Topic: you're doing it wrong

Since Marcus left his post and Sin could think of no suitable alternate who could do anywhere near the effectiveness of the man's job, flyers advertising the open position at A.E. soon went up.

Every morning, Sabine would open the office and find a new interview transcript on her desk for her review; if she approved and Sinjin approved, the applicant in question would move on to Bastian. Cup of coffee in hand, she settled into her chair and looked at the flash drive on her desk. Attached to it, the sticky note labelled "NO" was boldly written in Sinjin's messy scrawl. Sighing, Sabine turned on her computer and plugged the flash drive in to investigate the first of many interviews.

SIN: How the f*ck does this thing even work? Am I doing it right?

SAL: You're asking the wrong f*cking person, mi alma.

SIN: F*ck all. It better be wo--



SIN: Ah, sh*t. He's here early. Look intimidating or professional or-- something.



SIN: Mister Dale -- correct? A pleasure meeting you.

DALE: Likewise. I hope you don't mind that I'm early.

SIN: Of course not. Please, have a seat.



SIN: This is my associate, Salvador Delahada. He'll be observing your interview today, for the most part. Having looked over your resume, it's quite impressive -- what makes you want to work within Ambrosio?

DALE: Your company seems very successful, despite the turbulent times.

SIN: Turbulent--?

DALE: Proposition thirty-seven?

SIN: Oh, yes. Generally speaking, the company remains outside of politics, with the exception of the campaign for governor. But Ambrosio has never had problems insofar as business.

DALE: Of course! What sort of work do you see me doing here for you?

SIN: There's a variety of tasks that come under your position. Managing finances and future business contacts as well as maintaining yourself as a liaison between A.E. and business we patron or work with on Earth as well as in Rhy'din.

DALE: What sort of businesses?

SIN: We service-- a variety of companies and their needs.

DALE: So you deal with-- unnaturals?



SIN: Pardon?

DALE: Magic users.



SAL: Are you f*cking serious?

SIN: Salvad--

DALE: You can't actually be working with those kinds of people, supporting them.

SIN: ..You're joking, right? You realize that this is Rhy'din? This place is built off magic.

DALE: And it's being destroyed by it. It can't be controlled -- and you and your company are part of the problem.

SAL: What the f--



SIN: F*CK! --Really? Really, did y-- you just frigging shot me! You really did!

SAL: Can I have his eyes?

SIN: He shot me! Like, in the leg! What the hell! That doesn't even make sense!



SIN: You got blood on my desk-- ew.

SAL: F*cking idiot.

SIN: Oh god, he's oozing on the comput--

SAL: How's the leg?

SIN: Fine, but if I get shot again I'm going to be really pissed.

SAL: Who's next?

SIN: Let's see-- A Mr. A. E. Gator. Sounds French.



SIN: That must be him now. Come in, come in!



SAL: Seriously?

SIN:



GATOR: This is the interview for a position at Ambrosio Enterprises, yes?

SIN:

SAL: No.

GATOR: Erm. But-- This is the address. Is, um, he Mr. Fai?

SIN:

SAL: Yes. Uh. Position's been filled, though. You can leave now. Thanks for stopping by.

GATOR: Oh. Well. That's disappointing. I was really looking forward to--

SAL: No, really. Door's this way.



GATOR: Are you really sure the position's been filled? My resume's--

SAL: I'm sure it's the most impressive resume that's ever been, uh, resumed. Bye-bye now.



SIN:

SAL: Really? A. E. Gator? French? Really.

SABINE: I'm very sorry, sir. Mister Fai wanted to interview you personally, but the recent storms have him busy.

LEE: Oh, that's fine. I'm sure I'll get the opportunity to speak with him another time. Will you be conducting the interview, then?

SABINE: Yes, I will. Please, have a seat, Mister Lee.



SABINE : It seems your resume is geared in a different direction than business management. It says here that you're.. a professor?

LEE: A chemist, yes.

SABINE: So what, ah-- decided the change of pace?

LEE: Nothing traumatic. Everybody has different skillsets, and though I don't have a degree for it, I think business management is something I could have a hand in pretty well.

SABINE: AE works with several businesses on this planet as well as Earth. The position you're hiring for requires you to be a liaison between planets, as well as businesses, and in some cases requires quite a bit of traveling.

LEE: I'm originally from Earth and I still have several colleagues there, so I think I could manage that end of things fairly well. This is one of those 'trial by fire' jobs, isn't it?

SABINE : Something like that, yes. It's a job where you're expected to learn the ropes very quickly and work with people who might be less than favorable.

LEE: Sounds exciting.

SABINE: Well, Doctor Lee -- even if you are a chemist, you still have a very strong resume. I'll forward your application to our company's presid---



SABINE: --o-Oh! Mister Marcus!

LEE: Pardon?

MARCUS: Miss Sabine. I take it this is one of the applicants?

SABINE: Y--yes, sir.

LEE: Yes, hello, my name is--

MARCUS: Let's see it, then.



MARCUS: Doctor Lee, is it?

LEE: Yes, as I was sayi--

MARCUS: I see you are entirely unqualified for this position. How fascinating.

LEE: Well, I was just tell--

MARCUS: Interplanetary business development and investments are, shockingly, very dissimilar to teaching underdeveloped college students, Doctor Lee.

LEE: That might be true, but I've--

MARCUS: The position has been filled. Thank you for your time.

LEE: What?

MARCUS: Please see yourself out. Good Afternoon.



LEE: Well, fuck you too.



SABINE: Oh, thank god, Marcus. It's been horrible without you.

MARCUS: I'm sorry, Sabine. I didn't plan for this to take so long.

SABINE: Did you get it?

MARCUS: Yes, with some difficulty. I had to bargain my way back here. I need to speak with Bastian.

SABINE: Is that what you wanted Sin for? Oh, Marcus..

MARCUS: I didn't have a choi-- damnit, Sabine, are you still recording this?
