Hazed Sights

She really should’ve expected this. It was only natural since she was a new comer to the office, bottom rung and all that. Hazing was just a natural thing that happens when you have such a hierarchy in place. It happened when she was in Paris as well. But then again in Paris she had been new, right out of the academy and just a junior who was still wet behind the ears. So she just rolled with it, the hazing had simply been switching around the tags on a few filing cabinets so she ended up getting confused by where everything was.

But this was a whole new level of hazing. Probably a result of the entire reason she was even in London branch in the first place. Sighing deeply she leaned against her desk and unlaced her shoes, kicking them aside as she kept her eyes closed. The hazing this time was that her glasses had been hidden. She had taken them off for a moment while in the bathroom to wash her face and they had been snatched away. Cracking an eye open for a moment she gave a low groan at how blurry her sight was.

“Alright, they’re either way up high, on someone’s person, or is someplace really stupid.” She counted off to herself. Taking a steadying breath she opened her eyes and attempted to check the general area for her glasses, using her desk as a middle point so she had some grounding. Granted everything just looked like a giant blur now. And this had it’s own problems beyond finding her glasses, and one presented it. “Baiser!” She cursed as her knee slammed into another desk in the office.

“I’m starting to hate today.”Laurence muttered softly as she rubbed her knee tenderly.

∞ Alan knew the drill all too well. Someone would take the foreign transferee's glasses and hide them in a spot which they could not reach. The short young man let out a sigh as he pulled a ladder along to look for Laurence's glasses. He had received the exact same treatment when he had transferred, and according to Eric, had they known that Alan was a Born reaper they would have treated him far differently when he transferred. That made him glad that he had kept that fact as secret as he could, it did not seem fair if someone was treated different for who they were.

Which brought him back to Laurence. He had noted that the others were being extra cruel to her, and he guessed it had to do with the scandal surrounding her transfer. He gave her the benefit of the doubt. In his mind she was innocent until proven guilty, and if anything she had been proving herself innocent.

He heard her say that she was hating the day and smiled, giving a small laugh, but not in a rude way. "Conozco ese sentimiento." He placed the ladder against the wall and went over her way. "You do not mind if I check your knee? As a cruel joke sometimes the others make sure to add somethin' to the edge of their desks that will do more than just bruise yah."
