Come on, love me for the money

WHO: The Job Fair and You!
WHERE: A small park near City Hall
WHEN: Today
WARNINGS: Capitalism?
SUMMARY: It's the job fair. Come one, come all.
FORMAT: Para to start then whatever

It's the most wonderful time of the year. The sun is shining, the mosquitoes are biting, and it's time to think about what the hell you're doing to do with your life now that the summer is winding down. Which is probably why you've ended up at the City Hall sponsored First Semi-Annual Job Fair Spectacular.

The small park has been pretty much taken over by this event. Tables for each company/group that signed up are in rows with either a representative to speak with or a held down stack of promotional materials for any interested parties to pick up. Good luck, job hunters.

[[ooc: Each group that signed up in the OOC post will get a thread below. Even if there are only fliers there, feel free to leave a comment to let the player who runs the company know yours is interested. People manning booth, just start a thread under your group's heading with a description of what's up. Feel free to bump into people and just generally interact as well. If you have a group you'd like to add that you didn't sign up on the ooc post, feel free to add them! April did literally no vetting. Everyone is welcome.]]

Eww! Why would you think it'd be a purrince in the furst purrlace? They don't even live near castles!

[her nose crinkles in disgust. she's seen a lot of freaky amphibians in her life and she wouldn't want to get her mouth near any of them unless it was to tear their throats out]

April. [He threw up his hands, seething between them.] Don't you dare pretend that this wasn't some artful scheme of yours, to irritate me. Nothing will wash that guilt away, a million showers hardly merit the mention.
coolcubed: (∂ be on the level here.)

See? It's awful. We're in pretty firm comic book territory, so if a government official goes mad with power, I wanna be there to see it. The last time someone in my life initiated a hostile takeover, he was already insane, so there wasn't much of a slow burn.

[ from the very first glance he gets at nelson's standing, cheery, outwardly friendly booth-tending, he knows he shouldn't make eye contact. maybe zigzag around some other booths to avoid speaking proximity? this conversation could literally only end in tears.

a dude spends something like two years wrecking days with his shitty hope powers and cheeriness just gets really grating, alright.

still! nobody said making good decisions was easy, and avoidance would be effort. eridan drifts to a stop in front of the booth (in human form, less attention that way) and, rather than engaging nelson, studies the sign and its new exclamation point instead.

Kinda cheery lookin' for security detail, ain't it?

[ the way kanaya shrinks back, it might as well have been a snap. maybe she was simply expecting a harsher rejection. ]

Yes, but... Well, you haven't exactly been the most forthcoming person, either.

I'm afraid you'll have to provide a definition on that one.

I'm more worried about the little guy. [ She sighs. Beggars can't be choosers, right? At least for now. ]

A lot of the standard functions for CEO. I can't tell you how much paperwork and research I've had to review day to day. [ AND HERE IS WHERE I JUST BULLSHIT THE REST I'M SORRY JILL.

QUALITY RPING. ]
boobwindow: (don't be such a debbie downer)

[personal profile] boobwindow 2013-08-14 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ She chuckles. ]

It's some story.

[ But she's getting way off topic, isn't she? ]

Hrm, you don't even have a business card or an address I can stop by? I'm... new here, so I'm still browsing the market.

LMAO

Review is the worst part of the job, huh?

[ He laughed, and shook his head. He knew that feeling all too well, but Tony Stark was more of the sort who required constant updates on his projects, but he had the ability to do so, what with his constant email monitoring. ]

Not to mention leading them toward what you want researched. You know how the brilliant, eccentric types can be. Leave them in a room for a week, and instead of one project, you get another.

[ His voice was a touch too wry, a touch too amused with the statement. ]

Something I'm all too guilty of, I'll admit.

[ She doesn't mind so much, but it's exasperating when someone's trying to blow up Manhattan and you've got a 6:30 to attend to, but people being held hostage. Sometimes it doesn't pan out the way she wants it to, but that's why she's got Simon and other smart, capable people. She can't be everywhere, but she's just as clever; she knows how to pick her team. ]

It's always tempting, but I do try not to stray from our goals. Starrware's still got a ways to go back home before we enter the commercial sector.

In the meantime, I'd just like to help out wherever I can in this world. I don't think I can do what Lachesis wants, like punching bad guys in the face, but I'll leave it in more capable hands.

[ Like Power Girl's. Karen Starr, though... ]

Anyway, StarkTech and OsCorp's tables are the only ones I've looked at so far, although OsCorp isn't completely up my alley.

Xanatos Enterprises is... well. [ Tony only needs to look at the sad, little table to see what she means. ]
liverletdie: (Analogue Reading)

[personal profile] liverletdie 2013-08-14 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Tony could play it off so easily, barely acknowledging OsCorp, but his eyes flicked in that direction, jaw clenched slightly, and the it was gone.

Well, saying he didn't like the CEO was putting it mildly. He only shifted a glance toward Xanatos Enterprises, before moving on.
]

Well, I'm honored you came looking to StarkTech. I can understand the feeling on heroics, although we definitely don't discriminate whether you do or don't spend your off hours trying to stop a few muggers. I do it myself from time to time.

[ Well, more like constantly, but he tried to limit exposure to the Iron Man side of things, if at all possible. ]

Well, Miss Starr, what can Starktech do for you, is what I'm starting to ask. I'm starting to think you could do a lot for whatever company you decided to work for.

I don't think so, no. [she deflates a little, but perks up fairly quickly as an idea strikes her] But if you've got a piece of paper on you I can purrobably write it down!

[personal profile] onmyneck 2013-08-14 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
List them.

[She thinks about it for a few seconds.]

Actually, maybe it would be best if you looked them up. I'm not sure I could describe it without heavy sarcasm.
