The Interview!

He was just a normal dude, with slightly Questionable Interests. His appearance was just as Bland and as average as his name, Bob. He had no special skills that set him apart from anyone else. Everything about him was hidden behind a calm, cool and kind mask that he and many others had put on just to fit in with society.

If one were to ask what he thought of Society he'd give a bland Answer, while thinking how much he doesn't care and wondering why he was being talk to. In fact his thoughts on people he doesn't like can get..twisted..

He doesn't see the world as black and white, but just gray. There is right and wrong because someone there should be and others of the herd follow along. In this herd there are wolf's, Tigers and snakes wearing Sheep's clothing because they are the minority in there numbers.

Right now Bob was sitting in the office of a company building gazing at the person in front of him with cold eyes. "I'm sorry, I believe I've misheard you Mr. Elcon?" He spoke while calmly digging his nails into his leg.

"The company is letting you go. There is not enough work and to many employees, while your Profit and superiors praise your work Ethics and dedication as well as you capabilities. That is the exact reason, I myself am letting you go. To be truthful, this company is going under. If it does go under and your here when it happens, it will look like a smudge on your Record. And after what I've learned of you Bob, you can go so much further than what your sitting at right now.

Understand that I'm not letting you go out of malice, but because at this company your future is stuck. You can't go up any higher. But, if you look somewhere else.." the CEO spoke not realizing his Employees unstable mood or his cold look. The man sighed upon seeing Bob leave.

By the time it was getting Dark Bob had returned to his Flat that he had bought a few years ago, after Drinking at the bar across the street.

As he sat down on his couch and rested his blood shot eyes, his day had gone from bad to worse. After getting Fired his Ex came to him for early child support money as she had rent to pay and on top of that Nick need new school supplies for the start of school next week. Of course he wasn't short on money after years of savings. And he wasn't on bad terms with Lona Either. It's just their jobs had gone Separate ways her job took her up in the world and the time they spent became less and less, and most of her free time was spent taking care of little Nick. Not that he minded, as fucked as he is, he still was caring for those he loves, even if that list only was as long as Lona and Nick.

Bob suddenly left something was off, everything had became to quite. The Noise from the traffic down below was gone, and the sound of his TV was gone. Bob took a calming break and open his eyes.

He found himself alone with a woman who looked strangely familiar, they were Inside a back room VIP Lounge sitting face to face on two sofas with a high rise bar table between them.

"Good Evening, Mr. Evens. My name is Yumeko Jabami, your Recruitment Agent from The Company behind the WC App." The woman gave a brief introduction while she started dealing cards.

Bob frown as he understand where he was and why thus woman look so familiar to him. He noticed the game they were playing was Blackjack.

"Here at the Company, I have a free Spot for a new contractor. And your name appear next on my list. Unfortunately your old WC build had been Deemed obsolete, Either prices are not the same or the times on your build no longer exists or have been changed." As Yumeko Jabami spoke the two players continue their game of Blackjack one that was mainly won by Bob because he didn't play like he cared only taking risk when he felt bored or even holding with 13 at times just to see what would happen.

This style of play was something Yumeko Jabami had never seen before and made her confused and messed with her flow.

One moment he tried to crush her with a 21, next he held on two aces.

"So..I need to make a new build, but what does the company require me to do?" Bob asked curiously as he bust going over 21 while he had a 19.

Yumeko Jabami bit her nail as she fell deeper into the game "nothing really, you need to complete one Grand mission and you'll become a free contractor." She muttered while trying to win the next game only for Bob to get a blackjack.

"Ok. But what about my world? And my life?" Bob asked

"Yes Bob? what about it?" Yumeko Jabami asked with a knowing smile. Bob suddenly became quite and focused on the game. Then spoke after a few hands "I still care for my child." He said after thinking for a long time

"Yes you do, but you don't need to worry..the Planet and all inhabitants had already died when a time Anomaly caused the sun your plants orbits to explode. Fortune seems to favor you Bob, as I got you out just in time..now while this seems shocking and all, you can in fact Decline our deal here and now. But, when I send you back you'll be caught in the explosions and die with everyone else."

The two Pause in their Game as Yumeko Jabami stared wide eyed at Bob watching and waiting for his choice without paying attention to anything else.

'What will he choose..I bet..I bet, the ultimate bet, you will choice to decline and Return.' Yumeko Jabami though with a exited grin.

'Oh? Then my bet will the the opposite, he'll become a contractor.'

A unknown voice spoke into her mind

'What's the wager?' Yumeko Jabami asked almost immediately she was getting to exited.

'Hm..your servitude inside of his Retinue! If I loss..I'll make you my right hand, the highest promotion on this side of the company.'

'I take your bet!'

The unknown conversation anything took seconds, just enough time for Bob to get over the shocking news.

"Well then..."
