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?
Rules:
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."
"With any luck I can probably summon them accidentally. I'll send your buddies over to you asap. I really don't have much to do as is."
"I need some help collecting some things. They're called orbs and they power my summoning gun to summon heroes of great power, but sometimes it summons farmers with pots on their heads. Not the point. These orbs are collected by facing extremely hard enemies over long trials. I should be able to send a good hero of mine Reinhardt along with you."
"I can help with that. I have all kinds of spells stealth spells, memory loss spells, perception blocking spells and sleeping spells. Oh, my friend's appearance and my own? worry not I have transforming spells. let me just tell him about the situation."
"Now, I have a bit of a difficult task that requires one or more groomers, probably the latter. as you can see I need no help in that department. These groomers need to be able to handle multiple rowdy, angry and filthy fluffy wyverns. size ranges from 4-8ft. Can someone handle that or do I need to tell the others it's a lost cause? they smell really bad."
the cat stared at the child. he was not going to let a small innocent child get anywhere near the main hive. might as well chuck a baby into a lion's den.
"look, I appreciate your offer and you may love them but, they will love you two in a different way. i assume you haven't the slightest idea of what a predator is."
"I can do it ! I'll make Maymay help. You can come too - we can all do it together! I love smelly wyburns ^u^ !!" (Enthusiasm >>> Capability)
"I need help to find my dad. Uh I don't know what he looks like... mum said he's a traveller. Can you help me find him? Um you can have my icecream!"
"Now, I have access to many books on scrying and if need be I do know a necromantic wizard. (She gives me what many people call the 'heebie jeebies', so pray it does not come to that.) My fee doesn't come cheap, but if you have any rare books I can give you a discount when you commission my services."
"Speaking of rare books... I need someone who is willing to raid a beholder lair to find a collection of journals owned by 'The Raiding Camels', an adventuring party who is thought to have perished at that very lair. I will compensate you greatly if you manage to comeplete this task, and I will be providing life insurance should the worst happen."
"Sounds important, I'd be willing to discuss the costs and what would be involved. Just be aware that I'm a courier, not a warrior. If it's too dangerous, find someone to help or hire them instead"
"So, one of my fellow couriers has gotten themselves into some shit and now we have to bust them and their package out of a police station and get them back on track. I can't pay you, but I'm sure the little idiot will send you their money."
"oh, easy. give me like a day and a new lighter and your friend is out, no problem. the cops can fuck off."
"usually i'd ask my friend for help, but he's a bit odd and would probably cause more trouble than he needs to. there's been a lot of restlessness in my team's HQ , and someone nearly drowned the other day, which is i guess what happens when youre on a boat. look, i just need someone who's familiar with boating to work full-time, you'll get a room and everything - just teach these idiots how to NOT get seasick, or whatever."
"Hello there! I can help you, I can make medicine for seasickness!
And if you let me experiment with them, I can even make them able to breathe uderwater, just like mermaids!
Not sure if I is what you are looking for, but hey, better than nothing, right?"
"Hmm... I have this little problem... I need a certain ingredient for this thing I'm making, but I'm kind of busy!
Okay, what I need... Is a blue jewel from a dragon! His home is at north... Oh! Don't worry,you don't have to fight him or something like that, he is my friend! Just hand over this note!
Also, don't try to run away with that jewel. I'll find and kill you if you try.
But why wooould yoou~? I'll pay for you service of course~!
"Jewel, huh? From a dragon too? Those would run for a lot of money," Jet mumbles to himself while staring at the note he had to give the dragon. He looked at it, then at Aldric, then back to the note. A wicked grin spread across his lips.
"Look here, my secretary is out sick - whatever that means - so you'll be responsible for whatever happens. What's that? Qualifications? Don't be silly, you don't need qualifications to run a schedule. Look, all you need to do is make sure all my appointments are still good to go - except that one, you'll need to call and reschedule; get everything on this shopping list before noon and DON'T buy the top brands; make sure the meeting room is cleaned and has appropriate snacks unlike last time where that one guy was apparently allergic to pineapples; and pick up my suit. All of this innn-" He looked at his watch. "-three hours! You can do it. Probably. If you don't I'll make sure you never work anywhere again. But no pressure!"
She quietly jots down his instructions, succinct yet in a curly sort of cursive. Cheerless, her eyes did not flicker his way once.
- Confirm appointments
- Reschedule Mr. Z
- Noname only
- Prep meeting room
- No pineapples
- Suit pickup
< 3hrs
Once he finishes speaking, she wears a syrupy smile and tilts into a curtsy, "Certainly sir~ consider it done. Please call if there's anything else you need." And with that, takes her leave.
Once she is by the desk, she makes a call to her sister. Like switching channels, she tenders the plight in a trembling voice - to come help run errands together - while echoing her boss' threat with the most pitiful bearing.

A stranger meets with you under a guise.
"I'm looking for a skilled assassin." It slides an envelope containing a photo of a certain pink-haired female. "This is the target. You will stage attacks and attempted murders on this target. You are not to kill the target ..though you may harm her. And you are only to do so in view of this accessory." It slides over another envelope with a second photo of another, and narrows its crimson eyes, "But you are not harm this one under any circumstance."
Finally, it slips an unsealed envelope bearing a lump sum, "You shall receive more after the first encounter, should you prove successful."
"I'm not one to do illegal things, but if that dog's in a bad spot with their current owner, then I'd be happy enough to try and help liberate them to a better cause."
"I've had a vision for my next concert, one that has been... Worrying, to me. I saw that someone was going to attack the event and leave many injured. Normally, when I see this, it's a small likelihood of happening, but when I saw it, it was considerably larger then usual. As much as I'd want to stop the concert, it's far too late to do so for us without consequences. If anyone is out there, I'm looking for someone who can seriously improve the security measures for the show; Organise the security correctly, provide weapons and/or armour, make sure everything is safe for the show to keep going."
"Well, weapons no, but armor yes! I also made some charms a while back to protect against disasters, we can hang those above the doors, and I can put some barrier runes down at the parimeter, and you and your crew can also borrow a few wards I made for yourselves. You don't have to pay me if I succeed, but if you insist, I will accept an album as payment!"
"So um... I may have pissed off a fae a while ago... I deserve it, I provoked him, so if anyone can maybe... return this rune I bought from him that might be a good start. He's still somewhere in the city, that I know, He's an imp, got six arms, six hands, one giant eye and yellow leathery skin, he's not hard to miss. If you can take this to him, or let me know where to find him, it would be so helpful!"
"Ah...I suppose that returning it would not be of much trouble, considering that I am in need of supplies from the city anyway. You said that this fae was there already, correct? I can return the rune for you then. However, if it is not rude of me to say so, I still believe that it would be wise for you to reconcile whatever you did to initiate this conflict sometime after I do; no good can come from remaining at odds with someone like that, yes?"
"I am in need of someone to watch over these three for me." The doll glances down at Ojo, Bouche, and Pipi, all three spirits crowded together on her shoulders as they were dozing. "It would only be for a small while, as I go to search for employment. They are usually well behaved, but bringing them to possible interviews would be unprofessional at best, somewhat...disastrous at worst, and I do not feel comfortable leaving them without any supervision. I can pay you for your time, and it is a fairly easy job; the most difficult thing would be to keep Bouche from eating things that he is not supposed to."
