Stark Industries, Monday

Most of Monday morning was spent cleaning up the wreckage left over from a few stray zombie piranhas that had wrestled their way into the building. Ender went about it diligently, putting computers back up and reattaching wires-- then headed up into the apartment to sort a few things out there.

By noon, he was back behind the desk, thinking about the extra space upstairs, wondering whether he had the courage to try and see if the Formic Queen in Special Collections was really real; to bring her to safety.

It had been far too long since his first visit to this particular shop. The wares intrigued him, and besides that, his trip to the clothing store last week had reminded him of the fact that he had no money to speak of. There had been a 'help wanted' sign last time he'd been here, perhaps they were still looking to hire someone.

"Afternoon..." he greeted, trailing off a bit awkwardly as he realised he'd never actually got the other boy's name.

"Ender," Ender supplied, glancing up. He listened to the radio on occasion, so he had a fair idea-- "And you're William. Come on in. I'm sure you have more questions."

He sounded a little amused, but not meanly so.

"How did you- ah, yes, the radio," William nodded as he stepped inside. "That'd do it I suppose. And you're correct about the questions."

endsthegame: (oh really?)

"Then by all means," Ender said, nodding towards the back.

There were chairs there. Hence.

"My first question," William began as he headed towards where Ender had indicated, "actually has very little to do with technology. Well, technically speaking, I suppose it really does, in a roundabout sort of way." Just spit it out, William. "That is- I was wondering, if perhaps this establishment is still hiring."

"It still is," Ender said, flicking a look at him. "The Tuesday and Friday shifts are taken, but I hear there's more days in the week."

William mulled that one over. "I have a class Thursday, but very little to do otherwise," he replied.
endsthegame: (paying attention)

"Then take your pick," Ender said. "I'll even switch my shift if you have a hankering for Monday - the day doesn't leave me with any sentimental feelings."

"I think I'll be quite all right with Wednesdays, if that's agreeable."
endsthegame: (apathetic)

[personal profile] endsthegame 2010-09-20 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Absolutely," Ender said, easily. "Just come in on Wednesday, then, and I'll show you around."

"Ho, Ender," Ben said with a smile, coming in with coffee and lunch.
endsthegame: (*snerk*)

[personal profile] endsthegame 2010-09-20 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ho, Ben," Ender said, glancing up. "I'd accuse you of trying to bribe me, but unfortunately you've got precedent on your side."
momslilassassin: ([pos] I can smirk too)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2010-09-20 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"I was hoping to be named Employee of the Month before I even started working," Ben replied, handing the coffee over.
endsthegame: (looking that way)

[personal profile] endsthegame 2010-09-20 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"We don't do that here," Ender noted. "Another precedent. Tony Stark never remembered who any of his employees were."
momslilassassin: ([pos] I'm so smooth)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2010-09-20 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Ben stuck his hand out. "I'm Ben Skywalker," he said immediately. "Nice to meet you."

Smartass.
endsthegame: (valentine wouldn't agree with this)

[personal profile] endsthegame 2010-09-20 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"Nice to meet you," Ender said, and took his hand, and shook it, "Robert."
momslilassassin: ([pos] heh. i laugh at you)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2010-09-20 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Ben snickered. "I've always admired your head for detail," he teased.

"Sorry, was it Tim?" Ender said, grinning. "You know what all this coffee has done to my mind."
momslilassassin: ([pos] aren't I cute?)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2010-09-20 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"Killed braincells by the thousands," Ben said, nodding sagely. "Busy day so far?"
endsthegame: (hm.)

[personal profile] endsthegame 2010-09-20 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"Busier than usual," he said, nodding. "I think I actually saw someone out the window."
momslilassassin: ([neg] gawking)

"Were they being chased by anything?" Ben asked, reaching for a sandwich and holding out the bag for Ender.

It was Fandom, so it was not a very strange thing to ask.
endsthegame: (paying attention)

[personal profile] endsthegame 2010-09-20 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"Nope, just walking," he said, "One of them wore a hat, though."
momslilassassin: ([pos] flirty)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2010-09-20 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"Was it a very attractive hat?" Ben teased. "Do you now suffer from hat envy?"
endsthegame: (in the background)

[personal profile] endsthegame 2010-09-20 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh yes. Terrible envy. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself now, lacking a hat."
momslilassassin: ([pos] looking down with a smile)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2010-09-20 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Ben glanced at the paper bag that the sandwiches had been carried in and grinned evilly.

A few folds and he handed the hat over. "Never say I never gave you anything," he said.
endsthegame: (*snerk*)

[personal profile] endsthegame 2010-09-20 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Ender promptly leaned over and put it on Ben's head omg modder. "On the other hand, I don't think I have a hat head, anyway."
momslilassassin: ([OOC] fanservice)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2010-09-20 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Ben burst out laughing. "I bet I look completely astral right now, huh?" he said, glancing up at the hat.
endsthegame: (almost kind of flirty)

[personal profile] endsthegame 2010-09-20 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"Pretty much the opposite," Ender said, like the cruel lad he was.
momslilassassin: ([pos] grin)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2010-09-20 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm cut to the quick," Ben lied. "I'll keep you up all night with my copious weeping now."
