WHAT in person
WHERE THE MALL AND OTHER PLACES OF BUSINESS
WHEN DAY """""8"""" VERY POSSIBLY ANY TIME ON DAY EIGHT

[THERE IS A GUY IN A SLICK MAROON SUIT who for once in his life has his tie done all the way up like he wants to be professional or something.

He's wandering around job hunting.

Maybe he will poke his head into your place of business to see if you are hiring!!

Maybe you should leave a comment here, being at work, so he can do that.]

[LuXe!!! this is the gaudiest place you have ever seen in your entire space life. everyone here is suspicious. Including the barista. He sees Orga looking lost and smiles!]

You're a new face!

[ Jessica is rolling cinnamon rolls at the Sinnybunz when Orga stops by ]

Oh my, aren't you well dressed?

[ what a good boy ]

[Wow that was a lot of smiling just because I walked in the door.

This looks like a place McMaurdo would patron.

Hah.

Lifts a hand.]

Aa... I arrived last night. Is it that rare?

[Coming over to look curiously at what she is doing.]

I guess so. Is it too much?

Not exactly, but a face like yours sticks out. Come on in.

Does it?

[Coming in.]

Thanks. Though... I'm not actually here to get anything. Just looking into what sort of work is available.

[Oh hey, an actual adult in Heavenly Grounds. We don't get a ton of those.

Tony is sitting outside at a patio table and sees him approach.]

Well, you're new.

That's twice now. Do I stand out that much...?

[maybe that's bad??]

It's the suit. Also, we don't get a ton of new people. Enjoy the spotlight.

[starts making a mocha latte]

Well, you're in luck! Just about every place in Quiet Mounds is hiring. What kind of work are you looking for?

I guess it's fine. You're supposed to look professional when you want to get a job, right?

[Looking around... sort of. Confused]

Do you also... sell coffee here...

You got it. Welcome to Pointless Consumerism Hollow, I take it that's means you've been to LuXe?

[ she smiles up at him, cheerful and reassuring. ]

I don't think so. There isn't anything wrong with putting effort into making a good first impression.

[ dough gets flattened out with a rolling pin, slathered with a very generous helping of butter and gets a generous spread of cinnamon and brown sugar over that before it's rolled and cut. It's the kind of sight that could make arteries harden before the bun is baked and consumed. ]

Would you like a sample?

It's literally just across the street.

There aren't even that many people here, are there?

Nope. But you would not believe how caffeinated they all are.

[You seem congenial and easy to talk to for an adult.

Suspicious.

But he'll go with it.]

Aa well, apparently the sort of work I usually do isn't something they hire for around here. So I'm just lining up my options, right now.

[this is all apparently pretty fascinating to Orga. Man when is the last time he took the time out to watch something mundane like Atra cooking. And she never made stuff like this, sugar is damn expensive.

He looks a little surprised at the offer, but nods]

This is some kind of dessert?

[ She hoists up a tray of samples in cute little paper cups, warm and glistening with gooey cream cheese frosting ]

Traditionally, cinnamon rolls are a breakfast food, but if you're not in the mood for something this heavy and sweet first thing in the morning, they're good at any time, especially with coffee from either one of the shops in town.

Hah. Well, this place is less stuffy. Are you the owner?

I am. Tony Stark. [he holds out a hand to shake, but doesn't get up] Looking for a job?

Orga Itsuka.

[Shakes his hand]

Yeah. I was told there are a lot of places to work around here, so I figured I would look around.

[Grins]

That's quite the sales pitch. Thanks.

[grabs one of the cups and throws it down. And his eyes widen slowly as he feels it out.]

Hooh, it's so sweet.

[looking him over]

What would you be doing if you weren't in a minimum wage hellscape? What's your 'thing'?

[Kind of a vague smile]

Boss of Tekkadan, a private security company.

Never heard of it. Does that make you a bodyguard or an engineer?
