Hey, guys.

[ The feed opens up to Iris standing behind a bar - namely, one stocked to the brim with soda and alcohol. She waves at the camera, glancing down at a pen and pad of paper near her. ]

Just a couple of quick housekeeping notes today. First, the Frisky Nickel in Heropa is looking for bartenders, waiters, arcade staff... you name it, we're willing to hear back from you. Since resumes and CVs aren't really applicable to us imPorts, just give me a shout, and I'll schedule an interview.

Ditto for the O'Malley Clinic in De Chima. If you're a medic, any kind of health-person, or you need volunteer hours for whatever student thing, hit me or Angela up and we'll make something work out.

[ she pauses, drawing in a breath as she glances at the pad, then back up at the camera again... ]

And um, for those that knew him, Barry Allen was ported out a couple weeks ago. Instead of mourning him - because he's gone home, to a place where he'll do real good - I'd like to propose a party of celebration at the Frisky Nickel sometime this month. Doesn't matter if you knew him or not; Barry would've liked to see you anyway. As for time, I'm thinking this upcoming Saturday? Around 7 or 8? If you can't be there, um... [ god, words are hard. ] No hard feelings. We all have a lot going on.

I think that's an inspired idea, Iris. Please count me in! I can help you decorate! [horror violin screech.]

[eloquentness]

Dec...orate... [ oh, right, people did that for celebrations and grand parties. ] Oh, of course!

Sure, we might as well go all-out.

[fauxmarth]

Wonderful! I'l have plenty of-- [wait.] O-oh. Um... Iris? How do you make these communications private?

[fridgeflower]

I've done a little bit of-- Uh. I don't know what to call it, really. Pheromonal Therapy? Extreme Aroma Therapy?

Basically, I alter moods. It's been good for, like, anxiety and insomnia cases, minor depression... Stuff like that.

If you think you'd have any use for that sort of thing, I'm always looking for good ways to apply my powers.

Honestly, I don't see why it wouldn't be helpful, especially if the patient knows about it in advance.

[ Iris beams, ] I'm not a medic, so I'll check in with Will and Angela, but they should be fine with it.

[fridgeflower]

Oh, yeah. There's definitely a caveat of 'they have to know what they're signing up for.' And it's not... Yeah. It's not for immediate care, so much as long-term or for minor, chronic stuff, but--

Well, you already said it. If a medic or doctor thinks it's worth something, the offer exists.

You okay?

[ He didn't know much about the people Iris was friends with, but he could understand how it felt to lose someone you were close to. ]

[Text | Private]

[eloquentness]

Not really. :(

[ there were plenty of people Iris would lie to, especially regarding Barry's disappearance. Adachi isn't one of them. ]

But I know he wouldn't want me moping around either.
So I'm getting all of our business stuff squared away.... It's been on hold too long as is.

[sleight_of_hand]

Fair enough; you've got a lot on your plate.
If you need my help, let me know. It's the least I can do.

You can thank the previous owner. :P He had a pretty unique sense of humor.

digging it

i think it'd be kind of funny if i was a bartender

maybe i'll give it a try?

[A bar? As someone that never gets out, the new perspective is interesting. He finds himself staring at the video for a long time, feeling an overwhelming sense of loneliness.]

Hello, Ms West. [He says weakly after a squinted gaze to her name at the top of her post. He uses broken English though he did very well in English class so aside from an accent, it's merely just technical sounding. Shuichi isn't used to the fact that his speech is auto translated here yet.]

I-

I need a different job. What are all of the positions you are hiring for?

audio;

[eloquentness]

Lots of them, honestly. [ she pauses, shuffling some papers. part of her desperately wants to ask if he'd be more comfortable conducting this in his native tongue, but she also knows there's a time and place to ask. this may not be quite it. ] For the barcade, I'm primarily looking for a manager. Someone to look over the place from day to day, make sure everything's where it's supposed to be, but I'd never say no to waiters or arcade attendants. Also line cooks, busboys, that type of thing? Since we do serve actual food here.

As for the clinic, mostly researchers and caregivers. Dieticians, social workers, therapists, nurses, bench scientists... [ she pauses, ] Point being, there's a lot of room. I'm sure I could shuffle you in somewhere.

[uzumaniac]

[He might, but then he wasn't against using English, it was nice to practice again, though the time spent not speaking it makes him respond a little slower than usual, getting reminded of words and what not as they go on.]

Hm.

[He seems sort of uneasy, or at least experienced ears my get that from his tone.]

I'm good with numbers and paperwork. When it comes to people, I am less-

It has been a while since I have been calm with people. [Slightly stilted, as if he's not quite sure how to word it.]

[aboveand]

Awww, and here I have mine on that expensive paper and everything. Don't tell me high school lied to me.

[Joking? Serious? Who can tell, really.]

video;

[eloquentness]

Sadly, that will neither be the first nor the last time high school left out some details.

[ Iris rolls along with it anyway, mostly because she can. ]

Fancy paper or not, I know you're capable of whatever I throw at you anyway.

[ghoulking]

I'm sorry, Iris.

Do you need anything?

[eloquentness]

Thanks for the condolences, Kaneki.

I wouldn't mind some company, if you're up for me hanging around your shop.
It's been way too long. (:

[A job? With a place that's still very much pro-imPort? Utena practically beams at the camera]

The Frisky Nickel? I've never been there, but hey, it can't be too different from my old job. Bussing tables is bussing table, right? Just, uh...

[Her smile turns sheepish, and she practically deflates]

My schedule's kind of all over the place. That won't be a problem, will it?

Video'

[eloquentness]

Nope, not that I can think of. [ beat ] I mean, depending on hours, it would affect pay, but the work has flexible hours to begin with.

You're welcome to come in anytime too, and see if the place feels like one you'd like to work for.

[khajidont]

Oh, Iris.

[ Another Justice League member down. Is there even going to be a League after this? But more importantly... ]

Are you okay? The whole stiff upper lip thing's all well and good, but... I know it's gotta hurt anyway.

[ When it's just the two of them, Iris can allow herself a moment to breathe - and frankly, allow herself to express how she's really feeling. ]

Not really, but I don't think I can stop running. [ metaphorically, tho she might start taking it literally. ] It's just - it's weird because he's home. Where he should be. And still it's really hard.

[ Like it's a selfish feeling, and she can't reconcile the selfishness with the grief. ]

[larped]

I'm definitely not a medic, but I've taken a few first aid classes. The Porter saddled me with healing powers and a lot of free time, and I'd be glad to volunteer both if you can find a use for them.

[eloquentness]

It sounds like you'll fit right in, at least. [ Iris beams, ] My friend was the same way, but she's gained a lot of experience since she started.

My name's Iris, by the way. [ beat ] Sorry about that. I really should've led with the introductions.
