🧙 WHO: Anyone and everyone
⚔️️ WHAT: Job Fair, where business owners can try and recruit new people and new people can find jobs for themselves
🕒 WHEN: After the May Event/End of May
🗺️ WHERE: Camelot; An empty building next to Golden Silence
⚠️ WARNINGS: none I can think of

The building is a regular, empty building next to Azul's Golden Silence restaurant. It has been decorated stylishly and business owners have been adviced to set their own booths to promote their businesses. There are both otherworlders and natives around. How they have set up their booth has been completely up to themselves.

If people require a private place to discuss business/do interviews, Azul has kindly provided his restaurant's VIP rooms for such situations.

Azul has also provided the event with some refreshments. Ren has mostly been in charge of the advertisement and getting people to the venue (both business owners and potential new employees).

OOC: There are plenty of native employers here as well, offering jobs. Grocery stores, blacksmiths, restaurants, cafes... anything, really. All the business owners of otherworlders are encouraged to make their own Top Levels to scout some new employees!

Of course, general mingling in between employer/employee finding is encourages as well.

Ohh, so it's a restaurant, huh? ["Golden Silence" sounds kind of shady, and it looks kind of shady, too, but who he is to judge, really?] Well, whatever you need help with, sign me up. ♪ Though I would prefer to cook, if I can!

[Usually, people looking for jobs ask more questions, but Niki is a simple guy. As long as there's food, he can look past... well, just about anything and everything else.]

[Look. Azul is kind of shady, when left to his own devices. He also happens to like that aesthetic.]

Oh? Would you mind either sharing you credentials or be willing to schedule a showcase of your cooking talent? I have high standards, you see.

Sure, I can cook you anything you want! Or, well, as long as I've heard of it before. I don't really know anything about food from other worlds yet, outside of this place.

[He should really work on that, considering there's nothing better for him to do around here, but anyway!]

I was raised by a professional chef, so I've been cooking for as long as I can remember. I've done everything from cooking to cleaning at restaurants, but cooking's the thing I'm best at! If I wasn't an idol, it would be all I ever do!

[Truly one of the curses of his life, being an idol.]

[An idol? Can he use that somehow?]

I see! We had similar childhoods, then. [Azul pulls out the menu he brought with him in case anyone had any questions and hands it over.] Do these dishes look familiar?

[Niki glances at the menu and nods almost immediately.]

Oh, yeah, this is easy! I could do any of these, no problem. [He'd be able to manage even if he didn't know it, but familiarity is a plus! He's totally got this.] What've you got a taste for? As long as you've got the ingredients, I can hook you up with anything. ♪

Well, clearly we specialize in seafood, so...if I let you into my kitchen, do you think you could make the cioppino?

You got it, sir! [He gives a playful wink.] Mmm, my mouth is watering already! It's been a while since I last got to work with some nicer ingredients.

[Not that ES wasn't nice or anything, but this was definitely a step up, especially compared to what he usually had. He's excited to see what the kitchen is like, too... What a nerd.]

Oh, my name's Niki, by the way! Niki Shiina, at your service. ♪

[Azul flags down one of his workers to man this table for a while so he can show Niki to the kitchen for this demonstration.]

Azul Ashengrotto, but I'm sure you knew that. You mentioned being an idol?

[Hmm. You know, as someone who's been surrounded by shady guys for a while now, he's suddenly getting a really ominous feeling about this! But he follows after Azul anyway. He is Committed now.]

Yep! Well, back home, anyway. We're kinda just starting out, though, so I'm no one important! It's totally not a big deal~.

[Technically, he's been doing the idol thing for a few years now, but he's just not confident at all. Plus, the others aren't here, either...

But he's also a weak human being and will probably say yes to anything eventually, and he knows that.]

[Look, right now? You can cook. Worry about the shady later, Azul needs more chefs in the back of house.]

But you understand the industry to some extent, I'm sure. I've been interested in perhaps finding performers for my establishment--if I hire you, would you be at all open to helping?

I feel like "understand" is going a little too far...

[In fact, he would argue that he doesn't understand anything at all! Anything except for food! But... it was true that he probably knew some things. They'd started from the ground up, after all, and even now, they were still mostly on their own.

He lets out a sigh, his shoulders hanging. He doesn't really want anything to do with idols, but it's hard to say no to someone directly asking him for help.]

Do I get employee meals?

[Eh, he'll come back to this. If the guy really doesn't know much, Azul sees no reason to ask him. But that's later.]

Of course, everyone gets one break for a meal and two other, smaller breaks provided there's not a rush. Hours are mostly flexible, with again some exceptions of there's a rush or a big event planned. So far, so fair?

Honestly, as long as I get to eat, I don't really have any complaints!

[He's not even kidding. It's actually a problem. He'll do just about anything as long as there's food involved.]

I mean, that's the whole problem with being an idol. All it does is make me really hungry, and there isn't exactly a lot of money in it for us. [Because working for ES is a huge scam, basically.] But as long as I don't have to worry about starving, then I guess I don't really mind helping out a little. ♪

[...that sounds like a scam? That's a scam. That's gotta be a scam, and Azul is many things but his deals are never scams. He is offended.]

I assure you, I do not starve my employees. Now.

[He gestures to the kitchen.]

Have at it. Let me know if you can't find something~
