It was early morning, around 5 AM. Her mother was doing her hair, Hecate. She was getting ready for her new position, as a secretary. She’d got the position from her mother, being able to convince a few gods to get her to be ‘productive’. She was fairly hardworking, but she still had yet to be labeled as an actual goddess. She couldn’t take over her mothers role, so she was left in the shadow of it. That morning she’d gotten ready and hadn’t quite put in as much effort as she could’ve, but this was her mothers idea of course. As she got to the building she looked up at the size of it, ’Woah.’ her mother said her goodbyes and she walked into the large building. The front desk lady greeted her, “Hello, Ms Embelia, you can head to the top floor and Mr. Pleonexy will speak to you.” she nodded before heading into the elevator, she was nervous. @Visape

The elevator ride was long and arduous, and felt like it went up for eons. There were only 9 level's that were indicated on the inside, but that couldn't be true. From the outside, this building seemed to stretch upwards forever, and as the number's within the elevators inside slowly ticked up it all started to make sense. Each level took what felt like minutes to travel up, and each second only added to the sudden nerves that were building in her chest. As the elevator slowly came to a stop, the doors slid open with an audible ding. What met Daphne was an open office, a small room with black flooring, red chairs lining the wall and a matching carpet that led to a large mahogany door. Next to it was an empty desk with a small scribbled note on the front which read: Nock and walk in whenever you're ready! Good luck sweetheart <3 The hand writing was unfamiliar to her, but from the stamp that was on the bottom corner, Daphne could assume that it was from the lady that let her in, back down on the first floor. Following the instructions on the note, Daphne would walk into an incredibly expansive meeting room, a long painted table stretched on for ages before stopping at the far end of the room, just in front of a large glass window that spanned from ceiling to floor. The room was dark, except for the light that entered from the window's at the end of the room, incidentally illuminating a figure that paced from wall to wall, phone receiver pressed to his ear. His voice was quiet but furious, a commanding tone shook the foundations of the room as he hissed into the receiver. "Listen to me, we have too much work as it is! We are a legitimate business, not some goddamn day care whenever you freeloaders feel like bumming off your responsibilities-, wait no. No! You cannot just-" A moment of silence before a loud crash, at the receiver crumbled to pieces in his hands. "Goddamn it!" @duckie )

She winced at the sound before clearing her throat. ’Was that about me’ her mind raced. “Hello, I’m Daphne, Daphne Embelia.” she cleared her throat once again taking a deep breath. “I’m supposed to be your new secretary.. Hecates daughter.” she straightened her dress, approaching him. “I assume you’re Mr. Pleonoxy?” she reached out her hand to shake his. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.” @Visape

The enigmatic figure winced as Daphne cleared her throat. The plastic splinters of the receiver dug into his hand, wounds oozing an almost glowing red substance, but just as suddenly as the wounds appeared, they seemed to clean themselves up; pushing the splinters onto the floor with a soft clatter. The terrible lighting made it difficult to make out his expression, as if his silhouette was constantly shifting in front of her. "Yes... yes. The up and coming goddess huh? Phew... Alright, take a seat." His voice was much softer now... strained and tired was his tone as he gestured to a soft velvet chair that was definitely not there before. A long sigh escaped his lips as he stepped forward. The man was dressed in a sleek pressed three piece suite, plain office dress, with a bright red tie. It was far too plain... but that must've been the point, as underneath the cloth something seemed to ripple and change. Enzo didn't sit, instead away from his desk and leaning against the glass, a file suddenly appearing in his hand as Daphne blinked. He nodded slowly as he read through it before throwing it onto the desk in front of him. It was still impossible to define his features, even this close, but she certainly felt his glare as he scanned her up and down. "First things first, don't call me Mr anything. It's either Sir... or you stay quiet. Understand?" The harsh contempt in his voice was plainly obvious, but he didn't need to raise his voice to make his point. It was a cold sort of... rage? Hard to pin down. Before Daphne could even reply, he began speaking again. "There is always going to be work around here, and far too much that I can entrust to you wallflowers. So all I need you to do is keep my schedule, and act as my middle understand. All you have to worry you're pretty little head about is making sure I'm the right place at the right time. I don't need you're professional insight or godly wisdom. Not in my office."

@duckie SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG; tell me if the character is coming off a bit strong, trying something new! if you want me tone it down just shoot me a message as well)

She glared at him, trying to take in his lack of respect for her. She was so used to nymphs and humans treating her like royalty, truly because she was. She felt like he could pounce on her at any moment, him moving around his office felt like a predator circling its prey, she was the prey. “I don’t believe that’s how this should work.” she bit back. “If my mother knew about you talking to me like this, you’d be dead.” her eyes were dark and heavy lidded. “Respect is earned, I won’t give it to some self proclaimed ‘boss’ just because he demands.” she took a deep breath. She tapped her nail to the desk, running a finger through her hair. Her rage matched her mothers, she was hot headed and wanted everything to be fair. “Not to mention, I don’t want to be here anymore than you do, I did not choose this.” she growled out. @Visape

Enzo froze in place. So little birdies got claws huh? He turned his nose up before marching back to his desk and slamming his palms onto the table, face only inches away from hers. He smelled softly of ash and smoke, as a fragrant cloud of smoke covered his eye's... though not covering his scowl. "You're right. Respect is earned... and right now, I've got as much respect for a cigarette butt than I do for you. So-" Enzo's hand was swift as he grabbed her chin, his grip tight but not painfully so. His voice became a low whisper like growl as he hissed in her ear. "So you can tell mommy to shove, cause she can't save you here." Enzo's grip softened as he practically pushed Daphne away from him before rounding his desk and walking towards the door. His voice boomed throughout the office, hints of that snarling fury still licking at the edges of his speech. "The faster you get your tottie ass in line, the faster you get out of my hair. Now, follow." He gestured as he crossed his arm behind his back, the large heavy doors swung open for him as he walked away. @duckie

Her lip quivered as he slammed the desk, slightly flinching at the loud sound. His face being close to her made her slightly wince, being overpowered made her feel slightly weak. As soon as he grabbed her chin she squeezed her eyes shut, slightly scared of what he would do. It quieted her down as she swiftly followed behind him. She held herself in her arms as a way to almost comfort herself. Her pride was knocked down, but she wasn’t going to back down this easily. She couldn’t let someone tell her what to do that easily, she didn’t care what would happen to her. She knew her mother would raise hell itself to find her if something happened. She would know and now that this man had encouraged her rage, she was going to take him down, even if it meant taking herself down with him. @Visape

As they began to approach the elevator that Daphne used to get onto this floor, his form began to clear up a slight bit. He wasn't much taller than she was, only being a head or two taller than she was but his figure was much more imposing. As if the space around them simply bent to his will. He didn't turn to face her as she walked behind him, but he did let out a small sigh. "Listen, kid, I get it. Back where you're from, you think you're hot shit... people will always bend their ear and knee for whatever you need, but you need to learn a lesson that I think you're mother agree's with. Thinks won't always work that way for you. When you finally start trying to make something of your own, you'll have to learn to see others as equals, and even how to kiss some asses." His voice was much softer now, more gentle... but there wasn't any kindness in his voice. Simply pity, for what seemed to be a child trapped in a women's body. The elevator dinged as the doors opened and he stepped inside, turning to face her. His eye's were still covered in a thick plume of smoke, but he wore an impatient and exhausted frown on his face as he waited for her to step in, and as she did the doors slid silently shut. "So that's why you're here. You need to be taken down a peg and learn a thing or two. So while you're here, you'll be communicating with the lower departments, your equals, then informing me, your senior. Do I make myself clear?" @duckie )

She stayed silent, trying to comprehend what he was saying, his aura around him was intimidating. Yes, she may of lived easily but her beginnings were nothing easy. She’d worked hard to find a place in this world, being one of Hecates many children, she made a name for herself. She’d worked to live easily, for someone to say things wouldn’t always work out for her was obvious. Her whole life didn’t work out for her and now she was stuck working a job she never wanted. She still didn’t say a word, she didn’t want this to be more difficult than it had to be. Her thick hair covered most of her face, she refused to look over at him, still being pissed. “Yes.” she mumbled, this wasn’t fair to her and she sure as hell wasn’t gonna act like it was. As the elevator opened another man walked into it, seemingly nervous to be around Enzo. Daphne softly smiled and nodded her head at him. @Visape

Enzo gave almost no thought to the traveling worker, other than a nod and a click of the button, eliciting a quiet thank you from them. Enzo opened his mouth to say something, the start of a snappy yes what? was quickly cut off as he stepped back, leaning against a wall to face Daphne. "I've had more than enough of you Silver spoon kids in here to know what you're thinking. Trust me, you haven't seen a rough start... and I don't wanna be the one to show you. I'm not that much of an asshole. I run a tight ship, so as long as you pull your weight, you won't have problems." Enzo's furrowed brow began to soften, as a look of pity spread across his face. "Clawing out of your mother's shadow must have been a big ordeal for you, but that doesn't change the fact you've been surrounded by servants and nymphs at your beck and call, plus the praise of humans and your heritage. A lot of people here haven't had that... they still don't have it. They've fought alone, spilled blood and sweat alone. Here, you ain't got no one but yourself." Enzos speech started out seriously, but after a moment he found himself cringing at his own words and waving his hands. With another shrill ding, the doors opened to a wide open garden. A strange but familiar sight... though a bit twisted. Here were ancient tree's, some of which seemed slightly singed, in the middle of an office building. There were windows that brought in soft light, but it had a strange orange tinge to it. @duckie )
