Hello everyone and welcome back! I have to say I was a little surprised by the response I got from the first chapter. I thought it was awesome! Anyway on to chapter two…
Ariel was standing in the vigil circle for Dion with her co-workers. Their boss Tracks, a buff mech who was mostly green with silver highlights was talking about honoring Dion's memory by working hard and safely. The circle disbanded and Ariel left for the locker room.
The mirror in her locker watched as mascara ran down her face. Ariel wiped away her running make-up and saw the books Dion gave her. She recomposed herself and left.
"I quit," Ariel said to Tracks in his office.
"What?" Tracks asked surprised.
"I quit,"
"Ariel I know you've always been a little…stubborn, but quitting just because of Dion,"
"Dion was a friend! And besides I'm tired of working here. I quit,"
Ariel turned on her heels and left. She returned to her apartment where she packed her bags. Ariel walked by a mirror and stopped in her tracks. She looked at herself and said.
"Time for a makeover."
Ariel took a shower and washed all the hairspray out of her hair. She found a longer skirt and a lace blouse to wear. She french-braided her hair and put on more natural make-up. Ariel studied her new look and settled with it.
Ariel hurried down to the train station and boarded a train from Kalis to Iacon. After the three hour ride, Ariel left the train station and headed downtown. She saw a large tower looming over the city. Ariel went over to the building and snuck inside.
A receptionist was busy typing away when Ariel walked in. She walked up to the receptionist who was white and navy blue with a high bun in her hair and cat eye glasses. The receptionist looked up at Ariel.
"Can I help you?" she asked in an Iaconian accent.
"Ummm…do you have a job opening?" Ariel asked innocently.
"No,"
"You sure?"
"Positive,"
"What is this place anyway?"
"Ummm…what planet are you from?"
"Kalis,"
"That explains the accent. This is the Iacon Hall of Records, run by Alpha Trion. But we…are not…hiring,"
Ariel sighed and lunged over the desk so she was face to face with the receptionist, their faces almost touching.
"Fine, but I'll have you know that in Kalis, we get what we want no matter what so watch your back," Ariel whispered.
Ariel turned to leave and ran smack into something and fell. Papers scattered everywhere. Ariel landed on her side and held it as she sat up. Her optics fell upon a somewhat buff red and blue mech. Ariel's spark skipped a beat. The mech had landed on his tailpipe and held his lower back as he sat up and saw her. Ariel grabbed up a bunch of papers and handed them to him.
"I'm sorry. Did I bump her?" Ariel flirted sweetly as she held out a hand to the mech. He accepted it.
"No I think I bumped you," the mech replied politely as he gathered up some papers near him.
Ariel helped pick up the papers and looked at the mech with a flirty smile.
"My name's Ariel…I'm new to the city. What's your name?" Ariel said.
"My name's Orion Pax and I work here at the Hall of Records," the mech responded a little dazed.
Ariel smiled again, "Well it was nice meeting you Orion. See you around."
Ariel left the hall swinging her hips. She had always been a flirt and knew how to make mechs weak in the knees.
There's chapter two. I have to say, I really like this Ariel. She's like the person I wish I could be. Anyway I hoped you liked it and stayed tuned for chapter three.
