuisance.
The pat on the back knocked her to the edge of her seat, nearly falling off the thing. Her personal folder flew off her lap and splattered papers onto the floor. Her face turned bright red as she glanced up at the Doctor, checking to see if he noticed. This was embarrassing. This was really embarrassing. Please no.
She quickly bent over to pick up her papers, muttering curses on Robert. Curses and hatred and all the bad things.

The first thing to hit Leon was the amount of people in the room then it was whom it was. These were colleges, not the same as seeing Superior Caelius strut around, letting his hair flow in the wind as he tried to sharpen his teeth and claws on his favorite squad to belittle. It was a different set of pressure, seeing those that they worked with on a day to day basis, with the leaders there too.
Sure they didn't seem at all interested in this, and would probably be the first set to walk out if given the chance. he could have sworn to have seen the 'good doc' roll his eyes as he walked in.
The next part was the looks, the moment of instant recognition and the sudden appearance of his attire which he was sure they were going to quickly judge upon. The hushed whispers were already growing as he tried to find a seat in a neutral area.
By neutral he meant where there was no one else currently around for a good two meters.
and lastly, the shirt while starched and given a light spray of cologne, was itchy and confining as hell. He was already readjusting his tie, loosening the knot a little bit for air that felt like it was already escaping the room. 'Ok, you saw, and wll probably never see it again - knock it off." he stressed, embellishing the last few syllables as he went after a cup of coffee and dumped in ice cubes. the magic ice cubes that came from the runic portal to narnia.
He needed to cool off and quickly.
Robert did nothing to alleviate his temper nor nerves as he gushed about style and their former moment at bonding. "Well that was before you decided to become a insufferable p***k." he mouthed off quietly, taking a sip in thought before speaking up again. "Actually I retract my statement, you've always been an insufferable p***k, just that now its finally reared its ugly head directed at me."
Yep, he was doing a lovely job turning that new leaf.
'Good day, Lex. Miss ami." he said politely, giving the duo a nod.
nothing for robert.
