The lights were winking on even though it was only 3PM, and the sun was still up, shedding dirty light through the biome. The artificial atmosphere used here was so cheap that even the sun's light felt like plastic as it streamed in through faded glass to hit Donny in the face, right in the eyes, which was annoying the old wolf.
He looked mostly human, did ol' Donny, and would continue to. Maybe those canines were a little too sharp for comfort - but otherwise, Donny didn't look like one of 'em at all.
He was a shifter, see - and few ever saw the other side of him. Very few, considering he had to keep up his registration as 100% human. As far as most understood, he lived here of his own choice & volition.
He crossed one burly leg over his knee, and jiggled his foot, huffing on his e-cigar. The smoke was cloying, twining around him and Oriel, who were uncomfortably near in his office. His desk was made of thick glass and metal that always cut when you were thrown over it. He had a door to the right, next to a shelf with photos of himself and tasteful accoutrements. The door led to what was euphemistically called the tough room, either for tough love or tough shit, no one was exactly sure.
"Oriel," he rumbled out, "the fuck you gotta say for yourself, kid? Hah?"
He lifted the papers, then put them down again. Then he threw them in Oriel's face. The fanned out and fluttered around him, dancing down like there was some kind of breeze in here. "Read for yourself. Numbers're down again this month. Complaints up." He huffed a line of smoke into Oriel's eyes, long and slow. "I'm about ready to hear your excuses."
