OPEN: Schnee Company Security Tryouts
WHO: Weiss, Mercury, Yang, Ren, 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: Sunday, 8am-10am
WHERE: Attleton's Battle Colosseum
WARNINGS: Violence. Character Death (Jean+Mercury thread).
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, they would see Weiss sitting in the first row. What most might consider a 'splash zone,' but she wanted to be able to see the matches. All of them. She was the one hiring, after all. And she needed to be able to time it and make sure that all of the testers followed the rules too. Two of them she knew would be fine, but one she had a significant lesser opinion of. At least it would all work out. So line up, applicants.
[ 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 (Yang, Mercury, or Ren) 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. Weiss will providerude honest opinions of the fight once it's over and also be playing the role of referee to make sure the timing and yields are upheld.
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. ]

[Spoilers: It works every single time.]
And that is where we come in. Our job, primarily, is to deal with those issues as they arise. There is one elected for each of the five cities.

[He glances aside, a show of nervousness.]
Unpleasant disruptions? Like what?
no subject
There are some less pleasant people around who seem to like making a show of themselves. Also, Everglade can get rather dangerous at night if you cannot handle yourself in battle.
[Admittedly, Midboss avoided Everglade for other reasons, but that was a different matter altogether.]

[He tilts his head a little.]
Is there something good there? Why would anyone go then?
no subject
Well...some people like the atmosphere, and to my knowledge it is fairly safe during the daytime. It is not somewhere I frequent much myself.
no subject
Daytime huh? I'll have to check it out. I could use some inspiration. I'd like to compose some new music.
no subject
It is certainly an interesting place, although I have always found Fayren more inspirational-- more fantastic, if you will.
no subject
They just uh, left on a mission and didn't come back. Except one.
[He doesn't look the least bit disturbed by the fact half of Organization XIII was eliminated in one shot.]
One of them left and the one that made it back from the first mission is looking for the guy that fled.
[He brightens a little at the idea of a more inspirational place.]
Sounds like somewhere I need to check out!
