ALECTRYON + TIAMAT

[soulping]

[ you're ushered into a tiny break room, which is SURPRISINGLY WELL LIT! There's some chairs, a single table, fountain pens and inkwells, and a box of (stale) donuts. ]

[ on the table is a single sheet of paper, with the following questions:


TEAM NAME (if made up of multiple teams, choose a new one):

1.) What would you say your skills, as a team are?

2.) How would you define suffering?

3.) How far are you willing to go to achieve victory?

4.) Where do you see yourselves in five years?

5.) What are your team's weaknesses?

6.) What accomplishment are you most proud of?

7.) Tell me about a time you made a mistake.

8.) If you saw another employee stealing from the company, what would you do?

9.) Describe your team.

10.) What motivates you?

11.) What makes you uncomfortable?

12.) Can you say: 'Peter Pepper Picked a Pickled Pepper' and cross-sell a washing machine at the same time?

13.) If I came to your house for dinner, what would you prepare for us?

14.) Calculate the angle of two clock hands when time is 11:50.

15.) Has a member of your team ever killed another living creature? Did they enjoy it?

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[onebullet]

[ After reading down the questions. ]

... what the hell sort of interview is this?

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[untamedwing]

The kind an echo does.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[onebullet]

[ Rolls her eyes. ]

Well, if this is all there is to this 'game', I shouldn't complain.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[untamedwing]

It does seem straight forward enough. What sort of skills do you have?

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[onebullet]

[ Takes a moment to think on her regained memories. ]

... Being a commander? I don't think that will help me sell a washing machine. How about you?

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[untamedwing]

I am not familiar with 'selling' things.

Perhaps being direct? Alectryon do not argue much and a leader must be decisive.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[onebullet]

[ Looks quickly down the list. ]

Alright then... how far are you willing to go to achieve victory?

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[untamedwing]

As far as necessary. I am unsure on my teammate.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[onebullet]

Even if it came down to killing your own team?

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[andallbite]

[staring at the questions, too]

Beats me. Is there a point to this?

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[onebullet]

Probably not. At least we don't have to kill anyone.

So, tell me. Can you say... [ consults questions ] Peter pepper picked a pickled pepper and cross-sell me a washing machine?

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[andallbite]

Er... Washing machine? What's that supposed to be?

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[onebullet]

I'll put 'no' for that one, then. It's a machine for washing clothes.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[andallbite]

Oh.

[in that "I get it, except I actually don't" manner]

... Right. Gotcha.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[onebullet]

[ Chuckles and shakes her head. ]

What's your name, anyway?

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[andallbite]

[shrugs]

Dunno. Can't remember my real one, and picking out another is still a work in progress.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[onebullet]

Huh. Well, good luck with that.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[carptricks]

. . .

Do we have to answer honestly?

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[onebullet]

I hope not. I don't like the idea of telling this Echo our team's weaknesses.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[carptricks]

[shrugs!]

It doesn't say anything about being honest. Let's make stuff up.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[onebullet]

Sounds like a plan.

[ But what if I scratch some words out to change the questions. 'What are your team's weaknesses' quickly becomes 'what are your team?' ]

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[carptricks]

[raises an eyebrow]

"What are your team?" What's that supposed to mean?

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[onebullet]

[ Writes down: 75% human. ]

That was easy.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[carptricks]

[pfffftahahaha]

Lemme see that pencil. I've got a good one.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[onebullet]

Oh yeah?

[ Hands him the pencil, as requested! ]
