Kitten nervously straightens the supplies and papers on the front desk. She has taken up this job only from necessity to fill the position. Kitten would far prefer cleaning out of sight and out of the attentions of the general public. She allways became nervous at attention because of what she had been through, but she would put on a brave face and try to dispell her apprehensions if someone were to come asking for service. The hotel was new, so it had not garnered much attention as of yet, though Kitten feared the little attention it would start out with.
She wanted so desperately to get back to cleaning empty rooms where she didn't have to worry about people and their intentions.

Kitten eyes the doors and the empty lobby apprehensively before opening a waist high door to step out from behind the desk. There was no-one here to serve and there was no point staying there idly. The desk was neatly arranged, not a single thing out of place, so Kitten leaned over the edge to bring out a bell that could be rung for her services if needed.

On setting the bell on the counter, Kitten stands up-right and heads to the empty club. There, she goes behind the bar, takes out a clean rag and some cleaning solution, and gets to work scrubbing down every inch of the counter from the side closest to the entrance, to the other end. Her body sways in quick tight circles as she quickly scrubs the more stubborn spots, but otherwise, Kitten does long sweeping motions to thoroughly clean it, keeping a sharp ear out for sounds of someone entering or the ringing bell in case they were quiet visitors, the kind you don't hear walk into a room.

After thoroughly cleaning the counter, Kitten wasted no time in moving over to clean the tables in the same manor. She made her way straight over to the nearest table and got to work making the table-tops spotless. As she finished each table, Kitten pushed all the chairs back in around that table.

When Kitten was finished with the counter and all the tables, her arm was thoroughly sore. She only paused for a moment to lean against a table before making her way back to the bar. Kitten took a glass from behind the counter and filled it with ice, then the rest of the way with water. She took a long drink from the glass before pausing to take in the large empty space. It wouldn't be like this for long, so she enjoyed it while it lasted.

On finishing her glass, she pours the ice down the drain of a sink meant for employees to wash their hands, then sets the glass next to a rack for cleaning dishes so that she could reuse it later for herself. If she wasn't cleaning, then she really should be at the front desk. Kitten decided to stay there for awhile longer before returning to her cleaning of the already near pristine complex.
As she made her way to the circular white desk, she began to sing softly to herself.
"Deep beneath the cover
of another perfect wonder
where it's ohhh white as snow.
Running through a field
where all my tracks will be concealed
and there's no-ohh where to go..."
She continued to sing softly as she opened the door and stepped behind the desk, calmed by being able to have worked and by her echoing voice drawing her attention away from her apprehensions.

Outside the Silver Towers, the weather loomed as a dark blue, cloudy day for quite the while before it started to heavily drizzle. Jin, who recently got into town, made his 'blah; face. It was burdensome enough to go into the city early in the morning for shelter and a job; rain was just pushing it. Nevertheless, Jin just let out a long sigh before smiling again and changing from a leisurely walk to a casual walk. He never did like boding too long on things like that.
Silently, but frantically, Jin's eyes swished from side and side, checking for a building that would take him in, temporarily or not. Most of the first buildings he saw were restaurants and stores that he couldn't afford loitering in. But as soon as those passed by, he came upon a ray of luck: he found himself infront of two huge towers, a hotel.
Jin blinked, spying some 'Help Wanted' signs on the side as he grinned, jogging his way in and out from the rain. He tried to be polite, opening the entrance door rather quietly as the noise of drizzling rain was replaced by a melodious voice. He blinked again, looking up to see the one girl at the reception desk as she continued to sing in that soft, but hearty manner. Jin's instincts kicked in as he crept in silently, hoping to listen a little more.

Vicente stood in front of the large tower with a smile on his face. He wore his leathery suit complete with cane and top hat for this was a professional occasion. He eyed a young boy creeping in silently and as he approached he tapped the back of his knee with his cane.
"Hear for join up with this lavish hotel or just enjoying the view?" he asked in a jokingly sadistic tone as he looked the boy over.

For some odd reason, Jin felt that the cane made quite a rattling sound. He wasn't sure if it was just him, or common knowledge. Nevertheless, he shifted his eyes and noticed Vicente a few moments before flesh fell in contact with wood.
"Hm. At the moment, just one. But maybe I'll be here for both quite soon." He replied back in a casual tone, his weight shifting backwards as he plopped onto a nearby sofa set up at the entrances. He made himself comfortable before turning his head towards him, face full of a wide grin and a quick chuckle. "How about you?"

Kitten snapped to attention when she heard the soft drizzle of the rain only slightly louder. She took on a much more professional manor. She stood straight and tall with her hands folded on the desk in front of her as she waited to be called into service. She blushed thoroughly and turned her gaze only slightly down to compose herself as she waited. Her calm facade all but completely hid her nervousness at being in this situation.

He chuckled slightly at the boy's casual, yet humorous retort. He then proceeded to lean forward on his cane as he smiled at the young boy with a confident, yet sadistic smile.
"I'm actually here to see about becoming the manager of this fine establishment. There is quite a lot of potential for great things here that I envision," he explained as he eyed the receptionist and began to trace his gaze over her observantly.

While Jin was listening to the answer from the mysterious man, his ears twitched from the sudden lack of music. As if time had frozen between Vicente and Jin, he turned his head back to spot the kitten worker standing up at attention.
"Heh. I see. You look quite the man for the job." He spoke in a half-attentive manner subconsciously. "Scratch that last part about me. I think I'll do both right now." Jin quickly added to his statement as he got out of his now-starting-to-warm sofa seat. He gave himself a quick brush-down between walking towards the reception desk, casually as usual. "Hello there. I noticed that you had a couple 'Help Wanted' signs on the window. Do you think I can try for one, Miss?" He spoke with the same grin plastered on as before.

"Oh" Kitten gasped nearly completely inaudibly and blushed still further at his analyzing gaze. At hearing he would be seeing about management, she prepared the papers and information he would need for such a descision. She brushed a few stray strands of her long blonde hair from her face as she waited anxiously for him to come up so that she could do something other than stand there, but it was not her place as a receptionist to rush him. She would stand there patiently till she was called on.

"Oh, yes, of course." Kitte quickly took out some papers for him. "Here are some papers, job listings, descriptions and applications if you'd like. If you've any questions, I'll be more than ready to answer them." She looked him kindly in the face, hoping to see him around. It would be nice to get some extra help.

Jin gave a light nod as a gesture of thanks before accepting the light pile of papers. He set the list of jobs on one side while collating the rest together on the other. With that done in a few seconds, he picked up the one sheet of paper, looking through the myriad of openings. To his surprise, almost everything seemed open. He wondered if this place was actually as new as the listings suggested.
While scanning through the titles, something finally caught his eye. Jin blinked for a moment before he voiced out the position to himself. "Bartender." He said as he checked that off with a convenient pen. He grabbed the necessary applications for the job as he looked back up. "By chance, do you think I could see the bar real quick, Miss?"
