Jen's PL: 500 | Scottie's PL: 5,000 | Suppressed: 5 | Suppressed: 5 |
Deep in the heart of downtown East City, Jenny Tonica sat at a lone table outside of a rather fine restaurant. The clear blue sky above was dotted with the occasional white cloud, though it hadn't rained for quite some time. The end of the day crowds made their way up and down the streets, giving to those seated at the tables a fine chance to get in some people watching.
That was not why she was here, however. Dressed in full business attire -white, button-front shirt and black coat, matching skirt, stockings and heels- she crumbled the piece of paper before her and tossed it aside into a small waste bin. The bin was nearly full with such papers already, a fact which elicited an annoyed frown from the green-eyed woman.
"There aren't enough." She nearly growled the words to nobody in particular. For several hours now, she'd been interviewing potential employees for a business that she was trying to get off the ground. Unfortunately for her, most of the applicants hadn't been to her liking, and those that were had been in short supply. By her reckoning, she would have to scale down her plans to make this work with what she had.
"Let's see," Jen muttered to herself as she glanced at her watch. It was nearly half-past six, so the next applicant that she'd arranged to interview should be arriving soon. "What kind of name is Fizz? Oh well..." She shrugged, and took another sip from the iced tea that she'd been nursing for a the past half-hour.
Well, she thought to herself with another glance at her watch. She had five minutes until he was to arrive. Raising her hand to signal to the server, she requested a refill of her glass, and returned to the papers in front of her for a while longer.

The sound of rubber tearing across the concrete send shivers up and down Fizz's spine. His dad's loafers were definately old, but after a quick shine, they were good as new. Shiny and slick. Aside from his dad's loafers, the boy's attire was a bit strange compared to his usual outfit. He wore a sky blue colored button up with a red and white polka dot bow tie with suspenders to match. The suspenders kept his navy colored trousers which had a brown adorned belt wrapped around them. Although dapper looking as far as clothing goes, Fizz's didn't really try to do anhything with his hair other than wash it. There's really no use after all. He spied the interviewer. He couldn't tell her age, but her complexion said she was young. Her face was rather pretty, but her attire made her seem scrict. Fizz strode to the small table and sat down across from Jenny.
"Yo. I'm here to be interviewed for a job? My name is Fizz." Although not apparent, Fizz was a bit nervous. He needed a job, at least for a bit. Articho needed his money if Fizz wanted to be trained.

Jen's attention was pulled from the papers on the table by the sound of a chair being dragged across the floor. She glanced up slowly, and was taken aback by the presence of a youthful man sitting across from her. For just a moment, she considered signalling to her friend, Scottie, to make her way over, but the man stopped her with his introduction.
As her lips twisted into an amused smile, she straightened her paperwork and sat up to address the interviewee.
"Yes, have a seat." She replied with no small hint of sarcasm, as she looked the man up and down. He sure was dressed oddly, she mused, but if she was making her decisions based on how people dressed themselves alone, then she wouldn't have been in nearly the mess that she was. "You can call me Jen.
"So, Mr. Fizz," Now, that did feel weird to say, she thought as she pushed the fresh glass of tea aside to make sure that nothing was between them. "Tell me, why are you interested in working for me? Rather, why should I choose you over anyone else whom I've met with today?"

Fizz folded his leg over his other, pulling up his pant leg and revealing dotted socks that matched his bow tie almost perfectly. The saiyan scratched his chin as he searched for an answer.
"To be fair, I can't really answer that question. I don't know your other applicants so it's like I can say I'm better, haha." Fizz relaxed his arms after laughing. Laughing really got rid of a bit of the tension that Fizz felt boring into him.
"However, I do know that if you task me with a job, I'll do everything I can to finish it. No point in doing anything if you're not gonna give your all, huh? And as far as slacking off, it's doubtful I will." The boy's hair rustled when a small breeze blew by the two. He leaned back a bit in his chair but kept composure.
"If you need to see my physical strength, I can show you any way you'd like."

"Hm... She hummed to herself as the man spoke his piece. She couldn't say that he was veyr confident; in actuality, he was quite lacking, in that respect. If she didn't know any better, she'd have thought he was much younger than his appearance had led her to believe, and that would be a problem.
"Well, I like your spirit." Jen admitted aloud, as she, too, fidgeted in her seat to get more comfortable. To be honest, after a couple of hours, the hard, outdoors chairs the restaurant used had taken quite a toll on her backside. "That's a good thing, but I can't make money with spirit alone. Also, you don't seem to have any experience listed...
"That just leaves one thing." She got right to the point. After a day's worth of interviews, she wasn't in the mood to dance around the issue, or anything like that. No, she wanted to get this over with, and quickly. "You've applied to work as security for my business. You're aware how dangerous this could be?" As she questioned the man, her dark brow rose over one eye to accentuate the inquiry.
"You'll be dealing with drunks, most likely. There may even be weapons involved, at the worst of times: knives and the like. You look like you could handle yourself, but if I were to guess, I'd say you're not how old your application says you are." She stopped for a moment to clear her throat, but her green eyes never left the man.

"Look Miss, I understand your concern for me, but I guarantee I'll be quite alright. You're right. I'm not as old as listed on my application, but it can't be helped." Fizz's eyes widened as he explained himself. This woman was right to underestimate Fizz. He looked like a normal Earthling boy, with nothing special about him. And if he was that, he would definitely be eaten alive by the crooks that would plague this soon to be night club.
"I'm not your average Joe, you know." The saiyan said, then picked up a piece of silverware from the table and bent it with ease between his two fingers.

Jen frowned a little as the man -no, as the boy picked up a spoon and destroyed the restaurant's property. She was beginning to piece together his personality more with every word, and she wasn't liking what she was seeing. Without any experience or references, she couldn't be sure of anything except what she saw for herself, and what she was seeing was a very strong kid with no sense of personal space.
This could go poorly, if she wasn't careful.
"That's... nice, kid." She tried to cover up the nervousness in her voice as best she could. For a moment, she fell silent, feigning like she'd just seen a friend walking past and waving across the street. The shorter woman who had been pretending to window shop at another store nodded subtly, and she returned her attention to the boy.
"It's not just that, you see." She returned to her poise and professional demeanor without any semblance of trouble from then on. "There are laws about this sort of thing, Mr. Fizz. If I put you in danger knowing what you've just told me, it could get me into a lot of trouble. At the very least..." For a few seconds, she looked down at the paper with his name and information on it. Sadly, there was nothing more there to use to her advantage.
""At the very least," She looked the kid in the eyes, her green lenses staring into his dark orbs. "I'd need to speak to your parents first. I can't do any better than that, I'm afraid."

"Uh, yeah, about that." Fizz twiddled his thumbs as he leaned forward in his chair.
"I would definately let you talk to my parents if you could. They're both dead. My mom was killed during the SSE attack to years ago." Fizz's positivity faded away from his eyes. His eyebrows bent inward and he stared down at his now folded hands on the table.
"And my father died a few years ago from heart disease. I really middle the-" The saiyan caught himself, and the gloom that hung over him suddenly faded.
"Sorry about that, I get carried away someimes.."

Her heart visibly sank as the boy mentioned his parents' deaths. To make the matter so much worse, his mother had been killed in the Saiyan attack on the planet. Well, she could... No! No, she had to be professional. She couldn't let herself be swayed. She had to-
Without realizing that she'd done it, Jen had reached across the table and laid her hand on the boy's own. A bit of moisture clouded her eye, as she spoke,
"It's... fine, kid. We'll just forget that, then." As she cleared her throat, her hand pulled back, and she shuffled the papers around again to buy her a moment or two of peace. Damn it all! Scotty was never going to let her live this down, she thought with her mind made up.
"I think we're done here." She uttered through a near croak. For all of her posturing, the kid's story had brought back her own memories of the attack. She just wanted out of here, and fast. "I, um... I'll give you a call. I still have a few more interviews to go through."
