Ryou finishes tying his hair up with an elastic he procured from his supposed-to-be-empty desk. Seems like it's previous occupant had left some odds and ends so ryou was trying to use them to keep himself occupied.
He had come upon this job mostly be accident, and in an odd development, ryou was surprised to hear he would not be receiving any formal training, but he was to wait for his department head to come speak to him. So there ryou was, waiting.
It was about 45 minutes, ryou would reckon, before his department head came to see him. Mr akihide, he was supposedly called.
Just as ryou sat up in his seat, feeling the time might be coming, he heard a rapping on his door. Ryou was about to tell the individual to come in before the visitor entered of his own accord.
"Good afternoon newbie!"
The man who entered was young but rather worn looking - blonde hair dye looked to have been places over slightly graying hair to pair with his five o clock shadow. The look was completed with the man's Hawaiian print shirt, khaki pants and penny loafers.
Ryou stood up to greet the man.
"Good morning! You must be mr akihide" he greeted, extending a hand. The man took ryou hand to shake vigorously but shook his head at the same time.
"Akihide is busy so I'm coming to give you your 'welcome package'" he said, emphasizing the last two words with air quotes.
"My name is Sam dodds, you can call me sam. Im our project manager.
Ryou nodded, trying the commit all this new info to memory. "Its nice to meet you Sam. Im really thrilled to be working here." He said, accepting the reusable shopping bag that was passed to him. He decided he would look through it after when it wasn't rude to do so.
"Thrilled to have ya! Get your stuff out there, I'm also gonna go through your first assignment" the man put a fairly hefty file folder down on the table as he said this with a usb thumb drive attached to it. Ryou obliged by taking out the contents of the bag.
The first item was a set of lab coats, only one that seemed like he may be the first owner of. The next was a lanyard with the company name and a fob key, and a second. There was also a tag with his name and the photo he had provided when asked. The last item was a shiny stainless steel travel mug, also with the companies name printed on. Ryou grinned and nodded in thanks to Sam.
"This is great, thank you!" He put his lanyard and name tag on and shoved the rest back into the bag for now. He then slipped his hand over to the file folder, thumbing it open. Ryous superior choked out a laugh as ryou lay his eyes on the first page. Ryou then laughed a little himself, thinking he was a victim of an initiation joke.
"You guys must have a good photo retouch artist here" he said holding up the photo to the light to see if he could find any imperfections.
"Photo retouch artist? I'm afraid not, he just happens to look a lot like you. This is the first time I noticed myself. Anyway, he's been here for a bit. We've had mostly d class personnel in there to observe him with mixed results. But we think it's safe to send a counselor in, so here you are!" He exclaimed, gesturing at ryou with both arms. Ryou nodded, pretending he knew what any of this meant.
"Sure, I'll do a preliminary scope of him." Ryou said as he eyed the photo, nodding at Sam who had left mentioning something about food.
He would get to it, but he decided to take a look at the file first. Granted, There wasn't all that much info. Ryou was able to find out his name was Bakura, his approximate age was 25 (whatever approximate means), and his anomoly; telekinesis, and telepathy. Ryou took a deep breath at this. He had heard rumors about other worldly creatures at this establishment, but seeing it be reality was a bit of a shock. He also found the gentleman's number as designated by the company:
SCP 476.
