Okay then. [and they just? stop talking? they seem to be glancing around the bar, picking at one of their gloves uncertainly. they also don't immediately start talking again so jason can lead now. ]
Some jobs you just fall into without needing to talk about your qualifications or prove yourself. You didn't exactly have an interview for your job, did you?
I did know that, but I haven't obsessively read over everyone's files either. [they tilt their head.] How much does it really bug you to know we got debriefed on stuff about you guys?
The only one who might know every detail is Gemini because they're a huge nerd. Aquila might've read up on stuff they found interesting. Vulpecula is more likely to try to get to know you just by talking to you, and Lepus doesn't care enough to bother. Virgo's full of hot air, Orion and Cetus are more likely to talk to you, even if Orion might tease you, and let you draw your own conclusions and that's pretty much what you need to know.
[they do not mention themselves because that isn't important.]
And here I thought you just spent all your time in the cemetery digging in the dirt.
[He accepts this answer, though. For now.]
I didn't think guest relations would rely on only basic facts and notes. It's weird to me you do guest relations in a hotel where we're contractually obligated to be entertaining through murder, but you told me to think about the deals. Wouldn't you rather we find reasons to off each other besides just the hostages?
It's not always just basic facts and notes. It's instinct. And it's observations on my own. [. . .] We're not here to interfere with whatever you guys want to do. If you want to find ways to kill each other, you definitely don't need our advice. You'd just figure out how to do it.
[He dislikes how much he agrees with the instinct and observation part. He will not commend it because he's too disgruntled at having something in common.]
I think there's plenty about a job you can like and dislike. But like I said, we're not here to interfere with whatever you guys plan to do and how you play this game.

You never know though. Some people might even say yes if you ask right.

[He actually doesn’t seem put-out, almost like he expected it. He is just fussy.]
no subject
[just. very chill and matter of fact here. ]

He coughs them up on the table. Very hygienic.]
no subject
...you can tell me I'm wrong if you want. [nonplussed. a little intrigued, slightly cautious.]
no subject
He takes it, but only to uses it to sweep the petals off the table and away. Goodbye forever. He doesn't want to cough up more stupid flowers, so:]
You're wrong.

Damn, cat got your tongue already? [JASON IS TERRIBLE AT SMALL TALK.] If you want to order something, go ahead.
no subject
Okay at guest relations, terrible at small talk. I'll think about it. [they seem to be at a loss for what to order.]
Let's start over. You want information right? What other questions do you have that maybe I can answer?
no subject
[Jason is a leo, but they will just vibe together at being terrible at small talk. Dick, where are you? Help.]
Most of the ones I have none of you will answer. [He glances away, thinking.] You ever met the Nightman in person?
no subject
No. Kinda keeps busy with other things and leaves us to general operations. Just like any other boss.
no subject
You didn't have an interview? Nightman really runs the shadiest business.
no subject
no subject
But you already knew that.

[And also? He has a little Joker orchestrated-life trauma to go on top of it.]
But I’m not surprised considering all of this.

And you?
[They will literally spend this whole conversation calling each other out back and forth, huh.]
no subject
Statistics. Your basic facts and notes to make my job a little easier for you guys.

Do you like it? Watching us do this?
[It doesn't sound accusatory. It sounds curious.]

[But it sounds like he expected it, so he isn't as irritated as he should be.]
Just good ol' staff. I get it.
no subject
You can try asking again in a few weeks after you get to know us better. Do a little observing yourself.
