[phone] Help wanted...

[pinkscarflady]

[Mom Lalonde sounds almost distracted today, or perhaps just bored.]

I have a proposition for any interested young people who may wish to take on a job after school. I wish to hire a personal assistant to aid me in several small projects I plan to undertake in the near future.

[She pauses, for a sip of her drink.]

Nothing of particular importance, just something to occupy my time. The job will entail taking dictation, some light filing, and running simple errands. Compensation is negotiable, but intended to be more than adequate.

Interested applicants may apply at 311 Miller Street.

[This interested applicant certainly sounds monotone...]

At what time would it be acceptable to apply? [It would be terrible to come to this location only to find no one there after all!]

Re: [Phone]

[pinkscarflady]

Anytime you like. The town has been gracious enough to categorize me as a 'housewife,' so I have nothing if not free time.

[Phone -> 311 Miller]

[windows_hyliaedition]

Very well.

I will leave at this moment then. [...Uhhhhh...

[Well, unorthodox as that particular 'call end' was, she does indeed head straight there... Blank stare and all. You should hear a knock on the door soon enough, Lalonde!]

Re: [Phone -> 311 Miller]

[pinkscarflady]

[Her knock will be answered by a voice from inside the house.]

The door is open, come in.

[Inside, Mom is mixing drinks on the kitchen counter.]

Are you here about the job? Care for a cocktail before we start?

[311 Miller]

[windows_hyliaedition]

She walks in, closing the door quietly and coming toward the kitchen after a moment.

"Correct. I have come with the intent of applying for a possible job," she answers with her usual monotonous tone.

Briefly, she looks to the drinks being mixed. "...What is a 'Cocktail'?" Uh. Might not be the best start to a possible job interview Fi.

At home

[busy_fists]

Finally putting that telescope to good use?

Re: At home

[pinkscarflady]

Among other things. Mostly I'm just seeking a way to relieve boredom.

[And to distract herself from Rose being gone.]

Re: [311 Miller]

[pinkscarflady]

[Ah, Mom can tell that this one is going to be fun.]

In that case, you just have a seat at the table and I'll mix you something light.

[Don't worry, Mom'll start her off with something pretty girly. And then she'll make a martini for herself and join her guest at the table.]

Alright, first things first. Your name?

[311 Miller]

[windows_hyliaedition]

Oh yes.

Very fun.

She nods, taking a seat and speaking. "I am called 'Fi'; the last name I have been given while here however, is 'Harmonia'." ...That is strangely fitting, given that 'Fi' is an 'F-Sharp'...

Re: [311 Miller]

[pinkscarflady]

[Have a small smirk.]

Oh, and would you describe yourself as a 'sharp F?'

[/Not a serious question.]

[311 Miller]

[windows_hyliaedition]

Mildly surprised blink, despite herself.

"I have discovered that 'Fi' is the term for an 'F-Sharp', if that is what you are indicating. I have found it somewhat interesting given my former duties in my world." Translating Ancient Text in the form of dance and music is now apparently a duty for a sword.

Re: [311 Miller]

[pinkscarflady]

[She takes a thoughtful sip of her drink.]

And what did you do back in your world?

[311 Miller] Watch me fail spectacularly at explaining this uh-

[windows_hyliaedition]

"I was a guide." Eh? "I was a construct created and tied to a blade known as the Goddess' sword, now 'Master Sword'. It was my duty to guide the wielder through the journey as predicted, be it through the dowsing of various objects or the translation of the ancient language. In musical terms however, its relevance lies in the translation of specific pieces of song created to aid in this effort. Unfortunately, as I am not in my former body, I am unable to do most of these things- however, I still vow to be of service in any way possible. I have not lost my ability to observe- nor have I lost my ability to record, or think."

Re: [311 Miller]

[pinkscarflady]

[She's intrigued. It sounds vaguely like the role of a sprite in Sburb.]

And precisely who was it that gave you that assignment?

[311 Miller]

[windows_hyliaedition]

Indeed it does, doesn't it- and it's quite similar too. "She who created me- the Goddess Hylia of Hyrule. Upon completing my duties I was to sleep within the blade itself- it was from that sleep that I was taken here."

Re: [311 Miller]

[pinkscarflady]

Sounds awfully dull. She could have at least given you a standard two week vacation.

Well, I suppose now is as a good a time as any to discuss the practical side of things. What about your availability? Do you have an official 'job' as far as the town is concerned?

[311 Miller]

[windows_hyliaedition]

There's no reaction to the week vacation note- well... A small sliver of confusion might be made out, but otherwise no reaction.

"I have no current duties outside regular attendance to the 'Highschool'," she answers clearly.

[ phone ]

[renewals]

Would you need a system for this?

[busy_fists]

Let me know if I can help.

Re: [311 Miller]

[pinkscarflady]

And may I ask what precisely it was that interested you about this position?

[Mom is curious, because this girl seems almost emotionless.]

Re: [ phone ]

[pinkscarflady]

Not necessarily. Why?

[pinkscarflady]

Of course. If I come up with any projects that are particularly more elaborate or larger in scope, you'll be the first person I pester for extra manpower.

[311 Miller] I wonder what Fi would do after drinking a cocktail.. :|a

[windows_hyliaedition]

[[Side note, she is CAPABLE of emotion, just... Clueless as to how that works. So she's more reactionary at the moment. xD]]

Well, she certainly used to be...

"Dication and filing seem to be things that I am able to manage well," she response.

And then, after a brief pause. "...Additionally, since coming here, I have been unable to cease thinking of the fact that my duties in my realm were completed... I was in the midst of an eternal sleep at the time." ...In all honesty Fi, you actually do sort of sound upset there.

You also sound like a bit of a work-a-holic. Or something.

Re: [311 Miller] Well, this would be the place to find out.

[pinkscarflady]

Hmmm, well you do sound like a very responsible young lady.

[And potentially fun to troll. That's always important.]

And I can certainly offer training in any areas you might be unfamiliar with.

What would you consider to be adequate compensation for your time?

[311 Miller] It certainly would be. xD!!

[windows_hyliaedition]

Very fun to troll. Very EASY to troll as well.

She bows her head somewhat, nodding. "The experience alone is more than adequate- Truthfully, I feel that as much aid as I give will aid myself as well."

...Given who Fi is, this is not coming to be a surprising fact...
