kendra, roach’s most reliable bartender, had finally graduated. she was leaving, even though roach had done everything to beg her not to short of getting on his knees. no luck.

so, here he was again, in his small office, in the back of his bar, staring at his last interview of the day with a dull expression.

a mandibuzz stretched her wings with a waking squawk, and then settled on her perch. she watched their guest through a floating ribbon of smoke.

roach set his burning cigar down in an ashtray, and picked up a form, looking it over with a pair of lime green reading glasses kendra had left behind.

“can you pour a beer?”

so today was the day hope had some pretty big plans, he wanted to "blend in" with society and get himself a proper job - or at least attempt to. he had an interview and set his alarm in order to wake him up with the right amount of time he needed in order to get ready. phantasma, his gengar, had other plans for him. naturally when hope had something important to wake up for, phantasma found it in her nature to sabotage it; always for fun, of course. so it was no surprise that his alarm didn't ring and he found himself rushing to get ready within 30 minutes.[break][break]

luckily he made it.[break][break]

sure his hair was a bit messy still and maybe the button of his shirt were shifted up by one leaving it looking slightly out of order - point is, he made. he could just feel the sneer on his phantasma's face the whole way there, she was probably having a ball in her pokeball right then. hope kind of stood there awkwardly when he finally met the guy interviewing him, but it was more so the first question that got him. surely anyone could pour a beer?[break][break]

"i would hope i can, surely anyone can do that. unless there's some new fancy way to pour beer these days?" probably not the best way to answer an interview question but it was the first thought that came to his mind and hope usually spoke before he thought.

although still skimming, his head nodded with a laugh.

“tch. yeah, i don’ know ‘bout that, but you’d be surprised how many can’t pour one the regular way.”

he set the papers down and pulled off the too-small green readers, daintily folding them shut and replacing them inside his desk. leaning further back in his seat, he clasped his hands.

“why do you wanna work here, hope?”

maybe a too-typical, sort of ridiculous question on the surface, but it had multiple meanings. it was code. already once today, an interview had turned out to be another type of business offer altogether. there were plenty who wandered into ritual innocently, but with its more official tie to rocket recently, more seemed to come for the underbelly than the booze—or the poorly paying jobs behind his bar.

"maybe that's why they drink them right out of the bottles," hope didn't miss a beat in his response to that. he watched with a curious gaze as the man put his papers down and asked the big money question— one hope didn't quite have a reasonable answer to.[break][break]

how do you kindly tell someone you want want a job to fund your criminal adventures? this was one of the rare times where he actually had to put thought in his answer just to increase his chances of getting the job.... maybe.[break][break]

"well i do a lot of... activities and in order to continue doing these things i kind of need to find a source of funding for myself to continue. plus phantasma likes to eat all of our food so that can be a struggle sometimes. oh and i like to try and invest in possible future benefits," all of this code for: i need money to feed my fat pokemon, myself, and to travel from place to place committing more crimes as well as feed a slight gambling habit that will probably never pay out.[break][break]

“may be.” roach shrugged, head nodded. “as long as you can pour a pint, i’ll be happy.”

… activities.

he narrowed his eyes the slightest bit, unsure if it meant anything or not. maintaining a career in the underbelly of slateport had taught him not to ask strangers too many questions—even in a job interview, when he was the boss.

you just never know.

“sure, that’s why you need a job. any reason in perticular ya chose this bar, though?” his head fell to the side a little inquisitively, but he assured, “—’n if you were jus’ walkin’ down the street lookin’ everywhere, that’s fine too, y’know. ain’t gonna affect nothin’.”

his fingers laced. betty shifted on her perch and made a  soft gurgling sound.
