Cap. 3
--The same day, in... Ikki's room—
Ikki—Damn, Saori must be insane. How could she have the taught of getting us to work with the Marquis de Sade Jr.,--aka Cancer deathmask??
Seiya—At least if she fires us we have an excuse.
Hyoga—You idiot, remember what he said. He's not going to fire anybody. He's just going to make us feel so bad that we want to quit...
Shun—And it looks like is getting what he wants. We can't think it's going to be that bad, or we're going to feel even worse.
Ikki—And can you feel good having that idiot as your boss(pointing at Seiya).
Seiya—This idiot can make your day even harder than Deathmask, so let's treat me with a bit more respect, shall we?...
Ikki---Oh, you- Here, I respect whoever I want...
Shun—QUIET.(All the other knights look at him with an amazed look on their faces). Now let's get some sleep, 'cus if we're late Deathmask is not going to shut up all day.
--Next day, Deathmask's office.—
DM—I see you arrived on time today. Looks like our little talk yesterday has made effect... Well, I'll introduce you to your new co-workers.
They walk towards the lobby of the HR Department.
DM(To his secretary)—Aum, cough cough(Thinking) I can never remember the woman's name.(Out loud) Where are the idiots who are supposed to work with this idiots?
Dumb Blonde Secretary—I have a note here saying all those idiots quit when they knew who they were going to work with.
DM—(Smiles)—Finally some good news today. Well, it looks like it's me who is going to show you the shithole where you're going to spend 80 hours a week.
--Another place in the same building, an hour later—
DM—That is it, you've seen the company's cafeteria, who proudly serves the worst food 50 miles around. Now let's see the place where you'll work. Seiya, as you are the boss, you are entitled to this office. It has beautiful furniture, of wood-like plastic, and a door with a broken lock. And it has a wonderful computer with only 5 years of use...
Seiya(With an excitement look on his face)—Man, how can you say you want to make our lives miserable?...
Deathmask slaps himself on his forehead.
DM—Moving on, the others will have these beautiful plastic cubicles, with no ceiling nor door, with furniture recycled from the dump. Because our company is environment friendly...
Shiryu—You trained a lot to get to that degree of evilness, didin't you?
DM—Com'on. Some things a just are just natural... well, I was forced to get you this job, but there is really nothing for you to do here, so you'll have to talk with this guy(gives Seiya a piece of paper), so that he can get you something to do. They're doing some real work. It's not like they're doing it well, but anyways, I've never seen anything well done in this company, so you don't have to worry about that. Oh, one thing: I'm not so stupid I'm not going to ask that guy if you really talked to him. Now, I go to go. I got some employees to terrify in the 8th floor. Farewell, hehe.
Deathmask walks out laughing.
Ikki—Seiya, give me that guy's number. Let's get this on with.
Seiya—It's Mr. Ogawara here, please.
Ikki—Damn, you0re not starting that now, are you? I'd like to know why did that demented Deathmask choosed you to be boss...
Shun—IKKI! Let Seiya call, otherwise Deathmask is going to kill us.
Seiya calls the guy.
Hyoga—how is he going to kill us?
Shun—Uh, I don't know... Yelling at us to death?...
Seiya—I've been talking to that guy's secretary. He says he's going to be here in 5 minutes...
--5 Minutes later—
Jaboo—Has someone called me here? Seiya!, what are you doing here?
All the others—Jaboo???
Jaboo—Why all the astonishment? I had enough of kissing up to Saori, so I got this job for me and my gang so that I can have an excuse to not put up with her 24/7.
Seiya—And what does your gang do here?
Jaboo—Oh, believe it or not, we're doing the scripts of Knights of the Zodiac, for the new dubbing down.
Hyoga—I taught the dubbers wrote their own scripts...
Jaboo—They used to, and just check out the outcome...
Ikki—Yes, and I supoe they will be a lot better if you do them....
Shun—Ikki! Don't start again...
Seiya-You we're supposed to bring us a list of work to do.
Jaboo—Oh, yes, our department's useless work list. Well, here's the 1st. We need one of you to write us the alphabet in all the fonts your computer has available. We figured out, since you can make it to the speed of light, you'd do the job faster than we would...
Seiya—Shun, you get this one.
And follows the distribution of useless work...
