V rolls her eyes groaning as she flicks her finger on the remote to pause the commercial she's reviewing with Uzi. V has always despised the stupid dishonesty of JC Jenson marketing blaring on every TV screen. Ever since arriving to work that morning it's been driving V and Uzi crazy. That's when they were ordered to watch the commercial by N, the JC Jenson CEO.
In the silence followed by pausing the television V decides to rapidly tap the table. The clicking of her fingers on the hard surface is better than the garbage being spoon fed to them on the screen. The two of them couldn't take much more of being given something that N can manage to do fine all by himself. V turns her chair to face Uzi rolling her eyes groaning to herself.
This commercial sucks. V scoffs loudly, "Why is N having us review it without him being present in this meeting room? Isn't that his job as the CEO to manage his marketing campaign?"
Uzi shrugs, "How the hell would I know what his intentions are? Ever since he's started dating J he's gotten too close for comfort. Those stupid pens and for what they stand for is bullshit."
V rolls her eyes, "It figures that J is the one to blame for this dumb shit. She's the only one I know that's so invested in these stupid pens apart from N."
"Speaking of J where in the fuck is she? Wasn't she supposed to be here reviewing this commercial with us?" Uzi barks.
V shrugs, "I was wondering where she's at too. This isn't like her to be late to something like this. She's normally the first one of us to arrive at big business meetings. My question is why she's suddenly slacking off now?" V said as her tail swishes. "There has to be more to happen than for us to sit here watching a stupid commercial that we clearly both couldn't care less about."
Uzi glared at the office door, grumbling. "I agree. Why is N having us do his dirty work?"
V rose from her chair heading for the exit of the room. "I'm going to find N and tell him what a waste of time this job he gave us is."
"We can't just leave! You know if we do that he'll get mad at us!" Uzi crosses her arms. "All we can do right now is wait for him to come down to this office like he said he would. That's even though we both didn't want to be here in the first place."
V growled and plopped back into her chair. "He better make it fast. I've got better things to do than sit around and watch useless garbage. It's stupid and is very much false advertising."
"He just has to take his damn time today doesn't he? And when he sees that J isn't here she'll be in trouble for sure. It's not like I care about her anyways. But seeing her in trouble for a change is oh so good. Plus, the company could do with nicer drones than her."
V nods, "That's true but-"
Instantly cut off within seconds V notices the office doors burst wide open. They make hard contact into the walls colliding with a loud crack echoing around the room. This leaves unmistakable damage on the surface due to the doorknob. The wall begins to crumble under the pressure and speed of the entry.
This left V and Uzi with little to no reaction or time to respond to the new situation at hand. A cloud of drywall dust launches into the air pelting V and Uzi. Thinking fast they instinctively shield their faces with their arms avoiding the sudden burst.
V looks at the door groaning to herself at the fact that J is arriving to work late. She steps into the room slamming the door behind her. V notices as J comes closer she's hiding something unknown behind her back. V and Uzi lower their arms as the dust settles around them. V glares at J as she glares back instinctively.
Out of everything that could happen that day, why did it have to be J bringing mystery stuff to work? When she's around there is always something that goes wrong with J. With this there's more than likely trouble to come with her today. It wasn't uncommon for J to constantly pull everyone with her into stupid messes that nobody can control.
"I'm here bitches!" J shouts as her voice vibrates around the room.
"What the fuck do you have with you?" Uzi fumes as she leaps off her seat taking a step closer to J.
A grin twists at J's face crossing while she makes her way to the table. From behind her she sets a small but terribly woven basket down on the center of the table. Inside the basket it's an instant disappointment to V what's in there. Of course what's inside is those stupid JC Jenson Branded Pens she always has on her. These match exactly to the ones that are in the commercial V and Uzi have been watching.
To V's surprise she sees that J wasn't done with her gimmicks. J pulls out two tall blue bottles out of nowhere from behind her. One of them was full while the other one was half empty. J set the bottles next to the basket like it's nothing. J places her hands on her hips puffing out her chest.
Uzi groans shaking her head. "You've got to be shitting me J! You can't just bring bottles of anti-freeze to work so carelessly! You know how wasted any of us get with that stuff." Uzi growls, "This isn't your place to do whatever the hell that you want! You need to knock it off with all of this bullshit."
J chuckles running her hand through one of her ponytails flicking it. "Sorry for being late! The traffic was rather terrible today! I thought that I'd never survive it." J puts her hand to her chest. "It was horrible! Very very bad! Nobody would move out of the way and let me through!" J pauses looking at the bottles. "But along the way I took a special pit stop. Plus I got thirsty."
V points at the bottles. "You know better than to bring alcohol to work like Uzi said! You know how bad anti-freeze is for us and our systems! I'm not gonna be a part of this! I'm not risking getting into trouble because of you again."
J grins, hiccuping, "I got the good shit. You won't be sorry and you'll be missing out if you don't have any."
"God dammit J! You drove all the way here while you were wasted!" Uzi growls pointing at J. "Gimme a bottle. I've been craving some good shit lately." Uzi scurries over snatching the half full bottle on the table and wastes no time chugging a large mouthful. "Where'd you get this? I'm going to want more of this later. It's so good."
"That's a little secret only I will know for where it came from." J winks offering the other bottle to V. "Oh come on V! You know you want some of this. It's calling your name. Can't you hear it?"
V narrows her eyes looking at the bottle before shrugging. "Fuck it. You're right. But this is all on you if we all get into trouble for this."
"I can't hear your stupid bitch ass. Can you speak a little louder?" J chuckles, "We'll be fine, you can fully trust me with this." J looks at Uzi. "Enjoy your good shit. You're going to need some of this short stuff!"
"Fuck you" Uzi says, taking another swig.
V rolls her eyes swirling, the liquid around inside the bottle. V tips the bottle back taking a large drink of the substance. For a few minutes ran the bittersweet liquid in her mouth for a long moment before swallowing and exhaling loudly.
"You're right, it's the good shit." V burps holding the bottle closer to her mouth. "I'll cut you some slack with this one."
It didn't take the anti-freeze long to make its way through V's body sending a warm spike throughout her system. Seconds pass as V begins to vibrate in place alongside Uzi who's already buzzed from the first drink. J grins wider as they both took another drink from their bottles at the same time. Oh how V loves the different feeling of being drunk after so many weeks without anything to drink.
From the basket J bends down pulling out one of the pens and looks it over weaving it between her fingers. Unlike most times previous models of the pen weren't working so well leaving J pleasantly surprised. She didn't expect that they were made better than the prototypes before the final version.
The sight of the pens sends warm chills throughout her system. Her plan and why she grabs the pens in the first place wasn't complete yet. There was one more piece to the puzzle and he hasn't arrived yet. She wants him to show up sooner than later but knew she'll have to wait. All J has to do now is to wait for the perfect moment for N to walk into the room.
V snickers, "I bet you anything you can't finish your bottle faster than I can Uzi." V chuckles. "I bet you're not brave enough to challenge me."
"Hey! I'm not scared of you!" Uzi snaps. "You know damn well that you won't win against me."
"We'll never know if we don't try." V says, rolling her eyes snickering to herself.
Uzi growls, climbing onto the table wavering as she moves closer to V. "Is that a challenge? You're on! Prepare to lose!"
"Of course it is dumbass! What else would I be doing with this bottle without a little bit of fun?"
A wide grin crosses both V and Uzi's faces. A final showdown is about to begin. V narrows her eyes and is ready for what's to come. Uzi swerves as she moves closer to the edge as it shifts with her weight and every step taken. The two of them lock gazes holding their bottles up to their lips waiting for a signal to start as they both stare at J.
This is a show that J isn't expecting but she didn't want to miss it. The drama that flies around the offices is a part of what made this job fun and to be anything but boring. The winner would come out victorious but at the fair price of a massive hangover. It was the break in the silence that everyone's been looking forward to for the past few hours. J leans in closer not wanting to miss the performance and chaos that was about to commence because of her.
J hiccups and chuckles. "You two are so cute when you compete like this. Good entertainment."
"Nobody asked for your opinion J." Uzi hisses and glares at her.
V puts the bottle closer to her lips grinning wider. "Let's get this bullshit over with shall we?"
J grins, shaking her head. "Get on with it you two. We don't have all day for you to keep fucking around."
V not wasting a second more tips her bottle back as Uzi follows in suit. The race is on! Who will win? Who knows! Uzi chugs fast but V was outdoing her by a moment more. For V drinking anything fast has become her specialty over the years. It gave her time to get things she needs to do and to be taken care of quickly.
Uzi's cheeks bulge as she gazes over. She notices V's speed and how unmatched she is to her and the skills she's built up. The contest between them didn't last for long before V slams the now empty bottle onto the table burping loudly.
"I told you, I'd win!" V shouts. "Take that bitch!"
Uzi finishes her drink, swallowing deeply, smashing the bottle to the floor as it shatters all over. "This isn't fair! Bitch! You cheated!"
"You're just a loser. You should know this already"
"Listen here you little-"
Rising to her feet V cackles rising to her feet swaying as she got up staring at the door that looks wavy and distorting. V stumbles forward catching herself on one of the other chairs nearby. Sliding across the floor a few feet due to the wheels. V lands on her face as the wheeled chair flings across the room bumping into Uzi on the way by.
"Watch where you're aiming! You could've killed me with that!" Uzi hisses under her breath.
The meeting room door flies open with N standing on the other side. N steps into the office quickly surveying the room from the pen filled basket on the table to the broken blue glass scattered all over the floor. He pauses seeing the other bottle near V.
N narrows his eyes saying nothing as his jaw drops at the sight. His gaze travels locking onto Uzi as she topples forward face first to the floor from the top of the table. Uzi groans loudly after the clash and the immediate contact with the ground.
"What is going on here?" N asks. "I didn't tell you guys to horse around in here and for you to just watch the commercial."
J prepares at the moment's notice as V looks up to her pull her arm back, pen loaded in her hand like a dart facing in N's direction. V sits up keeping her gaze locked on J. She closes one eye aiming and ready to fire in the direction of N. Shooting her arm back then forward J releases the pen as it shoots across the room like a speeding bullet heading directly for N's head. Watching with widening eyes V tenses up watching the pen only catching it as a black and white blur slicing through the air.
N's eyes grew wide when he spots the incoming pen coming straight for him. The pen hit its mark perfectly; a bullseye lodging itself deep in the middle of his forehead. Falling back oil sprays the room from the damage. Some of the oil rained down on top of V who licks it up as it hits her. N crashes hard on his back lying motionless in a daze. His screen flickers and falls into darkness. The pen stays lodged firmly in his forehead like a vertical post that struck an oil jackpot. The room goes silent before V glares at J narrowing her eyes.
V growls deeply, "Good job J, you killed N."
"Shut it." J snips. "My plan is working the way that it should."
Uzi perks up glancing at J. "What do you mean by your plan?"
"It's none of your business to know any of my plans."
N powers on again after a few seconds sitting up slowly staring at J frowning. J grins wide but her gaze travels around the room. A few sweat beads forms on the edges of her face screen. Something didn't feel right in the room as V shivers at the change in the dynamics around her.
N slowly rises to his feet approaching J with his arms tense and straight to his sides. J having plans wasn't making things any easier for anyone. J sits at the end of the table sinking in her seat at the end of the table. He points at J narrowing his eyes as she sinks in her seat further.
"What did you do to me? I need you to explain what's going on with your plan you just mentioned."
"Uh? I got the prototype pens that you ordered for me to pick up today." J pulls another one out of the basket. "Very good quality, better than I intended them to be."
Uzi slowly sits up and looks at N tilting her head. "Sir, you have something lodged in your forehead. Do you need help getting it out?"
N tilts his head patting his head until he found the pen lodged in his forehead. Carefully he pulls on it as oil and ink mixed in from the pen dripping down his screen. N's eyes grew wide as he gasps looking at the contaminated pen not saying a word. He held the pen out to where J could see it as black drips from it splattering onto the floor at his feet.
N shakes his head. "Babe, how many times do I have to tell you that these aren't darts and are very dangerous for anyone to throw. Someone could've gotten really hurt by that."
"Really? They're just pens and we have nothing to worry about for what they are. Nothing about this will go wrong." J says in a quiet tone. "I can promise you that."
N walks to the corner of the room where a red biohazard bin sat throwing the soiled pen into it. N wipes his hands on his jacket to get rid of the extra mixture on them. His gaze travels around the room before it stops on the paused TV. Rolling his eyes he scans for the remote, finding it in the mess of shattered glass picking it up.
He points the remote at the screen before he speaks. "This explains a lot about how you're all acting. You've all yet to finish watching the commercial like I've told you to."
"Wait, that wasn't the end of that?" V moans. "I thought that was it but apparently not."
"It might be worth paying attention to this next time I assign you something so important."
N presses the button on the remote as the commercial continues to play for him.
Side effects may include:
Nausea. Upset Stomach. Accidental Male Pregnancy. Overheating. Awakening of Inner Eldritch Horrors. And Possibly The Blue Screen of Death.
Remember! Don't throw pens at anyone especially at Disassembly Drones! You never know what can happen with that!
