Normal people would usually not be quite too happy wen they're thrown out on the streets. Anne, apparently, was not a normal person. She happily was heading to her next job offer. 29 had turned her down and she sure that 30 is her lucky number.
Walking into the building her tail flicked in awe. She'd never seen something with so many windows before. She skipped to the receptionist. "Hi! I'm here for the interview?"

Quite a queer sight, that 'boss'. Had anyone come in the previous day - or in her case, called in to confirm - it was clear it was certainly not the same person it usually was. No, this 'boss' seemed relatively out of place. Big, chipper smile that DIDN'T seem to have been caved in by years of boring desk work... thin, white hair that reached down to her waist, a pair of rather eerie blue eyes hidden behind a pair of thick-rimmed glasses and a pretty blue uniform that could easily be mistaken for business formal had it not been for the pink button-up shirt and a lack of tie. She was relatively tall, lanky physique with noticeably tall legs. Seems like the sort of person who'd get regularly teased for being a reed.
A little silver pin stuck to her jacket pocket, with the five pronged logo of the company. Just like everyone else was wearing. The 'boss' looked up at the girl, her smile only intensifying as she would peer right at her with the same look one would given when gazing upon a friend they haven't seen in years.
Oh, she new who she was. And she knew what she was. The job offer was all part of the plan of course - but in the end it was really just a big co-incidence! That she should happen upon one of her own kind, all whilst she was running a little operation. Little was the big word here. All it really was in the end was a smalltime local travel agency. She'd offered her a quaint little desk job with some contact with the locals. After all, why not see those skills of hers in action. After all , some of her kind chose to live a normal life amongst others...unless they were half-breeds. Then they didn't really HAVE that much of a choice. Not anymore.
"Hello there! Anne-Marie, is it? Well then.... Come along!" she cooed as she slowly stood up, holding a small mass of papers up to her breast as she would waddle along towards the back room. Spacious little alcove with a big bay window and a single set of chairs facing one another. The boss made her way over towards one of the chairs and settled down, crossing her legs as she peered over at her applicant.

"you don't have to call me by my full name, I know It's a mouthful. You can call me Annie if you'd like." She smiled cocking her head to the side with a small smile. "I'm very excited or this interview." She said giving a large smile before standing awkwardly. "Sorry, I'm babbling again." She said with a sheepish grin.
"Just practicing a bit of formality. I suggest you do the same! You'll be expected to show some when you're speaking to our customers. Not everyone enjoys using their full name, and you can't just call them 'stuffy poopyheads'." she raised her fingers to airquote before her, before she'd offer the girl a sly wink.
"As much as you'd want to call them that..." she couldn't help but give a playful smile. She was the fun kind of boss! AT least that's what she wanted people to think when they see her. A nice impression was better then an awkward one. And she'd rather work that charm of hers. Oh, she tried her best to sit on her tail, begging not to wag in her excitement and blow her cover.
"Now, I have to ask, Annie...what sort of job skills do you feel you have that would benefit a travel agency? You'll be expected to work in the office and with the people so you'll need more then just a big smile!"

She nodded. "I graduated top of my class for both my junior and senior accounting classes. With a 4.0 GPA. I work very well with numbers and I have a very calm head. Even with 'stuffy poopyhead' customers so to speak." She giggled as the yawned of the word.
"Mmm, wonderful, wonderful! Tell me, what would you say your strengths are when it comes to the work place? And tell me a bit about yourself. You seem like a very interesting young lady." she gave her a brief nod, stopping to peer up and into her eyes.
She wanted to throw her off. She hoped that she'd look back into her eyes. If she did, then one thing would be a little apparent. For any being that was a spirit - which she was - one of the biggest surefire ways to notice evidence of another spirit was to - well - look right into their eyes. In this case, Annie would likely get a very familiar feeling when looking into the eyes of her own kind.
Not helping is, to rile her further, the woman activated a minor Kouseitan'í and attempted to cause the air within the room to billow - like a breeze out of nowhere that blew the papers upon the desk away and onto the floor.
"Ooh! Now where did that come from?" She gasped, murmuring to herself as she feigned panic, standing up and squatting nearby as she focused on picking the papers up "Don't mind me. Keep going!"

She squeaked slightly looking around. "Oh, uh. Okay, well I'm Kinda OCD. everything has it's own order, In it's own way, its own pattern." She looked around d searching from where the gust of wind could have come from. "Uh, does that happen often?" She asked In slight worry.
"Oh! More often then you think. It tends to happen far too often around me. It's almost like I'm blessed by the wind..." she tried not to snicker at that. Oh it was hard to even get close to a lie, espcially since she was forbidden from outright lying. The strange little eccentricities of being a spirit tended to come into play so often.
With that, she put her papers back down on the table before she'd pat her hair down, straightening it out over her scalp "Ahh...well then. Be sure to control that. OCD tends to annoy some people, and make you waste time on the most minute tasks. But me? I think you're a wonderful candidate for this job...so I might make you a little offer." she paused for a moment, before would offer her a hand, peering over to her with a gleam in her eyes.
"You can have the job. We close our applications soon, so really? You are our final and best choice. If you promise to be part of the company and do your best, I'm sure you'll do nicely here..." her pink lips spread into a big, toothy smile. Almost like a grinning crocodile.

Her face splits into a beaming grin. "Oh really?! That's perfect!!" She squealed with delight. "You don't know how long I've been looking for a job, and hoe many people have turned me down."
She blinks for a moment as the other seems to ignore the hand she was offering and simply chooses to act like a delighted little bunny. Either this one was still a kit or she was really, really fresh. Especially with that sort of enthusiasm. She was certainly not of the Índō , fun loving as they are they tended to at least put a lid on it once in a while.
"I'm glad you're greatful and all." she pulled her hand away, crossing her arms over her chest as she pondered "So then, do you promise to be a good, contributing member of the company?" she pondered, perking a brow at her as if she were judging her solely on her reply to that little question.

"Of course." She said with a tilt of her head and a large smile. "I'd want Nothing more."
That was what she was waiting for. She'd just promised her. Leaning forward, the woman attemped to plant a hand upon her shoulder "Wonderful. The job's yours, Annie...if that is what you choose to call yourself." she attempted to stand up and move up closer to her, giving a happy little sigh as she'd feel a little more at ease.
Annie would likely be able to notice a little inconsistancy with how the other looked! Namely the five obvious grey furred tails hanging under her skirt, lifting the back up a little as she stepped back, winking over to her.
"And here I thought you were a smart girl. I mean you really had the answer right in front of you. But a promise is a promise...and kitsune cannot break their promises.

She blinked staring at her In surprise. "w-wait..." She whispered her ears twitching. "You're one as well?" She said standing shakily.
Literally gave her no chance to stand up fully before she moved forward to clasp her cheeks and move to plant a little kiss on her nose, giggling to herself as she'd even let loose a little yip, covering her mouth as she tries to contain her laughter "Oh...oohoho...you didn't notice! I can't believe you didn't notice." she giggled, before placing her hands upon her hips.
"I believe I won! I don't know what the game was, but I won. On the bright side, sweetie, you've got a job. And I have a worker AND one of my own kind around! So sorry to decieve you like that. But what can I say? I enjoy being every man, woman and child you could possibly talk to. It's a fun little masquerade, eh?" she winks to her, flicking her tails, rather pleased "Oh these people...with their flesh and blood. Wonderful creatures."

Her tail subconsciously wrapped around her and She hugged it to her. "Sorry, me sense haven't ever really met someone of our kind before...." She mumbled still a little dead at the thought of another kitsune. "Your tails are very pretty." She said with a small smile.
"Awww, why thank you! Five Seikí-Raküín down, four more to go. I can't say I am THAT excited to becoming a Kyuubi. The whole concept of becoming one with the universe sort of makes me feel like I'd lose the chance to deal with it all hands on." she flexed her fingers, peering over at that tail of hers, giggling slightly as she would examine her.
"And you are just adorable! Look at you. I imagine all of your other forms are most wonderful. I can imagine your fur is quite soft too. See, that's the advantage of being us. Wonderful grooming!"
"And you are just adorable! Look at you. I imagine all of your other forms are most wonderful. I can imagine your fur is quite soft too. See, that's the advantage of being us. Wonderful grooming!"
She giggled. "I agree. We don't worry too much about it as others do." She said still ruffling her own tail. It felt very inadequate compared to hers. It twitched along with her ears.
Unable to help herself, she leaned over and tapped the points of her ears "These, though, were a bit of a dead giveaway...not so good for hiding it. Unless you want to pretend to be wearing these all day. Then again....with how modern fashion works, I wouldn't be surprised if this is considered 'normal'."
She reaches up to adjust her jacket, still smug as ever. No reason for her to get less subtle about it. After all - deception was her forte.
"How long have you been out here? You seem to be new to this all - if I may observe."

"How long have you been out here? You seem to be new to this all - if I may observe."
She fidgeted with a slight smile. "I don't come out during the day much. I run this shelter down town you see....for...others in a similar situation...I thought times had changed....No one really said anything..." She said self consciously touching her ears.
"Are they really that bad?" She mumbled to herself letting go of her ears and touching both with ach hand.
"Are they really that bad?" She mumbled to herself letting go of her ears and touching both with ach hand.
"'Bad'. They're pretty! But not too subtle. These days most people would look away. Back in my days, you had ears like those...and you'd likely get chased out by a summoner. Keep that in mind." she gave a big nod, pointing up to herself.
"Five hundred years of being me, I tend to make my own situation change. I'm fresh in this world, at least...I haven't been here for a few hundred years. You know how it is, local hero beat me at my game...and I had to disappear for a while. So I came back with a bang."
She opened her arms up, showing herself off with a toothy smile "Whaccha think? Foolproof, eh? And hey, since you're one of us...you get special treatment. And all the tofu you can eat."
She knew what her own people liked, this was obvious.
