May Patreon Pictures - "A New Permi-nent Position" (Patreon)

(Here's a new thing I'm going to be trying for you all here on Patreon. You guys will get to see the Patreon reward pictures here first, along with a Patreon-exclusive vignette. Here's the first one, a reward done for Permi!)

--------------

For a company that claimed to have a ton of employees, you sure didn't see too many people in the office. There was no shortage of equipment and furniture, though oddly enough they all seemed to have different designs. That was a bit odd-- surely an office would just order a bunch of the same furniture instead of a bunch of different models. And from the looks of things, they were all custom designs, too...

Then again, it's not fair to make judgements right away. Maybe the head of the company would explain things during the interview? You reach his office and knock on the door.

"Come in!"

You open the door and see him. The boss, a Raboot, is a bit smaller than you expected... but again, not fair to judge. He certainly has presence, even though he's the only one in the room, it feels like there's at least five pairs of eyes looking at you as you step into his office.

"Hallo! Ich bin Herr Permi."

Oh, that's right-- this is one of those fancy European firms. Maybe that explains all the avant garde stuff. You can swear half of the office supplies on his desk are staring back at you. Actually... that tape dispenser has eyes!

"I have great news for you," said Permi, smiling like a child looking at a new toy, "you're already hired!"

A few minutes ago, you would have been elated at that news, but there's a sinking feeling in your stomach. Something's wrong...

"So, are you ready to join the team? You don't have to answer. Es ist zu spät to turn back anyways."

You suddenly realize what's going on, but as you try to turn to run, you only manage to spin around on your wheels. Wait a second, wheels?! You look down and see that your legs aren't the same ones you walked in with-- they look just like the base of a rolling office chair! That's not-- that can't be--

"I was just thinking how badly I needed a new chair. After all, I can't be the boss without a nice fancy chair to sit in. You'll do perfectly."

As your transformation progresses and your arms turn into armrests, Permi takes you by the shoulders-- err, backrest and wheels you behind his desk. He takes a seat in you, leaning back and smirking. You shudder a little, this couldn't be happening right? This was a dream, surely...

Sensing your concern, Permi laughed. "Look at it this way, mein Freund, you've already made it to the best office in the whole company! How lucky!"

Yeah, lucky you... Getting to be the butt of the joke again.
