WHO: Fugen and Rikki
WHERE: the Clinic
WHEN: Today
WARNINGS: None, probably
SUMMARY: Fugen wants to get a job at the clinic, Rikki hires him. EXCITING.
FORMAT: Paragraph to start, then whatever.

Rikki's at the front desk instead of in one of the exam rooms, waiting for her potential coworker to arrive so she could interview him. Currently she was hunched over the newspapers, looking for editorials about the clinic, which had been getting more and more frequent lately- whether that was because they'd treated more superheroes in a week recently than they had for awhile or if she and Dr. Mid-Nite were doing something right was a matter of opinion.

She's always glad to have more people offering to work at the clinic. The pay still isn't the greatest, and it's a lot of long hours and thankless work and occasionally having protesters come by and shout slurs at people entering and leaving. Still,it's still running, so she's feeling pretty pleased with herself.

Fugen had never had to go to a job interview before. He'd never needed to; all of his adult life he'd just taken everything as it came to him in the Sennin world and managed thanks to the higher branches of the school wanting him with them. So he wasn't certain exactly what to expect from this meeting with the head of the clinic. But he wasn't terribly nervous. If he could keep himself composed and polite, he was certain everything would be just fine. And he was certainly good at those two things.

Tucking a few locks of blue hair behind his ear, he padded into the clinic with his best smile.

"Hello, Miss Barnes?"

Rikki looked up and smiled brightly. "Just Rikki's fine. Welcome to the clinic." She stood up and walked out from behind the desk. "Hi. Nice to meet you in person."

She picked up her clip board and flipped through it. "Anything you want to tell me about yourself before we officially start? Or do you have any questions?"

Aagghh so sorry this took so long x____x

"It's nice to meet you as well." Fugen answered with a smile. He spared a short glance around the room.

"Do you run this clinic by yourself?" in inquired curiously.

No worries! RL is so bad about playing nice with RP time

"I don't so much run it as I do keep everything running," Rikki grinned. "And I've got lots of help, fortunately. My roomma- my friends started it up and kept it going, and I think they'd both find a way to kill me if I let it go to the dogs," she added.

"I'm not going to lie, mostly we're held together by spit, coffee, Mr. Worthington's money, and some strange brand of insanity. It's a hard job, I don't want to lie to you," she said. "In the spirit of fairness, you know?

Fugen nodded. "I expected it would be difficult. But I'd love to offer whatever help I can."

"That's what we love to hear," Rikki said brightly, tucking some hair behind her ear. "So what kind of healing do you do? Are you a doctor or do you use powers to heal people?"

[tenshi-fugen.livejournal.com]

"The latter," Fugen replied, "I received healing powers when I was ported here."

[kickinsidekick.livejournal.com]

"Well, they're really useful. Could you explain a little about how they work for me?" Rikki asked, looking curious.

"As far as I can tell, if I touch somebody it speeds up the body's own healing process by at least 80%." Always one to look at things scientifically. And this information was primarily from the one time he saw Taiitsu's burned thumb healing on its own when Fugen touched him, so it was mostly hypothesis. But it was a strong enough hypothesis that he was confident in what he found out.

"Wow. Nice. Do you know how effective it is for things like illnesses?" Rikki jots a note down on her clipboard. More healers was a definite bonus.

[tenshi-fugen.livejournal.com]

"I haven't had any experience with illness yet, I'm afraid."

"No problem. I can put you on the injuries ward until someone gets a cold and is willing to act as a guinea pig. Sounds like your powers are pretty new, but do you know yet how much of a toll they take on you?" Rikki asked, pushing her hair back. "I don't want to work you too hard. Your first week, at least."
