[The video feed turns on to show an extreme blurry closeup of some lovely flower-covered cupcakes. Someone has been busy all morning making those flowers~! The image eventually comes into focus as Labrador adjusts the camera properly and you'll soon see a whole kitchen counter covered with cupcakes.]

Would anyone like some cupcakes? I was going to share them with the people at work but I'm afraid I was a little carried away while making them and made way too many!

Ah, I've also added a little something in the flowers that's really good for your skin~!

[Because that's just what he does, make delicious desserts that are also secretly beauty treatments. That's how he stays so pretty and youthful! He's also just in an extremely good mood since his beloved is here as well now~ ♥]

WHO: Mikasa and Jean
WHAT: Comforting eachother after some difficult weeks.
WHEN: March 13th
WHERE: The SNK apartment
WARNINGS: Cute, probably references to death, and as always, language.

He wasn't sure how long he had been standing at the window and staring at the same fucking leaf on the ground, but probably longer than healthy, considering how the shadows were now at a significantly different angle from when he started. Jean's head was a strange blank mess of fragmented thoughts and emotions he didn't even want to start making sense of. He probably should have felt better, or even worse than he ever had, but instead he just felt numb.

Normally, he would have made some kind of insulting remark to someone by now, but he was just fine with this. Maybe he should have found some way to occupy himself, by training, doing something productive, but he didn't even want to think about protecting the others, because he knew no matter how stronger he became, he wouldn't always be able to.

Armin had been right, and it hadn't been Jean who paid for it. He wasn't angry over the fact. Not anymore. He was becoming increasingly familiar with the emptiness that lingered in his head, and he just wanted to be as alone as possible in their apartment, which wasn't very lonely, but he could try.

WHO: Security testers (will be asked oocly), Security job applicants (open), anyone who wants to watch (open)
WHAT: Given the inability to check credentials in Genessia, Weiss's interviews are a little different than normal. This one? It involves staying alive for 10 minutes with someone she knows can fight.
WHEN: (Backdated for IC reasons) Friday 3/20, 8am-10am
WHERE: Attleton's Battle Colosseum
WARNINGS: Violence!

The Colosseum seemed incredibly public a place to do interviews, but the reality was that there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be stressful situations for fighters. If they had public or performance anxiety, it would be just as bad as someone who couldn't handle the sight of blood or someone who couldn't fight. The crowd was a benefit to add pressure. Plus, the Colosseum had the added benefit of a consequence-free death. They would just wake up in the hospital. Even if she didn't particularly want to see anyone die, it was one way to make sure that anyone hired could handle whatever came at them.

As applicants entered the stadium. While Weiss had sat out during the last round of applications, she wasn't in the stands this time. She was down on the ground. She wanted to fight, to test at least some of these people herself. The other matches she would observe carefully, but she hadn't gotten a good fight in in a while. She'd been given the all-clear to use her hand again, and she was going to. She couldn't find Armin, which was a problem, and she would definitely be talking to him about it later (once she.. figured out what happened to him).

[ OOC: So here's how this is going to work. If your character would like to apply for a security job at Schnee Company, they need to reply to this post with the subject line "Applicant." After that, one of the testers will reply to it and the characters will fight. The character must survive the fight for 10 minutes, and may be ranked hire as an applicant if they actually win their fight. If they die or are knocked unconscious during the fight, they will automatically wake up in the infirmary, but be disqualified from getting the job. They can disqualify themselves by stating that they yield during the thread.

If you want to be an audience member, you can make your own thread, handwave and mention in later threads, or yell things in the middle of fights to distract applicants. If an audience member goes onto the field during someone else's fight, they will be considered a bystander and the applicant must protect them as well as themselves. If the audience member wins the fight for the applicant, the applicant is disqualified.

AS THIS IS THE SECOND TRY-OUTS, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOUR CHARACTER APPLY FOR THE JOB, YOU MUST REPLY TO THIS LOG! Security positions will be closed after this until there are further openings. Please only reply to this post if your character would actually want the job. ]
