Thread: A Fresh Start (Razgriz x Candira)

Lori was left to deal with the club today. Dell, their head of security had something of a family emergency, Kelly was busy with a client, and Eli had meetings with their fellow business associates today. So she was left all by herself to handle the interviews, the club, and any interested customers. Sighing, she wished that Kate would hurry and move in already--she was going to be a general manager, helping to keep both the club and the brothel in order. Kate was a jack of all trades, but she made bank by designing. In fact, she'd done most of the club and brothel, with notes from Eli and Kelly. But even as she yearned for less responsibility, the earpiece she wore to keep her informed on the floor chirped and the bouncer's question was relayed to her. She sighed and pressed the button for the microphone to transmit her voice. Well, they said he'd have an escort. We do have an appointment for 245 with an applicant going by the name, 'Tank.' If that's who it is, let him and his escort through. I'll great them in the foyer. With that, she took off for her destination. Her heels clacked on the floor, and while she was very business like, her attire was pretty much the same as last night's. Her hair was loose, straight and shiny. She only hoped that this interview wouldn't be as needlessly complicated as arranging for Tank to arrive to work. So it was that the little lady was waiting for Agent Smith and Tank when the bouncer let them through. She smiled softly and waited for them to come closer before she introduced herself. Hello there, you must be here for the interview. I'm Lori, the assistant manager here at the club. I'll be interviewing you today. Our head of security has had a bit of a family emergency, so he had to take off for the day. Our owners are busy in meetings today, so it's just us. She smiled in a cool professional way at the agent and the escort of soldiers, putting a little more warmth into it for the big guy who looked a little nervous.

So sorry about the delay. RL just came up to bite me in the ass The bouncer acknowledged Lori, nodding as he waved them through. Most of the activity in the main room came to a standstill as the impressive brigade trudged through though most of the attention seemed to be focused on Tank. No surprise, considering he didn't exactly blend in with the workforce or the client-base. But still, it made the man noticeably uncomfortable Smith's voice then snapped him out of his little daze, Tank Yes, Mr. Smith? was Tank's reply, to which Smith stated rather rudely, Remember, keep your mouth shut, lest you do something that leaves without work. Tank just nodded solemnly Smith knew best, after all. Eventually, they arrived at the foyer to be greeted by an incredibly attractive woman. Some of Smith's soldiers whispered to each other, their expressions and gestures showing they were clearly impressed by how well this woman took care of herself. Smith, however, remained unwaveringly stoic, his shades-covered eyes peering right through this woman. This hussy is the assistant manager? he thought to himself though he shouldn't be surprised. This hole, not worth the ground it was built on....This sewer of sin and lust should be burned to the ground, he thought. Tank's thoughts, however, were more focused on turning his head away when she smiled up at him. His cheeks were noticeably red very few women smiled at him likely, and it made him surprisingly bashful. But, he was here for an interview, so he took a deep breath and started to speak, raising a sizable hand as a greeting however, Smith slapped his hand down abruptly and retorted, What did I tell you? Tank turned his head away, feelign a slight bit of shame Smith told him to let him do the talking. Smith stifled his unpleasant thoughts and said, Hello, Lori. My name is James Smith. I spoke with the head of security at this.....establishment. There was a noticeable sprinkling of condescension on the word 'establishment', somewhat betraying what he really thought. You'll have to forgive Tank he then said, motioning to the titan by his side before continuing, He has some 'difficulties' regarding social contact. Of course, Lori might be to see that Tank was no ordinary man though whether she had any knowledge of the ATLAS Project remained to be seen. Regardless, Smith continued, I appreciate you being able to squeeze us in on such short notice. I apologize for any difficulties that arose due to scheduling this interview. The details weren't discussed over the phone, but we do need some place more.....private. If you have it available.

Lori was actually pretty shocked that the sour puss leading the charge had the sheer nerve to smack Tank's hand away from her like that. Still, she kept a pleasant face, as if to say there was no need to worry. It was for the sake of the giant who at least appeared to be gentle. Actually, Mr. Smith was it? He was being polite and offering a handshake, something I would expect from any normal interviewer. He doesn't seem to be our of the loop at all. Perhaps you're all simply anxious. From what I gather, you don't do this very often, so let me take you to our office, she said with a polite smile. With that, she turned and led the way to a rather large room that Eli usually used. It was hers to use for this meeting. Now then, Mr. Smith, I should tell you that while I appreciate your input in this interview, the questions will be directed to Tank, and he will be expected to answer all of them. After all, I'm not hiring you, and you won't be with him all the time while he is working. Therefore, I would appreciate it if you let him handle himself for me to be able to get a clear judgement. She really disliked the man who seemed to be pulling the strings. It could be a simple aversion to authority, but she liked to believe that she had more complex feelings than that regarding people in general. It was pretty easy to see that Smith hated his job, his charge, the Blue Moon, and she herself. Until he actually did something to fully prove his disdain, she would continue to be oh-so-polite and reasonable. She could just tell, however, that her newest demand would not please Smith. It was a nice little bonus to think that while she was making him fairly comfortable physically, he was increasingly uncomfortable mentally. She only hoped that he wouldn't take it out on the big guy. Her attention once again shifted to Tank and she smiled again. Would you like some water? she asked, gesturing to a mini fridge.

Even though Lori couldn't see it because of the dark shades he wore, Smith's eyes flashed a little as she scolded him about slapping Tank's hand. Did she not realize the giant could easily crush her like an ant if she wasn't careful? So that put her knowledge of the ATLAS program - in his eyes, at least - on the ignorance end of things. Regardless, the ensemble of military might followed after her Smith instructed his soldiers to wait outside and be ready at his command. After that was taken care of, they were seated in the office and ready to begin Tank's own seat creaked quite loudly when he sat down. Lori would be right on the money with her little 'request' this woman was playing with forces she didn't fully understand, and frankly it annoyed him at her laxedasical attitude towards all this. Granted, this was a public establishment, so he couldn't legally do much of anything, and he wasn't about to jeopardize his career by letting his baser emotions get the better of him. It wasn't so much he disliked his job He LOATHED the prospect of having to play caretaker to one of these freaks. The ATLAS soldiers, from his perspective, had served their purpose and deserved the fate all worthless tools were slated to undergo. Disposal, plain and simple. But he knew he was in the minority with that respect, given that despite Tank's own experiences in the base, those of the general public and those serving in the Armed Forces cried out heavily for a more 'humane' approach to dealing with the remaining supersoldiers. The fact was, there was surprisingly larger demand for rehabilitation and reconditioning than the simpler approach of extermination. Tank replied to Lori's question of refreshments, No thank you, ma'am. I'm quite alright. He then turned to his handler and said, Are you thirsty, Mr.... but was cut off curtly, but with an even tone by Smith, If I needed a drink, I would ask for one, Tank. Tank just nodded and sat silently. Smith then spoke again, his tone conveying mild disdain for her stinging remarks, Now....Lori, wasn't it?......I realize that you might think what I'm doing is hindering him, but there's more to this situation than you understand. He then continued after clearing his throat, Tank is a....how do we say, 'unique', individual. He doesn't fully understand most normal social interaction, save for a few bits involving basic manners and etiquette. As such, he needs a firm hand to guide him. I am that hand, so I'm afraid for me to sit by idly is simply out of the question.

Lori could tell she'd hit something of a nerve and took out a water for herself, sitting across from the odd couple. She had to fight a smile as the theme song played in her head and she saw the two of them sitting there. Still, she managed to pull off a professional demeanor. I understand your concern, Mr. Smith. Really, I'm sure that you have the best of intentions. But you see, you cannot be with him when he's doing his job, telling him how to do every little thing. You can't speak for him or make the decisions he needs to make. In order for this to be a fair assessment of his abilities, I will need him to answer. I'm afraid if you don't let him, I can't hire him because then I really wouldn't know how he would react to his work environment. It was pure logic. Smith had a point--she was sure there were things about Tank that she didn't know that could be dangerous, but having him play the front man wasn't going to cut it here. Even if she bought into the fear aspect, she'd still be more on Tank's side anyway. He was belittling the man who was sitting right beside him, acting as though the calmest man in the room was the most dangerous. He looked down his nose at everyone, it seemed. And he was still wearing those damned sunglasses. Idiot. In any case, should the interview proceed and go well, Tank would be trained in by our head of security and management staff to handle any and all situations that would come up in our establishment. We like to be very thorough, and we're quite serious about taking care of our employees. Should he need anything at all while he is our employee, we will do our best to see to his needs. He is, after all, a special case. She smiled at Tank and then to Mr. Smith. Now, then, if there are no more objections, I would like to begin the interview.

Commander Smith was clearly not pleased upon hearing this woman's reply clearly she was one of those wild types who 'rebelled against authority' or some other young-minded nonsense like that. Why did everyone try to fight him? He was doing his best to stop these 'things' from utterly leveling the cities that Uncle Sam let them live in, but it seemed like he was in the minority here. Even if she did have a point about him not being able to direct his every move - something he was MORE than fine with since it meant he didn't have be anywhere near this freakshow - she didn't understand the kinds of danger she was going to have to put up with. Even so, Smith knew that arguing with someone like her on this matter was a pointless endeavor letting out a small but obviously agitated sigh, the man then added, Fine.... He then reached into his pocket and pulled out what looked like some kind of pager, except it just had a large red button in the center of its frame, and placed it on her desk. If anything happens...Just press that button Smith stated rather coldly, adding as a mental afterthought, And pray you know how to duck . He stood up from his chair and after straightening his coat added, You and I will have a one-on-one talk after this is over, ma'am. Turning on his heel, he stopped next to Tank and said quite clearly, Don't. Blow this. It was hard enough trying to get an interview for a job. And with that, Smith walked out and closed the door behind him to wait outside. Tank, meanwhile, was looking ever more dejected he hated making things difficult for people, even if it was obvious he wasn't at fault. He kept his hands clenched together, the tendons and muscles creaking noticeably from the force he was squeezing them with, and his head bowed. Miss.....I'm sorry that everything's so difficult I really appreciate you being able to see me today, though. I'll try my best not to make it harder on you the giant then spoke solemnly, not once lifting his head to make eye contact with his potential new employer.

She raised an eyebrow at the rather unprofessional tone the man was taking with her. She merely watched him leave, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with his remarks. Though it was clear Smith was a competent man, he was not compassionate, nor was he fully committed to the true spirit of his job. Perhaps she should have a word with the commander's direct supervisor. She was quite certain that a man like Smith wasn't in charge of the entire operation--that would be folly on the part of the military. Besides, Smith seemed to have a superiority complex that denoted a feeling of powerlessness on his own part. It was more likely that the man was simply a cog within a greater machine. When Tank spoke up for the first time, she was surprised to find that he was apologizing for making things difficult. She shook her head and watched him for a long moment. I suppose it wouldn't do much to point out that you're not the one who is making this process difficult. You've done everything that was asked of you up until this point. Personally, I see no reason for you to apologize, but I suppose we could chalk that one up to a difference in perspective and experience. Rather than ask him to look up, however, she moved next to him and put her hand on his. I'm sorry that things are so difficult for you. And I'll do my best not to make them harder. Now, if we're done apologizing to each other, I'd like to ask you a few questions about yourself and ask you what you might do in some hypothetical situations. Think you're up for it? She removed her hand and settled her clipboard into her lap a pen in one hand. She peered at him from her position, trying to look up at him from where she was sitting.

Tank tried not to be hard on himself he knew it wasn't his fault he was like this, but he still couldn't get over how much people had to tiptoe around him and go so out of their way to accommodate him. He'd even asked the medical team on the base if there was a way to take away his superhuman attributes the only response they could give was that they were working on it, but as of yet there was nothing. But that alone gave him hope that he could one day be normal, so he wouldn't have to worry about accidentally hurting someone or causing any more fuss. Even as Lori put her hand on his, Tank did not look up at her while he was ever so grateful that she would take the time to interview him for a civilian position, he still felt bad that she would have to deal with all the strings that came with having to employ him should he be accepted. All that aside, the human contact felt oddly...nice. It was an unfamiliar sensation, to have a normal person's hand touch his skin outside of a laboratory, medical office or a battlefield. When she asked if they could begin, Tank finally did sit up straight and after taking a deep breath, let her see the odd nature of his eyes. There was a rather large smile on his face, the prospect of actually being able to interact with normal people being a source of great joy for him. Yes, Miss Lori....I would very much like that was his reply as he awaited her to see what kind of questions he would be asked.

Lori grinned at him when he finally looked at her. She felt better seeing him smile. The kind expression suited him much better. She took a small moment to look into those strange eyes. Oddly, they didn't unsettle her in the slightest. The club manager found the golden orbs to be appealing--the cobalt rings adding a bit of interest. Well, fantastic. Let's get started then. Glancing down at her clipboard, she decided to start off with the simpler questions about himself and work back to the situational issues later. Well, first, why don't you tell me about yourself. Let's start off with your likes. Favorite hobbies, foods, anything you like you can tell me about. It was a good way to break the ice and get to know about her potential employee. Hopefully, she could put him at ease this way. It wasn't probably the best way to ask a question, but she much preferred being natural and at ease. The whole time, her hand hadn't moved.

When Tank heard Lori's first query, a noticeable frown came upon his lips and his eyes conveyed a fair degree of concern how was he supposed to answer that? Smith had told him that he couldn't reveal any details regarding the ATLAS Project only Commander Smith himself or his superiors were authorized to do that. He couldn't really do much outside of the base he did play basketball once and that was pretty fun. Except when he nearly crushed that one private by mistake, then it wasn't. It also didn't help that almost every time he tried to...oh, what did they call it...'dribble' the ball, he would pop it unless they used a really heavy-duty rubber one. He did enjoy exercise, though, especially strength training with the machines the base had, they could put on quite the load. Tank could say that he easily held the weight-lifting record, but the fact that he was designed to possess a hypertrophied muscular structure meant that none of it would count. Even still, he didn't lift for a record part of him still wanted to see what his body could do. His time overseas was fractured and incoherent, and he couldn't remember much of anything outside of being in the military camps. There was also the fact that he liked Lori she was being so kind to him despite him being an obvious freak. If he got accepted into this job, he would make sure to do everything she told him. So, he gathered up everything he wanted to say and began, I don't know if I can say a whole lot, but I do like basketball...what little of it I was able to play. I like weight-lifting and strength training in general.... he then paused for a moment before stating quite clearly and outright, I also like you.

Lori smiled as Tank answered her, smiling as she wrote down his replies. She looked up as he told her he liked her and put her hand on his shoulder. Thank you. I like you too, Tank. I think we'll get along well. She smiled at him and then looked back down at her questions, wondering what she should ask next. Well, tell me something. Can you recognize when someone is drugged? When someone is being violent or spoiling for trouble? The brunette looked up at the big man, figuring that his years in combat and just plain living would inform him. She wondered how he would answer her. Surely, he could tell her that. He seemed like a nice person--genuinely kind. Lori hoped that he would be qualified for the job--she really wanted to hire him. If for no other reason than to get him out from under his supervisor's thumb.

To see Lori smile, it was one of the most....Well, he didn't know the exact word for it, but it was one of the nicest things he'd seen in a while. She seemed so...charming somehow, like her smile could melt even the most frozen heart. However, her question was somewhat tricky the whole drugged bit he might need to work on, but someone turning violent he could spot in a heartbeat. Drugs were strictly forbidden in the base and he'd not run into a lot of them while deployed - at least not from what he remembered - so he wouldn't know EXACTLY how to recognize them. Still, he imagined that he would have to watch for anything out of the ordinary, but even that implied an understanding of what 'normal' was. He'd broken up plenty of scuffles in the base itself, though no one in their right mind would want to tangle with an ATLAS, even when the limiting drugs were in the bioengineered soldier's system. Still, he would answer honestly, Miss Lori...I'll say that I haven't had much exposure to society, so I don't know how these 'drugs' really affect people, only based on what I know from the base. But I can spot someone being violent really easy. He hoped that was an adequate response he really wanted this job, and Lori would be able to see that in his strange eyes as he gazed in wonder, thinking how she might respond to his answer.

Alright. Well, we can always train you to recognize when someone is under the influence of drugs. It's not usually difficult to tell--staggering, slurred speech, agitated motions or expressions, bad breath--things of that nature. But that's definitely something we can work on. You just need to watch those kind of people and make sure they don't get out of hand. You always want to try and prevent bad situations. She nodded and took down some notes about his training. You can just call me Lori, by the way. So, tell me... And she proceeded to ask him about what he would do in various scenarios where action would be required, being sure to take it slow and answer any of his questions, giving him feedback. By the end of the interview she was very impressed. If you were to work here would you like to live here as well. We do have living quarters here as well.

Tank was pleased that he would learn more about his job he couldn't help but wonder if Lori herself would train him or if someone else would do it. Not that it really mattered to him, as he would be happy just getting the experience. Alright....Lori he then replied, the hesitation in his voice very prevalent as he left out the prefix he was so accustomed to using. As she then asked him more questions relating to his experiences in the military and his background - the latter of which was fairly sparse given that much of his time was spent isolated in the base - he tried his best to answer them honestly, even saying when he didn't know something. However, by the time everything was said and done, she certainly seemed rather pleased with him....At least, from his point of view she did. Though perhaps his desire to work like other normal people was clouding his perception a little, but even still...He would take the smallest hint of being wanted as a compliment. But when she offered to let him live there, he was very taken aback he hadn't lived outside the base before. And he didn't know how Mister Smith would take to it the man was his handler after all. Mi...Lori, I appreciate the offer, but... he began hesitantly, rubbing the back of his head in slight nervousness before adding, I....I would like to try living off base, but I think that's something you and Mister Smith would have to talk about. His next statement was his attempt at avoiding offense, I...it's not like I don't like this place! I think it's one of the most impressive things I've seen! It's just....Well, taking me in like that might be...complicated.
