For those of you I haven't introduced myself to yet, my name is Dr. Stephen Strange.

The more recently arrived may not know but thanks to the generosity of Morningstar we own two buildings in New Amsterdam: one is the garage above the current safehouse and the other is a bar under the sports stadium in the city.

The latter we intend to open soon as Red Wings, a working sports bar, with a view to ensuring financial independence and security for us as a group going forward. It's been in the works for a while, will operate under the management of myself and [Bad username or site: clarke @ griffin], and we're looking for a staff.

We'll need bar staff and security for busier periods. We're aiming to create as much opportunity as possible, so if you're interested don't hold back on letting us know. There's no application, no bar work experience necessary, we'll just need to speak with you to figure out suitability and availability. If you're interested in a security position I need to stress that power use is absolutely out of bounds, so experience will be a little more important here.

If any of the more financially established of you can volunteer time or resources while we get this off the ground, that will also be appreciated. Any of you with significant Cooltalk followings, I'd like to talk about collaborating to help us hit the ground running.

Any questions, interest checks, etc, you can get in touch with me here or with Clarke or myself personally via direct message.

I'm pretty new so I get if vetting is going to be stricter, but I worked as a bouncer prior to ending up here.

@clarke.griffin

[strove]

I don't think we're looking to vet anyone.

[rehandle]

That's some pretty on the nose experience.

I'll list you down.

[let us not speak of the fact that peter is probably the last person anyone would want to serve them drinks. he's jobless and marcos' generosity and pocketbook can only go so far, so...]

@clarke.griffin

[strove]

Was there a Detroit Giants?

[rehandle]

[ Everyone's a critic!!! ]

No, but your job will be if you don't want it.

@daisy.johnson

[evite]

i don't think i'm qualified for food service.

[ imagine daisy as a bartender. ]

can i buy a booth that no one's allowed to sit in as my investment?

@clarke.griffin

[strove]

Maybe you can pay rent on it?

[Constant cash flow.]

[rehandle]

An empty booth won't look great, but a guarantee that we'll clear it out if you're coming in for a monthly VIP fee could work.

[ building on both, thanks Daisy thanks Clarke ]

is this a profound love of detroit or is there something else to that name

@clarke.griffin

[strove]

One of our leaders was from Detroit, though he's been gone for a couple months now. We wanted to pay homage to him.

@nill.klein

[culver]

Are you just serving drinks, or will there be food too?

[rehandle]

We can look into serving bar food. Why, are you good with food?

Offer still stands to do the accounting.

[rehandle]

May take you up on it.

i used to be a pretty badass bartender

@clarke.griffin

[strove]

They were a hockey team from Detroit that won a lot of championships.

[Thank you future wikipedia.]

I'll be your best customer, how's that?

( just start a bar tab for him now. )

[rehandle]

We'll take it, if you're going to behave.

I've kept a bar before.
You can keep me on reserve.

@tim.gutterson

[snipedt]

[ Security is more Tim's bag, but after accidentally broadcasting some truly embarrassing warzone flashbacks while drowsing in bed in the safehouse the other day, he isn't sure he's the perfect choice here. But – he's lied about worse to people he knows better, and this is via text, so it's fine. Probably. ]

[rehandle]

Surprisingly, this is closer to what I was expecting.

What kind of a work week are you looking for?

@terrence.ephemera

[requiemshark]

I've done private security before. Be willing to do it again.

[rehandle]

You'll only have drunken sports fans to contend with but if that's enough of a job we'd be happy to have you.

@eugenides.attolis

[kleptocratic]

I can test the alcohol. I'm very good at drinking, everyone says so.

[rehandle]

We don't have an opening for a tester.

[rehandle]

Red is the color we have. It's an homage to a friend of ours.

[nonscriptum]

i've got bartending experience. spent a good stretch of time working in cantinas in south america.

[ Once upon a time, to supplement dry spells between jobs. Ah, the salad days. ]

[rehandle]

Would you be willing to take on a more senior role while others are getting to grips with the job? It'll require you to train them. We'll compensate accordingly.

[ Hello, people keep asking him when they're going to be brought in for training and he's only recently taught himself how to pour a decent beer, please say yes ]

[joujoux]

A sports bar? Has the cleaning-vomit-off-the-side-walk business dried up?

[rehandle]

Yes.

@eugene.hicks

[preseance]

Beg pardon, but is that a medical doctorate?

( the rest is nice an' all, but his attention is really drawn to that one thing for the time bein'. )

[rehandle]

M.D, Ph. D.

private text to strange; @david.washington

[hardwearing]

Do you guys need any more help with security? I see some offers in here already.

private!

[rehandle]

[ oh, private. interesting. ]

We need all the help we can get. I don't think we're going to have the luxury of a quiet life.

On the subject of employment, it seems my particular skills are not in demand in this world. What resources might be available to those in my situation?

[rehandle]

I believe you'll receive a small stipend from Morningstar until you're on your feet. For employment, it's a matter of developing a new skillset or adapting an existing one. You're welcome to try your hand at the bar, or we can take a look at your transferable skills and interests and see how they might suit other job roles available in New Amsterdam.
