[Best get it out of the way that she doesn't look completely human right off the bat, so Mipha will choose the video option first. She smiles gently an bows her head in a polite, formal sort of greeting.]
Miss Lysa? My name is Mipha. I'm honored to make your acquaintance.
I've seen your post about employment at the clinic, and would very much like to offer my services to help. I am a healer already, though I would be interested in learning more on potion making and your ways on healing as well.
Please, allow me to help in any way I can.

Good evening, sweet one. And what an interesting look you have! I have not seen anything like it; are you from one of the outer isles, perhaps?
[ But enough smalltalk. Mipha's here for a reason, and Lysa's thankful someone's showing interest. ]
Thank you for heeding my plea. Could I know more about your capabilities?

Master Evras?
My name is Cadderly Bonaduce, and I am hoping to be able to speak to you about a possible position at your institute. I have some skills that I believe you will greatly benefit from.

Yes, hello, is this Evras? I do hope it's not too early for a face to face, but I'd like to skip formalities. The pursuit of knowledge is more important, all that.
Dorian of House Pavus. Perhaps you've heard of me? No? That doesn't surprise me. My father was keen on my unsuccessful career in politics, so I've only just recently been able to wade into the waters of... real knowledge this world has to offer. However, I am probably the most self-motivated candidate you'll ever find, and definitely the most intelligent. I would make it my personal duty to ensure the truths you discover at the Institute are accurately accounted and properly admired.

[Perhaps a Princess wanting to join the royal guard seems a bit...counter productive or contrary to her title, but it's the call for justice and putting an end to criminal activity that interests her.
her people may have been known for taking a diplomatic approach but...well, Allura's recently gotten into the Urge to be more active in her help.]
Ashti of the Royal Guard? My name is Allura, and I am responding to your call for new recruits. I wish to help protect the citizens of Olympia.

[ Ever since the posting went up, 76 has put thought into the possibility of joining the Royal Guard. He's got his reservations about it, that's for sure, but it's a way to gather intel about this city he's found himself in, and he's got to work one way or another. He doesn't have a lot of other marketable skills other than his combat abilities. Not ones that he wants to make use of, anyway. ]
I might be interested in joining the guard, but I've got a few questions first.
[ It might be bold for a potential employee to start making demands, but he isn't too concerned. ]

[She's met with the usual flippant smile of Ardyn, vaguely lopsided. Beyond that, however, his words are carefully chosen, fluid and easily spoken.]
Good day to you, my name is Ardyn Izunia. I hear the Royal Guard is recruiting, and I'd like to offer my services if you'd have them. I am both capable and experienced, of that I can assure you. [The smallest pauses of consideration.] Mm, what else? I imagine you wish to know the specifics.

[ For her part, Ashti rarely smiles, and she doesn't do so now, either. But she can appreciate the professionalism Ardyn provides. ]
Hello, Ardyn. The most important thing I need to know is, can you fight? I also want to know what sort of combat you've done in the past.

[ though with the limited time available, it was difficult to get a full read on Ashti, though like most members of a governing military, it seemed like opinion was split on her. as it stood, however... he could work with it. and so his tone is incredibly polite as he first speaks, and he wears a truly winning smile. ]
Good afternoon, Commander. My name is "Ocelot", and I believe that I have the exact skills that you might be looking for in a royal guardsman, if you'll allow me your time.
[ that was a good enough start for now. he'd be able to learn more from her reply. ]

Good afternoon. I am Porpentina Goldstein and I have interest in joining the Royal Guard. Unfortunately, as I am not from Olympia I do not have many references you may request but I can procur at least one if needed.
In my home it did not go by Royal Guard but it was something alike. My job was the tracking and apprehending of criminals as well as being the soldier in battle if needed. It focused on combat magic, but we had to learn stealth and reconnaissance as well.
I can demonstrate and prove all skills as needed.

[He remembers you Evras, even though he's certain you know nothing about him. None the less his curiosity was morbidly piqued from the time he had last seen 'you'. So as much as he came here for a job it wasn't really because he wanted one.]
You can call me Genjo Sanzo for now if you wish. I have come in response to your request for possible job openings. I can't say I have much experience in the physical sciences but have spent my life researching various philosophical and theological studies throughout the world. I have spent the past three years pursuing more active research while traveling the land and am well equipped for on the field opportunities. Especially if you require something that deserves more manual labor, hunting down research specimens for example.
I am quite interested in expanding my own studies in the process of course.
[Might as well use this as an opportunity to learn about the lands and its cultures.]

[ The rest of your experience is okay, Sanzo, but hunting down research specimens? Color him immediately interested. The simulation served you well. ]
You aren't squeamish or anything like that? You're willing to go into the field and look for rare specimens?

[ This one's scruffy-looking, though she sits straight in the hopes of making a decent first-impression. Having propped her phone on the kitchen table, she regards it neutrally. ]
Hi, Ms Koralle. [ oh, very smooth. ] I'm Asta. [ sure. ] I don't think I'm suited to your establishment, but... I'm sure you have your finger on the pulse of the city and might be able to direct me somewhere I'd actually be of use. [ quickly — ] If you've the time.

Darling, there is a place for everyone at this establishment — even, er - [ Jyn is a rough-looking girl, but Koralle sees potential in anyone. ] Well, all you need is a makeover. You've got potential.
[ Koralle leans back against her chair, resting her chin against her palm. She's smiling mirthfully at the girl, certain she wouldn't take her offer. Already, she is thinking about potential places that might suit her based on her demeanor alone. ]
Tell me about yourself, Asta. What would you put on yourTinder match-making profile?

have one (1) lance, blue paladin of voltron, tossing his hair back on a video application to a deeply respected and deeply intimidating high officer of the city's veritable police force. elsewhere, a certain princess of altea is likely cringing out of reflex. ]
Ashti, of the Royal Guard? Consider yourself in luck! The name's Lance, fighter pilot and sharpshooter extraordinaire. Back home, people call me The Cook [ no one. no one calls him that. ] because there's no criminal I can't fry.

So you're saying you're good with a gun? Or are you more of a bow and arrow type?

[He sounds perfectly calm and collected, voice smooth and polite, despite that he's never had to apply for a job in his life and is, as such, actually quite nervous. At the very least, maintaining an appearance of confidence in the face of something that unsettles him is something he has a lifetime of experience with.]

[Well, he was planning to apply to work for the guard, but then Lysa's message was posted and jumped out at him. The prospect of helping a city he doesn't know well enough yet to respect to apprehend whoever they happen to decide are criminals gives him pause; a more earnest plea for help protecting the sick and weak is something he can feel better about. Then again, he doesn't really know whether they're in need of what he has to offer.]
Hello ma'am. If you need a hand you can count on me. Can't heal any but I am good with a hammer. And if its heavy or dangerous I can handle it. Don't need to pay me for it any.

You sound like a man or woman with considerable strength. You would probably be more suited to join the Royal Guard --
And yet you came to me. [ This is interesting to her. She often gets applications from people who already know a thing or two about medical care. He's also offering his help completely free of charge, which is quite commendable. ]
Before we speak further, please show yourself to me.

I guess I need a job of some kind and yeah, I'm asking about it. I don't really want to fight and I'm not that smart.
[ Considering the positions are available in the Red Light District, Rogue is just assuming right off the bat that appearances will be taken into account, so she goes straight for the video feed. ]
Hi there. I saw that you're looking for some new bartenders for your establishment. I just arrived in Olympia with the group of refugees and, it's been a while, but I used to be pretty handy behind a bar.
[ She's all politeness and southern drawl, and she hopes that this Koralle isn't put off by the unusual white streak in her hair. The little jobs she's picked up here and there have helped keep food on the table, but she'd really like something more. ]

[ Oh, no — it's not her streak of white hair that makes her so interesting (though that is a plus), but her strange accent. Koralle has heard it before, and she cannot place a finger on where, but she's instantly endeared by it. ]
Oooh. No doubt you can be handy in other things as well, hm? [ She's teasing, relax. ] Are you comfortable around this kind of setting?

[ The Royal Guard reminds him eerily of the responsibilities he once had as a knight templar, and while willing to ignore it initially the other jobs didn't catch any of his interest. Besides, he's been forced to let go of any sentimental or haunting value in what he's lost eight hundred years ago after turning and this is probably the only place he'll find true entertainment. ]
Hello, Ma'am. [ But even though centuries have passed he still knows how to speak to someone of higher rank, especially that of a commander. Perhaps just a small fraction of his personality that managed to remain over time. ] My name is Crowley Eusford, I saw that you were looking for recruits for the royal guard and was interested in joining.

( first impressions are everything.
that small nugget of experience and wisdom does little to help Eugene, who doesn't quite understand how to connect that to a world where he's not getting into a job with falsified papers and almost no interview process. although the Chairwoman had given him his current job and paid for his necessary training, it was a favor. a friend's charitable act on a young man with nothing left.
enforcing the law and mingling with righteous types of his own volition? not after the slaughter he'd lived through. so he transmits his image with all of the confidence he can muster — shoulders squared and chin up, the curls of his hair fighting against the combed attempt to tame them, expression painted with a more surly determination. )
Uh, hello. Eugene Sevenstark.
( cue an already visible crack in his confidence as his gaze drifts from looking to the "camera". )
I mean ... that's my name. I'm not calling you that, Miss.
( more confidence crumbling ... falling apart like a cookie. )
Anyway, ( — clearing his throat — ) I greatly respect your line of business and the comfort it provides. I — I wanted to start off with that.

[ Koralle quite likes that look on him. It's an assumed confidence men and women alike demonstrate just before it crumbles when she orders, strip. Luckily for her, he doesn't last nearly as long (hehe), which makes him all the more endearing to her. ]
Oh, Eugene, you can call me whatever you'd like. Of course, if you prefer something else, there is a better setting for you to call me Mistress.
[ She winks, meaning every word completely. ]
But just look at how lucky I am for such a pretty face to land on my lap. Now, sell yourself to me, Eugene. What do you have that makes me want you?

Yes, hello? Ah, good. Hello there! I'm Kind Richard and I was interested in your position as a royal guard. I'm, haha, well I'm already a tad overqualified, as I've done my fair time leading armies and so on. [Or rather... his version of Ashti did all that, but details.] So it only seems a natural fit for me to go for the guards. Though I'll admit, I'm more officer material. You know, bark commands, and all that. How does that work for you, hm?

[ Kind. it's an odd name, but she's heard odder. ]
Hello, Kind.
Let me get this straight. You expect me to allow a complete stranger whom I've never met, someone completely new to Olympia, someone who could very well be a Wyver spy, for all I know, and allow them to lead my armies?
[ She's met many new recruits with confidence, and some even have the skills to back it up, but this... is new. ]

[Color Mai curious here. She doesn't necessarily want to be a 'model' but what better of a place to find out more about the city itself. It's not like a brothel would lack business after all.
So she sends on her image bearing her typically apathetic expression, leaned back in a chair.]
So just what do your models do.
[Sure she'll probably go for something more chaste but why not ask. Her tone of voice doesn't hint that she honestly has no idea what this is all about at least.]

[ Koralle, in contrast, is excited to see a new face, even though it's not the most alluring expression. She feigns a thoughtful face, canting her head slightly to the side as she holds her chin. ]
I thought it was quite obvious... what do you think they do?

Miss Lysa, my name is Mantis. I thought I might be able to help at the Sanctuary. [She's taken the conversations she's had here to heart. She can help. She can be a good person. She just has to try.] I can clean and serve in any capacity you deem fit. I have empathic abilities and can comfort with a touch or send a patient into sleep, when it is needed. I would like to help and this seems to be a good way to do it.

My dear, you are beautiful. Your presence would definitely be a comforting one, this I am sure.
[ And anyone who's humble enough to offer to clean, she can take a liking to. These abilities, though. Putting somebody to sleep is something she would need to make a potion for. Not many in Olympia can accomplish it with a touch of the hand. ]
If what you say is true, your ability would be helpful. How can I be certain that it is, however?
