Josh comes out of the storage room and says,
"Your Link right? It would be nice for someone new."

"Anyways, once I put these things away, we can start your interview so get comfortable." He told her before going to the back and putting the dishes and rags away.

Lily smiled a supportive smile at Link.

"Ready?" Says Josh

Link sat down and took a deep breath, steadying herself. When Josh asked her if she was ready, she shrugged. "To be honest, I'll never be ready. So it doesn't really matter, does it?" She smiled a little.

Josh turned to Link and said,
"I never feel ready for anything."

Link's grin widened. "Glad I'm not the only one then." Her posture was starting to relax. So far so good….

Josh walks back and makes a salad for no reason and puts it into a freezer.

(why???)

Damien put everything away and took out the pile of questions before removing his apron and sitting across from Link. "So, I just need to get basic information about you before the whole interview starts, it's just confirming your resume and background about you. Is that okay?"

andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) sat down as well.
“After that’s done, I’ll ask you two self reflective questions if that’s alright. It’s just for us to know about you and your thought process better” he added to what Damien said.

Raven put a few shots of almost pure caffeine into a cup and added some caramel before downing it, he didn't sleep, so working at a coffee shop had it's perks.

Link nodded. "Okay. That's fine."

Josh sees Raven with the caffeine and says,
"Can I have some?"

andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) turned to Raven.
“One for me also, thanks…” he requested and went back to looking at Link, ready to take notes.

Link shifted anxiously, waiting for someone to start asking questions.

"Okay, so I think we can start now." Damien said, he had just finished organizing the papers and pulled up his version of her resume. "So please, state your name, age, social security number, and any previous work places. It's okay if this would possibly be your first job."

Harmony was sitting on the counter (with a napkin under her because she isn't a heathen), listening to the interview.

Raven just pulls the drink closer to his chest and signs "No, mine."

Link replied, "My name is Link Gratrio, I am 17 years old, and this is my first job beyond volunteer jobs."

"Ok then."
Josh walks back into the storage room and makes two of the drinks. He walks out and gives one to andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer).

andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) took note of what Link said with his left hand while getting the drink with his right.
“Gracias” he subconsciously said without realizing that he didn’t say Thank you in English.

Link's eyebrows shot up. "Is Spanish your first language?"

andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) raised his head. He facepalmed and laughed a little at himself.
“No… I just have the sense to say some words in other languages whenever I’m nervous or not so comfortable…” he explained.

Damien turned his attention to andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer). "Are you nervous doing the interview because if so I can ask Harmony to take over."

Link giggled a bit. "It's an interesting quirk! First time I've heard that one." She grinned, feeling more relaxed. "I was nervous about this interview. I didn't think one of my interviewers would be nervous as well. It makes me feel better."

andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) laughed a little.
“No no it’s fine, this is not because of me being nervous but this is my first time as an interviewer so I’m not so comfortable. Anyways, keep the questions rolling, I’ll keep taking notes” he explained in a firm and confident voice.

"Ok, then." He said, sure that andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) was fine. "What types of volunteer jobs did you use to do?"

Link tapped her feet lightly, patting out a rhythm she remembered from her tap dancing lessons when she was smol. It was her own quirk to do when she was slightly impatient.

Link immediately responded, "I used to help with building houses, I worked in a soup kitchen, volunteered at the library for the summer reading to little kids and reshelving books, and I helped out in a daycare last summer." Nothing relevant….

"It doesn't matter about relevance, it's just about how much you care about your work." He said while writing that answer down. "While we're on the topic, is this just a way for you to make money or something you will actually care about doing?"
