louie’s very own starter call! || @mummiform !
This evening, Louie showed up on time and without complaint, only to get chewed out for the first half an hour of his shift. Again. All because he didn’t wipe off marker from some old guy’s enclosure the night before. Why is it his job to get in the middle of the exhibits’ squabbles? Doesn’t he have enough shit to deal with from the visitors alone?
The residents get to trash the place all they want, and if he doesn’t pick up every little thing, he’s the one who gets in trouble. It’s not fair, he’s sick of it, and it ends today.
He’s looming over the sarcophagus when Nebty awakens for the night, his gaze hard and dark in the after-hours gloom of the Egyptian Wing. For a moment, he just stares at her, but once he’s certain she sees him, he brandishes his mop like a sword and sticks the end right in her face.
“Stops. Now.”
