Date/Time: November 8, 2008
Location: In a meeting room somewhere in Shinra
Rating: PG-13, Language
Summary: Rufus lays down the law, and is acting much different from normal.
Rufus: *is already in the room, waiting on the rest of the Turks who seem to be taking their time---except anybody who was already in the room*
Rude: *is already there, straightening his tie >_>;;;* ...
Reno: *slouches in, like a man heading to the gallows*
Tseng: *standing very still and silent*
Agon: *sits in a chair, waits*
Vincent : -Had previously gone outside to smoke half a packet of cigs after talking to Rufus, but is back now...chewing gum.-
Vossler: *arrives, standing awkwardly by the door*
Kanda: *Comes in and leans against the wall, not sure what is going on.*
Seph: *comes right in, not fearing anything at all and heads near to the front, leaning against the wall near Rufus and wrinkling his nose at Vincent's scent*
Vincent : -Has the odd thought of, 'How many Turks can you fit in a sardine tin'-
Albel: *comes in and sits away from wherever Agon is, out of distaste*
Irvine: *wanders in, taking off his hat and leaning against the wall*
Hwoarang : -Panics because he thinks he's late and practically falls into the office. Straightens up and looks around sheepishly.-
Agon: *shifts uncomfortable in his chair, has a hangover the size of tokyo, doesn't let it show*
Tseng: *remaining perfectly still with his arms still behind his back, only glancing around when others move or enter the room*
Rufus: *leaning against a whiteboard or something in the front of the room, and when he sees that everyone is gathered--minus Basch, of course-- *he glances up at the clock as Hwoarang rushes in* Glad to see you were all on time. *voice is cold, unimpressed--certainly much different than before*
Reno: *has a look of surprise on his face and also of "Oh shit" and feels as if his stomach just dropped out*
Agon: *looks at Rufus and thinks he's grumpy*
Albel: *raises an eyebrow, intriguied*
Vossler: *psssh is never late, son*
Vincent : -Keeps his eyes on the floor.-
Kanda: *Quirks a brow*
Hwaorang : -Looks like a deer caught in headlights.-
Agon: *gestures at Reno because he reconizes him, quickly turns to Rufus again*
Rufus: All of you. Sit. *orders coldly, though this doesn't apply to Vincent or Sephiroth*
Kanda: *Blinks, but does as ordered.*
Tseng: *must fight the overwhelming fatherly urge to be near Rufus as he seats himself next to Agon*
Rude & Vossler: *move to sit down silently*
Irvine: *looks around, surprised by Rufus's sudden change in temperament, but sits anyway.*
Hwoa : -Sits, still looking more than a little scared. Feels like this is his first detention.-
Reno: *does so instantly*
Agon: *glances at Tseng, reconizes him as Tseng because of the dot between his eyes*
Vincent : -Picks at imaginary bits on the sleeve of his jacket.-
Rufus: Do any of you have any idea why I called you here? *keeps a small smile on his face, his tone deceptively friendly though his eyes are not*
Kanda: *Doesn't have any idea, but doesn't make it look that way, as icy as usual*
Vossler: *doesn't reply kthx, just stares blankly*
Rude: ...
Tseng: *glances at Agon then focuses back on Rufus*
Hwoa : -Swears that Rufus' attitude could easily rival Baek's, so stays silent.-
Rufus: *the corner of his mouth turns up just a little more in a smirk* No? Shall I tell you then? *pacing around the front of the room, a finger sliding over the table as he moves* The lot of you have become increasingly unprofessional lately. I'm displeased with your results.
Agon: *saw that one coming*
Rufus: There are, of course, a couple of rare exceptions, but over all, I find myself disappointed.
Vincent : -Looks away slightly with a frown. And his poor nose bandaged up.-
Kanda: *His expression doesn't change, but he's surprised, wondering what the fuck brought this on all of a sudden.*
Tseng: *remains for the most part unchanged; following Rufus with his eyes*
Albel: *represses a sigh, doesn't want to sit through a lecture on how much his co-workers obviously suck*
Vossler: ... *is seriously wondering whats bringing this about, and merely watches him*
Reno: *staring really intently at the table*
Irvine: *knew about a couple things lately, but otherwise just blinks in surprise.*
Seph: *frowns, unused to this side of Rufus, and hopes he isn't about to pull out a machine gun and fire them all while laughing manically*
Hwoa : -Missing half of what's being said because he isn't 100% with the language 8D wonders what he'll have for dinner.-
Rufus: *frowns at Hwaorang's smile, and gives Reno a cold look, his tone special ice reserved for him* Reno!
Reno: *jumps* Sir?!
Rude: *glances up, frowning*
Agon: *frowns a bit*
Tseng: *unsurprised*
Rufus: ~_~ Translate for the rookie.
Hwoa : -Frowns.-
Reno: *gets up and moves to sit next to Hwaorang, and quietly explains the situation*
Hwoa : -LIGHTBULB.-
Hwoa : Ah...sorry -sheepish smile.-
Vossler: *rolls his eyes*
Rufus: *once Reno has him caught up, continues on talking* I had, of course, expected better from all of you. You're all talented--that's why you were chosen, after all. I suppose, however, that disappointment is my punishment for daring to expect only the best.
Agon: *smirks at the word talented, shrugs at the rest*
Kanda: *Frowns slightly, unsure where this is going.*
Tseng: *more annoyed with the fact that Rufus has to deal with something like this than anything else*
Vincent : -Forgets about his nose for a second and has an itch, goes to scratch it but jerks and winces quietly.-
Rufus: A new system has been discussed and will be implemented starting today. *gestures for Vincent to pass the memos around the table*
Vincent : -Nods once and hands them out to everyone before coming back.-
Rufus: Take a moment to read those over. It's fairly self explanatory, but are there any questions?
Rude: *looks at the memo all wtf behind his sunglasses*
Tseng: *skimming*
Agon: *reads it* Aaa...gotta get my shit together...not?
Vossler: *is reading too, that's right, he's literate*
Vincent : Starting now would be great.
Reno: *gets as far as the dress code and... D8 Jaw drops, wibbles, makes a noise of protest*
Hwoa : -Snickers at his PAIN.-
Albel: *looks over it, whatev. doesn't see the big deal*
Agon: The suits can be a little less fucking itchy
Reno: *glares at Hwaorang and raises his hand*
Tseng: *doesn't even glance up from skimming the paper at Agon's comment* . . .
Rufus: *coldly* Then have it properly dry-cleaned. Yes, Reno.
Kanda: *reads the memo, blinks, but says nothing.*
Reno: *has a protective hand on his goggles and asks quietly* Does this include head gear? *sad face*
Rude: *snorts*
Hwoa : -Biting his lip to stop from laughing out loud.-
Rufus: *rolls his eyes* Did you even finish reading the sentence?
Agon: *agrees with Reno, thinks of his own shades*
Vincent : Perhaps, it should be read through, and some points explained...so everyone can perhaps, understand?
Rufus: ....*sighs* I guess since I'm not taking away anybody's sunglasses, you can keep your damn goggles.
Reno: 8D
Rude: *smalllllll victorious grin*
Irvine: And I can keep the hat? *Looks hopeful*
Albel: *mutters* Why, do you have a bald spot?
Vincent : It says in the presense of the President of his comapny guys..
Agon: *still doesn't like Vincent*
Tseng: *has since finished skimming and is now tuning out the drabble until Rufus's voice becomes more authoritive again*
Vincent : Not every waking moment at work, you can not wear this and that.
Seph: *hears Albel and snickers*
Agon: *looks at Rufus, raises a hand*
Hwoa : -Reaches over and takes off Reno's goggles.- ........Okay no...you look stupid without them...
Rufus: ~_~ *takes on his "I sign your paychecks, fuckers" voice again* When you are in the presence of guests, I expect you do to do as you always have, and wear your uniform properly without any accessories-
Reno: HEY! GIVE THOSE BACK!
Rude: *raises an eyebrow, glancing over at the speshul corner*
(Editor’s note: At some point in the chat, it was determined that Reno and Hwaorang’s corner of the room was “speshul.”)
Hwoa : -Dangling them above his head and stops looking at Rufus and quickly brings his arm down.-
Rufus: *gives Hwaorang and Reno and very, very nasty look, and makes it clear through the movement of his jacket that he does have his shotgun on him* May I have some quiet?
Hwoa : -Doesn't give them back though.-
Vossler: *staring at Rufus, kind of disturbed to see him acting like his father*
Kanda: *Isn't overly impressed with the whole thing, but he abides by the rules in most cases anyway*
Tseng: *now at full attention again*
(Editor’s note again: I just want to know how any of us missed the chance for a penis joke right there.)
Hwoa : -Puts them on instead and pushes his hair back.-
Rufus: Hwaorang. Give him back the goggles. *said with strained patience*
Agon: *looks at Hwaorang* Aaa...leave Reno alone...
Hwoa : -Sighs and takes them off.- (Korean tiems) Shut up Monkey Man -Small smile.-
