Hello again. Guess who just got a start-up loan to re-open the Jasmine Dragon Tea House. The old shop front is even vacant!

I've spoken to a few of you about job openings. The Grand Opening will be in two weeks, but before that, I'll need some employees to help clean and set up furniture. Maybe do some repair work. Just let me know.

What are your required qualifications?

At the moment, I mostly need unskilled labor, but if you can work a dustpan, that would be a bonus. Later... well, a good attitude and willingness to learn, but if you can cook, that would be apprecaited.

[generalginger]

[Hux has never done menial or unskilled labour in his life, and there were always droids to assist in cleaning. He's not even sure he's capable or willing to try it.]

I don't have much experience with that. [See: none.] I've been in 'management' about ten years, though. [After a moment of hesitation.] I suppose I could try...

[whitelotustile]

Management?

[Because it doesn't sound like Hux means actual retail experience.]

[generalginger]

[Yeah. It's definitely not retail, but he tries describe his work in business terms, anyway.]

Basically, I oversaw day-to-day regional operations of the organisation I work for. I had thousands of employees under my supervision--so naturally, it's extremely different than what you're looking for.


[Somehow, he refrains from grimacing.]


I just need a job while I'm here.

[whitelotustile]

Well, running a business with a handful of employees is different than supervising thousands. It is a lot more hands on, and there's less dependence on a hierarchy.

[Iroh has done both; he doesn't often talk about what he's retired from.

But, if you are willing to learn...

[generalginger]

I understand.

If you would allow me the opportunity, you have my word that I will do my best.

[He's a lot of things, but that's at least not something he says lightly. He's so desperate.]

[whitelotustile]

Welcome to the Jasmine Dragon then. What's your name?

[generalginger]

Thank you, sir. You can call me Hux.

[whitelotustile]

I'm Iroh, if I haven't introduced myself already. When can you start?

[generalginger]

I'm sure it'll be a pleasure to be working with you, Iroh. I can start as early as tomorrow.

[whitelotustile]

Just let me send you the address then.

[generalginger]

Okay, thank you.

[whitelotustile]

You're welcome. It is always good to see so much interest in a new project.

[Well, probably because a bunch of people got kicked out of Mr. Shudder's hotel, and suddenly they need real jobs, but they didn't have to approach Iroh.]
