Karmatic Institutions: Bucklers Log

A Great start to a Fine day

Buckler did not know how to feel as he stepped into the interview room. He knows he should be happy since he got the interview in the first place, but he also felt sad that he left his home, the last connection he had of his family. He shook himself into reality as he remembered what his mom would say, "Get off your chair and get a job! It's not like we can fund your antics anymore."While he was thinking, the interviewer walked in and introduced himself "Hello" he said in a deep voice "I'm Simon and I will be your interviewer" Buckler snapped back to reality, nearly dropped the folder his mom made for him. "I-I'm Buckler how are you"  He stammered as he shook Simon's hand, Simons reply was polite but awkward "I'm good thank you" After exchanging pleasantries Simon noticed the folder Buckler held. Buckler followed Simon's gaze and realized he didn't give his portfolio yet and handed it over to him. As Simon was reading it Buckler saw something in his eyes, was it wonder, surprise, or even....fear? Buckler thought about it and laughed at the thought of him or even his cursed gift to be the cause of fear. Simon abruptly closed the folder and said "You're hired"  Buckler was confused, he didn't even get to talk about his talents, not that he had any, but Buckler smiled because he knew that his mom helped him once again. As they were talking contracts Buckler was a bit confused. Simon noticed this and tried to help by asking "so how much do you want in your salary?" Buckler thought about it and asked, "Are there any alternate payment methods?" Simon was surprised at the normality of the question and replied: "yeah we can pay you electronically or in differe-" "no I mean like food and a house" Buckler said as he cut off Simon. "why not the kitchen, no one here can cook anyway" laughed Simon whose laughter slowly died as he saw Buckler nodding. "....ok I guess i'll show you to your....home I guess" Simon sighed with a look of defeat as they headed towards the building that will soon be Buckler's home.
