Work Text:
“What – why am I here?” Prismo looked wildly around in the new room he found himself in, a booming voice of the Boss demanded Prismo to see Jenny and then he appeared in this light filled office – one other celestial from another department were called in for a discussion, seemed serious, especially how grim-faced Jenny was.
The head of Inhuman Resources, Jenny, was like a blob of ink on white parchment – her white desk almost disappeared against the starkness, the only sign of the woman’s personality that she allowed to showcase in her professional office was an infinite calendar full of cute multi -eyed cats and a toothy, snapping peace lily.
Both items were floating around, not constrained by laws of gravity in this almost nothingness.
Prismo focused back on Jenny’s serious expression, (when the cyclops eyed ginger kitten on month July in year 20 billion no longer held interest for him) at least he thought she had a serious expression, the inky void creature of God Resources with bulging eyes with writhing tentacles made it difficult to figure out.
“It has come to my attention that you two require to attend my workshop on workplace sexual harassment.” Jenny continued, “These workshops will be needed for the mark to be removed from your record of eternity.”
Prismo blinked at that – before letting out a laugh of disbelief at the claim.
“Sexual harassment?” Prismo began, “You must be mistaken-“
“This is no laughing matter Prismo.” Jenny cut the other off curtly.
Prismo shut his mouth at that – it really was not a laughing matter but he honestly had no idea what he exactly has done.
“I have better things to do.” Set huffed, his pronged tail flicking in annoyance as he tapped his black dress shoe – the other god had attempted to leave the office multiple times but as he ran from where he was sitting, he would find himself ending back to where he and Prismo were sitting, even though the other was convinced he did not turn in his attempt at fleeing.
“You are both here due to serious workplace complaints of harassment.” Jenny continued, pointedly ignoring the God of Deserts glare.
“What?” Prismo blinked at that - not just one but many complaints.
“Tch – you can’t seriously believe this shit…” Set huffed at Prismo, the Wishmaster was keen to distance himself from the other – the god was contrite at being caught, it was then Jenny who directed her ire directly to Set.
“Why the lettuce, Set*?” Jenny demanded, “You ruined the salad bar for everyone!”
“Wait – what did he do to the salad bar?” Prismo asked confused but at the same time not really wanting to know what the other did – the cafeteria was in chaos after Horus of Ra’s department promptly told the caterers to take the greens away.
“Heh – you should’ve seen Horus’s face when he found my special surprise…” Set grinned, sharp teeth pulling his expression in such a way that would make anyone concerned.
“Glob dammit Set!” Jenny exclaimed - her tentacles writhing in anger, “This is a workplace, not some frat house in some no-where galaxy!”
Jenny centered herself, calming herself down before turning to the still confused Wishmaster – pulling a folder with the others name towards her with a sticky tendril.”
“We have received multiple however much minor complaints on you Prismo, you made comments on how, ‘you want to see their wings.’” Jenny flicked to a new page, “‘Where does your exoskeleton start and suit stop?’ and most recently, ‘Can I touch your shell?’ “
“Ah.” Prismo fretted a little at that, “I mean, I was just – I didn’t think that was…sexual harassment?”
“It is – and very inappropriate.” Jenny explained, “But I am aware it was not done in malicious intent, the victim is aware of that too.”
“Oh…” Prismo muttered – feeling guilty about the whole thing, and while Jenny did not provide the name it was clear who raised the complaint. When he saw Scarab again, he should apologize in person.
“I expect you provide the victim a written apology, and to watch this informative VHS of how to act in a workplace as a reminder .” From her void body, shot out the old looking VHS – she placed it on the desk as she continued chatting. The title of the video was grainy and vintage looking, the same bad quality video that all entities were required to watch at the start of their position.
It had some cheesy word-art tagline on the cover, ‘We have an eternity working together – don’t make it feel like an eternity!’
“There is also a book I wish for you to refer to in relation to the dos and don’ts when working with our insectoid colleagues.” Jenny explained, a book was pulled from her drawer and placed on the video case, “The victim only wished for me to talk to you – but if you don’t heed my warnings, action may be quite severe against you.”
“I understand.” Prismo nodded solemnly – before being teleported back to the time room with the VHS and the thick book falling with a thud.
Both Jenny and Set was left in her office – the tapping of the others dress shoe breaking the silence they fell in
“So…you got a VHS and book for me too.” Set smirked at Jenny – she slowly turned to him.
“We are well beyond that now – the Boss will be attending shortly to discuss your future as a cosmic entity.” Jenny explained plainly to the other – it was implied the future was going to be quite short.
“Well, fuck.” Set huffed.
Jenny sighed, raising tendrils to rub at her head…or the top of her blob form - it was impossible to determine if she had a head or neck really. She has had a very long day.
please leave a comment and kudos if you liked :) I guess this is in the same au as my other story, the Egyptian gods are one of the many cosmic departments - some of the myths we know of are referenced to have happened in some way or another. Jenny is just a little joke character, for the Inhuman Resources - kind of like mothman in 'Inside Job'.
Of course Prismo would say stuff and not realize how it could be taken by Scarab.
Jenny is very much done with office drama - she just wants everyone to do their job without issues.
