Chapter 11: The Sable Ridge Apartments
After a short 15 minute drive the cab arrived at 1955 Cyprus Grove Lane. The cabbie pulled up in front of the building and put the cab in park, the kind raccoon driver turned to face her and in his heavy country accent said, "That'll be 6.25 ma'am."
Vivian once again could only blink in surprise at his extremely heavy country accent and handed him a ten dollar bill, saying as she did "keep the change sir and thank you."
The raccoon nodded twice and replied "much obliged, or thank you of you don't get the saying."
The raccoon then glanced at the building and said, "this is a great building, my troublesome younger brother lives here. So you a tenant here or looking to become one?"
Vivian looked at the building herself before replying "looking to become one…you mentioned you had a brother that lives here, does he work at Sparrowtail Industries?"
The raccoon nodded and answered, "yep near on everyone that lives here does. He works in the weapons tech area."
Vivian couldn't help but ask. "His name doesn't happen to be Meeko?"
The raccoon gave her a look of surprise and replied "well shoot, yeah that's my little brothers name. You a co-worker of his?"
Vivian gave a small smile and said, "I am now I suppose, I just got hired today. I haven't met him though, I just overheard an amusing phone call regarding him."
The raccoon almost excitedly turned to face her more and said, "well then congratulations! But you said you heard a amusing phone call? Mind telling me what it was about? I'm always eager to get more material to tease him with."
Vivian let out a little laugh and spent a few minutes telling the raccoon about what his bother did and at the end he was laughing heartily. "Hahahahaha Meeko and his two unsatisfiable appetites! Proving himself and snacks! Oh thank you for this I'll be sure to use this against him!"
Vivian smiled at the raccoon and as she started to get out of the cab and said "you're quite welcome, now you have a nice day."
The raccoon smiled at her and in his country drawl called out "it's impossible not now! Good luck on becoming a tenant here! Be warned! The landlord is apparently a little eccentric!"
She simply turned and have the raccoon cabbie a little wave in response and he pulled back into the bustle of they cities traffic.
As she turned back around Vivian took a moment to look at the building, it was a quaint brick complex only 6 stories tall. But the building was wider and longer than it was tall, each story but the first and sixth containing 20 apartments. The first floor only had about five apartments, the rest of it being a lobby and a full amenities gym including a swimming pool. There was a parking garage behind the building as well. Vivian wasn't sure why the sixth floor only had sixteen apartments but she didn't question it.
Vivian knew this quaint apartment building used to be sized for mammals of all sizes but when the current landlord took over they had it resized to fit small to medium large mammals. The reason why is because this building almost exclusively housed mammals that worked at Sparrowtail Industries and most of the mammals that worked there fit within that size range. It suited her just fine as it meant she would be able to meet and socialize with her coworkers more than just a brief pass by at work. The apartment apparently had almost weekly get togethers on the rooftop of which was made into a quaint hangout spot. All in all it was the perfect place to live, and if Jack was to believed she was guaranteed to get in. She was almost giddy.
As Vivian started to walk towards the open glass doors to the complex when she heard a very familiar voice. "Hey Viv wait up!"
Vivian stooped and pivoted to her right and saw her best friend Skye jogging up to her. They gave each other a quick hug before Vivian asked, "Skye what in the world are you doing here?"
Skye gave her a slightly confused look before replying "you didn't see my text? A water pipe busted at my work flushing the place out. So no work. So I figured I would join you in checking this place out. You said this place had several vacancies and honestly I HATE the complex I'm currently at. I know you also said this place is mostly mammals that work at Sparrowtail Industries, so my chances might be slim in getting in. But, I also HATE working at that dingy office so I applied for several different positions at several places for connected to, owned by, or just straight up Sparrowtail Industries. That's what I've been doing all day. I know it's not my dream job as a mechanic working on classic cars but it'll beat working where I'm at."
Vivian quickly pulled out her phone from her purse and sure enough there was a text from Skye laying out all she had just said and asking if she could join Viv in checking out the place. Vivian put her phone away and said, "shoot Skye I'm sorry I missed your text. It's been a busy day for me. Of course you can join me! I bet you could get your fuzzy white butt in here even if you didn't apply at Sparrowtail! But even so I'm glad your finally leaving that dingy office in that dingy cubicle surrounded by those dingy mammals!"
Skye gave her a small smile and replied "so am I. My dream can wait a little while longer, and if I get hired not near as long if I had stayed in that office. The pay Sparrowtail Industries gives out is almost double what I make now! With the extra funds I could easily afford renting here and starting college! Not to mention if I get into college my pay will increase thanks to that nifty program that was cooked up. That way I can get my degree and be one step closer to getting all greasy working on classic cars!"
Vivian gave her a smile and was about to say something when a thought popped into her head that she quickly voiced. "You know, I just might be able to help you get hired."
Skye raised an eyebrow at her and said, "oh, and just how could you do that?"
Vivian pulled her phone back out of her purse and replied "well not only did I get hired earlier, I also made a fast friend of the C.O.O of Sparrowtail Industries, a tanuki named Sarah. Who by the way I'm going out for drinks with Friday or Saturday and you were also invited. She just might be able to help you out."
Skye couldn't help her self dancing excitedly on her paws as her tail swished back and forth. "You really think she could help? And drinks? Heck yeah I'm in!"
Vivian let out a little laugh at her best friend and replied, "only one way to find out."
Opening up her phone she went to her newest contact and sent out a quick text. "Hey Sarah its Vivian. Got a sec?"
The reply was almost instant. "Sure Vivian, what's up?"
"Remember my friend I told you about earlier, Skye?"
"Sure do, what about her?"
"Well one she's in for drinks, I'm thinking Saturday would best. Secondly she just told me she applied at several places tied to, owned by, or straight up Sparrowtail. So I was wondering if there was anything you could do to help get her in?"
This reply took longer to come by, making Vivian worry she had overstepped the fresh friendship and such. But her worries went away when the reply finally came in. "Sure I'd be delighted to help her out! I just had to check with my wolf first. He said 'any friend of Jack is a friend of mine, and any friend of a friend of Jack's is also a friend of mine, so get her in here.' All I need is her full name and I can pull up her applications and put her straight through as long as she's properly qualified for the position she's applied for."
Skye, who was looking over Vivian's shoulder couldn't help but let out a happy squeak at reading the text Sarah wrote. Vivian was quick to type out her response. "Her full name is Skye Winters."
"Okay, a little later I will look her up and put her through. Now if you'll excuse me, I was in the middle of something with my wolf. I'll text you later Viv!"
Vivian immediately blushed at that last part of Sarah's text, she could only guess what it meant and if Vivian had to guess it wasn't PG rated. Shaking her head a little Vivian put her phone back into her purse and turned to face Skye who was doing what Vivian could best decide as a little happy dance as she spun in little circles.
Once Skye's happy dance was done she quickly gave Vivian a big hug before jumping back and still dancing on her paws said "thank you thank you thank you!" She than began strutting around singing "no more dingy office! no more dingy office! no more dingy office!"
Vivian couldn't help but laugh at her best friends antics. But she knew why she was so elated, Skye was many things, but she was NOT a desk mammal. Skye was all about getting down and dirty, regardless of her luxurious fluffy white fur and her keeping it immaculate 24/7. So whatever positions she applied for definitely weren't going to have her riding a desk, and if so at least it'd be out of the cramped cubicle setting. Which is about the worst place to put mammals like Skye.
Skye finally after a few more moments calmed herself down enough to rejoin Vivian at the open doors to the complex. Skye took Vivian's right arm and hook her in while saying, "ready to go in and tour your potential new home?"
Vivian nodded and simply replied "yep."
Then after another moment she added, "you know…several mammals today have told me the old wolf that runs this place is a little eccentric and an acquired taste. But, I'm best friends with you, so he can't be that bad." Skye's only reply was to lightly smack Vivian's arm before promptly dragging Vivian inside.
As they entered Vivian and Skye looked about the lobby. It was well sized so a wolf could be ridding on another wolf's shoulders and their head wouldn't even brush the ceiling. There was a lot of room, several chairs for varying sizes of mammals set to the left, past the chairs mailboxes for each of the apartments, there was receptionist desk to the right of the door. In front of them further down was two sets of staircases and set in-between them a giant elevator. Further down on the right was a wall of windows and a set of doors leading into the gym where they could see several mammals working out, several of them being foxes of varying species.
Suddenly their gaze was torn away by the sound of a drumroll playing and then a voice over the intercom. "Ladies and….well ladies! Introducing the one and only dashing, charming, and goood looking landlord to this fiiinnneee apartment complex…Marcus Oliver!"
Once the announcement was over the brown and black wolf jumped up from behind the receptionist desk holding a speaker in his left paw, drumsticks in his right paw, and a little drum set slung around his neck. He was dressed in a maroon colored suit with a purple vest and tie and wore a top hat with a maroon sash around it. He had this huge grin on his face as he stood there waiting for them to say something. For obvious reasons they were speechless.
Marcus Oliver stood there for another moment waiting for them to have some sort of reaction other than confusion and shock. "Sorry, did I drum it on you to hard?"
Marcus Oliver quickly slid a tiny cymbal into view and quickly hit the drums. *ba dum tsst* and then gestured with both paws, a drumstick in each one. "huh? Huh? No? Eh worth a shot."
Marcus then shrugged, slid the cymbal away, put down the drumsticks, and then took off the drum and tossed it behind him. It banging around as it landed. He then climbed over the desk and sat on top of it tossing away the top hat as he did, and stuck out his paw. "Marcus Oliver, impeccable dresser, as charming as I am dashing, comedic genius, and landlord of the Sable Ridge Apartments. And you are?"
Skye and Vivian could only stand there and blink in surprise for that moment, Vivian thinking, "okay I get what everyone's been saying. He IS a little….eccentric. Skye did NOT prepare me for this."
Skye meanwhile was debating whether or not coming here was a good idea. Regardless she recovered and stuck out her paw and shook Marcus' outstretched one. "Skye Winters, the still speechless vixen next to me is Vivian Wilde. She's looking to get a tour of the place, she's a potential new tenant. I'm just the best friend along for the ride currently."
Marcus smile somehow got a little wider and he replied, "no worries, I have that effect on the ladies…and well everyone else actually.…anyways! Glad to give you a tour of the place, show you some of the vacant apartments and such."
Skye nudged Vivian once as Marcus Oliver turned around muttering something about where he tossed his top hat and put his cane. That snapped Vivian out of it and she quickly apologized just as Marcus found his top hat. "I'm sorry Mr. Oliver about just gawking at you it's just…"
Marcus spun around on them placing his top hat back on his head and a simple straight black cane appearing out of nowhere. He twirled it a few times as he interrupted her with "I'm so good looking? Eccentric? Clinically insane?"
Once again Skye and Vivian could only blink. Vivian slowly finishing her sentence, "it's just you're not what I was expecting."
Marcus paused his cane twirling mid twirl and replied, "oh, well I get told that a lot too! Now follow me! We'll start this tour off by me showing you the gym! This way!"
Marcus then began walking towards the entrance to the gym, twirling his cane and humming a little tune to himself as he went. Vivian and Skye began tepidly following him, Vivian looked over at her best friend and mouthed. "This wolf is nutters!"
Skye rapidly nodded a few times and mouthed. "No kitting! There's no way he's the landlord! The local loony sure but not the landlord!"
Vivian shook her head at that and mouthed her reply. "I mean I wouldn't think so. But the CEO of Sparrowtail Industries told me the landlord was a kind old black and brown wolf named Marcus Oliver."
She then gestured to Marcus and mouthed. "He's a black and brown wolf bvh gnb named Marcus Oliver. Let's just see how this goes."
Skye shrugged and simply mouthed "okay, we'll see."
Vivian and Skye picked up the pace to catch up to Marcus as he reached the door. He quickly opened up for them and gave them a little bow, "ladies first."
Vivian and Skye walked into the gym, Marcus right behind them. Now that they were inside it they could see it really did have all the amenities. All the equipment you could think of for both the causal and the hardcore workout mammals. A whole bunch of weights and by them what looked like some punching bags and sparing equipment to the back right. Past all of the weights and machines and such was a separate area which contained a simple rectangular pool with a diving board.
As Vivian and Skye looked around the gym their eyes were drawn to the group of foxes working out. There were four of them, all tods and all shirtless as they used a mix of weights and equipments. All four of the tods were also different species of fox. There was an arctic, a marbled, a silver, and finally a red. All four of them were stealing glances at the two vixens, well accept the red fox tod, he was pointedly staring at Vivian with open interest.
While all four of these tods were very good looking both vixens weren't showing any interest of their own. While Skye did admit these tods were quite handsome she only had eyes for a certain striped jackrabbit. Vivian on the other paw was appreciating what she was seeing but not interested in any of them. She immediately dismissed looking at the marbled and the arctic fox as they were very clearly gay and a couple. The tip of the marbled foxes tail and long styled hair on his head was dyed rainbow and the arctic probably couldn't stop staring at the marbled's ass if their life depended on it. The silver fox while attractive was simply not her type.
The red tod on the other paw was clearly the most attractive of the group. He was muscular, lean, well groomed, his fur a lighter auburn and the cream fur on his chest fluffy and white. His eyes were a robin blue and he's ears were all the way the light auburn. His tail was tipped a rich white and on his face was lightly speckled with dots of black fur. All in all he was simply hot, and Vivian was honestly surprised she wasn't as interested or attracted in him as she thought she might be. As she looked at his form it suddenly clicked as to why, while he was indeed attractive she was comparing him to Jack. "He's too short, his fur color isn't that attractive, I wish his tails and ears were dipped black, blue eyes aren't that good looking."
Once she realized that she was dismissing the red tod because he didn't look enough like Jack, a fox she only knew a day Vivian chided herself. "Come on Vivian get yourself together! What am I doing! I'm thinking about Jack like some high schooler with a crush! Here I am looking at a handsome tod but giving him a critical eye just because he doesn't look like a tod I only met for a single day! Not to mention I hardly know anything at all about Jack! What is wrong with me!?"
Vivian was ripped out of her thoughts though when Marcus spun around them and exclaimed "so this is the gym! As you can see it really is a full amenities gym, there's even showers and such this way!"
Marcus then strode over to two doors to the left of the gym and tapped on them with his cane "see here! I've been even considering putting in some saunas!"
He gave them another big grin at that and was about to say something else when a clipboard in between the two doors caught his eye. Marcus gave the clipboard a curious look before setting his cane against the wall and picking the clipboard. He looked at it for a moment before putting it back and saying, "would you two fine ladies excuse me for just a minute? I need to check something."
Without another word or waiting for a reply Marcus picked his cane back up and strode into the right door designated for males. One the door swung shut Skye and Vivian turned their attention back to the foxes working out. Skye had to ask. "Okay that wolf that just went through the door, is he really the landlord of this place?"
At that all of the tods let out a collective laugh and once it was done the silver tod pointed a thumb to the door and said, "Old Marcus Oliver? He sure is."
At that Skye gave him a blank look. "Your kidding."
This time the arctic tod chimed in. "Nope, trust me when we first came here we were just as surprised."
Skye moved her paws about as she said her next words. "It's just that he's…."
All of the tods finished her sentence in different ways in the order of arctic, marbled, silver, and red. "Nuts?"
"Loony?"
"Completely off his rocker?"
"A little bit off?"
Skye looked at all of them before nodding once and simply saying "yes."
At that Vivian let out a little laugh and the red tod chimed in. "Ha, well allow me to introduce everyone, the dashing silver fox is Blake (Blake waves), the flamboyant marbled is Jimmy (Jimmy curtsies), the arctic who can't stop staring at Jimmy's ass long enough to acknowledge other mammals presences in the room is Jimmy's significant other Ben, (Ben let's out a accusatory 'hey!'), and I am Vincent, Vince for short."
Vivian waved herself and said "well hello all, my name is Vivian, my arctic compatriot is Skye."
Vince smiled at her and replied "it's a pleasure. You know, we all actually ran into you earlier today."
Vivian gave a small look of surprise at that. "Oh? When?"
Vince chuckled at that and replied, "it was at Sparrowtail Industries Headquarters. We were all on our way out the door when you walked by with our C.O.O Sarah. I happen to remember she was waiting for a vixen named Vivian to show up and apply, so I take it she was waiting for you?"
Vivian nodded and said, "yes I came in to apply and was also hired. I start in a week."
All four tods gave her congratulations in varying ways Vince being the loudest. "Hey that's great! Must have made an impression, the hiring process is rather quick but normally not that fast. So what's your field or position?"
"Oh I am now the CEO's secretary."
At that the four tods gave collective looks of surprise before they quickly settled. Jimmy saying "well look at you girl, strolled in like it was nothing. I'm impressed."
Ben nodded a few times and said, "ditto."
Vince smirked at her and folded his arms saying, "good, about time that position got filled. Was pretty sure for awhile there Mr. Wolfgang was gonna start ripping his fur out."
Blake nodded to Vince before focusing his gaze on Skye and said, "I'll second that. But I'm more curious about you Skye. What do you do?"
Skye gave Blake a look of surprise, she had been to busy imagining her striped jackrabbit stripping off his clothes to notice the silver fox tod Blake's interest in her. While it was flattering that she could still draw an attractive tods eye, well he just wasn't her type. "Well I just quit my job in a dingy office, and also just applied at several Sparrowtail locations for several positions. So I'm not quite sure yet…and by the way I am already a taken vixen."
Blake nodded at that and snapped his fingers. "Shoot, well whoever they are is sure lucky."
At that it went quiet for just a moment before Skye once again couldn't help but make Marcus the topic of discussion. "Okay so I can't get over this quite yet, Marcus really is the landlord? What's his story?"
The tods laughed once again at this, Vivian joining in this time. It was Vince who started. "Haha yes he really is the landlord. And by the way it's not Marcus, it's Marcus Oliver, or Mr. MO. The MO being an acronym for Marcus Oliver of course. He prefers it that way."
This time Vivian chimed in, "why does he prefer it that way?"
Vince nodded and replied "he said it's easier that way..how to word this next part….okay so you know his last name is obviously Oliver right?"
Vivian and Skye both replied "right."
Blake took over the next part by saying, "well you see no one actually knows if that's true or not. Oliver is as we all know is typically a first or middle name. But what's not commonly known is there is no Oliver wolf pack. So Oliver could very well be just his middle name…or his second name."
Ben chimed in next. "The latter being the more likely. He's basically got two personalities as it is."
Jimmy nodded in confirmation and added. "Sometimes he's Marcus, sometimes he's Oliver.""
Vivian and Skye exchanged looks before Skye asked, "which one is he now?"
All four tods answered in unison. "Marcus."
Vince added to it by saying, "he's definitely Marcus right now. If Marcus Oliver is dressed well ridiculously, is saying puns and corny jokes, is being loud, can't stop smiling and acting all happy..thats Marcus. If Marcus Oliver is dressed normally, is kind, open, sincere, gentle, serious, less exuberant…that's Oliver. But that doesn't mean he stays exclusively one or the other throughout the whole day, he's prone to go back and forth."
Vivian nodded a few times before saying "so he had D.I.D."
All of the mammals present except for Jimmy have her a look of confusion so Jimmy elaborated for her. "She means Dual Identity Disorder. Also known as Dual Personality Disorder. It's pretty self explanatory, a mammal that has more than one personality."
Everyone that was momentarily confused gave collective "ohs"
Meanwhile Vivian was impressed Jimmy knew what she was talking about. "That's exactly right Jimmy. How'd you know that?"
Before Jimmy could answer her Ben jumped in and answered, always happy to sing his mates praises. "It may not look it but my Jimmy here is one of Sparrowtail Industries top Biochemists! He even leads a team of about a dozen mammals in that field!" After he exclaimed that Ben wrapped Jimmy up in a hug, their tails intertwining.
Vince only chuckled at that and Blake rolled his eyes and said "oh get a room you two."
Ben simply snuggled into Jimmy more and replied "oh we already have one and plan to use it."
Everyone let out a laugh at that and once it subsided Vivian said, "that's really impressive. The top biochemist part not the I have a room and plan on using it part."
The four tods chuckled at the joke and Jimmy replied, "why thank you. Now about the D.I.D, I'm not entirely sure he has it. I mean it's the most likely option, but it could just be an act for comedy purposes. Honestly we just don't know, there is even a betting pool going."
Skye immediately after hearing there was a betting pool pulled out a 20 from her purse and said, "I got 20 on him having two personalities."
Vivian could help but laugh at her best friends antics before saying, "so we know what you do Jimmy, but what about the rest of you?"
Ben nodded and spoke first. "Well I am a secondary lead of a two dozen mammal team working on advanced prosthetics. I am in charge of the tech aspect not the medical."
Blake spoke next saying, "I work in the weapons and military technology divisions leading a team of six on advanced bomb detection and diffusion devices, we're pretty close to a working prototype for the former. The latter is naturally proving troublesome. But we're making progress."
Vincent finished it off. "I wish I was doing stuff as cool as they are. But I am a simple accountant."
Vincent was going to leave it at that but Jimmy wouldn't let him, "oh no you don't. Mr. Modest here is the LEAD accountant for Zootopia's branch of Sparrowtail Industries, in charge of over four dozen mammals within Zootopia's borders."
Hearing all of this warmed both Vivian and Skye's hearts. It was so amazing to hear foxes have such big and important roles in such a huge company. Things really were on the up and up for foxes and Sparrowtail Industries was a shining beacon for it. Skye let out a breath of awe and said "wow that is amazing. All of you have such huge and important jobs!"
Vivian couldn't help but agree with Skye, making eye contact with Vince as she said. "It really is impressive."
Vincent gave her a warm smile and replied. "Ah it ain't nothing, I'm just real good with numbers. All of us are just really good at what we do, Sparrowtail Industries gave us the chance to show that."
Vince looked like he had more to say but at that moment Marcus Oliver finally emerged from the men's room exclaiming. "I am so very sorry ladies to keep you waiting so long to see the rest of this fine establishment! But the work of landlord is never done! The men's room had not been maintained at all today as it properly should have!"
Marcus Oliver quickly stood back over to them and once beside them Vivian said, "it's no worry Mr..MO?"
Marcus Oliver gave Vivian a surprised grin and he exclaimed, "wellll now! I was worried I'd have to correct you on my namesake!"
Mr. MO then spun on Vince and the rest and said, "I guess you've been keeping these two company with some fiiinnneee conversation! Good on ya Vincent! Always the gentlemammal!"
Vince gave Mr. MO a smile and replied "it was my genuine pleasure."
Marcus Oliver then looked to the rest and gave them a bow. "And a hearty thank you to the rest of you as well!"
He was met with responses of sure, no problem, and happy to do it. Mr. MO looked at the group before giving them a mischievous grin. "So I take it I was a topic of discussion along with introductions hmmm?"
At that all the mammals became slightly nervous before he continued. "Well I can't blame you! I ammmm amazing!"
All the mammals present gave an internal sigh of relief, until he got and even more mischievous grin. "So! Blake!" At that Marcus Oliver pointed a finger at Blake causing him to let out a confused "yes?"
"I am sorry to inform you that this arctic beauty that's standing next to this red beauty is taken, spoken for, off the market…you get the picture. So I shall save you from trying to draw her eye now."
Blake's ears pinned behind his head in awkward confused embarrassment. Skye for her part was shocked that Marcus Oliver somehow knew she was taken, her Jack hadn't marked her yet and she carried no scent of him or and sort of trace…so how?
She couldn't muse on it more because Vince was next apparently. Mr. MO pointed sharply to Vince and shouted out "Vincent!" And for the briefest of moments Vincent was a kit again back at home getting called for. "Yes sir!?"
At that everyone including Marcus Oliver began laughing, Vincent's ears going back in embarrassment. Once Mr. MO finished his laugh he said, "1. No one here is EVER gonna let you live that one down. 2. This fine red beauty is siinngglleee and possibly ready to mingle! So I'll let that pot stir a bit! This has been Marcus Oliver, potential matchmaker. Goodnight everyone."
At this point Vivian was completely flustered and so was Vince by the looks of it, the rest chuckling at their expense. Of course Mr. MO gave Vivian and Vince no chance to get over it as he just bowled forward. Marcus Oliver grabbed a hold of Skye and Vivian's shoulders and began steering them towards the doors saying "Well okay mammals time to move this tour along! Once again thank you you fine gentlemammals for keeping them entertained while their main source was away! Say goodbye now!"
As Vivian and Skye were more or less pushed towards the doors the group of tods called out varying goodbyes, Vincent saying his last and adding to it.
"Uh, goodbye I guess."
"Catch you two later!"
"See ya around."
"Hey it was nice meeting you two! Hope you come to live here! And hey if you do there's a weekly get together going on on the roof Saturday!"
Before Vivian or Skye could reply, Marcus Oliver got them it the door. "Okay you two, lets go checkout the parking garage and then some vacant apartments!"
