-- Volkov Automotive

@Dagon Roman hit the button that opened the garage door, his expression carefully neutral. Outside was a tow truck, a shiny Lexus sitting on the bed. The man behind the wheel waved cheerfully, garbled russian coming from his mouth as he tried to speak around the unlit joint in his mouth. Roman merely shook his head and gestured for Sable to come over. "There you go, as soon as he gets the car down you can start. Don't mind Alexei, he's just a crazy old Russian who discovered weed, I put up with him because he's family and I have to. You don't." He grinned and pulled out of box of smokes. "I'll be around the corner, yell if you need anything."
He started to walk away and then called over his shoulder. "The names Roman by the way, have fun!"

@Roman One eyebrow raised, Dagon followed him and waited to see what his assigned task would be. He glanced around at the rest of the shop. It was mostly clean, bright and industrial, nothing like the dingy little shop he used to work at where he learned most of what he knows about mechanics. He kept quiet while he waited to be addressed.

@Dagon Roman nodded, satisfied for the moment. "Why don't you get familiar with the garage.." he was interrupted by the sound of a truck pulling up, which made the man roll his eyes. "Of course-come on, kid. You're up."
He lead the way into the shop, muttering to himself in Russian.

@Roman Sounded simple enough. Dagon could work his way around the basics, he'd had some experience as a temp and working on his own car. "Alright. Fair enough."

@Dagon He nearly groaned, but caught himself just in time. "We're hiring. Just making sure you're not family. I'm not hiring another idiot just because my uncle couldn't keep it in his pants back home." He shrugged and stood up, stretching his arms over his head while he looked at the clock. "Look, I'm not one for interviews, so let me put it like this; there's a car coming in. The lady doesn't know what happened, she claims it stalled on her. Fix it, and I'll consider hiring you."

@Kato "Sable," Dagon ground out, resisting the urge to grit his teeth or clench his fist, but his gaze became harder. He didn't really care that the sign said closed or that he was interrupting this guy's leisure time. He was here because he had some business to take care of. "If you're not hiring, I won't bother hanging around, but you should probably change your sign."

@Dagon Roman's peace and tranquility was shattered by the shout. He grumbled to himself in Russian and cracked open an eye. "The sign next to it says we're closed unless it's an emergency. Is this an emergency?" He was used to people coming in unannounced, but when he put that sign up he figured people would at least call. Or show up when they were open. He opened his other eye, now resigned to the fact he'd have to socialize. "What's your last name, kid?"

@Roman Dagon couldn't stand not having plans for the day, so he took this one to stroll into the large auto shop and give himself something productive to do with his time. He knew someone was here, despite how empty it seemed at the moment, because of the music blaring from some corner.

"Your sign says 'hiring,'" he nearly shouted over the noise to the guy relaxing in the chair behind a desk.

Roman leaned back in his chair, hopping to catch a nap before anyone showed up. It was still morning, so it was only Roman at the shop. His Uncle would show up later, so until then Roman had the place to himself. He kicked his feet up on the desk, and threw an arm over his eyes. The Doors blared from the ty radio in the shop, filtering through the door to the office. At least no one was around to complain about the music being to loud.

@Ivory He nodded his head, walking back towards the shop. "Well you know where to find me ivory," he said grinning before he slipped back into the shop

@Jae-Sun She nodded slowly. Her fater was into cars, he had a whole garage of them. Money wasted on cars that would never be driven. She didn't understand that. The blonde smiles and gave a little wave.. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Ivory. I guess I'll, uh, see you sound."

@Ivory He wiped his hands on a rag and shrugged. "Well it doesn't take that long for you to check it really. But you'd be surprised how dedicated some people get to their cars." He smiled. "No problem, my name's Jae-Sun."

@Jae-Sun She followed him, furiously wiping hair out of her face as the whine whipped around them. She nodded as he talked, leaning over his shoulder to watch. "Once a week? People really dedicate that much time to their cars?" She asked skeptically, noting the mileage she should watch. "And a dipstick, really?" She laughed, biting her lip she tentatively took her keys and went for the driver door. "Uhm, thanks...What was your name again?"

@Ivory Jae-sun hopped over the counter. "Here i'll shownyou really quickly," he said, taking the keys from her hand. Jae-Sun went to the car and popped the hood. "Okay so here's your engine, all your working parts. That," he pointed to a nob, OIL in bold print on the end. "Is your dipstick. All you have to do is pull it out, wipe it off, put it back in, then pull it out again." He demonstrated for her quickly. "Do this once a week, and when the oil looks dark, bring it in to change." He put the dipstick back in place and closed the hood. "Or watch your odometer. Every 3000 miles ish, you should bring her in for a check up."

@Jae-Sun She glanced back a him, lips parted in question. "How do I know when to do that?" She asked sheepishly.

@Ivory "I meant to like, get your oil changed?" He offered as a half question, a goofy grin plastered on his face

@Jae-Sun She laughed, her back to him as she opened the door. "Don't jinx me to have another accident!"

@Ivory "Stop by again," he called as she took her keys and went back about his business of fixing and tinkering.

@Jae-Sun She flushed and glanced away. "Thanks, I guess." Wearily, she looked at her keys before picking them up. "Well, see ya I guess." She turned and headed to get her car.

@Ivory Jae-Sun just laughed, shaking his head as he took te check. "Then don't think about it so much," he replied with a shrug. "Then maybe you won't hit cars at red lights."

@Jae-Sun "You see, it seems like the safer I try to drive, the more problems I cause. I mean, it's only a matter of time before I get pulled over for hazardously safe driving." She shook her head, finishing the check and handing it over.

@Ivory "Ah, basically worked hard to make it pretty." He grinned, shrugging his shoulders. "Make it out to the shop." He turned again, finding the key that belonged to her car, settingit on the counter. "Now, drive safe."

@Jae-Sun "I'm sorry, I hope I don't get you in trouble. And honestly. I have no idea what any of that means, so I'll take your words and dirty face as proof of a job well done." She smiled, pulling out her checkbook. Her large bubbly handwriting filled the check in blue ink. "Who do I make it to?"

@Ivory Laughing, he dropped the papers in front of her and checked on the calender, then chewed his lower lip. "Alright here's the deal. I'll hold on to the check but if it bounces on Thursday i'll be tracking you down for the cash." He smiled, handing her the file. "We did a lot of cosmetic work on your car and we had to replace some other good stuff," he waved his hand casually. "Details details blah blah the grand total came out to about $430."

@Jae-Sun She looked away, laughing and shaking her head. "Aww, that's awfully honest of you." The blonde smiled, twisting her ponytail and then tossing it back over her shoulder. Hopefully she could convince the guy to hold her check. "Thursday. I know it's a little inconvenient, but I'll definitely have the money in there on Thursday. I'd hate to give you a bum check." She offered him a smile.

@Ivory "I don't talk to many girls, I secretly have no game. But my mom insists otherwise," he muttered, flashing a soft grin. Pulling up the file on the old computer then printing it out he he glanced over his shoulder at the girl, brfore reaching under the counter for his button down work shirt and shrugged it on. "Well, rea normally aren't allowed to do that kind of thing.. When's pay day?"

@Jae-Sun Lovely? What was up with all these nicknames. "You talk to every girl like this right? Cliche endearing and a dirty face? You must be quite the ladies man." She joked, averting her eyes at the sign of the guy's torso. She stayed quiet about the car expert thing. It wasn't that, she just hated the thing and didn't bother.

"I'm sorry. And honestly, I wish I could say the same for the other guy's car." Her lips pursed into a pout and she looked around. Ivory pulled her ponytail over her shoulder, running her fingers through it absently. "If I give you a check can you hold it til payday?" She questioned.

@Ivory He raised a brow. "You're in an auto shop lovely, there's no such thing as a 'clean rag.'" Instead, he tugged his shirt off and dabbed at the spot with the clean remains of the shirt. "Ah, not exactly a car expert eh?" He bit his lower lip to fight back a grin and nodded. "I had a hell of a time hunting down parts for that thing." He muttered as he started up the old dinosaur computer to pull up the paper work. "But the damage wasn't too bad. Mostly cosmetic stuff."
