Morning everyone! Glad no one was in any earthquakes! I should go catch up on the IC's then. :D
Done! Go ahead Fox. :D
Los Paraisos: The Grande Diamond - Conference Room
Dylan beamed in triumph when he saw Lady Vasco’s reaction to his drawing, the way she raised her hand to her throat, her eyes wide in shock. He was certain that he impressed her, but he could only hope that it was what she was looking for. She held his slate clutched in her hand as Aria presented a dazzling display of dexterity, eventually passing it back as Lucy performed...animal impressions? What on Ddear?
Pulling a cloth from his bag, he wiped his slate clean as the others presented before storing safely in the bag. The other displays were quite interesting, ranging from a beautiful performance by Selan to a blunt display of alcoholic knowledge by Thunderhawk. He certainly was a character.
"I think we should give you a test run. Business will pick up in around three hours, it will be a perfect opportunity to see you put those skills into motion. You will be fitted with your uniforms in two hours and given a quick briefing before you begin."
Dylan smiled - that was easier than he expected. As long as he could get changed away from prying eyes everything should be fine. And it looked like they were even getting a tour of the place! Getting to his feet as Lady Vasco departed with Selan and Marcus in tow, Dylan approached Mordie. “Hello,” he said softly in his demure lady-voice. “My name is Diane, pleased to meet you.”

Los Paraisos: The Grande Diamond - Conference Room
Dylan watched as the other’s presented themselves much in the same manner that he had, and he was quite impressed by their performances. There was nothing that would give them away. Still, it seemed that the first stage of the interview had not sold Lady Vasco on them.
"Now, my turn for honesty. Right now, not all of you seem suitable for the job. You will need to change my mind. I want actions and demonstrations, not words and empty promises. I want proactive people with initiative. I want you all to show me what you can do, not just tell me."
Demonstrations? Actions? What did she want them to do? He didn’t really have an idea of what the jobs were, exactly. Were they supposed to be waitress? Hostess? Companions of some sort. Besides, how on Ddear where they supposed to prove any of their skills with the test she had just asked for? All she wanted was to see them walk.
"I want you all to show me you want this job, yes? Give me an example of your skills."
“Well,” Dylan began, ensuring that he kept the bite of out his voice. He was only mostly successful, “if I’m to show off my talents then I will need my materials.” Reaching into the bag that he had slipped over his shoulder during his make-over - really these things were so useful! Why didn’t men carry them? - he pulled out his slate and chalk.
“I have found that many people are charmed by art, especially if you create something that the person values. Sometimes even that doesn’t matter, as they just wish to show off their knowledge and thus any old drawing will do.” He sketched as he talked, quickly drawing a stunning reproduction of Lady Vasco. He was limited by his medium, unable to do much fine shading or line-work, but the likeness flowing from his fingers was unmistakable. “But sometimes you can tell from a simple conversation what he will want to see the most. And often it will be something to flatter his vanity.”
Finished with his work, he placed his slate down on the table, edging it towards Lady Vasco. “I am quite skilled with other mediums as well.”

“Mistress wants a green tea?” Bart replied. “Sure, I can get you a green tea, if you give me a back and foot massage.”
Heather rolled her eyes. “Of course,” she said without turning away from the screen, “but I was just thinking that you could, for once, do something useful. You see, here I am monitoring an unusual situation. You never know what such a strange group could be up to. But you, Bart, are simply eating and staring at tits. So yes, you can get me a green tea because at least then you would help me do my job since you are so incompetent at your own.”
The group was now past the first stage of the interview, and Heather could see that they had yet to impress Lady Vasco. Perhaps they would finish up and depart with no trouble at all. But Heather had a bad feeling, and she would keep a sharp eye on the group until she was sure.
Even if that meant she had to stay in the room with Bart.
Since Buns has posted, I'll call the next one!
Los Paraisos: The Grande Diamond - Conference Room
He was sitting very still, one ankle hooked behind the other to achieve a demure feminine pose without needing to cross his legs. There was only so much he could physically manage to do. Holding his hands down in his lap, he waiting quietly until Lady Vasco arrived, too nervous to speak. What if his voice cracked? What if he gave up the game and ruined it for everyone? No, silence was better.
Soon enough Lady Vasco appeared, the disdain evident in her voice before she schooled herself. Apparently the disguises weren’t that great. He could feel a bead of sweat growing at the nape of his neck - damn this wig was hot! - and shifted uncomfortably in his seat. Staring down at his hands, he waited for her to pick him out of the line up.
"You're rather plain," Iliana once more made no effort to lower her voice. "Very good facial structure though. We can work with that."
Dylan peeked to the side, almost sure that it was Thunderhawk. But no, it was Xan. He huffed at the comment. Sure she’d didn’t have the same glamour as Selan or Aria did, but she was a stunning woman none the less, albeit in a more austere way. Lady Vasco released the metallurgist, returning to the head of the table and giving her little speech. Aislin, she was pompous.
"So the basics for now. One at a time, I want you to walk the length of this room. As you do so I want your names, ages, and why you are applying for the job. Understand?"
Dylan slowly got to his feet, handing his wobblyness by placing one hand to the table to brace himself. “Well, might as well get it done,” he said softly as he stepped back from the table, taking great care to control his voice. He remembered his sister’s way of speaking, the light tone to her voice, the higher pitch that was surprisingly easy for him to copy.
He took great pains to follow Selan’s teachings as he crossed the room, keeping his steps light, short, and firm. “My name is Diane, I am 21, and I want this job because,” he turned back around, glancing up at Lady Vasco from under his bangs, “I am very good at knowing what men what. Sometimes before they even realize it themselves.”
With a spring in his step, he returned to his seat and the same, demure position he had before.

“Do not slurp,” Heather said as she entered the room, slipping past her coworker on his way out. Not giving Bart any other kind of acknowledgement, she took the now empty seat next to him and turned to the monitor that displayed the Conference Room. Having women show up to interview for this job wasn’t strange, but having them appear so quickly and in such a large group without an appointment? That was weird.
She eyed the group critically, the angles allowing her to inspect them as Lady Vasco entered the room. It was a strange mix. Though the video quality wasn’t exceptional, she could still easily tell that some of the women were far more stunning that the others. Was that their game? Coming with prettier friends and hoping to get tossed a bone? Seemed like a poor idea to her mind as it only stressed their inadequacies.
Perhaps it was nothing, but Heather O’Roark was nothing if not thorough. And there would be no shenanigans pulled on her watch.
Leaning back in her chair, she switched the audio to play from the Conference Room. “Bart, grab me a tea. A green tea,” she commanded as she turned her attention on the scene playing out before her.
Working on a Dylan post now. Heather to follow.
