Job Fair!

WHO: Anybody! Recruiters, set up a stall. Bums, get a job!
WHAT: Genessia is hosting a super fun job fair! Unsure what to do? Step up to the lucky lotto and get assigned a super fun lucky awesome job that the character MUST work for at least eight hours before returning to pick a new job from the lucky lotto. Or you could just pick a normal job that's being offered by normal people. That works too.
WHEN: December 8th - December 14th
WHERE: Genessia City - Encircling the Bay
NOTES: A thread will be posted for each day of the week, for those wanting to draw a random job. If you're up for wacky hijinks, tag the day you want your character to pick a surprise career and the mods will RP/assign a job. The character may choose to keep the job if they like it, or pick a new one the next day, but they're stuck doing that job for at least eight hours once the choice is made. HO HO HO!


As soon as the sun began to rise on the snow-dusted city, a quiet murmur in the streets steadily turned into a bustling commotion, with people carrying tables in pairs, filling balloons with helium and tying them to brightly painted signs, and catchy songs being played fighting for the attention of would-be job applicants. Cafes, the library, mall stores, the Genessia Tribune, property managers...everyone had something that needed to be done.

The most eye-catching display by far was the Lucky Lotto Career booth, with flashing lights, attractive "booth babes", and a large multi-colored wheel just waiting to be spun. On the wheel, numerous panels were pasted with a large glittery "?" on each one. Depending on where the wheel stopped, the panel would be peeled off to reveal one surprise job for anybody who needed a little inspiration for their aspiring careers. Why not step up and try your luck?

Application? Bah. Well I suppose it could be worth it. You got a pen?

[Bit by bit, the Ice King fills out the application presented to him, all while muttering to himself. He puts his name down as "Ice King" and his age down as "you don't ask a lady" and his weight down as "are you calling me fat." As far as his abilities go though, he goes into fair detail - he can freeze his enemies into a block of ice, or make ice weapons, or make snow, or... or... make more ice! It's kinda his THEME - not that Harry has any grasp on themes, evidently.]

There. [He slides the form over to Harry, then picks up his ice penguin.] Look at that, Gunter! Daddy's going to be a guardian! That'll impress all the princesses for sure. [A pause, and Ice King's brow furrows.] What, you don't think I could do it? How hard can it be? [Another pause, and Ice King pulls the sculpture close, pressing an ear in as if to listen to it.] Uh huh. Uh huh. Life threatening danger? No kidnapping princesses? Communion lunches?!

[His attention turns to Harry.] Whaddya mean I can't kidnap princesses? How am I supposed to get one to marry me?!

[Second thoughts intensify all while the Ice King is filling out his application. And then they only get worse when he hands the thing back and Harry takes a look over it. Especially the part under references, where he appears to have just drawn a bunch of squiggly lines.]

Well--

[And then he's talking to his ice sculpture. Unsure of what else to do Harry just blinks and watches.]

Uh.

[How is he supposed to know that?]

You could try opening with dinner and a movie?

Dinner and a movie? Pfff! [Ice King waves that idea off, while his 'pff' get spittle all over Harry's desk.] I'll be old and gray by then! I don't have that kinda time! Psh, what're you an amateur?

[He picks up his ice sculpture and tucks it under his arm.] Come on, Gunther, we have other things to go see.

[And with that he skulks off.]
no_love_potions: (WTF)

Hey!

[Harry just manages to snatch away his papers before they can get covered by crazy-old-man spit and scowls at the amount of it that hit his table. He grumbles after king-crazy before crumpling up the application and... damnit, he doesn't have a garbage can around here. It goes into his coat pocket.

Hell's bells. Maybe it was time for a lunch break.]
