DDDNE (DEAD DOVE: DO NOT EAT)
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
These songs aren't quite indicitive of headcannoned music tastes, but idk its not so far off maybe. Thought it would be neat.
•Robert: Crazy Blue - A.R. Kane
Loves having his desk near yours, lives for having his desk near yours, taking advantage of any slight proximity to bug your desk or any other suspicious acts. He'll make sure your gone for the night, then paw through your desk drawers to see what he can see. When he finds used chapstick, he uses it then puts it back. Sometimes takes pens or trash from food you've eaten like popsicle sticks, but often treats your things as 'our things'. Its's bizarrely intimate and it lets him imagine some reality where the two of your are dating and still work this closely, cubicles pushed together.
Likes to share lunches or even breakfast, and as a result his health is imroving. He cooks delicious, filling but simple meals with you in mind, but he makes enough for two so you can share properly, otherwise he couldn't use the excuse of making a large breakfast and needing to share with his closest coworker besides chase. It would be suspicious if he only gave you food and never ate anything himself, right? Tired as hell and grateful to be sitting close enough to hear the sounds of enjoyment you make while eating, Robert basks in the odd warm feeling of pride in looking after you. He may not quite feel confident enough to tell you he woke up early just to make you breakfast , but at least he's fed you well and you and Robert have shared.
On rainy days he always has a second umbrella in case you forgot yours. He neglects to once early in your tenure together, and you are nearly soaked. Ever the oppurtunist, Robert offers the idea of walking under the same umbrella until you got to your car. The two of you really have to cram yourselves together to avoid the downpour. The proximity and even slight body heat is compelling, but this way if you ever take him up on his kindness, you will be carrying a tracker that will lead him to your home.
•Chase: Can't Fight the Devil - Zack Fox
One of your senior-most co-workers Chase is a source of professional insipration to you as well as a respected friend. Early on he estsblished himself as a friendly if sometimes taciturn collegue; showing you how the printer worked and answering questions on sick leave and group dynamics. He can abuse the fuck out of this potential blindspot of yours concerning his behaviors, and sometimes he does. For instance, whenever you're having trouble filing incident report forms concerning calls not going to plan , chase is there to lend his expertise, leaning over you, his hands on your shoulders, directing each mouse stroke. In that way, he craves indispensibility. He's happy if you feel like you can depend on him, if it brings you closer.
Will invite you over when beef is over if you get to that point in your friendship. The two of you watch a movie with beef perched between you, recieving absentminded pets from you both. While the film played, Chase stole glances at you here and there, unnoticed. Just being there was almost enough. It warmed him on the inside just to look at you, however regrettable it was that he felt the way he did, he couldn't bring himself to care. Your attention is rapt, leaning forward during a tense scene, and it gives Chase the perfect opportunity to stare.
•Royd: Total Football - Parquet Courts
If you bump into Royd in the lobby and make friends with this gregarious man, he'll be sure to try to meet you again at the same spot, trying to start a routine. He's a thoughtful guy who just wants to be part of your life; he often shows up with bagels or some other breakfast foid for the two of you to share.
If you stumble upon him downstairs somehow, Royd might begin to stock his mini fridge with snacks he remembers you seeming to favor. He'll end up inviting you down, hoping to create a relaxing atmosphere which associates him with safety, a quiet place to unwind. When this works, he's thrilled, sometimes even tampering with food to put you to sleep. Just to let you relax a while longer, of course.
News on the progress made on Robert's mecha end up relayed upstairs in person more often, as if these developments simply can't wait.
He likes to come up with improvements to your work equipment, anything to make your job easier or more comfortable.
•Golem: Martha Stewart - Yung Gravy
Might try to play video games with you during any shared breaks you may have. He's a pro at tekken, but he's started getting you to play through red dead redemption in an effort to make this a more regular thing. It's a long form masterpiece after all.
If he can't manage his feelings, Bruno will pen poems anonymously, leave them for you.
A calm spot in any office chaos. Bruno is a great listener, able to sit with you quietly while you both decompress.
•Flambae: Typical - Metronomy, et. All
Gets caught up trying to show off for you both with the leaderboards and even where small workplace favors are concerned. Deeply competetive with your attentions, even if it lands him in hot water.
Territorial, too. Chad is always scaring off potential "rivals" even someone asking to use a paper clip. If he notices any of his teammates getting intrested in you, he's a shameless saboteur, doing his level best to ruin any attempted "moment" percolating.
A bit pouty all he sees you in are hideous, if well fitted, khakis and the blue sdn uniform shirt.
Offers to drive you home in the firebird often.
•Phenomena Man: It's Not Over Yet- The Klaxons
Phenomena Man is stilted during conversation, and defintely subdued upon your first meeting.
When more integrated with Z-team, Dumpy exhudes this puppyish enthusiasm for spending time with you, offering up some melon from one of his baskets
After a convoluted conversation with Victor, Phenomenaman becomes terrified of the thought of you percieving his interest in you as a simple rebound.
•Waterboy: Suffocate - Knocked Loose feat. Poppy
After his hiring, Waterboy sees you around the office. While not initially happy his dreams of heroics were deffered, you become a bright point in his life. When he can get away with it he kind of hovers. Catching a glimpse of you in the middle of supervising a mission, eyes fixed on your monitors, hands flying over the keys. He admires their deftness, and somewhat shamefully wonders what else you could use those dexterous fingers for.
If he finds out you too are into metal, he'll be over the moon. So excited to share his favorite bands with you, and listen to yours. It makes him feel as if you two were meant to be, only emboldening him.
Inadvertently creating even larger messes by way of nervous outpouring of water, he's given even more leeway to clean up within eyeshot of you. Its a vicious cycle which he ultimately sees no problem with so long as he keeps up with cleaning the rest of the building.
Sometimes, before he's a hero, he listens to you on call and imagines what it would be like for you to be his dispatcher. The thought of having you there in his ear and following your orders giving him a little thrill even besides the thought of helping others. Even after he joins the Z-team, this little habit will only abate once he can't hear you while on shift, and he misses your sweet voice terribly.
Guilty of offering you "bottled water" he's made himself, likes to think he's taking care of you
• Sonar: Manhattan Skyline - a-ha (or maybe Dracula- Tame Impala)
Has a hard time speaking with you at first. Trips over himself, says lame stuff about harvard, then stresses out over it for two hours. Until he has gotten used to your prescence and innured himself, he's in a ourosboros of making a fool of himself.
Makes up reasons to come up to your desk, like insisting you took his stapler and arguing with you, even while seemingly turning his head so as to not make eye contact. He may say something like, " sure I've ruled out Boberto but who's to say you're off the hook?" Over time, he starts buying you stationary and supplies, especially if you happen to like that kind of thing. After finally admitting you had nothing to do with his staplers whereabouts, he would still find ways to keep interacting at least daily. Stilted conversations with Victor lead you to believe left to his own devices, he's actually quite shy, if a bit excitable concerning stationary.
Finds you a stapler shaped like something cute for the novelty, but if he found some kind of bat stationary he'd buy it immediately just to see you use it. He understands its corny, but something about seeing you use things he gives you makes him just a bit prideful. Not prideful in a possesive sense necessarily; its just nice to know you need him somehow.
If he ends up kidnapping you, he'll update you on work gossip, who gotten into trouble with failed calls, who's winning bets. He dies this because in some ways he's lucid and self aware enough to be a bit guilty to keep you away from all human interaction. But to Sonar, it can't be helped.
•Punch-up: Wolf Like Me - TV on the Radio (or tik tok by joji maybe?)
He is thoughtful, considerate, practical. He pays attention to the little things, like if you need an ergonomic rest for your wrist at your desk.
Reminds you to drink water if you're the type to let yourself get dehydrated, or ask if you've eaten if you often forget to eat or just plain work through hunger. He doesn't want to overstep his bounds, so pre kidnappind he is not forcing food on you, but he's always trying to jog your memory if you're forgetting to care for yourself.
Worries about your posture during work hours. He can see you shrimping out at your desk, and Colm does not approve. Like Blazer, he'll offer to give you massages. In Punch-up's case, these sessions are genuine altruism; he's a gentleman who can't stand to see you in pain. Sometimes, he'll join you in stretches he's looked up mostly aimed at sedintary people more like you, since he's so concerned with these long seated work days you have.
•Invisigal: Don't Put Anything On the Bible - JPEGMAFIA Feat. Buzzy Lee
Invisigal sometimes hangs out, just the two of you, without any notice. Sometimes she'll set down donuts or a cup of tea while you're distracted, a sweet gesture delivered through sleight of hand.
Courtney wonders if it could be your pretty eyes, whatever scars you carry, or just the general way that you move through the world, but theres just something about you, when you think you're all alone. You might sing to yourself, think aloud or grumble angrily under your breath. After she clocks out, or on your break, if she's very lucky she may find you dancing in your seat to some song you like. Enthralling, if you ask her.
When she gives you something, she likes watching you savor your treats after looking around for the culprit. Countney likes to sit on the edge of your desk when she can get away with it. She leans in, endeared to your confused face and questioning, darting eyes.
Face to face she's a real HR violation, not always shamelessly recycling lines she's used on robert but sort of iterating and innovating. Can be kind of corny, even if she's sultry sometimes, and if you grow too accustomed to her antics she pouts a bit before redoubling her efforts. "Were you formerly Somnonaut? Because I had a dream the two of us were fucking and it felt so real. Soooo, if its an hr violation, you gotta tell me," Courtney sets a hand at the small of your back, "otherwise, its entrapment gorgeous."
Wants to spend a morning with you making eacb other omlettes and having coffee, or tea if that's your thing. She fantasizes about just that, and its probably the culmination of a great deal of fantasies after she gets to make you breakfast at her place post capture.
•Prism: Wifey Riddim - Shygirl, Club Shy, Jorja Smith, Sadboi
Likes to chat you up on her lunch break and give you music reccomendations. She loves learning your music taste, and if you have any suggestions of your own, she's playing them on repeat. If the two of you share a particular favorite, she may start thinking of it as " our song".
Alice likes to share her food too, but often its more like letting you try some of what she's brought. If she notices you both like anything similar, like if you both enjoy ube milk tea, she'll bring some in the mornings for you too. Not only does she think its's cute you have this in common, she's excited to assosiate herself with your favorites in your mind. She hopes the next time you get youself a treat you think of a time you've shared it with her.
Prism will act like she needs to print something or is having trouble with paperwork just to get your help and attentions. Alice bats her eyes, asks for help, and proceeds to slyly flirt while you try to get to the bottom of her little issue. You may never catch on, but other duslatchers might, which backfires on her. Others in the office with a bit of a sense of humor might offer their own help. When she has to spend fifteen minutes going through the SDN online portal for an incident report under Chase's bombastic side eye, she mourns the relative fickle luck of her previous strategies.
• Coupé: NICE OUT - Kilo Kish
When Coupé is in the breakroom, she tries to time it just so. Janelle takes note of your favorites, whether or not you order out, how you cut your sandwiches, anything she can. Whether sitting across from you or lurking behind your cubicle, Coupé has these smoldering eyes that follow you at times, and though her motif is the bird shes looking like a cat about to pounce. When you notice Janelle gives you a winsome smile before temporarily turning her attentions elsewhere. This doesn't last for long.
Janelle likes to see you out of work too, how relaxed you are, your dress sense, and so she sometimes engineers situations where she just so happens to be in the neighboorhood so tk speak. Uses this time to broach topics of a more personal nature, like whether you would date someone you met at work. She'd prefer not to bother you with these questions at work to keep up her professional fascade.
Asks you about your taste in books. She'd like to know what you're reading to read it herself sure, but there's a part of her that's really hoping to find authors and books in common. If you admit to any enjoyment of romance especially "dark romance" as a genre, she halfway convinces herself you're completely approving of her actions as a pursuant and a reluctant stalker.
• Malevola: All She Does is Kill Shit - The I.L.Y's
Malevola might try to spend quality time with you over simply bringing you food, sitting next to you on lunch breaks for some gossip, or just to talk about what you were up to last weekend.
Might start trying to dress to impress, subtly if she sees you're into it. Does seeing her in office siren outfits get you going? What about a pantsuit? Invested in pushing your buttons playfully, but she wants you to know she's all in. Ostentatious in her presentation to that end, she may get progressively more in tune with what you like seeing her it and capitalize on it.
• Blonde Blazer: Automatic - Hikaru Utada (maybe even the johnny vicious remix specifically)
She's falling over herself to give you paid sick leave, any little thing she can, just to butter you up. Blonde Blazer is a very affectionate boss, towards you in particular.
Keeps asking you to talk management strategy as an excuse to get you to grab lunch with her, as if you were anywhere close to the same corporate level. Really respectful of your suggestions, even if its terrible advice she'll sort of delusionally rework your words in her head to seem more like what she was planning on doing in the first place.
Kind of a perky version of a dark romance ceo, love this girlboss.
