Mr Wayne.
My name is Dominique Destine and I'd be interested to join your Enterprise as a researcher.

With this message, I will be sending you my resume, however, if you feel like it's necessary for us to meet in person, that can be arranged as well.

Ms. Destine--

We have received your resume and are interested in contacting you about a research position. We prefer to hold some form of interview, be it over the network or in person. Which is more convenient for you?

Re: [Text]

[pmsgargoyle]

Thank you for the fast reply, Mr Wayne.

If possible, I'd prefer the interview to be in person, for I wish to know whom I will be working with. I'm also available during any time of the day.

Please, let me know where and when we could meet.

[sturmnbatarangs]

It's no trouble. Does this afternoon at 4 work for you?

[and then he gives directions to Wayne Enterprises or something woo]

Re: [Text]

[pmsgargoyle]

It'd be perfect. Until then.

[t-t-t-timeskip?]

[waitin' in the place he said he'd meet her]

[action!]

[Dominique was wearing a nice red suit and black shoes. She really didn't like this sort of human clothing, but she had to look good and... not suspicious, yeah.

Because smiling isn't particularly required to this sort of thing - a serious face means a serious hard worker - she didn't have one on her lips yet. The woman came to the place agreed just on time]

Mister Wayne?

Re: [action!]

[sturmnbatarangs]

[And her effort shows, because Bruce thinks she looks pretty professional, to say the least.]

[He also did the usual intense stalking of her network posts in the meantime and found her to be fairly level-headed, if pretty network-shy, though something about some of the things she said makes him wonder.]

Ms. Destine, then. I appreciate the time you took to come here.

Re: [action!]

[pmsgargoyle]

It's my pleasure. I am the one being interviewed, after all. [she extends her hand for a simple hand shake] And it is a pleasure to meet a fellow businessman who was capable of building his Enterprise even in this environment.

Re: [action!]

[sturmnbatarangs]

[woohooooo handshake]

I have to say, it took a lot longer than expected. Where are you from originally?

[said like it's just smalltalk instead of the start of the interview]

Re: [action!]

[pmsgargoyle]

Scotland, but I've studied through Europe and finally installed myself in Manhattan. May I ask what about yourself?

[she wasn't really curious about it, but if he wanted smalltalk, she'd give it to him]

Re: [action!]

[sturmnbatarangs]

Earth as well, though I'm from a place called Gotham City. [said with a very good chance that she wouldn't have heard of it- he's becoming used to people not knowing his town even if he knows theirs.]

In any case, we're here for an unforeseeable amount of time, we might as well make the most of it.

[and he begins flipping through her resume idly]

Now, you were previously at a company called Nightstone Unlimited, correct?

Re: [action!]

[pmsgargoyle]

[she didn't really know the place. And Demona didn't watch cartoons so HOW COULD SHE GUESS] I don't believe I've ever hear of it, forgive me.

[she nods at his question] Yes. Me and my partner built it from the scratch.

Re: [action!]

[sturmnbatarangs]

That's hardly unusual here, unfortunately.

[or fortunately, because gotham is a shithole that no one should be subjected to, yadda yadda, etc etc, vengeance and the night, the whole deal]

I'm interested in the work you and your partner were doing in cloning research. What... level of technology, shall we say, was your world at when the two of you were completing this research? Just for an idea of the advances that were made.

Re: [action!]

[pmsgargoyle]

[Cloning. Well, it was an interesting project, until your partner clones you and says he no longer wants you as lover because he would rather have the clone instead. Fun.

Oh yeah, and humans and their morality. Though she never cloned a human, they cloned gargoyles, she was going to pretend it was all the same and all morally grey]

Mr Wayne, I need you to understand what cloning means. It is a morally grey area for everyone, even though everyone searched for it. What my company did was not known by general population for the fact you cannot expect uneducated people to understand what these advances brought.

[SHE SOUNDS SO PROFESSIONAL] Most genetic experiences were left at the hands of our geneticist, Dr. Anton Sevarius. I myself followed many of his experiments while working at our company, although Mister Thailog [that asshole] followed the ones I did not see, so the good Doctor was always under supervision, and I had access to all logs and reports.

[OKAY, WORKING METHOD ASIDE. She sort of needed to think things through before

Re: [action!]

[sturmnbatarangs]

[He's no stranger to cloning himself, and is well aware of the ethical implications. He likes that she's bringing them up, though, it makes her seem much more responsible in his eyes. She could be a good choice.]

So genetic manipulation along with cloning? That's impressive. How big was the company?

[of course, he has his own issues with genetic manipulation, but hey, it's his company, he can make sure they're not using to, oh, say, overwrite someone's DNA with that of the Batman to produce a clone/son]
