Vicky stumbled home happily, trusting Spark to lead her home. The faint rumbling of his gears comforted her as she clambered through piles of drunks, vomit, and a mixture of both.

Spark yapped loudly when the downtrodden apartment complex came into sight. He jumped up and snatched Vicky's handbag, as she aimed a shaky kick at him in outrage, missing and falling over, giggling insanely. Spark made a ' chuh ' sound, rolling his eyes. Spark pulled the room keycard out of the bag, and forced it into Vicky's shaking hand. She patted him on the head, scratching behind the ears as he yapped appreciatively.

The elevator stank of urine and sex, Vicky wrinkled her nose as Spark dodged a used condom, lying like a wrinkled sausage on the floor. He jumped into her bag, so that he wasn't on the floor.

50 floors up, and Vicky had almost died from asphyxiation. She fell out of the elevator, as the doors opened with a ' ding'.

Vicky had a mouthful of slurm con that she kept under the floorboard, a mouthful wasn't enough to get high, just enough to ward off a hangover in the morning. It slipped down her throat, as she gagged at the sweetness. The comforting embrace of the drug took over her for a moment, but she shook her head out of it. She'd never, ever get addicted to anything again.

Vicky took the stairs today, not wanting to smell of piss on her first day of work. Spark ran down with her, thinking that this was a game.

The drug made her drousy, she stripped off all of her clothes and fell into bed, darkness enveloping her senses as she fell into a deep sleep.

--

Spark's alarm woke her. The robopuppy nudged her as she groaned.

" Mornin' " She rasped, petting Sparks head. He yipped happily, dragging in a bowl of cold porridge that she'd made yesterday. Vicky touched the bowl to her lips, chugging down the cold sloppy substance.

10 minutes later, Vicky had washed and dressed, towel drying her short hair until it fluffed up. She surveyed herself in the mirror, applying some eyeliner and mascara, and tinting her cheeks with powder, so that she didn't look as pale.

Vicky took the stairs today, not wanting to smell of piss on her first day of work. Spark ran down with her, thinking that this was a game.

Vicky was almost there, she took off her red hoody as she entered what looked like a reception area. A delapidated plant lay in the corner, drooping slightly. A door was stood ajar, and that very door was labelled ' Staff '

Spark entered the door first, followed by Vicky. She was greeted by several corridors, an aged slurm machine slouching in one of the dusty corners. A fishy smell was lingering in the corridor, making Vicky wrinkle her nose.

The smell got worse as Vicky and her faithful companion drew nearer to a door with a poster in the glass, obstructing the view from inside. The flame haired girl shivered slightly, when she saw that the poster showed a diagram of a human nervous system, a bit of paper had been ripped out where the brain used to be, and something squishy had been taped over it, and shoddily labelled in Alienese.

Vicky squinted at the writing, she wasn't good at Alienese.

" Sw..swim bl..bladder? " She read aloud, peeking through the available spaces on the door. The room was dark, and seemed to be the source of the fishy smell. Vicky hoped that the healthcare was free.

She trekked onwards, and entered what appeared to be an empty employee's lounge. Vicky sagged in annoyance, muttering something about never being early again.

The lounge was a lot better than Vicky's apartment, but it smelt worse. A combination of burnt oil, farts and cheetos. She sighed, throwing herself down onto the musty yet comfortable couch, and promptly fell asleep.

---

Vicky awoke to being sat on by a heavy squishy object. The heavy squishy object seemed to be snoring slightly, and smelt exactly like the couch, only much, much worse.

Vicky shrieked loudly, awaking the smelly object on top of her.

" Ah god, wussat? " Screamed the smelly man, his hair was a dazzling orange colour, but that was the only thing dazzling about him. His hair looked wet from the amount of grease contained in those follicles, he had enough in there to deep fry potatoes. His clothes weren't that better either, covered with dried in food stains, a pickle, and god knows what else.

" You think you could get off?" Seethed Vicky, not liking this predicament at all.

" Aww, do I have to? " Moaned the man childishly

Vicky answered him with a knee to the groin. His face seemed to curl inward as it formed a small ' O ' of surprise, he rolled off her, his hands clenched between his thighs, and landed with a ' thump ' on the floor.

Spark made matters worse, he'd grabbed onto the man's leg with his powerful jaws, (installed with a clamping system 2 months ago).

" Gerroffhim Spark " Vicky protested, aiming kicks at the robot canine's head, his tail was wagging wildly, like he was enjoying it. The man was sobbing pitifully, and Vicky began to feel sorry for him, but as soon as Spark unclamped his jaws, the sobbing stopped, the man wiped away his tears and snot with the sleeve of his jacket, and fixed Vicky a suspicious stare.

" You didn't steal my cheeto supply did you? " He questioned, gesturing to the couch,

" So that explains part of the smell " Vicky thought to herself, pursing her lips in amusement.

" No, I didn't eat your cheeto supply " She laughed.

" Then why're you here " Said the man, he couldn't even begin to wonder why someone new was here, other than to commandeer his cheesy snacks.

Vicky put her hands in her pockets, discreetly searching for cigarettes, before answering " Goin' for the co chef vacancy "

She found herself mobbed by several people she didn't even know, most of which were crying in happiness. Vicky had nooo idea where the hell they'd come from, but was glad that she'd made a good first impression.
