"Whaddya mean someone tore down the decors and bulletins again?" Ryohei demanded indignantly on the phone as another one of his employees sniggered about one thing or another. He waved the guy away and turned in his seat, glancing at the paperwork the man had left behind. Today's delivery report. Right!

More importantly: "Well, put them back up!" he rumbled. "It's a waste if they're all over the floor all the time!"

He was going to have a word with management about this or something. Clearly damaging Vongola properties..!! The nerve!

He was starting to get amazingly sick of hearts, and what made things far worse than they already were was the fact that they were everywhere in HIS building. Hibari Kyouya stalked through the corridors leading up to his office, occasionally reaching out to tear down the decorations that he come across. It was much too early in the morning for this sort of thing, and the fact that he always woke up with a low blood pressure-induced headache was not helping.

[extremeonwheels]

It was at that moment that Ryohei turned the corridor into the other management staff's offices, striding through the much-abused hearts and other decor on the ground.

"Aha! So you're the one destroying company properties!" he exclaimed, not really recognizing Hibari from all the way over THERE. Anyway, too much paper flying around.

[derridamustdie]

There was only one person who could have a voice that loud and annoying first thing in the morning. Hibari ripped one last heart off the bulletin board and straightened up, cocking an eyebrow in Ryohei Sasagawa's direction.

"And what if I am?"

ELEVATOR TIMEZ AT THE MILLEFIORE.

[cueitup]

He was the first supervisor in the building, as always, and from the way he carried himself at that moment, one would have found it hard to believe that he had actually been up since 3 AM, doing the rounds just like his subordinates, double-checking everything. He was hungry now, however, and even a machine like him needed a little bit of rest.

Gamma pressed the 'DOWN' button on the elevator and stepped back, using the shiny elevator doors as his mirror as he adjusted his suit and checked himself over. A quick breakfast was in order. He could go back to being an overachieving, scary motherfucker after some bacon and eggs.

FFFFFFFF HELLO THERE. *PINS AGAINST ELEVATOR WALL*

Uni was aware that Valentine's Day was just around the corner, of course, but she didn't really give it much thought outside the context of what the company had to do to promote its books (and perhaps throw publicity events) for the occasion. The flowers at her apartment were annoying, and so was the constant barrage of pink, but she could ignore them without too much effort. Uni was very good at ignoring things, after all.

Her arms were too weighed down by papers and bound manuscripts for her to take the trouble of trying to press the button for the elevator devoted to her floor, so she stepped into the first lift that presented itself. It was really not her fault that she was too preoccupied with thinking about work to check whether anyone was inside. It was still very early, anyway.

So of course she had to bump into the elevator's occupant. "Ah, I'm sorry--"

!!!!!!!!! *Ahn~*

[cueitup]

He moved first, automatically stepping in to support the small figure that had just bowled into him and alternately steady all of the stuff the other was carrying. He looked afterward, and found himself staring into a very familiar pair of eyes.

"...Ah. Good morning, Princess."

*RAVISHES*

[onlyluminous]

"Eh--" Uni blinked, tried to recover her balance, found herself leaning against a (rather familiar, if she did say so herself) form, and automatically smiled. "Gamma!"

She gave him a look that might have seemed cursory to some but did, in fact, take in all the relevant details about him. "You're working early today."

In a way, it might have been easiest to leave things to Lippi. After all, being his personal assistant meant that he was tailored to such things and Byakuran would likely see to it that Lippi was sent out on similar quests later on that day. But, for now, Byakuran insisted on taking his time, exploring the strip malls and other such features of Namimori's urban landscape.

He didn't have to be at the office until late and it never hurt to make Lippi squirm a bit, especially with the sorts of memos Byakuran left long after the other had taken his leave for the day-- and Byakuran always made a habit of wrapping up just as the other was simply to frustrate him.

But for now, Byakuran was on his own, scouring the local grocer's for a cheap snack-- gummies seemed to be a favorite of his lately, but as he browsed he couldn't help but become intrigued by a set of more traditional Japanese sweets.

Don't expect 69 to be carrying your sweets, 100-san. >:

He probably shouldn't have left just yet, but a short walk to get some air was doing him good. The pile of paperwork and all the chatter about Valentine's Day was a bad mixture for Mukuro and he was definitely sick of the colors red and pink. But he knew it couldn't be helped until the holiday was over. He could only hope it would bypass quickly.

For now he'd try to find something that would last him throughout the day. Something to munch on or some kind of drink, Mukuro wasn't sure what he wanted just yet, waiting for something to present itself during the time limit he'd set himself before going back to the office. However, the PR head didn't expect to see this.

"Byakuran-san, a coincidence I'm sure."

Ohoho~ :3 We'll see about that.

[srslyevilbzns]

Byakuran paused at the familiar voice. Now, this was a surprise to see the other out and about. It was rare, indeed, that he met anyone while shopping, for better or worse, but to meet the man he'd moved so quickly to obtain after certain forces had taken the bookstore quite literally out from beneath his feet while on such a mundane errand... Ah, perhaps today was promising to be a bit more interesting than he had suspected it might be.

"Mu-chan," he smiled, replacing a bag of sweets to turn and greet the other with a casual, if blank smile, "This is quite a surprise. Shopping for the holiday?"

>>>: That's Leo's job though.

[manipulater]

"Not at all," Mukuro replied, a grin though there wasn't any humor in his expression. He wasn't expecting to meet Byakuran, his employer, on a small trip like this. Dual eyes glanced around and noticed just where the other man, and coincidentally he, was standing.

Sweets, hm. Why am I not surprised.

His gaze shifted back to Byakuran, tinges of amusement appearing. "How about yourself, Byakuran-san?"

There was something satisfying about balancing the books. Every time Marmon reached the end of an account and the figures were the same, he couldn't help but feel accomplished. And there was rarely a time when things didn't come out balanced. He was proud of that too. Finally finished reconciling the month of January, he tidied his desk a bit gathering the loose bits of paper and stacking them together.

Taking the necessary files, he stuffed them into a manila envelope to file away. Picking up the envelope, Marmon stood up from his desk and made his way towards where all the paper work was stored. Everything was organized into months and separated into boxes according to year. Pulling out the box for 2009, he dropped the envelope inside. There, he was done. For now.

Hearing the door opening behind him, Marmon turned around. Seeing Xanxus walk in, Marmon nodded his head slightly in acknowledgment and said, "Hello Boss. What are you doing here?" It was odd seeing the boss in the finance office since he was rarely in there. He hoped he wasn't going to get in trouble or anything.
