Interviewer: Brief Introduction?

Coworker: The worker stretches his hands behind his back, his greenish-gray shirt showing slightly tan in the bright lighting, sitting himself in the office's chair. Finally, they were getting somewhere. "The name's Bryce Stryker, but you can just call me Bryce Stryker," his voice kept the same confident drawl he used when greeting other employees down the hall, "Full employee of the month, mountaineer of the corporate ladder—" He trails off into talking about agencies, relocations, "Company Expert, Agency firm specialist, part-time stock trader-"

Interviewer: Moving on.. Your paper has you go by different names?

Coworker: "See, that's a funny story, actually," he says, uncrossing his legs against the table. "I've collected a ton of names over the years, and its all about using the right one that sticks!" He laughs, slumping back into the office chair. "Chase Beckley, Clayton Cox, Mitch Declan…All me."

Interviewer: So, does this mean Bryce is not your real name?

Coworker: "When did I ever say that?" He wipes a hand over his dirty blond hair, sliding it down to fall right on top of his knee, "Of course its real. All of them are! Like I said - it's just about the specifics. Depending on the situation, the right name fits all. That's how this business works. Appearance goes a long way."

Interviewer: Personality?

Coworker: The employee shrugged, a smile beginning to curve his lips upwards. "Huh, never got asked that before," he still answers it anyway. "Soo…Between you and me, I have this kind of little habit," he begins, hand creeping near his suit pocket, "not anything bad! Just procrastination. Sometimes I'll miss work a few times and then come back with a review, no big deal." He ignores the fact that it was, indeed, a huge deal to his boss. "I'm still a bigshot around here, been working at this place for ages. Ask anyone, they'll tell you." He confirms.

Interviewer: "Would you happen to be related to any of the CEOs?"

Coworker: He blinks, smile still there. "How'd you know?"

His hand takes a cigarette from his suit pocket, a lighter reaching the tip. "Just a while ago, I helped the new guy get well-acquainted and I gotta say, some of the new setups are kinda a joke," he continues, "I mean come on, who would pair Heart of Palm wall paint with Beach Dune carpeting. And that's not even the half of some of the weird sights in here," he takes a smoke, lighter rested nearby. "Another thing: I don't share the things I like easily, I mean, that's my stuff, kinda the point of having it. No matter how nicely you ask. Not a corporal thing, but something to keep in mind."

Interviewer: "..You mention the newest employee, how are you getting along with him?"

Coworker: Leftover smoke carries away from the burnt cigarette, he pauses for a split moment. "Oh, the newbie? I'll be honest - he's kinda impressive. Never seen a guy walk in here that's simultaneously smart and hopeless, has to be a new record. He even knows how to rile up the weaker ones for desperation," he pauses, a higher register forming, "the newbies get sadder and sadder every year, I'm glad this one has some form of a personality. He's still indecisive about what he wants, but I'd say he'd make a good employee here. I just wish he didn't take advantage of my fear of rats, like I mean, who does that?"

Interviewer: They take a look at the paper, staring at him blankly. "Are you a misogynist?"

Coworker: "What?! Hell no!" His tone grows awfully defensive, shaking away the rest of the smoke. "I love the women employees around here, they take the job seriously! A little too seriously, but still." He crosses his arms, solid on this aspect. "It's just they tend to..I don't know, complain pretty often? Also that girly stuff is not for me."

Interviewer: Appearance?

Coworker: He takes this opportunity to stand up, patting down the creases of his fabric. "Take a nice look, it's critical," he insists, the previously tan suit flickering back to green-gray after exiting the dim lighting. "I got this matching blazer a couple months back...At least I think it's matching, its a little lighter then the suit, thought the diagonal stripes were cool," he muttered, not taking any effort to button it back up.
