Autopilot

Who: Everyone
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Space Bar mostly, elsewhere if you like
When: Now

[She's put this off for weeks now in the vain hope that Fenris would suddenly turn back up one day, grumpy as usual.  Some people only vanish briefly, don't they?  But there's only so many double shifts she can pull, and while they've been welcome in the order of not thinking about various things (this place, all those deaths, her death, and oh Luceti, that's an interesting one) there comes a point where you both (a) have to acknowledge you're in denial and (b) fall asleep in the shuttle bay before you ever leave the Iskaulit. 

Damn you, Fenris.  It's not going to be the same without you.  This is your friend's bar.]

I guess it's that time of year again.  The Space Bar needs new staff!   I'm looking for someone with decent bartending experience or just someone who's really fast at learning.  Pay's good, so if you'd like an extra source of credits for work you choose to be doing, hit me up.  I'm also looking for one or two people who'd be willing to act as relief staff, because this place does a number on reliability at the best of times.

[Like when its proprietor vanishes completely for a month, that was fun.]

....

....also, tell me if you've found a favourite food or drink on this planet.  I'm restocking, it benefits everyone if I can have on hand what people enjoy the most.

[Catch her at the bar on shift.  Or catching a nap in inconvenient places.  Or just on the Bloodsport.  Wherever.]

Comments

[dothelokimotion]

Perhaps. I need a way to keep myself occupied.

[mikangirl]

[Oh, well. Boredom gets everyone.]

Are you in the experienced camp or the fast learner camp?

[dothelokimotion]

Both. Being a God lends itself equally.

[mikangirl]

Okay. Relief or the main gig?

[dothelokimotion]

I will stay on relief for now.

[mikangirl]

[She can't help but feel relieved. Nervousness about gods aside, she can't imagine a god taking well to being ordered around on a regular basis.]

That'd be fine. And thanks. If you've got an hour spare at some point, come in so I can show you the basics. You're Loki, right?

[dothelokimotion]

[ His eyes narrow briefly even though his tone is perfectly polite. ]

I am. What of it?

[mikangirl]

Just confirming your name. Your brother pointed you out to me. I'm Nami.

[She's still friendly, but her tone is more cautious.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ He grimaces lightly. The fool. ]

No doubt. Do you have something you wish to ask of me?

[mikangirl]

[That there is a long-suffering sibling look, isn't it. She grins a little.]

Sure. How are your people skills?

[Thor told her literally nothing about him.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Uh. Hm. ]

I'm not particularly homicidal?

[mikangirl]

[.....yeah this is why she's nervous around gods--]

That's a start. How would you deal with a drunken patron?

[dothelokimotion]

Give them a carefully worded suggestion to leave or throw them out. How else?

[ He's hardly going to murder someone for being drunk. Besides, Loki has other powers at his disposal. Jedi mind tricks, in a way. ]

[mikangirl]

[That one was at least a Standard Interview Question. It's relieving to hear, though.]

Seems fair. Could you come in for a trial shift some time this week?

[dothelokimotion]

Certainly.

[mikangirl]

Great. I'll just get you to double up for a couple hours with someone else so you can learn the general routine, so whichever day is good for you, we can go with that.

[For a relief bartender, it can be totally casual.]

[dothelokimotion]

Someone else?

Like whom?

[mikangirl]

Whoever's on shift that day. It might be me, it might be Mon El or Sam, most likely. I don't know if you've met either one of them.

[dothelokimotion]

Neither name is familiar.

[ And honestly, if Loki has met them, he probably wouldn't bother remembering their name. ]

[mikangirl]

[Hopefully you remember hers. She'll be put out if you don't.]

They're both pretty easygoing. Either one can show you the ropes if I'm not available. Did you have a preferred day?

[dothelokimotion]

[ Eh, 50/50 chance. ]

No. Why would I?

[ Who has preferred days on a space ship??? ]

[mikangirl]

Because amazingly, some people might have plans. Even here. You don't need to change things around just for a trial run. But if that's not you, then fine.

[She really hopes he's better in person.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki doesn't quite understand that kind of mundane day to day living. Mortals were so . . . dull. ]

I see. Either way, I am . . . available.

[mikangirl]

Okay. Come in tomorrow afternoon, around one.

[...why is she giving a god a trial shift in a bar, this feels bizarre. But OH WELL. Should be interesting, at least.]

[dothelokimotion]

Very well. I shall see you then.
