What exactly is it that you do?

Whatever I need to. I can waitress, wash dishes, answer phones, I've done some house painting ...a little of everything.

Right of course. That's an interesting necklace you have on. Who made it?

*touches the necklace*

I did. I make jewelry but there aren't any jobs for that in the paper today either. Eventually I'll have enough to start my own collection.

I believe I may have a commission for you, if you do not mind that the person I will be gifting it to, rarely publicly displays herself.

ooc- he really does want to commission a piece. It may take a while, but we can set something up in a week or two from now.

That would be great. I don't mind, but I would need to be able to keep a picture of the piece to show to other clients.

Okey- that sounds good!

That's definitely doable. *hands her his card*

Do you have any way for me to contact you?

ooc- * g *

*takes his card with a smile that dims a little bit* Uh-actually, I'm kind of in between places at the moment...do you mind if I call you?

I tell you what. Call me two weeks from today. I'll inform any that are taking my calls, to patch you through. Though I will have to at least have your name to do that?

*relieved* That sounds great. Kateri. My name is Kateri Clarke. *holds out her hand*

*shakes hand*

Excellent. Well, all right, Ms. Kateri Clarke, I look forward to hearing from you then. *offers an efficient smile*

ooc - I am just about ready- I see Robin has a post up for you as well. I will mark it as flexi-bendy time and she can call him in Chicago from wherever she happens to be.

I will have the post up in the morning or way later tonight.

What are you looking for, then? I see you're a bit of a jack of all trades, but what would you like to find?

Ideally I'd be able to work with jewelry, eventually I'll have my own shop. For now though I'm not too picky. I'm not afraid of hardwork.

Hmm. *taps his chin with his fingers* A shop takes money, investment, backers...

That necklace you're wearing, is that some of your work?

Yes. I just finished it yesterday. Each of my pieces are unique. No two are the same.

I've been working on getting the capital together. It's just going to take time.

Quite nice. Do you mind if I inspect it closer?

Time, and a steady income. You say you can answer phones?

Of course! *pushes her hair off of it*

Answer phones, use a computer, make coffee - I make really great coffee. I don't really have references though. My last employer and I - had a difference of opinion.

*peers at and seems favorably impressed* Lovely.

Well, it just so happens I find myself, well, my company rather, in need of a receptionist in our New York office. Where are you, just now?

A difference of opinion? *chuckles, rather sympathetically* I've been there. May I ask over what? The previous receptionist has been transferred due to being rude to a friend of mine, you see, and I'd hate for that to happen again.

Thank you.

I've been in Chicago, but I can take the bus to New York and be there in 24 hours.

Yeah, he was interested in more than my excellent coffee and phone skills. Some people like to try and take advantage.

You're welcome.

Quite a ride to take for a vague job offer from a complete stranger. *grins at her* Rob Fellowes. I'm a-- *takes out business card and glances at it* --music producer. What's your name, then?

Ahh. Sometimes I do flirt, and I can't promise I'd never ask you out to dinner, but I like to think that I am a gentleman about it.

I've been meaning to get out of Chicago anyway, and if it doesn't work out I can just look for more work in New York.

Kateri Clarke.

I can handle myself, but no one wants to work for bullies.

A very optimistic attitude about life. I like that. A pleasure to meet you, Kateri.

No, they certainly don't. Well-- *hands her the card he looked at* --there's all my information. Got enough money to make it here then, or shall I spot you, as a prospective applicant?

The pleasure's mine.

*takes the card* I'm very hardworking. You won't regret giving me a chance.

I've got money for a ticket. I'll see you as soon as I get there.

Giving chances is my business! Well, not really, making music's the business. But I do like making investments; they often pay off.

Certainly. Just give me a ring, mobile phone's on the card there.

I'll see you soon.

ooc: that would be great!

Ta!
