Inside the door is a small plain lobbey. To either sides there are chairs, couches, and tables for people to wait on. Diectly ahead there is a man sitting behind a desk, an empty chair infront of the desk. Behind him is a door.

The first thing you would notice about the man is that he is... black. Not brown... but deep midnight black, like his skin was carved out of a cloudy sky at midnight. He looks up as Jared enters, but dosent speak.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. 'Don't screw this up, right?'" David murmured to his girlfriend who had dropped him off before the UUMCO building, resume in hand. He didn't BS a single detail, outlining his experiences in high school as both a soccer and a football player, and his time acting in the school's drama program, though without any work experience. He was praying there would be none required for getting this job. There appeared to be others here as well, hopefully not looking to get a job in the same area he was. The building seemed a little... small, but he didn't care. Work was work as long as he got the money for school. Seeing little else to do outside, he entered the building.

Unfortunately, Leon was unable to laugh at Jared as he tried to walk into the door in a dignified manner as it was already open, apparently. So he followed in, and waves cheerfully at the strange man. Got to make a good first impression, as they say.

"I came to inquire about a job... I've got lots of experience doing all kinds of things, from service industry to cooking to janitorial duties." Leon tells him. "I can give you a more detailed list of the jobs I've held in the past year or so if you want, or go further back."

Adam walked into the building. He had called a few days ago and came, hoping to get a job. "Man, I hope I get it..." he said.

Kevin entered the building and noticed allot of people were here. It couldn't be for his job could it? He stood near the chairs looking for a secretary or something, but all he could see was some dark guy in a desk.

"What are you planning?!"
"Your shelter is secure, is it?"
"Of course it is! Just see for yourself how powerless you are!"

David proceeds to lean against a wall as he watches the others attempt to address the man. If he was there alone, he would have done it himself, but the whole lot of them talking to him at the same time would probably piss him off.

The man looked slowly from person to person, then spoke. His voice was deep and calm... almost reassuring.

"Welcom to Upton and Upton's branch office. This is only a temporary location... made expressively for the hiring of new employees. You will be taken to the main office and your new homes should you pass the requirements. Would the gentleman who came in first please come to the desk... the rest of you please wait."

David sighed, popping in a pair of headphones from his iPod and putting the music down to a barely audioble level, still leaning against the wall. This way, he could still hear everyone, and the music wouldn't disturb anyone. He hated waiting more than anything else, and music got him through the dull times.

Jared followed without hesitation to wherever that guy was going. He hadn't ever liked listening to authority, but this got him paid. The idea of passing the requirements was not friendly with him. Not once did he think about qualifications, all he had was that fake ID and the BSed resume...sure he could lift stuff...when he wanted to.

The man nods as Jared sits down.

"The first thing I need to know, sir... is if you are able-bodied for the stresses that will be put on you during the course of this job. We have a medical program which can correct most flaws, but we need to know about them beforehand."

He pauses for a moment, then continues.

"Do you suffer from any disease, chronic pain, cancerous growths, or any damaged limbs? I assure you that possession of any of these things does not hurt your chances of employment... but concealing them is grounds for disciplinary action."

Acknowledging that this was REALLY going to take a while, David managed a subtle yawn. Hopefully this guy would hurry up.

Kevin walked from one side of the room to another. He just wanted to get the job and start making money. "What a drag... "
"Let me confirm, your shelter shield is activated?"
"What are you planning?!"
"Your shelter is secure, is it?"
"Of course it is! Just see for yourself how powerless you are!"
"...Roger that."
