Atton's getting ready to interview somebody.

In his case, this means wearing menacing looking sunglasses as he fiddles about with mechanical parts on the table. The sunglasses are interview-related, the parts not so much.

Botherable.

[The post is for a bartending interview, but it's not plotlocked.]

Her eyes widen in surprise.

"Do I know the telepathic woman ahead of time?"

She... doesn't think she really gets the question at all.

"Well, whether I do or not, I'd put on my gloves and hurry to wherever she is. She's probably in trouble if her cries are waking me up in the middle of the night."
antishinra: (neutral)

She raises an eyebrow, but at this point the strangeness of the question is almost expected.

Almost.

"Definitely water."
antishinra: (listening)

She tips her head to one side, seemingly taking it very seriously.

"I like the texture better, but if it does reduce the taste, you've picked the wrong brand. The bartenders here aren't paid in tuna, are they?"

Now those, she's pretty sure, are serious questions.

After what's come already, she's not surprised he wore sunglasses for the interview.

"I'm definitely not an alcoholic." Bartenders and alcoholism aren't a good mix. "And I think the closest I've ever been to dead is a week-long coma."
antishinra: (neutral)

It's another question she's not sure she gets, but she answers quickly enough. "Tastes great, of course."

She idly watches him jotting down notes, but doesn't make any attempt to actually read whatever's being written.

"If it tastes good enough, no one minds if it's filling."

Her face softens a little.

"Because I enjoy it. Because it's something I'm good at."

She absently makes a loose fist with her hand and then flexes her fingers again.

"And there's always the fact that it'd give me something to do with myself while I'm here."
antishinra: (smiling knowingly)

She wasn't tense to start with, but something in her shoulders relaxes a little anyway.

"If I get the job, should I be prepared to defend my stance on tuna?"

She smiles for a moment.

"But seriously, do bartenders here usually wake up to telepathic women in their heads?"
antishinra: (braced for the worst)

At first she's reassured, but then she raises her eyebrows.

"I thought you probably were one."

She gives him a wary look.

"Unless you really are doing this just for the cake."
antishinra: (smiling knowingly)

Well, so long as it hasn't happened to him, she guesses it's not exactly a frequent thing.

"I guess that's it then." She straightens in her seat. "Do you... have any idea when I might know the outcome?"

"I'll keep an eye on it."

Rising from her chair, she gives him a smile.

"It was nice meeting you."
