The Misadvetures of Seraphim Part 2

Unsure of what awaited him inside Seraphim pushed the push bar and opened the door. As walked inside he was greeted with the sight of what looked like a waiting room. He looked around and saw that in front of him there was a short hall leading to a black door with a small window. He guessed that door led to the front of the building. To his left there were two couches set in an L formation around a small table that had a few magazines on it. Along the left wall beyond that there was another short hallway that led to a set of metal double doors. In the back left corner right next to the hallway he saw a well built black wolf sitting at a small security station with a bunch of monitors showing video feed of various locations of the island. The wolf who was drinking coffee looked either really bored or tired it was hard to tell with it being very early. Seraphim walked up to the station and greeted the wolf, "Excuse me." The wolf looked at him with an unchanged expression, "Can I help you kid?" "Again with the kid!" _Seraphim thought as he looked at the wolf's name tag on his security uniform. "Ya uhh... Jerry, my name is Seraphim, today day is my first day working here and I was told I needed to speak with someone named Selvester." Jerry took a sip of his coffee and set it down before saying, "Oh, your one of the new general labor guys." He pointed to the hall to Seraphims left and said,"Go through those doors and his office is on the right. He's a big brown bear so you can't miss him." "Ok, thanks." Seraphim replied. "No problem kid, now move along your in the way of my show." Seraphim turned around to see a T.V. he had some how failed to notice before. " Your kidding me." He said as he saw what the wolf was watching. "You watch Bob Ross?" He questioned while gesturing to the man painting what he was referring to as "Happy, happy little trees." in the calmest voice anyones ever heard. "Ya, why you gotta problem Bob Ross?" Jerry replied while cocking an eyebrow. "Uhh no, thanks again!" Seraphim said as he made his way to the double doors down the hall. _"I didn't know anyone really watched Bob Ross." He thought as he pushed through the double doors.

He entered a much larger room that had a bunch of forklifts in one corner of the room, A smaller area next to them that had a bulletin board and was sectioned off with small concrete pillars that were about waist height, and to his right sure enough there was a small office with a rather intimidating looking brown bear in a black work coat that said "HTH Staff Supervisor" that had to be at least three or four times his size sitting at a desk with his attention glued to a computer monitor. "Damn, that wolf was right! I'd have to be blind to miss that guy, he's huge!" _ Pushing his fear aside he made his way to the door of the bears office. The bear didn't seem to notice him so Seraphim gave a few knocks on his door. He looked up to see Seraphim standing there, He then motioned for him to enter. _"Here we go." He thought as he entered

As Seraphim closed the door the bear greeted him in a deep intimidating voice, "Hello, you must be Seraphim I'm Selvester. I'm the HTH general labor shift supervisor and will be your team leader." As Selvester finished he held out his hand to Seraphim, _"Jesus his even his hand is huge!" _He thought as he shook the bears hand. "Please have a seat." Selvester said motioning to one of the two chairs in front of his desk. As Seraphim sat down he continued, "Now I understand you already have experience in operating heavy equipment such as forklifts." Seraphim nodded, "Good now I'll be honest we are short staffed as of right now, so your most likely be working long hours very early on but we're going to try to bring you upto speed as fast as we can so I hope you'll be able to handle it."

"Well thats how my last job was so I should if you have a good trainer." Seraphim replied.

"Good, speaking of which let me get your trainer in here now." Selvester the picked up his phone and dailed the number for the intercom, "Matt Sallas, please come to the general labor office." As he hung up the phone he continued with Seraphim, "Now that we're waiting for your trainer let me go over what your gonna be doing." Seraphim nodded as he continued, "Now as the general labor team we're mainly responsible for receiving and distributing various food, and other products to the local buisinesses around the Sapphire islands."

"Can't the trucks just deliver them directly to the buisinesses?" Seraphim questioned.

"Normally that is how it works, but since this island isn't that big there isn't enough space to make roads big enough to be able to accomadate the trucks and not interfere with civillian walk ways and areas, so we receive the product at a small warehouse and distribute them using forklifts on small paths out of the way civilian walk ways." Selvester explained, "Now that is our main job but as I said we are short staffed so sometimes we will have to help out with the islands sanitation team and stay to help out with second shift distribution, and if were snowing like it was supposed to, sometimes help clear snow out of the paths." Selvester finished,

" You guys are really that under staffed?" Seraphim asked.

"Unfortunatley yes I know it seems kinda ridiculous but we doing our best to hire more people so the work load won't be that bad for long, which is why I'm hoping you'll stick with us while we sort it out. So can I count on you to be able to put up with it until then? Selvester asked hoping this wouldn't drive him away.

With a small sigh Seraphim replied, "Well I really need a job right now so I guess I'm gonna have to." Selvester was glad to hear his answer, " I'm happy to hear that! I promise were gonna try to get more people in as soon as possible!" As Selvester finished Seraphim heard the door behind him open. "Ahh there's your trainer now!" He said, Serafin turned around and saw his trainer. He was a black panther wearing blue winter coat, blue jeans, with red and white baseball cap backwards on his head complete with a pair of square hipster style glasses. "Matt this is Seraphim, Seraphim this is Matt he'll be training you." As Selvester finished Seraphim stood up and shook the panthers hand _"Finally someone who isn't freakishly huge." _He thought as they shook, "Alright Matt we're pretty much finished take him to the break room so he can put away his lunch and meet the rest of us back out in the meeting area for our shift meeting." Matt nodded as Selvester finished.

"Alright then let me show you around man." Matt said while leading Seraphim out of the door. As they made their way to the break room Matt said, "I know I'm probablly gonna sound stupid for asking this but what was your name again?"

"It's uh, Seraphim... Andres." He answered

"Hmm... thats a unique name." Matt said in return.

"Yeah, I know my name is kinda weird." Seraphim replied

"It's not weird, I think it's kinda cool!" Matt complimented,

"Uhh, thanks." Seraphim said as they came to the door of the break room. As they entered a gorilla dressed in a black work coat, with black pants sitting at one of the round tables looked up at them and smirked, "Well looks like we got some fresh meat today!" He said in a low raspy voice as he went to take a hit from his vape pen. As he said this a red dragon dressed in dark blue coat and pants, who was pouring himself some coffee turned to see who the gorilla was referring to.

"Well looks we are gonna have some fun today! we don't see very many humans around here." The dragon said with a smug smile.

"Take it easy guys, we don't need you two scaring off another newbie again!" Matt interjected. With both of them giving him a small chuckle Matt continued, "This is Seraphim, Seraphim let me introduce you to HTH's dynamic dumbasses!" He pointed to the gorilla,"That's Shane, he's a crazy and disgusting fuck so don't be suprised if he does or says anything stupid, weird or crazy."

"Speakin of which! Ey newbie ya got any vicodin on ya by any chance?" Shane asked, causing Seraphim to give him a shocked look.

"Shane stop it your gonna scare him!" Matt interjected again.

"Ok, Ok! It's alright kid I already have some anyway!" Shane said laughing as he made his way out of the room.

"Uhhh, is he serious?" Seraphim asked with a worried expression.

"No he's not, he just likes scaring people." Matt responding hoping to calm him down.

"Ehh, I don't know Matt! You know I've seen Shane drinking on the clock!" The dragon said with a smirk.

"Seraphim this is HTH's biggest asshole, D.Y.H he just likes to start trouble so try to steer clear of him." Matt said with an unamused expression.

"His name is really D.Y.H?" Seraphim asked with a confused look.

"No it's just that dragon names are usually very difficult to pronounce, and his is no different so everyone here just calls him by his initials D.Y.H." Matt answered as D.Y.H walked up to Seraphim and shook his hand.

"Don't worry kid I'm sure we'll get along just fine!" D.Y.H said as he walked for the door. "And don't worry, I'll try extra hard to not accidentally kill you!" he finished causing Seraphim to gulp.

"Pay him no mind, like I said he's just an asshole that likes to start trouble." Matt said trying to keep Seraphim calm. He then showed him the break rooms fridge and Seraphim put his lunch box away in it.

"Are they the only other guys here?" Seraphim asked while closing the fridge door.

"No there's more guys outside in the smoking area." Matt responded.

"Oh, so what am I gonna be doing today?" Seraphim asked as they started to leave the break room.

"Today we're just gonna have you help with receiving for a bit and then probably have you help with distribution at the end of day." Matt answered as they exited the door and made their way to the meeting area.

As they walked towards the meeting area Seraphim could see more people coming in from a nearby door leading outside to were he assumed was the smoking area. As they joined the crowd in the meeting area Selvester walked up to the bulletin board in front of the crowd of workers and gathered their attention, as they all looked up towards him he began.

"Alright, Alright, Alright! Let's get started. First off I wanna thank you guys for comin into work today and not calling off." Selvester continued, "The more people we have the earlier we'll be out, now today Ain't lookin like a bad day since the holidays just ended so its gonna be a little easier today and not as late as it's been which I'm sure you're all glad to hear!" When he finished he pointed towards Seraphim causing the crowd to now focus there attention on him, making him very self-concious. "Let me introduce our new team member Seraphim, it's his first day so try and help him out and bring him up to speed." He continued while some of the crowd chuckled, "Try to make him feel welcome, the more people we have stay the earlier we'll get out and the earlier we can get to the bar to pick up and fuck that fat that bitch sittin by her self." He said causing the crowd to break out in laughter.

"Hell ya, that's a good day!" Seraphim heard Shane shout over the crowd.

"Alright, if there's no questions lets get to it!" Selvester finished. As the meeting finished the workers all made their way to the forklifts in the corner of the room. Matt lead Seraphim to one of the forklifts.

"Alright you'll use this one." He said gesturing to one. The forklift he gestured to had definently seen better days. It was riddled with a bunch of dings and dents, the driver cage was slightly bent in a few places, the light on the back of the cage was crushed in it's own saftey cage but the light itself was still on somehow, and to top it off Seraphim saw that someone had written the word "SLAYER" in big letters on the side with black spray paint.

"Is this thing even gonna run?" Seraphim asked looking at the beaten machine.

"Oh yeah it'll still run, you'd be amazed at what 'ol Slayer has been through it's like this thing just won't die!" Matt said reassuring Seraphim.

As Seraphim walked upto "Slayer" D.Y.H pulled up next to them in his own forklift, "Hey now isn't this a coincidence that forklift used to be used by the last human that worked here!" He said with a grin.

"What happened to him?" Seraphim asked.

"Oh, he died unfortunatley." D.Y.H responded

"WHAT?!?" Seraphim nearly shouted with his eyes wide in shock.

"No, he's joking that's not what happened!" Matt exclaimed, "He had his foot ran over, he didn't die! D.Y.H stop being an ass!" Matt yelled at the dragon.

"Ok, I'm sorry I couldn't help it!" D.Y.H laughed as he drove off to the large door that was being opened for the other workers to drive through.

"Damn, your right he is an asshole!" Seraphim said to Matt as he got into his own forklift.

"Ya he is but you eventually learn to ignore him." Matt said as they started up their forklifts and drove to the now open door. As they all drove out of the building to the receiving warehouse all of the workers were all honking their horns at one another and yelling like idiots.

"D.Y.H you'd better stay outta my way today or else Imma slap you with my dick!" Seraphim could hear Shane yell over all of the honking.

"Oh like I'm gonna be afraid of your fuckin four inch chode!" D.Y.H shot back.

"This is gonna be a crazy day." Seraphim said to himself as he followed the line of crazy forklift drivers.

Outside of the Main Hall

"I don't know Tanya, I just feel like this year is going to be exciting!" Said the siberian husky to the tall busty zebra she was walking next to.

"I hope your right Jezzel, I'm just dying for something new!" Tanya said back to the husky, "I do really like our visitors but too many of them are the same I just want to experience something new!" She said looking out to the rising sun.

"Oh I just know this year will bring may new experiences for all of us I'm sure of it!" Jezzel replied to her equine friend. As she said this they then heard the sound of a bunch of horns near the main hall. They looked over to where the sound was coming from to see the islands general labor staff make their daily journey to the receiving warehouse.

"There they go again! I really wonder how they all have the energy to act so crazy this early in the morning!" Tanya said as they watched them driving off. But one of them in particular caught Tanya's eye, "Hello, who do we have here?" She said looking at th dark skinned human with black short spiked hair in a tan work coat following the line of crazy workers.

"Is that a human?" Jezzel asked looking at him as he drove away.

"Yes it is! now that's something new!" Tanya replied.

"Hmm, he seems a bit on the small side but I think he's quite cute!" Jezzel added.

"Oh yes he is, but despite his size I think he could suprise us!" Tanya said.

"You really think so Tanya?" Jezzel questioned.

"Yes, sometimes the biggest most interesting suprises can come from the most unlikely of places! I think I'll keep my eye on him." Tanya finished as they began walking back to the tower.

"This year will be interesting for sure!"
