august.

“am i the only one relieved that some sort of exposing thing didn’t happen today? i mean — it’s not like i have anything to hide but i mean – they just seem to be saying a bunch of crazy things to tarnish everyone’s reputation, you know?” august was nervous. everyone had something to hide. even he did. but – he didn’t think anyone hated him enough to like — find stuff out about him and tell the entire building. he shrugged his shoulders, “as much as i want to work here, i don’t want .. you know .. drama or anything. and it seems as though the only thing that happens here is drama. don’t you think so?”

“i know exactly what you mean,” eleanor agreed, propping her elbows up on august’s desk. she’d actually come by to see chris ( adobe insisted her creative cloud subscription had expired, which, no ), but in lieu of him, august seemed like a suitable replacement. and now they were talking about drama, which just seemed typical of masters. “when you read articles about masters, they talk about how cutting-edge and prestigious it is, about how it’ll make your career. i guess mentioning how utterly cutthroat people are wouldn’t be good for business. anyway, we just gotta keep our heads down.”

“so this gala thing,” eleanor began as she picked at her pasta bowl. lunch at masters wasn’t sad, exactly, but she had quickly realized the only people sitting in the break room during their allotted hour were the loners and the losers. she had no intention of being mistaken for either, so she made for the picnic tables in a nearby park, usually with a co-worker in tow. if she ate alone, it was just as sad as if she’d done so in those four white plaster walls. “it’s not, like, mandatory dates, right? that would just be unethical. they couldn’t actually do that. right?” she mumbled, squinting over at today’s lucky lunch companion.

will.

Will had been back for a few weeks now. He never really told anyone why he was gone. Just that he had to go away for a few and then- lookie- he’s back. 

Fast forward to now. He took his place at his desk, booting up his computer with a bit of excitement. Til.. he heard a knock near his space entrance. His eyes rose and he gave a half smile. “Uh hey… What’s up? Somethin’ I can do for ya?”

“uh, yeah!” eleanor made an aborted wave motion with her left hand, her right clutching a medium-sized parcel. “you’re... william Brighton? i think this belongs to you, it was delivered to my mailbox by mistake.” in fear of looking like a spectre hovering in his doorway, she took a few small steps into the office, her fingers fidgeting nervously with the cardboard flaps of the box. “so... amazon, huh?”

jude.

𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐒 𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐒𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐋𝐘 𝐀𝐒 𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐊𝐄, letting her finish even though that one hour meeting had been indication enough of the nature of the graphic design floor. you’d think something as presumably dense as law would be the last thing anything yearned for, especially when compared to art, but jude was biased and that meeting drained him, so. “ you’re telling me it’s not all rainbows and shading up here ? ” jude joked good-naturedly. he really did feel for her, though; she seemed stressed. “ no, i’m not on this floor, ” he shook his head, grinning wider as he continued, “ i’m that one floor with the burning gates ? you walk in and there’s someone crying in one corner and a phone being thrown across the hallway ? they call it the legal department here. ”

“slightly less shading, a whole lot more fighting with illustrator,” eleanor replied, laughing despite herself. “it’s a love-hate relationship, you know; we love the Adobe Creative Cloud, it hates us with a burning passion.” Eleanor watched as he continued, her fingers still flexing over the muscles in her neck. “Wow. Law. Jesus,” she muttered, her mouth moving before her mind for the first time in recent memory. Her eyes widened as she scrambled to cover: “I mean, wait, sorry, I didn’t mean that in a bad way. I just- law. It’s... that’s intense. I just fool around with photos all day and you’re a real... anyway.”

@xavierpak

Mr. Pak:

I don’t believe we’ve had the pleasure of meeting yet. My name is Eleanor Abrams, I work in graphic design here at Masters. I’ve already been exposed to some of your excellent work, of course, as I was overseeing the development of layouts for last month’s issue of Excelsior. However, the reason for my email today is of a more frivolous nature.

I’m sure you will have noticed by now that we have been paired together for the company-wide gala brainstorm re: the upcoming gala. As I’m sure we’re both very busy individuals, I presumed that you’d prefer if we conduct our brainstorm session through emails. This way, neither of our schedules will be impacted; we can simply respond when we have the time and talk through our ideas this way.

Please reply as your earliest convenience as to whether this arrangement is agreeable to you. I anticipate hearing from you soon.

Best,

Eleanor Abrams, Senior Graphic Designer e.abrams@masters.us

eliza.

exciting wasn’t entirely the word eliza would use, but it was nice someone thought of it like that. she liked to think of herself, of her department, as useful and interesting, sure. but exciting? well, for all the gossip she got to hear, it could be. and she rather liked other people’s gossip more than her own, anyway. “it’s not, no. it’s just eliza, you know, like eliza doolitte?” she still had never seen my fair lady. “i love the name eleanor, actually? it’s really…regal, kind of.” it always made her think of queens, for whatever reason. she smiled, then, genuine, at the offer from the woman as she walked with her. “i really appreciate that. and if you ever want someone to help you keep yourself out of the gossip mill, i’m more than glad to help.” she laughed. “since i got promoted, i don’t really run socials so much anymore, actually, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

“thank you!” eleanor beamed at the compliment, tucking her hair back behind her ear. “i like it too, it lends well to nicknames.” not that anyone had given her a nickname lately, but if anyone ever did find themselves so inclined, they would have plenty of options to choose from. “both of us, names starting with e-l. we should start a club.” eleanor listened pleasantly as her companion continued, keeping her face as neutral as possible as eliza made her offer. no sudden movements. don’t give anything away. “really?” eleanor finally got out, her voice steadier than she felt. “i don’t know why anyone would be gossiping about me, but i will hold you to that, just in case. what is your job description now, if you don’t mind? i figure it can’t hurt to learn more about masters’ departments.”

eliza.

normally, meetings didn’t bore eliza this much. but she had wanted to stay busy, not stay half-asleep. so when it ended, she thought about if it’d be terrible to have another cup of coffee today. “i appreciate the apology,” she laughed a little, hugging her tablet to her chest, “but it’s not my first time in a graphic design meeting. i work in PR, but i’ve done a lot of content creation, so they figured putting me here would kill two birds.” she was pretty familiar with a good handful of departments here at masters, and had a hope that the longer she was here, the more that list would grow. “we haven’t met, though. i’m eliza reed.” she tried not to care about what her name meant as of late.

“oh, wow. PR! that’s exciting,” eleanor replied, rocking on the heels of her three-inch mary janes. “i’m sure you’ve had a chance to get to know just about everyone at masters then, i’m honoured you’d chat with me. i’m eleanor, eleanor abrams. eliza’s a pretty name, is it short for elizabeth?” she beamed, completely unaware of eliza’s discomfort and always pleased when she had a chance to insert her new name into a conversation. eleanor abrams. it was clean and untainted, the name of a girl from white picket fences and shiny unscuffed patent. “if you ever need a hand with any layout or website design stuff, i’m your girl,” she continued, gesturing for the redhead to walk with her. “i’ll even try my hand at blogs, if you bribe me hard enough.”
