The lobby of your corporation's megabuilding is built in the same style as most other corporate lobbies. Which is to say, it's ostentatious as heck. Like, just look at all of this polished stone! That stuff had to be imported!
The lobby's also depressing as heck. There's actually no sense of personality to this space at all, it's just a bland corporate entrypoint. The spot where your office drones head to first so they can take the elevators and stuff themselves in cubicles.
Well, at least the greeters are cuter~!
"Morning!" You cheer as you walk up to one of your maids. Ah, the sight of your cute cat-eared dears makes your heart sing. Their pretty faces make this entire lobby a brighter place~!
"Ah, mistress Alice!" The maid gasps as she turns around. The sound draw the attention of her compatriots, and soon you're being swarmed by cute catgirls.
"Mistress Alice is here!"
"Did you come to give us pats?"
"We love you, mistress Alice! We, like, totally adore you!"
"Please give us pats!"
Ah~!
So cute.
"Girls, girls," you coo, reaching out to muss the first maid's hair. Just that little bit of contact causes her to squee, look at you with adoring eyes. "As much as I appreciate the attention right now… I was told I had two new arrivals waiting for me?"
"Oh!" The first maid blinks. "Right, sorry. Kisha Stassov and her sister. Mistress, are they to become cute maids like us? Because if you need help subduing them, we have a security team on standby-"
"That won't be necessary, dear," you purr, reaching down now to cup the maid's chin. You give her a saucy, flirtatious wink. "But I appreciate the thought, Patty? Patricia? Sorry, I don't know if you prefer your nickname or - "
"You… Know my name?" Patricia the catgirl whispers with awe.
"Of course I do! I make sure to remember all my cute maids' names! Your sister Rebecca's right behind you. How are you doing? I hope you two are doing well! Are you getting enough to eat~?"
"Ye – Yes!" Patricia beams, her ears twitching happily as she basks in the brief amount of attention you're lavishing on her. "We're doing well! We always have enough to eat, and we get to sleep in warm beds, and… And…!"
"Aw, that's good to hear. Just let me know if you need anything else, okay? And I hope you're getting along well with your sister~!" You let out a warm, indulgent laugh.
Yeah, you hope she's getting along with her sister. In more ways than one~!
Hee. It might be worth putting them on night service, you certainly enjoyed the Virtusim footage of their… Induction into your maid corps...
"And then there's your friend Lily right behind you, and then Rin, Carla, Ava..."
"Mistress Alice knows our names! Kyah~!"
"She really does care about us!"
"Mistress Alice, are you going to give us pats when you're done meeting with the newcomers?"
"Mistress Alice, I love you~! I love working for you! I'll gladly work for you until the end of my days!"
"Hey, Lily, that's a bit grim isn't it…?"
"Sorry, I'm a bit busy myself right now. But I'll definitely come see you all when I'm done, okay? Keep up the good work!" You grin. "But don't forget to take breaks! It'll make me sad if you overwork yourself, got it?"
"Okay~!" All the catgirl maids cheer.
Ah~!
So adorable.
But as much as you'd like to indulge in fluffles and pats, you have to hold yourself back. There's another reason why you're here. They're waiting in the lobby.
"I don't like this Kisha; it smells. Let's just bail already!" You hear as you approach your new visitors.
"Sis!" You hear your soon-to-be pet whine. "Stop being like this. Isn't it enough that I let you escort me to my first day at work? Alice is okay!"
"Your precious Alice is a goddamn corpo-cunt," you hear Kisha's sister snarl. "Probably a fucking perv, too. Why else would she have these goddamn catgirl maids everywhere…"
How rude!
You suppose it's accurate, but like, what the heck's wrong with a healthy dose of perversion anyways? Gosh, people these days continue to have such outmoded opinions on sex and intimacy! No wonder the birthrates just keep going down across the world!
"The maids are nice!"
"They're creepy as shit, Kisha! She probably brainwashed them; that's why they're so freakin' happy all the time. Nobody's this happy regularly. Nobody!"
"She could have just given them good working conditions! You saw my contract!"
"Your contract's totally unreal! 32-hour working weeks? Unlimited PTO to accommodate your disability? Platinum-tier Medical Insurance all on the company's dime? A goddamn retirement plan? Stock options? A fucking car, Kisha. She gave you a car! She had one of her corposlaves send you a fucking car!"
"A car I had to talk you out of dismantling! Shut up, she's here…"
"Indeed I am! Hey, hey!" You cheer, waving at Kisha. She smiles, gives a tentative wave back… Oh, is that a light blush on her cheeks too? She must remember the nice kiss you gave her when last you spoke.
Heh.
Now, is it worth trying to break her mind and turn her into your pet today…?
Oh, and then there's Kisha's sister. Primal Huntress in her civilian guise. She's lost her cat-ears, and she's wearing clothing that's far more conservative… But she's still a pretty cute girl. It's actually adorable how she's made to stand in front of her sister as you approach, as if she's trying to shield her sister with her own body.
Ah, what a nice bond these two have.
It'll be so nice twisting and corrupting that bond…
"Nice to meet you too. You're Kisha's sister, right?" You ask.
"... Sure," Kisha's sister spits out. You let your smile dim, even as sadistic amusement begins to fill your heart. Wow, this girl just does not like you. You can work with that though. It's always the stronger-willed ones that break in all kinds of fun ways once you've had your way with them~!
You're one for three on the junior Magical Girls in this city. Heavenly Testament is having a divine time getting her cute brains scrambled by the lovely tentacle pods you've got set in the basement. She'll decant in a week, you'll be there to see exactly how she's further broken. There to pick up the pieces and put them back together however you want. Ah, you can't wait to play with your new adoring worshipper. Can't wait to hear her lovely voice vocalize your name as she screams out in ecstasy…
The point is, you're one for three. You'd very much like to collect the full set at some point! Which means you'll just have to break Primal Huntress to your will. Or perhaps get her to corrupt herself somehow. Use her sister as leverage perhaps?
Hmm…
"Sis!" Kisha whines out, wheeling around to slap her sister on the shoulder. "You told me you'd be nice! I'm so sorry, mistr- I mean, miss Alice. Sveta's not normally this rude…"
Hey, you caught that little slipup! Wow, Kisha really must've been thinking about you. Well, it helps that your lovely essence continues to circulate throughout her body. Frankly, you're just impressed she's managed to keep it together for this long. If you didn't know any better, you'd say that she's acting completely normally.
Ah, she's such a cute find too~!
You can't wait to debauch her. Utterly defile and molest her…
"It's fine, it's fine. I get it. If I were her, I wouldn't trust me either. But did the girls get you checked in?"
"Yes!" Kisha beams, holds up her new company badge. Officially, she's part of Kyodyne Biotech's Counterintelligence squad. Unofficially, well, you have other ideas in mind for this girl…
"That's great to hear. Alright, I'll show you to your office then. You want me to wheel you into the elevator, or - "
"I'll escort my sister, thank you very much," Sveta Stassov snarls.
"I wasn't aware I'd hired you too," you comment idly, humming to yourself. "But do you want a job too? Should have some openings available, what's your field of work?"
"Sis, you promised me…" Kisha sighs, cradling her head in her hands.
"I promised you I'd try to be on my best behavior. And I am," Sveta grumps. "And seriously, hiring me? Are you for real?"
Okay, this is clearly getting you nowhere. Gosh, this Primal Huntress is a prickly pear, isn't she?
Well. That's okay.
You can work with this…
