!2003: 09, !incomplete, alixandr savage, nikolai 'niki' urquhart

Who: Niki Urquhart and Alix Savage.
When: September 24th. 1pm.
Where: WWW.
What: Interview-type-thing.
Rating: Low.
Status: Closed/Incomplete.

Niki hadn't told Braxton that he had an interview. Incase he didn't get it, because he knew that was quite the possibility. It might have surprised people that he had even volunteered. But he thought that Braxton might be pleased if he got a job, and he did have an urge to make Braxton happy. Braxton was one of the only people who was good to him these days and didn't brush him off as a complete nutter.

He had 'borrowed' one of Braxton's shirts though, and did a shrinking spell on it, since he was a good deal smaller than his cousin. He also decided to borrow a tie, because the only ties he had... well, one had skulls on it, the other little cartoon zombies, and he decided that neither was probably a good idea.

So he ended up dressed in a black button up shirt, black trousers and a white tie. He looked a bit like he was going to audition for an undertaker, but at least he was tidy. He even combed his hair.

"We have to be good," he told the voice as he approached the joke shop. Which he had always liked quite a bit. It was so colourful and filled with interesting things. Niki stepped through the doors and his eyes darted around. He had to coach himself not to get distracted, and instead looked for someone who met the lawyer's description.

When he saw him - he did look rather lawyer-y - Niki went over. "Savage?" he asked, because he didn't know the man's first name. Or second name? Well, he only knew one name.

"People try to sue over product mishaps," Alix said casually. He really didn't want to go into the details in the middle of the store, and he certainly didn't want to talk about it with Niki if he wasn't going to hire him. He doubted that he would speak about it even if he did take on the boy as an intern.

He remained quiet as Niki answered his question, turning over what the lad said in his mind. He didn't really have motivation other than simply wanting to prove his usefulness. So he wasn't out to gain anything specific from working for the twins, and he didn't really seem to be lying.

It twisted his arm a little to think that by dismissing him, he might be labeling him as useless. That wasn't what he wanted, "I can assure you that you're not useless. Perhaps you're not meant to do particular things, but no one is utterly without use," he said. Why he was trying to be the least bit comforting, he wasn't sure. In some ways...when he looked at Niki he almost thought of a child. He seemed a bit harmless.

"This slot is currently only temporary. I'll have to talk with Fred and George about it. If you prove that you can do the job efficiently after a bit of instruction on how I would like it done, then it's possible that you'd be taken on until the task is finished. After that, it would be up in the air as to whether or not another task would be found."

"Oh." Niki looked very thoughtful as he considered this. And decided that it did make sense. There were a lot of explosive products. And products that made people sick. And changed them. And some people got cranky about that sort of thing.

"How do you know?" he asked curiously, because they had only just met! Still, it was rather nice of the man to say so. Niki liked nice people. There were too many rude people out there and cruel.

"I don't mind temporary," he assured the man. "Temporary is better than not at all." Sometimes, he was randomly wise in his simplicity. Any job would be better than no job, and even if it ended, well, it would be a step forward. And Braxton could see that he could work a job! And he could make money. He had some money, from his Mother, who couldn't bear cutting him off, even in his 'weird' state.
