Xisuma walked closer to the building. He honestly found it kinda ominous to have a perfectly clean facility hidden in the middle of the woods, but no matter. He placed his hand on the door handle when it made a loud beep. "AH!" Xisuma fell backwards. He swore he heard a faint laugh before a light beamed green for a second and the door clicked open. Inside was a desk with no one behind it. It seemed to be a waiting room, similar to that of a hospital. Creepy. Xisuma brushed off his, now dirty, lab coat. He was truly excited when he woke up for the interview that morning, now he was wishing he hit snooze on his alarm. Well, he was here now and there was no going back.
Xisuma went to the desk and bent over it, looking behind the wooden curve. "Hiya!" "ACK-" Xisuma fell again. He heard the same laugh coming from the figure. They had short black hair, his bangs in a tuft to the right of his face. He had a white lab coat, but Xisuma thought he could see a light blue underneath the back. "Sorry, sorry." They said, still chuckling slightly. "No one's ever had that reaction to me." "Oh, uh, sorry." Xisuma said. "No worries! It was actually quite entertaining." They smiled. Xisuma was about to say something but the person spoke instead. "I'm guessing you're Xisuma?" Xisuma stood up. "Yeah, how'd you know?" "I'm Cub, the one doing your interview." Cub stuck out his hand. Xisuma hesitated before shaking it. "If you'd follow me, I can show you the interview room." Xisuma nodded before smiling.
He regrets that.
They both do.
