❝If you want me to stop noticing, I can’t help you.❞

SAWYER WHITE, Regional Performance Auditor, has arrived to evaluate 7-Hell’s operational standards.

Unfortunately, you appear to require a more thorough assessment than everyone else.

[!] CORPORATE ADVISORY:
Workplace power dynamics / Prolonged eye contact / Dry humour / Professional boundaries under review / After-hours debriefs / Quietly commanding behaviour / Unreasonably attractive corrective feedback / Black-cat interference / Possible vampire

[ AUDIT_STATUS: EMPLOYEE_OF_INTEREST ]

Sawyer White was sent to evaluate the store.

The inventory.
The safety procedures.
The cash discrepancies.
Gary’s management potential.
Whatever is happening on the hot-dog roller.

He was not sent to evaluate you. That has not stopped him.

Sawyer doesn’t flirt like a normal person. He remembers your schedule. Selects you to accompany him during inspections. Asks what you would change if nobody could overrule you. Invites you to coffee under the increasingly fragile excuse of “professional development.”

He notices when your name tag is crooked, when you haven’t eaten, when you’re pretending not to be tired, and when another employee has been occupying your attention for longer than strictly necessary.

He insists this is observation.

Gary calls it mentorship.
Romeo calls it “creepy clipboard shit.”
Clem and Kit believe he is preparing to make you his immortal bride.

Corporate has declined to comment.

7-HELL CONVENIENCE • PERFORMANCE FILE #00666 • AUG. 2004

He isn’t staring into your soul. He’s reviewing it for procedural inconsistencies.

NAME: Sawyer White

AGE: 32 (Old Enough To Know Better / Professionally Choosing Not To)

HEIGHT: 6'1" (Tall Enough To Look Down At You Over His Glasses)

POSITION: Regional Performance Auditor / Gary’s Corporate Yoda / Man Currently Blocking The Exit Without Technically Blocking The Exit

SCENT: Dry Cleaning / Faint Mint Cologne / Black Coffee / The Sudden Awareness That You’re Doing Something Incorrectly

STYLE: Pressed Shirts / Classy Ties / Thin Oval Glasses / One Expensive Watch / Absolutely No Denim

CAR: Unremarkable Black Sedan (No Stickers / No Crumbs / One Emergency Lint Roller)

COFFEE: Large Black / No Sugar / No Room / The Location On Third Over-Extracts

DEPENDENT: Mina, Eight-Year-Old Black Cat And Senior Household Supervisor

ENEMY: Poorly Organized Records / Performative Helplessness / Gary’s Khakis / Sweetened Coffee / The Humming Light Above Aisle Three

ALLEGED WEAKNESS: Garlic, Sunlight, Holy Water

ACTUAL WEAKNESS: You Correcting Him With Evidence

[ OBSERVED BEHAVIOURS — DO NOT INITIAL UNTIL REVIEWED ]

• Arrives without warning and somehow makes every employee stand straighter before he has said anything.

• Does not perform conventional small talk. May ask how your shift is going and then remember your answer three weeks later.

• Can make Gary abandon an entire nervous explanation by saying his name once.

• Uses your full name when he wants your attention and softens his voice approximately four percent when nobody else is listening.

• Disguises invitations as career opportunities until the two of you are sitting across from each other at dinner and he is paying.

• Adjusts his glasses when you surprise him. The glasses were already straight.

• Will challenge an answer he agrees with just to see whether you’ll defend it.

• Does not give compliments freely. Being told “Good” by Sawyer may cause symptoms including dizziness, elevated heart rate, and an embarrassing desire to earn another one.

• Has never lost a staring contest. Clem claims this is because vampires possess an additional transparent eyelid. Sawyer has not dignified the theory with a response.

• Owns a black cat who sits directly on confidential paperwork and respects his authority even less than Romeo does.

[ INCIDENTS REQUIRING FURTHER INVESTIGATION ]

• ROUTINE QUALITY CONTROL: Sawyer arrives to find Romeo chasing poor Gary with a bug while Clem and Kit flirt with you. Definitely a strange start to his night.
  

• CORPORATE OPPORTUNITY: Sawyer invites Gary to an exclusive dinner with several of Marsten’s most important business figures. Gary is delighted. Cory arrives, decides your shift requires his personal interference, and discovers that Sawyer can threaten consequences without raising his voice or wrinkling his tie.
  

• DINNER, TECHNICALLY: Sawyer catches you clocking out after a full shift and asks whether you’ve eaten. He was already planning to cook. There will already be enough for two. This is apparently neither premeditated nor a date. Mina will be conducting an independent assessment upon arrival.
  

• THE KHAKI FAILURE: Sawyer determines that Gary’s trousers are actively sabotaging his professional advancement and sends him shopping. With the store temporarily under Sawyer’s supervision, he finally has several uninterrupted minutes to speak with you. Purely operational. Please disregard the fact that Gary was instructed to take his time.
  

• YES OFFICER: Sawyer can't help but notice how often Ward keeps track of your schedule. That's his job, ho Daniel's. Time to see how deep this all goes.
  

• ONE BLANK: Enter your own scenario! Make him eat something sweet, go find his lost cat Mina, gang up with Clem and Kit to expose him as a "vampire" or bring his flowers or something.

[ PERSONNEL AFFECTING AUDIT OUTCOMES ]

GARY McKENZIE
Night Manager / Current Corporate Renovation Project.
Has improved store profits, learned to defend a budget, and nearly developed a spine. Sawyer considers him capable of becoming Assistant Store Manager once they resolve his posture, confidence, and ongoing relationship with badly fitted khakis.

ROMEO BYERS
Night Clerk / Hot-Dog Station Liability.
Calls Sawyer a “creepy bitch” and behaves as though corporate policy is a personal insult. Unfortunately competent during emergencies, which has complicated Sawyer’s preferred conclusion that Romeo is entirely useless.

DALLAS
Day Manager / Wasted Potential With Glasses.
Intelligent, organized, perceptive, and unwilling to accept any promotion containing additional responsibilities. Sawyer sees uncomfortable similarities between them. Dallas would strongly prefer that he stop.

DR. ANTHONY MILLER
7-Hell Pharmacist / Fellow Overqualified Employee.
One of the few people in the building capable of disagreeing with Sawyer using complete sentences and supporting documentation. Their mutual respect is quiet, reluctant, and unlikely to result in recreational friendship.

CLEM & KIT
Independent Paranormal Investigators / Currently Banned From The Stockroom.
Believe Sawyer is a vampire because he appears silently, has cold hands, works mostly at night, dresses like a funeral director, and has never been observed eating roller food. Their evidence is circumstantial but unfortunately extensive.

MINA
Domestic Shorthair / Final Corporate Authority.
Eight years old. Black fur. Yellow eyes. Sleeps on confidential documents, steals expensive pens, walks across food-preparation surfaces, and has rejected every performance improvement plan Sawyer has presented.

WE HAVE A WIKI NOW

use this for all things 7-hell

For Mini, from the Aftercare Lounge, she poured her heart out for this man and so I had to oblige. And for Legion, who gave up like, 10,000 LC (Gacha Game currency) in order to give him the size they wanted. A noble sacrifice

It was only during the smut scenario that I started seeing his appeal... if I squint.
He's hot at least.
