Secretary in Secret

Alva really needed a job. She'd sort of had one for a bit, being that one Majin's campaign manager, though that hadn't ended up going anywhere, mostly thanks to her blowing it off. She had a tendency to do that, huh? For her part, these last several months had seen her holed up in her garage, working on her suit in one way or another. She'd gotten kind of... Antisocial, lately. It had been years now since she'd last seen any of her high school friends. She had a few friends online, though those were just people she'd met on an online forum for gearheads like her. And Jackie... Ugh. She'd forgotten to call her. It was probably way too late to chase that thread, by now.

She hadn't even really been committing all that much crime, lately. Man... Maybe she was kinda depressed. Twenty-one years old and still living with her dad, barely going outside, no job that had lasted longer than a few weeks... Alva took a look around at the state of her bedroom. Various dirty clothes had been tossed around her room onto the floor, which sure made it annoying when they got snagged on her wheelchair. Other snacks and dirty dishes had been left out for days, her bed was unkempt and her blankets were smelly, and the only light in the room that wasn't coming from the window was from her computer monitor.

Alva was pathetic.

So, when she saw a job listing for a secretary as she sat idly scrolling through job posting sites, she paused. It paid decently, wasn't too far, and didn't require anything beyond a high school diploma and basic computer literacy. She could do that. Alva looked down at herself. Her hair was long, uncombed, and frayed at the ends, and she'd been wearing the same t-shirt and sweatpants for three days, now. ...Okay, she'd shower, and then apply for this thing.

A few hours later, a well-dressed Alva with her bright blonde hair neatly tied up into a bun rolled herself through the front doors of King's Castle, where she quickly wheeled herself up to the front desk and gave a smile to the person seated there. "Hi!" she chirped, "I'm here to interview for the secretary position? I saw the posting online."

The person at the desk looked down at Alva, then briefly smiled. "Oh, yes. Just down that hall to the left," they said to her, and Alva quickly followed their instructions, wheeling herself down the opulently decorated hall. She'd never actually been inside King's Castle before - it was as massive on the inside as it looked from afar. As she rolled down the hall, Alva had to wonder - where exactly was she taking this position? King's Castle was host to all sorts of different important political or business organizations. So, as she reached the end of the hall and took a look around, it dawned on her...

Wasn't this the President's wing of the Castle?
