Stefan pushes his glasses up, "Ugh paper duty... But I suppose I can help. I've been around the business awhile."

The phoenix coughs, "Uhm, is anyone here a florist?" He blushes a bit, "I kind of need help picking some bouquets for... someone."
Does your OC need a job? Good news, we're hiring!
In this game, the first person will post IC as a character who is looking to hire someone to do a job. Maybe they're looking for someone to help out at the business they own or work for, someone to join their band, a supervillain's sidekick, a maid or personal chef? Maybe they're just looking to hire someone to babysit, mow their lawn, do their taxes, or hide a body. You know, normal things. The sky's the limit; you can have your OC look to hire anyone for any reason whatsoever.
The next person will answer the interviewer IC, explaining why they're the OC for the job, and then describe the job they need someone to do. Sound simple enough?

I'll start with this guy. "I have a problem with a giant robot menacing the TV studio I work at, so I need to hire some... kind of security to deal with this guy. Tell me why you're the person for this job."
He places his hand on his chin in hesitence " I may be of some help" he finally spoke. "I- have an interest in gardening, its usually a personal thing but I think I may be able to have an acceptation." He pulls out a botany book, "you going by colour, shape, meaning?" he said, his tone lightening.
"I need some time away from my family and peers without them finding out." he shifted in place and glances at you sternly " Would you be able to get me out, even just an hour would be nice, take me to an interesting location, without anyone finding out of coarse." He paused then added "and no its not a date."
"If you can get here, then I can take you to the rainiest place in the multiverse... I think. Or we can go dimension-hopping. You just have to get to Somewhere first! And of course, my mansion has stuff to do if you want to play video games in a pocket dimension. It's honestly up to you. But I'm always here in Somewhere..."

"Can someone help me make some music? Like, the villain songs in Disney movies. I need something about how evil I am, but also seems honest enough, because I'm worried it'll seem too incorrect and inconsistent. I'll help with the lyrics! But they might not rhyme."
"I'm no professional, but everyone says I make the best cinnamon buns in Northern Europe! I've really wanted t' try baking desserts from other countries, too. If you fetch me the ingredients, I'll gladly whip somethin' up for you."
"Cherry, stop!" The Samoyed zoomed away from him at mach-speed for the fifth time today. Mica was not as good at running, and he collapsed into a tired heap after chasing the dog to no avail. "Is there someone who's good with animals here? This dog of mine never behaves... he's not loyal at all! Please, please teach me how to train him."
Do not - bzzrt - worry! I am amazing with animals! Well, horses and cows. Well, cows. Horses hate me. But you know what they -bzzrt- say! A cow is just a big dog. And if I'm good at wrangling cows, I must be great with dogs! Tell me, what's his favourite type of hay?

WANTED: MECHANIC
Must be good at: oiling joints, polishing old metal, fixing whatever has been making a rattling sound in my chest compartment
Must not be: allergic to cows (there are many cows here)
. .)... "Nu... I think my sister Zinaida would... be the perfect person for this. However, precisely... because she mainly works with androids she has too many pressing responsibilities for the military. If... if your inner components aren't... drastically different from those in everyday machines, I.. I guess I can help." (he can handle mechanical problems in vehicles and factory machines but working on robot is going to be something new :'D)
"Um... is there anybody who travels by plane often? I.. I need help with... err, in short I n..need suggestions of how.. how to deal with my aerophobia. It would be nice to know what to do... to make my mind focus on other things aside from the fact that I'm on a... plane."
“I tend to fly a lot for business trips, yes.”, Altair said, making a lazy motion towards the sky. “If you need assistance with your fears, perhaps I could schedule something outside of my meetings, if that is suitable for you.”
Altair quickly checks his watch, before gripping Valentin’s wrist and swiftly pulling them towards a nearby helipad, one already conveniently landed there. “In fact, I have time now! I have not piloted anything in a long, long time but I assure you I will be able to quell your fears in no time!”
The normally cold and uninterested man seems to be a lot more animated talking about planes and his interest in them, almost ecstatic looking.
—-
In the cold, above-cloud level conference room, Altair has shifted his gaze back to the majority of people, after a lengthy debate about the logistics of a freak accident. “Yes, now, I am searching for anyone who might know a... particularly dangerous coworker. There is a hero just down the street looking to cause trouble, so I could use another one of our kind to kindly show them how business goes here.”
His eyes eventually settle on you.
Percy slams his hands down on the table, startling the nearby people as a grin sets down on his face. "Ya need someone to track them down? I'm your man. Just describe 'em and I'm sure I'll find them in no time - 'n don't worry about a payment, consider it a trial run." Though it might've been just a little bit...too cocky and overambitious, there was nothing wrong with that, right? He was merely stating what he did best. ...Now hopefully he wasn't too overbearing - it'd be a good connection anyways, if their work arrangement seemed alright.

"So uh." Percy cleared his throat, averting his eyes as a faint flush rose to his cheeks. "I might've almost gotten caught snooping around another warehouse belonging to quite a vicious group. So I can't exactly go back over there and gather some more information." His eyes flicker up to the person. An awkward, crooked smile replaced the embarrassment he previously faced, hoping he'd be persuasive in any sort of way. "'N that's where you come in. Think ya can snoop around in a heavily guarded area for me without getting caught?"
"possibly?" Jake mumbles with a nervous grin on his face. "people don't notice me very often, but my appearance begs to differ." he scratched the back of his head. "I'm good at being quiet though, so it's worth a shot."

"since it's almost summer, more people have been coming in to my shop. you see here, we sell gardening tools, seeds, plants, and flowers! it's usually never busy in here but I've been a bit overwhelmed with so many customers! do you have experience with gardening? if not, can you at least handle the cash register?"
"Wellll I don't have much experience with gardening, but I've got plenty of experience with customer service. Something like 19 years." Wyatt flashed a winning smile, putting on the charm heavy as possible. Really, he figured he wouldn't be much help to the shop aside from working the register, but he needed any job he could get. Money was money. "I'm a quick learner, of course, so I'm sure I'll catch on fast. but if you need someone to work front of house, I can handle it for you."
//
"So," Wyatt sat at a table, application in front of him and a little notepad beside it. "we lost a number of employees these last few weeks and the bar has been running a little understaffed. I'm not the boss, per se, just a manager, but if you get hired you'll be seeing a lot of me, so be sure you're willing to undergo that torture." He grinned, then smoothed out the notepad and flicked the pen around between his fingers. "With all that in mind, tell me about you. What can you bring to the team?"
(thanks, I totally meant to specify it was a bar and forgot lol)
Adhari grinned. “That’s right up my alley! I’ve been drinking for donkey’s years. Gambling, not so much. But it must be quick to learn, or else you wouldn’t have so many morans giving it a lash, would you? And hell, it sounds like good craic.”

“Now that I’ve got this nixer in the bag, I’m in need of a lad to watch the farm. You’ve got to be able to deal with goats, draft horses, assorted parrots, ground hornbills, cows with mighty big horns, and that one addax. I don’t even know why the heck we have it, but if you somehow banjax it, multiple breeding programs are gonna eat the head off of you.”
"I don't have a head, for one, but I'll still help you. Animals aren't quite my style, but people do love a documentary now and then. Even then, three minute videos on YouTube and Instagram would rake in a lot of attention. Oh, but I'll be using some of this land for other sets in my projects. It's a fair trade, I'd say. You can be featured in it too, if you want? I'm sure I can find you a nice background role!"
"One of my workers called in sick at the worst possible time. I need someone that's good with makeup to help get my stars ready for a big, romantic scene. I want to think these actors are straight out of a fairy tale!"
"Perhaps I can be of use?" Lucien raises his hand politely. "I know I am a head butler but they do many different things. Makeup could be one of them - especially when I have to cover up whatever wrinkles I have on face... and make the other servants look more appropriate towards my master. I don't know what you mean by "fairy tale" but I promise you I can make them beautiful."

"How unfortunate. The chef has been absent for a week and there isn't enough cooks to be able to finish cooking tonight's dinner for my master. I'm worried that he will be hungry quite soon and I must have his meal ready! Is there anyone here in this house that's decent enough to use a pot?!"
