[OPEN] Death City Job Fair

[soul_mods]

Characters: OPEN
Location: Shibusen City Park
Rating: G
Time: March 10, All Day
Description: Come find a job to support yourself while you're staying in Death City, or do your boss a favor and tell prospective employees what you get paid to do!

The park setup had the air of a festival on the morning of the job fair. Businesses had turned out with folding tables and tents to keep the sun off of their helpful employees and the job-seekers, setting out signs with the name of their establishment and a small stack of applications for anyone interested in working for them. Various businesses had asked their employees to take turns manning the booths for the day, hopefully being helpful and explaining what working each job entails.

Unfortunately, everyone's going to get a little damp with the midday rainstorm, but perhaps those kind employees will let you stand under a tent with them until it it passes!


{{ ooc; Please feel free to set up a thread for your character's business or place of employment, and have some employee/jobseeker mingling!

Every establishment in town has positions available, and you can find a list of what jobs you can find by looking at the employment spreadsheet. Job descriptions can be found over at the employment page. }}

Metokkori R and Related Stores [OPEN] [Action/Log]

[starfruitfrog]

It wouldn't be correct to call this a booth, not with the giant of a tent that Keroro rented to advertise. No expenses spared for his precious baby store.

There are individual booths on three sides of the tent, leaving one side free for anyone to wander in.

On the left, you have Metokkori R, your friendly neighbourhood Japanese goods store specializing in hobby goods, handmade Cthulhus and imported food. Feel free to drop by the booth and pick up some pamphlets on cosplay, GunReaper models as well as complementary star-shaped microfiber cleaning cloths and fun star-shaped shutter shades.

On the right is the Hikan Cafe, formerly known as the Hikan Tea Shop. Its main selling point is its cheerful, family-friendly atmosphere, as well as a dazzling array of teas and drinks. The menu is also prominently featured at the table, because the dishes available change according to the season. Would you care for a free sample of their signature Keroro tea blend?

In the center, on a small round pub table is a single glass-fronted cube full of stuffed Cthulhus. This is the informational booth for the newest addition to the Metokkori R family, The Kero Cube: a store that rents out tiny spaces to Death City's artisans as little shops for their handmade goods. Pamphlets are neatly lined up on the table for those interested in renting and getting their hard work out to the public. Around the Kero Cube table are other small round pub tables, without anything on them as a place for people to hang around with their food samples.

In the back is a table manned alternately by the two co-owners of Hikan Cafe, with papers, pens, and folders. If you want a job, or maybe just an interview and to drop off your resume, this is where you should go. There are mannequins dressed in the shop uniforms of a white button-down shirt and black pants or skirt and the employee's choice of a full or half apron beside this booth. For those who are merely curious and wouldn't mind giving Eve and Keroro more money, there is a lone gacha machine by the front that will accept coins. If you missed the Metokkori R x Chara Misfortune keychains the first time around, now is your last chance!

(OOC: Metokkori R and all related stores are located on the third floor of Building C.

Metokkori R is hiring 1 shelving clerk (morning shift) and 1 manager (full-day if possible).
Hikan Cafe is hiring 2 waiters (morning/lunch shift) and 2 baristas (morning and afternoon shifts).
The Kero Cube is not currently hiring or renting. The table is simply there to let you know that it is coming, prepare your wallets.

The keychain gacha only contains the old Zone leaders and second-in-commands (Riza+Flynn). No Roy is available. Lots of Nejis though.

More information on all of these stores can be found here.)

[ Yoichi has spent a few minutes trying to figure out the gacha machine, with limited success. Technology is so weird, guys. So weird.

He does recognize some of the motifs from his interaction with Keroro, so now he's standing near the Hikan Cafe table, looking curiously at the uniforms before turning towards the table. ]

[starfruitfrog]

[Did you forget to put in money, Yoichi...?

Well, no matter. Keroro gives you a wave anyway.]

Welcome, is there anything I can help you with, de arimasu?

sorry about the wait, i just got back from hiatus!

[yoichi]

[ Maybe... ]

Hello, Keroro-san.

I was looking into your business ventures, and employment opportunities.

Don't worry, it's perfectly okay! :3

[starfruitfrog]

[Can't do anything about that, unfortunately. Money is not provided...]

Oh, you're interested in joining us, de arimasu?

[yoichi]

I suppose I may pursue other occupations. It was rare for me to have opportunities outside of combat, where I come from.

What can you tell me about your cafe?

[starfruitfrog]

[This was the chance Keroro was waiting for, because out comes a poster board with menu and pictures and diagrams. Are you prepared for this, Yoichi?]

Our cafe's focus is family-friendliness! That's why the menu as well as the decor are all focused on fun!

[pokes the menu on the poster board]

Cheerfulness!

[Yes, that is a group picture of the Hikan Cafe employees he's poking next.]

And most importantly, warmth, de arimasu! Our menu changes according to the season, with fresh items for summer and spring and heavier items for the colder months, de arimasu. The drinks are available year-round.

The decor uses wood and light colors, with open seating in the front. At the back we have more intimate seating suited for people who want more privacy, de arimasu.

[He's can keep talking if no one tells him to stop. This is his cafe after all.]

[yoichi]

[ whoa there. Yoichi is a little taken aback by Keroro's enthusiasm, but he seems to accept it wholeheartedly. ]

I understand!

So, this cafe. It sounds charming...

[ though he hasn't seen it before. ]

Are you looking for more employees?

[starfruitfrog]

[He's always enthusiastic when it comes to his shops. They're his, after all.]

We're always looking for more employees, de arimasu. Do you have any experience as a waiter or making tea and coffee, de arimasu?

[socialbutterfly]

... Are you moving your store here permanently?

[starfruitfrog]

[It's called advertising, Minato.]

Why would you think that, de arimasu?

[socialbutterfly]

[It's called overkill, Keroro.]

There's a lot here... [de arimasu.]

[starfruitfrog]

[There is no such thing.]

That's to give people a better idea of what our stores have to offer, de arimasu.

[socialbutterfly]

You have more than one now..?

[starfruitfrog]

I have two and another one on the way, de arimasu.

[socialbutterfly]

You sound like you're pregnant, Keroro-san...

[starfruitfrog]

Haha...what are you saying, de arimasu? That doesn't even make sense, de arimasu.

[vintage_magic]

[A witch in a gardening apron stopped to stare at this giant tent. The park's management had told her to expect an event today but...]

What is all of this? [Not that she had ever been to a job fair before—running Aunt Cora’s Closet was her first attempt at making a legitimate living—but she would have expected fewer stuffed toys and more paperwork.]

[starfruitfrog]

[Oh, it's that suspicious person who wasn't good at lying from the Network!]

Advertising, of course!

[vintage_magic]

Advertising? But I thought this was for folks looking for work... [She looks down at the source of the voice.]

[Ah! It's that suspicious green alien that looks like a frog!]

[starfruitfrog]

Advertising our stores as good places to find work, de arimasu.

[Well, he's looking right back at you.]

The injuries you had before seem to have healed pretty well, de arimasu.

[vintage_magic]

You have a store? I thought you said you were an actor. [Not to mention claims of trying to invade Earth...]

[And Lily is going to stare back. He's still going to bring that up now?]

[a nod] Yes, they were just scratches. And it's been a month.

[starfruitfrog]

I can be an actor and a store-owner, de arimasu. I'm a man of many faces, after all. [You forgot cross-dressing, cosplay, politician, tv star, knight and ramen stand owner.

Besides, this is as good a time as any to bring it up. He has a good memory for this kind of thing.]]

So it has, de arimasu. I'm guessing no mirrors blew up on you lately, de arimasu?

[In fact, he's most likely never letting you forget that incident.]

[vintage_magic]

[You're a frog... Lily opens her mouth but then closes it again. It's so ridiculous, it doesn't seem worth it to argue that point.]

No, of course not. [Which was completely true. She hadn't had any unfortunate encounters with mirrors since returning to Death City. Unfortunate encounters with pools though were another matter. And she's going to try to change the subject now...]

What kind of store is it, anyway? A toy shop? [She leans over to look more closely at the glass cube.] What in tarnation are those? Alien squids?

[starfruitfrog]

[Again: not a frog.]

Good to hear, de arimasu. You can never be too careful around mirrors after all, de arimasu. The first one is a Japanese goods store and the second is a cafe. Oh, and those are Cthulhu. That's what Rose-dono calls them.
