[The sounds of something being chewed can be heard before Catrina hisses at the phone]

Dammit! Why won't you record the inbox message!? Is it even on!? HELLLO!?

[It cuts off with a beep at the end... the phone was working the whole time :<]

Yeah, used to be an opera singer, the prima-donna back home before going into being a traveling bard for a time. Fun shit that was, both of them. [She doesn't blame the Sin on being distracted by the coin, it's Billy Joel, you can't go wrong with a classic bard like that one. Catrina was feeling confident about how the interview was going along.]

[Watching the coin being stopped, Catrina smirked a bit as she answers] Fair, upside, the hammer magnet can still compete in beauty contests still, only had both of his knees knocked out. [Catrina leaves that one be, returning to topic of the potential employment.]

It is, fun as hell to use too. [Catrina smirks as she hears that one] Well, it is Hell, plus had someone back home that was like that too that required my talent for projects like it. [Well that and Catrina was leaving out her little monster Danza who is stewing in their tamagotchi prison, listening, waiting, wanting to commit grand theft once more.]

[This was a good sign to Catrina as she commits the name to memory] I'll be back then to chat with Nanami Kento, I'm looking forward to working the bar.

[Catrina goes to put her listening antenna on as she listens to the deal of working for Greed. What a weird way of saying of joining the family deal, but oh well, whatever floats Greed's boat, she'll gladly take him in as found family on her end. Once the explanation concludes, Catrina is smiling from antenna to antenna] I'm fully on board with that.

[She continues, and the Sin's eyes squint behind his shades. The grin on his face is telling; the coil of it, how it lifts away his lips, exposing the tips of his teeth like wet, clean razors. He takes another pull off the cigarette before setting it aside on the edge of the sink. It's slow, dropping ash, counting away the seconds.]

Don't know about a beauty contest, but let's just say someone I used to know had a way of using one. [As if to illustrate, Greed clamps two of his fingers together to tap against the side of his temple.] Though, it tended to get a little messy.

[An explanation, however - it never comes. And as he drops his hand back against the rim of the sink, the former homunculus guides his claws around the cigarette again, causing the smoke of it to kiss over his knuckles like a ghost in flight.] Ha - ! I'm sure it is. It's a pretty useful talent. [Greed stretches out his legs, looping his ankles loosely in front of him.]

Nanami Kento. [He repeats, his voice purring silk at the back of his throat.] He's the accountant, but don't let him fool you. The man might look like another suit, but there's more to him than that. Just try not to be too offended if he isn't exactly friendly, hmn? He can be a bit of a stiff on a good day.

[Pressing two of his palms behind him, the Sin unwinds his ankles to shove his weight forward on the cuts of his heels.] It's settled, then. Though, keep in mind that it's always going to be your choice, Cat. No regrets. [Greed thumbs at the outline of his pocket. He catches the side of a matchbox with his nail before tossing it out onto the bar. It skids across the counter, smooth and crooked. A final transaction without the need for a signature.]

Tomorrow. [Greed tightens his tongue at the roof of his mouth.] And remember - no regrets.

Oh, yeah, forgot it’d knock out a bit of thinking goop right there [Catrina was morbidly amused by the demonstration, letting loose her ‘nicknames’ for brains..this is mellowed out compared to the others she has under those grody sleeves.] I heard it cleans up easily with diluted hydrogen peroxide or so I’m told anyways.

[A part of Catrina was relieved to not be asked for any explanations, it brings up some pretty…’interesting’ stories from back home. Her hand tail swishes a bit, a sign of being relaxed and at ease] It sure is, works in a pinch whenever I need it to. [Catrina feels very at home right now with this entire interview, cigarettes and all.]

Got it, I’ll be meeting up with Nanami Kento tomorrow then. [The mental picture Catrina was getting from the description is a resting bitch faced accountant that may have done shady things in the past which is absolutely fine by her.] Eh that shit is fine with me, so long he isn’t too quiet, I think I’ll sail on just fine. [Catrina wishes she could purr like that, alas, if she tried, it’d probably sound like she was horking something up instead.]

[Catrina perks up that possum looking head of hers right up, thrilled that she pretty much got the job. Catrina’s tiny sharp teeth glistens when she hears this] I don’t regret things I want, I want this job and I’m getting it, no regrets here. [Catrina accepts the matchbox readily as this is the coolest thing ever, forget signatures!]

Right Boss, I’ll be here tomorrow, I don’t regret anything. [Yep, Catrina is fully sold and on board with this.]

Maybe for most, but you don't need that. Not with me. [The Sin plants one of his elbows into the counter to sag lazily over the bar top. He lets his claws hang from the looseness of his wrist, causing the cigarette to burn listlessly between his fingers. Another wad of ash tumbles off the tip and as it spreads along the surface, it draws out a line. Like that of sand, shifting under a dry, summer sun.]

[Finally, he shoves the butt into an ashtray, grinding it to soot.] But we'll save that for another time. [Greed answers, rubbing the filter with his thumb.] And that's right, Nanami Kento. [How he says the name, though - it isn't so much a purr as it is a rumble. Something deeper, sunken, like a bass strummed low, low, low. The Sin shrinks his grin over his teeth.] Eh, like I said, guy's a bit short usually. Don't take it personally if he sticks strictly to business.

[But then she says the magic words (those sweet, short, magic words), and the former homunculus flicks his glance to her from the frames of his sunglasses. Wanting without regret, taking without hesitation: they're music to his ears. Something that hits directly to that core of his, grazing like a delicate, purposeful touch. The Sin exhales, and the last winks of tobacco cut across the points of his teeth.] None, huh? Ha - ! All right, then. If you say so. I do like that avarice of yours, Cat. [Her name snaps off the forks of his tongue, rattling like the shell of a tumbleweed.] But always keep in mind that working for me is going to be different, huh? Though, if you're sure -

[The former homunculus pushes himself from the counter, and a sheet of thinned, blackened ash twirls up from the tray; its shape similar to that of a dust devil, skirting across the desert.] - once you're done with Kento, come find me. And we'll get you set up.

[With the cigarette gone, he reaches out to extend his hand, forcing all five of his fingers to spread open wide.]

Welcome to the Devil's Nest, kid.

[gimmeeyeballs]

Nice, no hammer needed. That's great to know. [Catrina was being serious for a change, she really was relieved to know Greed didn't need a hammer for playing real life whack a mole. It completely flies pass this blue gremlin's head, she was more focused on the interview and scoring the job.]

[Catrina shifts a bit from her spot, as she pays attention to Greed] Sounds like a plan to me. [Now that Catrina had a name, she was certainly ready to meet up with the fabled Nanami Kento of lore.] Eh, no worries there, I mean look at me, I'm pretty short myself. Who am I to talk about being short? [Catrina...I don't know if you misunderstood that one or if that was a pun..it was probably a pun.]

Absolutely, when I have my mind set on something, I simply must have it. [This was probably one of the many reason why Catrina landed in Hell in the first place. Clearly, this booger is proud of having her avarice being praised like that..yeah Catrina is liking this.] I'm absolutely sure about this one, I want this job and I'm fully on board with this.

Rodger, I'll be right back with you after meeting up with Kento to get things started up. [Yep, Catrina is right now a very motivated little gremlin and was dead set on meeting this Kento person for the job.]

[Catrina grins big time as she accepted the handshake, thankfully she is gloved so no hand rashes are to be had here today.]

Thanks Boss, this is the start of an absolutely gorgeous employment.
