Appetite for Success

[bunny killightly]

Yeah... silly... *I drift off into my own world as we go down towards floor 17*

[Max Griffiths]

*My attention wanders and I listen to the machinery of the elevator as we rumble downwards.*

[bunny killightly]

*The elevator dings on floor 17 as I try to concentrate on a thought so far away. when the elevator stops a fresh wave of headaches start. I struggle out of the elevator and try to catch my breath as the anger swells* I'll need to get some medication for these headaches soon. I used to develop medication but I stupidly tried some of it on myself. Must be reacting to something

[bunny killightly]

*I lean against the wall as a Vespa comes down the hallway with an escort*

Miss Faith, You left these in the helicopter. Didn't know what you wanted to do with them

Thank you *I take the radios and switch one of them on to listen in for information from killjoys* Can you get me some medication for headaches please? I want to have a clear head when I go in to talk to the killjoy

Right away Miss Faith *i order the Drac to go to the medical department... What are you going to do with the kid?

I have to go through the file but I need to find out a few things. Oh and get someone to set up a placement in the nearest school for when I'm finished *I continue on down the hallway and into my office. Its just how I left it. Max is close behind* Take a seat Max *I start reading the file* hmm interesting. Seams like we've been watching her house for a while...

[angelicexplosion]

*I sit in a corner of the room. wondering what is in store. I hear rattling at the door. It slowly opens and Bunny walks in* Wh- What are you really going to do to me? I swear, I didn't do anything... Please just let me go?

[bunny killightly]

I'm not going to do anything. I'm here to protect you. *I put the file down on the table and go over and sit next to her. Max stands by the door, watching everything* Its ok. Look you're a kid, you shouldnt be out there, running around in the dirt. Don't you want a good gob and a safe home when you grow up? *she goes to say something but I continue on* Of course you do. So you need to talk to me

[angelicexplosion]

I...uh.... guess so *I eye up the man in the corner*

[bunny killightly]

*I glance over at max and back at angel* its ok, he's a friend. His name is Max. He's not here to hurt you. So tell me, your dad, was he in any trouble? Did he ever have fights with anyone who came to stay with you? Its very important you tell me

[angelicexplosion]

Not that I remember... I dont think.... I dont know *Tears start to form* I dont remember. I was sent out or to bed whenever they would talk about serious things

[bunny killightly]

hey, its alright. Dont be worried. Are you hungry? thirsty? will I get you some powerpup? yeah I'll get some food sent up *I get up and order the drac on the other side to get a plate of powerpup* Now. That wasnt too bad. We'll have something up here in no time for you. *I take a photo from the file* Do you recognise this man? Has he ever stayed with you?

[redhavoc]

*I take the elevator to floor 17, using the code they gave me. I'm not entirely sure where I'm being sent or why. I look at the sealed note they gave me to deliver, one only a "Ms.Faith" can open. It's odd being out of the training routine and at first I'm not sure where to go when the doors open. I turn right, counting the door numbers until I see the right one and knock*

[bunny killightly]

*Theres a knock on the door. I turn to max and give him a nod to watch the kid. I step outside and a young woman stands there looking awkwardly* Can I help you?

[redhavoc]

*A beautiful and obviously powerful woman stands at the door. Suddenly I feel underdressed in my plain white school uniform. I look down and hold out the note, hoping she will know what to do with it*

[bunny killightly]

*I take the note and smile. I dont open it, there is no need. I've seen plenty of them before. I hold out my hand* My name is Faith lovejoy. I'm going to be your department head, the only one you report to. Welcome to the scarecrow department. Your name is?

[redhavoc]

*My eyes widen as it sinks in. Everyone knows about Scarecrow, they'd come to the school once a month for inspections and things like that, but no one ever thinks that... well, I should have known where I'd be going, based on all the training, drugs, etc. I feel honored and confused at the same time*

*As I'm thinking this I reach into my pocket and hand her my laminated ID card. It has all the standard registration numbers and bar codes, with the name Red Havoc printed on the top. I used to have a regular name, but my instructor insisted I forget it*
