Joy's First Day pt. 2
by @anotherwvba
Monday, 9:56am
“Miss Swan?” A middle-aged man in a suit stepped out of a small conference room, Joy close behind, “Joy’s wrapped up all her new hire paperwork and is ready to go.”
“Excellent, Zach,” an easy smile crossed Melodie’s features as she stood. “Ow… we really need to get new chairs for the waiting rooms around here. These are stiff as a board.”
“You’ll have to take that up with Gabby,” Zach chuckled. “Something about proper posture and other stuff he said in French. I don’t know.” Zach then looked to Joy, “Now, Miss Pesca, be sure to log onto the company training server and complete your orientation videos before the end of the week. I.T. will issue you a laptop for you to use here and at home, just be sure to clock in online if you watch any of the videos away outside of your regular hours.”
“Sure thing, Mister Allan,” Joy answered crisply. Thank goodness this was normal, she thought, allowing herself to relax a little, Just like any other job I’ve had. Maybe that altercation I saw getting broken up was just a one-off.
“Miss Pesca? Did you hear me?” Zach asked.
Joy shook her head quickly, clearing cobwebs, then sheepishly smiled, “I’m sorry, Mister Allen. I was just thinking. You were saying?”
“Firstly, no more ‘Mister Allen’, please. Makes me feel old,” he smiled as he continued. “I was just saying that my business card is tucked in the front cover of your employee handbook. If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Alright?” Joy nodded as Zach extended his hand, “Welcome to the WVBA.”
Joy nodded her thanks with a smile as Melodie gestured toward the door leading to the hallway, “If you’re ready, Joy, we can head to I.T. and get your laptop and credentials squared away.”
“Sounds great, Melodie,” Joy said, opening the door to the hall. Then just as quickly…
“EEEEEK!!!”
Scared out of her wits, Joy jumped back so far and so hard, she nearly bowled Melodie over. Melodie quickly stepped in front of her and opened the door, looking around quickly. When she looked down, her shoulders slumped in seeming resignation.
Melodie turned back to Joy who was now catching her breath. “Joy, are you alright? I’m so sorry. I promise this doesn’t happen that often.”
“Wh-what d-did I just s-see?” Joy asked, clearly still rattled.
“Those,” Melodie opened the door, pointing to the small, furry creatures running down the hallway, “are squirrels.”
Joy slowly moved to Melodie’s side, cocking her head, “Squirrels? We have a squirrel infestation?”
“Oh… no, it’s not an infestation,” Melodie’s voice was calm and steady, trying to calm Joy. “Those squirrels… and that beaver… are Bear Hugger’s pets.”
“Umm,” Joy squinted her eyes in puzzlement, “is the beaver dragging something?”
Glancing down the hallway, Melodie’s eyes widened as her head followed a bouncing box down the hall. “Crap! Come on, Joy. I might need a hand.”
Melodie takes off and Joy quickly follows, “Is that a… boombox?”
“Not just any boombox,” Melodie answered. “It’s Disco Kid’s boombox. Now, hurry! Catch that beaver!”
To Be Continued

I don't normally share my artwork, mainly because I don't think it's that good. But, some recent encouragement (thanks Lukas) has inspired me not just to draw a little more, but to share what I feel are my little successes.
That said, here are Glass Joe and Von Kaiser as they appear in my stories. Joe is a little younger, just 20 or so fights into his career, and aspiring to live up to his idol Gabby Jay. Von Kaiser is a little older, retired, and serving as a youth coach at the WVBA Academy and as trainer to Niki Binary (one of my OCs).
Hope you like these and, if I draw more that I'm happy with, more may follow.
