Private Swallow your pride

With joyful footfalls, the grounds of the Blank Slate were as lively as ever. People drank, laughed, and played to their wallets content. In fact, with such hedonism taking place it could leave one shocked with how well ordered every inch of the establishment was. This was all thanks to the people that made up the security team and of course their supervisor Lucretia. The long shadow of the women cascaded over the place as she made her rounds through different areas. Eyes became more alert, and minds became sharper amongst the staff whenever she passed by, and a tinge of fear.

All of it brought a happy smirk to her face as she loved seeing the fruits of her labor work out so well. Needless to say, she was in a much brighter mood than usual when a familiar scent broke through the myriad of other smells that filled the air. Like clockwork, she turned on her heels and made her way to the familiar blue-haired women who'd she come to consider a fun past time. With no intention of scaring Levina Lucretia would slowly make her up behind her before leaning down a bit and speaking.

"Stalking me again are you?" Her voice would still carry the harsh Russian and Alien tone but with a hint more kindness than the usual cold and stoic voice she gave to most others.

With immediate effect, a curious eyebrow raised at Levina's question. It wasn't everyday people came to her for favors considering she rarely ever offered her service for anything. Lucretia would straighten up and fol her arms before a coy smirk would appear on her face. "A favor? This should be interesting." A more devilish tone was taking hold of her speech now as she had every assurance that she could milk this for a few laughs later.

Giving a quick scan of the area around her Lucretia would wave for Levina to follow. Moving through the crowds she would lead Levina to a familiar elevator like the one they'd taken during her last visit here, a staff elevator. While waiting for the doors to open should look over Levina's attire and composure. They didn't seem in a panic or scared...her clothing was more business than last time but that wasn't so telling considering the number of people that passed through a day.

" One of my offices is a few floors up from here," said Lucretia to the ding of the now-open elevator. She'd allow Levina to get in first before stepping in herself.

Lucretia took a devious pause in her movement after the question fully registered in her mind. She must've heard that wrong or the disciplinary high she was riding from earlier was beginning to really mess with her. As the elevator door closed the small square space filled with a drawn-out chuckle fit. Its source?Lucretia.

"Did I hear that correctly? Did little miss perfect get put out on her ass already? I gave you a year or two at best but what's it been, a month? Oh, you poor thing. " Lucretia chuckling started up again only this time she quickly stifled herself into silence. "Tell me what made you leave such a perfect job as you describe it and ill consider helping you. Did the boss get a bit too handsy for you?" There was a clear pompous tone accompanying Lucretia's accent as she looked down a bit at Levina.

It was a simple matter for her to help Levina at the worst she'd just send her to someone else she knew but passing up the opportunity to see Levina squirm just wasn't in her nature. The high horse the girl strode around on had to have been beaten down a bit and she wanted to take a crack at it as well.

An audible hmm sound came from Lucretia as she took in Levina's words. It was annoying that she didn't get her way but not the end of the universe. There would surely be other times for the girl to give her what she wanted. For now, she would just bide her time. Rolling her eyes she'd say "Whatever then, the city is large. I'm sure I can find something in time. The worst-case scenario is I put you and the girls to work on a game floor." Lucretia's tone carried a joking cadence though a hint of honesty was surely involved somewhere. At the end of the day, a job was a job and she made sure that the workers under her care were taken care of.

The elevator dinged once more and now the scenery around them had changed from one of lively extravagance to somber chill. This was a restricted section open to staff only. From here one could see staff lounges, vending machines, water dispensers, etc. As they would walk the nature of workers that passed them varied from cooks to janitors, to maids. "I'll take your number down in my office," she'd say plainly.


@Stefan

A heavy chuckle came out of Lucretia's mouth when the words Repay hit her ears. If there was one thing Lucretia loved having over someone it was a favor, with her foot being a close second. "You'll repay the favor soon enough. If you are as good as you claim to be then maybe I'll have need of you in the future. But for now..." Lucretia stopped in front of a door before pushing it open with her foot.

Inside was the most minimalist office one could think of in terms of personal items. The only thing that would appear to be hers was a change of clothes thrown across a small couch on the far side of the room where her desk was located.

"Take a seat and I'll find something for you to write your phone number on....And I take it you brought your resume with you?" Lucretia spoke as she rummaged through her desk drawers for a stick note and pen. Before long she would have both, tossing them to Levina.
