BtVS: Alternate Lives

Who: Vikki, Holland Manners
Where: Wolfram and Hart
When: 11/16 Morning

A while after her talk with Charlotte Vikki decided to take the woman's advice and let her parents do whatever the hell it was they were going to. School still bored her to tears,and all the boys her own age were stupid or otherwise unavailable sometimes both. Mostly boys her age just annoyed her, and she wasn't all that interested in making friends at school when she bothered to go that is. Her parents were both so wrapped up in work and their own lives that she didn't even think they noticed what she'd been up to lately. In fact the only adult she'd talked to besides her parents lately was Charlotte.

So when she heard that Wolfram and Hart had a a rolling internship program that took about the same amount of time as a high school education; only much more useful and a hell of a lot more interesting in Vikki's opinion, she went ahead and signed herself up. She'd waited restlessly for a few days in hopes of hearing back from what many still deemed 'the best Law Firm in the world'. She'd heard back last night and she'd set up a meeting with Holland Manners himself.

Today was the day Vikki was to meet with Mr. Manners, she was so excited she got up two hours early, showered, and put on her best Chanel black dress, matching stiletto pumps, did her make up, made sure her hair was perfect. She finished off her coiffed look with a spritz of Chanel number five and a Chanel purse and white trench coat.Once she was ready she hailed a cab to take her to the firm.

Resume in hand Vikki McDonald walked into the lobby of Wolfram and Hart like it was a red carpet premiere. She walked over to the front desk and flashed the woman behind the desk a smile. "Hi, I'm here to see Mr. Manners I'm his eleven o' clock." Vikki was thrilled that she might have a chance to learn from the same man that had recruited both of her parents,from what little she'd been able to research about the man he was apparently a legend by all accounts.

Who: Jared OT Lilah
Where: Wolfram & Hart Break Room
When: Friday Afternoon

Jared had actually stayed overnight at Wolfram & Hart. He had slept on the sofa in his office the night before, and had used the shower in his office and the change of clothes that he kept there this morning before anyone had gotten in. He had been working overtime on a case and, since he didn't have anyone at home to get to, he just decided to stay when he looked at the clock in his office and realized that it was already two a.m.

For lunch, he had ordered some Chinese take out and, instead of eating it in his own office, he had actually gotten so sick of looking at the same four walls that he went into the rarely used break room (people only came in to get more coffee ninety percent of the time) and started to eat his Chicken Low Mein.

At least he wasn't still starring at the same four walls. He'd make sure to get away from this place tonight so that he wouldn't go completely mad.
