morethanasuit)
Summary; Lin wants to be part of City Solution's security team.
Log; Fortunately, Lin's entire wardrobe consists of interview clothes. In fact, the only variance in his wardrobe from his day-to-day was not visible underneath his dark gray trenchcoat, and that was he didn't wear his piece today. He didn't know what kind of security checks he'd have to get through for the interview, and he figured coming armed would not send a correct impression.

So even though he's in a suit and tie, which he wears pretty well in that way that definitely indicates somehow that it's all he wars, he feels naked. And as a dead guy he hasn't much to fear, even if Stark had some reason to attack or otherwise harm him, which he doesn't. Not that people always need a reason...

Anyway, he's not totally comfortable, standing in a hospital-clean looking lobby, realizing he has no idea where to put himself and silently worrying he'll be late when in fact he is 7 minutes early.

Punctuality is important to him.

Tony had seen several people this morning about security positions and had been rather pleased with how the interviews had gone. He hadn't expected any shortage of applicants but the quality of the people interviewing pleasantly surprised him.

Walking into the lobby of the building precisely on time he spotted the man who must be Lin, his next interviewee. The man wore a suit, which was nice. It also looked like he wasn't just wearing it for the interview, which was even better. Tony Stark appreciated a good suit.

"Lin, I presume?" he asked, holding out his hand and giving the man a friendly smile. "I'm Tony Stark."

Lin shook hands. "That's right. A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Stark." While Lin wasn't precisely glowering, he wasn't the type to smile. Or rather, he was barely capable of it. That was probably not a good thing, but Lin let none of his self-consciousness toward that particular end show.

After all, he already knew he'd be perfect for this job. He wasn't being asked to host a ball or teach children how to finger paint. As long as he was pleasant, it probably wouldn't be a problem.

Like being punctual, having good manners was also incredibly important to Lin.

He followed Stark to the interview space, still taking in the features of the building. It reminded him of home, just a little, and he appreciated that.

"City Solutions is a scientific think thank," Tony explained as they made their way to his office. "It's a place that scientists of all types can come together to work on their pet projects with access to state of the art equipment and funding. The main restrictions are the projects have to benefit the City as a whole and they can't have weapons applications."

Tony wasn't sure if Lin was interested or not, but Tony was proud of what he was doing and liked to talk about it.

"The security systems are both state of the art and arcane," he continued. "Combining magic and technology. But I'm a firm believer in technology and people working together."

As a matter of fact, Lin was interested. He listened intently and nodded where appropriate. "An organization for the benefit of the whole City. I very much like the idea." Stark seemed like a leader, and definitely had pride in his project. It was ambitious, but the man didn't seem nervous about it at all, which indicated he likely knew what he was doing, even had previous experience.

"Aside from the curses, I have to admit I have no real experience with magic. There's nothing like that in my world. But I'm willing to learn at any capacity I'm able to."

"Thank you," Tony said with a nod of his head. It was nice when people who believed in something worked for you. Not that he expected all of the security personal to take a bullet for a project but he was a firm believer in having pride in what you did.

"As far as magic goes, I plan to hire people specifically for that purpose," he explained. "If you're interested in learning about it I'm more than happy to find someone to help with that. This is a place of learning and collaboration for everyone."

Lin nodded. "It would be better for me to have some knowledge, even if limited, of every aspect of the security system. And... I admit to curiousity on the subject as well." The City had improved him in many ways, and stating outright an emotion, even one as innocent as curiousity, was one of them.

He could be something beside his job. In the world outside the Syndicate, humanity and personality were actually considered assets to be valued in an individual worker. Or so he'd read.

A respectable corporate job. [log - ongoing]
