307 - Career day mingle
[ Career day has come to Marina and Sector 0 is abuzz with activity! Booths have been erected, some of them with information about the existing establishments, some of them empty for inmates to man if they feel like advertising their business and one dedicated to the process of starting something completely new. Each establishment comes with its own information poster about career opportunities, but they all follow the same basic principle:

Restaurants, bars and cafés — Waiter, dishwasher, cook, bartender, cleaning and maintenance staff.
Shops and stores — shop clerk, stock assistant, cleaning and maintenance staff.
Hospital — Cleaning and maintenance staff
Athletic Center — cleaning and maintenance staff. Cleaning staff for the horse stable need to be vetted before employed.
Prison maintenance — cleaning and maintenance staff, gardening.

While the career day is mostly geared towards commercial establishments, there's also space reserved for the school and defence force. Bots will be readily available to answer questions and streamline the application process for inmates that wish to take over or start a new establishment. ]

((ooc: The career day has begun! Mingle and be merry! More information can be found on the event post, which is also where you should direct your questions! ))

	Secondhand Store nico_di_angelo 2015-01-23 10:40 pm UTC (link)
	[After some internal debate, Nico set up a small section for the Secondhand Store. Like - a sign. The store is small, and he's done alright running it on his own. But he does have other things he'd like to do. And he has to (begrudgingly) admit his health isn't all that great right now. He could use the help.] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You're really putting yourself out there. [ Haruka seems quite impressed by your booth, Nico. Or maybe she's just coming over to be a good-natured jerk. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-01-25 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	[He's worried if she's impressed by his unremarkable display. Far too easy to please.] A little help couldn't hurt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is running a store that difficult? [ She wouldn't know. She just absconds with half the stock in the bike store twice a week. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-01-25 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	It's not. It's a small store. But I can't always be there, and I don't want bots getting involved. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2015-01-26 03:03 pm UTC (link)
	No kidding. [ A smirk. She's still looking over the "booth". It's reminding her she's yet to check out this store... ] How's business? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-01-26 07:06 pm UTC (link)
	Pretty good, actually. Better than I'd thought it would. I've got enough donations in now that it has decent selection to offer. The turn-around is picking up. [He is weirdly proud of this.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2015-01-27 02:26 pm UTC (link)
	[ Haruka's guessing as much from the way the topic helps him open up. ] One man's treasure, I guess. [ It's also making her think about stuff she's talked about with Kitty. She's managed to pick up a key as part of an event. What if other people have important stuff they don't know about? What if they get rid of it? She looks thoughtful. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-01-28 09:55 pm UTC (link)
	Right. You should come by sometime. [Bring your girlfriend he only met in a dream but doesn't know is your girlfriend.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2015-01-29 02:33 am UTC (link)
	[ They are often together! It's possible. ] You never know. [ Oh, she's coming. Thanks to this reminder, she's definitely stopping by for a look. ] Good luck hunting the help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-01-29 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks. See you around, then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Save me something nice. [ And off she breezes. Nico's store. She'll remember that now. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)

[It is with great reluctance that Nathan shuffles up to Nico's booth, hands stuffed in his pockets and shoulders hunched. He doesn't exactly want a job, but sitting around the apartment all day probably isn't making him any less crazy. A secondhand store sounds like the least terrible place to work, given the current offerings, and it can't be hard work.]

So... this is like a thrift store? You give the stuff that people don't want to other people?

	nico_di_angelo 2015-01-31 06:27 am UTC (link)
	[Congratulations. You found maybe one of the laziest jobs. Get stuff, sort stuff, hang stuff, done.] Um ... Yeah. That's the gist of it. Turns out it wasn't a crappy idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2015-02-07 02:59 am UTC (link)
	It's weird, though. I mean, everything's free here. It doesn't make sense to get stuff that's not new. [Because telling a potential employer that their business is a kooky idea is a great choice.] You need help? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-02-07 05:19 am UTC (link)
	But what do you do with the stuff you don't want anymore? It's a shame to throw perfectly good things away. [Are you asking that after calling his business weird?] I could use some, yeah. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2015-02-07 06:07 am UTC (link)
	I guess I haven't had anything I wanted to get rid of yet. [And yes, he is. Tact is not a thing with which Nathan is particularly well-acquainted.] I'm kind of looking for something to do. I've never had a job before, but I'm not stupid and I can learn how to do whatever. [He's really selling himself.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-02-07 06:32 am UTC (link)
	Well, it's pretty simple. You really just need to stay on top of the donations when they come in, keep the place looking nice. If you're serious, stop in when you're ready, and I'll show you what to do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2015-02-08 02:45 am UTC (link)
	That's all I have to do? Seriously? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-02-08 03:15 am UTC (link)
	Pretty much. [Shrug!] It's my first job. And business. I'm still figuring out ways to make it better. I'd welcome any ideas. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2015-02-08 05:23 am UTC (link)
	Even if I had ideas, you wouldn't want to listen to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-02-08 05:45 am UTC (link)
	[That is usually Nico's line. He's never been on the other side of this conversation before...] Um ... Sure I would. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2015-02-08 11:01 pm UTC (link)
	[They might have more in common than looking sickly and sleep-deprived.] Yeah, well... it's easy to say that now. [He shifts nervously.] When should I start? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-02-09 06:09 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, um... [He tucks his hands under his arms, then untucks them.] Whenever, I guess. I mean, whenever you'd like to start. I'm there every morning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2015-02-10 05:48 am UTC (link)
	Thanks. I'll be around. [He's forgetting something here. What is it?] ...My name's Nathan. Nathan Harris. I don't think we talked before. [He doesn't offer a hand to shake or anything. Sorry.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
