Go with the flow
You join them and get in on the conversation.
"So ladies, what's the hot gossip today?" you say.
Kumi spins around to you in her swiveling chair, her tails guiding her along the way so she doesn't keep spinning.
"Well, since you've asked, I've got some new info about how they plan to...reorganize us given the shifting of powers."
"You don't say? Spill..."
Before Kumi has a chance to speak, she is cut off by the thunderous voice of your boss..This man is gigantic, like a brick shithouse of a man. He's busting out of his white shirt, the buttons barely able to close. He is not fat, indeed, there is little fat on him. He's all muscle, and the muscle looks angry. His sculpted hair and long beard are grey, but his face is red with anger.
Your friends scatter back to your cubicle while you slowly slink back to your desk.
