Action:

[blueberryprincess]

Who: Evie Grimhilde and Johnny Storm.
What: Evie's being proactive about finding a job.
Where: Fortuna Palace
When: 8/22 - late afternoon.

So, Evie'd weighed her options. She'd focused on what she liked, what she enjoyed, and what she really needed and right now? She really needed a job. After searching around town and even poking at a newspaper, she'd made her decision. She was going to head right into Fortuna Palace and speak directly to management. She could easily fill out an application and wait, but Evie wasn't good with waiting. Not when it was something she really wanted.

Asking for the manager, the seventeen year old girl with the vibrant blue hair and mildly punk princess attire seats herself at the hostess stand, legs crossed, waiting patiently for Johnny Storm as she tucks some of her blue hair behind her ear.

Johnny could apprciate any eagerness that a person might have as he's never been one to wait either. Life moved too slow not to be impulsive. At least when the time called for it. He's gotten into a lot of sticky situations by living his life that way. Johnny got a the notifcation over his radio that someone wanted to speak to him and he's never liked to keep people waiting unless he had no other option.

So it wasn't long before he walked into the area, the woman behind the stand motioning to the girl as the one that wanted to speak to him. Johnny's attire itself is pretty casual. Suit jacket, nice pants, plan button up shirt with a few buttons undone. He has no reason to really dress up, despite owning this place.

He strolls up to Evie. "Are you here to sell me hair dye? Because I still haven't received my order form the last lady." He said in an amused voice, obviously just trying to open with a little joke.

"I was going to tell you the last lady stole your money and spent it on bad make-up. Don't worry, karma got her. The bad product gave her the worst case of hives I've ever seen," Evie replies, smiling at Johnny as she stands and extends her hand in greeting.

"Evie Grimhilde. I was wondering if you were hiring?" Don't let her age fool you, Johnny. Evie knows her way around a kitchen.

"Oh, great. I'm so happy karma is looking out for the little guy like me." The smile that curls onto his lips is very real, happy to have the girl playing along with his silly joke. He takes her hand and gives it a nice firm shake.

"And what sort of job were you interested in here?"

[blueberryprincess]

"Chef." Evie Grimhilde is, to put it mildly, someone confident in their abilities. That much should be obvious to anyone with how she said that single word. She knows what she wants. She knows she can do this. And she's here to get what she wants. This job will go far to help her and Regina get the house they want, and it'll make use of skills taught to her by her birth mother.

"I've been cooking since I could hold a spoon. My birth mother insisted I learn."

[burnwithawesome]

"Chef, huh?" She does look young, but age doesn't mean anything when it comes to skills. He was a damn fine mechanic when he was young himself. He turned and started to walk away from her, expecting her to follow him.

"Do you have any special area of cooking that you excel in?" Not that that matters all that much. He figures any chef worth their salt could learn to make recipes outside of their area of expertise.

"I lean more towards high end, but my boyfriend discovered pizza and burgers, so I've learned how to make those really well." Her boyfriend is from the late 1800s, so she's had to introduce him to a lot. This involved a lot of trial and error and learning.

"Still trying to master Chicago style deep dish, but I think I'm almost there."

[burnwithawesome]

"If you're really trying to treat his mouth to something delicious, you need to learn to make New York style pizza. It's the best pizza you could ever have." Completely biased opinion as a New Yorkers, though. He comes up to a door and pushes it open to lead her inside. Where he's lead her to is the kitchen.

"Show me what you got." He says as he looks to her. "Use whatever you like."

[blueberryprincess]

"I've read a good New York Pizza crust takes a couple days to make, so maybe when I'm out of the Commonspace, I'll give it a shot. And obviously, you'll get some, too. So I know I did it right."

Evie steps into the kitchen and looks around for a moment, taking time to really examine the place and look at the ingredients she has on hand. Ideas are forming, plans are being made. She turns to look at Johnny, one eyebrow raised in curiosity.

"How much time do I have?"

[burnwithawesome]

"I'd love it if you did." If he could have a chef working for him that could make excellent New York Pizza? He'd probably request that from her at least once a week for his own personal lunch. He pulls a chair over to a spot and sits down as he thinks on that for a moment or two.

"I'll give you forty minutes, unless that is too short of a time for you."
