Lifestyles of the rich and famous. (Lupin/Isabella interaction)

Lupin is trying his best to look slick for an interview that he gets to be apart of through some miracle involving his teacher and the local news organization SMILE. Lupin Haven't thought too much of SMILE aside from how sinister it sounds. Normally Lupin likes the word smiles and actively tries to make people smile. But the way this business uses the word smile just felt off to Lupin. Lupin gelled his hair hoping that will help him look good.
"Now from what I am told the person interviewing me is somewhere around here. I wonder why the interviewer couldn't do this interview in the building. It's a bit cold out here". Hold up that's a good idea. Lupin tightens his hoodie and starts bouncing on his pogo stick to try and keep warm and hopefully find the interviewer somewhere in the crowd.

Right, street performers. Certainly falls under the umbrella of her job description. Isabella would admit, the idea at first had her excited. That was until she learned the details. It was some kid, not even a legal adult... With a pogo-stick. Perhaps she'd have to dial her expectation for what a street performer was back a notch or two for any future interviews.

still, work was work. So she continued on her way through the crowd, hands tucked in her pockets. If there was one thing the... Tools of the trade for this particular performer did in his favor, was make him stand out. The sight of a head bobbing up and down in a crowd, together with the sound of the spring on the stick, made homing in on him fairly easy. And that was what the blonde did.

"Mr. Topplson?" She would call out to him, after having closed much of the gap between them. Which was easier said than done, given the heightened mobility afforded to the other by his pogo stick.

Oh shit, she's here Lupin thought to himself now feeling a bit nervous, but Lupin still wanting do it pressed onward to his interview. Lupin before coming down off his pogo stick. Lupin did one more big bounce and then proceeded to do three front flips and land without a problem and after doing one more standard bounce so he wouldn't land after such a high bounce and become a cripple as a result. he then proceeded to get off his pogo stick and start walking towards the interviewer Lupin figured the crowd might be a problem so he gestures them to leave with a shooing gesture.

"Sorry folks show's over I have important business to attend to."
Lupin turned his attention to the interviewer trying to grasp what was going through her mind. While Lupin wasn't completely sure it appears to him there is somewhat of a disappointed look on her face but of course that only what Lupin can infer from her looks. Lupin knows while facial expression is an important factor when talking to someone he also knows talking to them is a better course of action then just base judgment.

"Hello nice to meet you, I am Lupin Topplson but you probably already know that. Is there a particular place you want to conduct this interview or are you happy here? anything works for me." Lupin gave a simple smile to try and hide his nerves and not make it obvious to anyone that can think for themselves.
Lupin now appears a lot more relaxed after his pogo stick shenanigans warmed up after the cold weather.

Okay, those tricks certainly caught off guard, maybe she'd been too hasty to make a call just based on the boys use of a pogo stick. She'd stop as he proceeded to shoo away the crowd, before letting out a small whistle as he turned to her. "Impressive moves you got there. Isabella Kristiansen, of SMILE News. He expression shifted to an imressed, and perhaps somewhat amused smile as she pulls her right hand free of her pocket, and extends it to Lupin for a handshake.

"Now, as far as location goes, I usually prefer to sit down. I passed a small cafe just a minute ago. Having the option for some kind of beverages would probably be good for both of us, given how we'll both most likely be talking quite a bit. Is that okay with you?" She tilted her head slighlty, gensturing toward the cafe she mentioned after the handshake.

Lupin liking the sound of the idea agreed with Isabella."Sure that sounds great, that will warm me up for sure, lead the way" Lupin has an excited look on his face he is getting pumped about this interview. Begins to walk towards the direction her head was gesturing towards. While walking Lupin starts to ask Isabella a question trying to engage in a standard conversation with her to pass the time. "Thank you for agreeing to do this interview with me, I just want to ask in advance so I can formulate well thought out answers for this interview, what kind of questions will be asked? Again just want to know so I can give good answers and such."

Lupin begins to shiver a bit in the cold, Lupin thinks to himself why is so cold all of the sudden? Oh well, a mocha will warm me up. Lupin begins to speak again in a talkative tone. "Do you go to cafes often? if so what's your favorite type of drink then? A personal favorite of mine is a good ol Mocha." Lupin then walked up to what he assumed was the cafe to look inside. What he saw was an earthly orange glow and a few tables with some customers who like satisfied with what they have. Lupin can also hear what appears to be classical music. But then realize its just a nearby kid with his headphones way too loud. Then Lupin said softly under his breath. "Ok weird but whatever." Lupin begins to open the cafe door while saying to Isabella, "if this was the cafe you were talking about well then, after you.," Lupin holds the door open for Isabella as he waits for her to come through.

Chatty, wasn't he? She couldn't decide yet if this was a bad thing, though she'd find soon enough if it meant she'd be sifting through his words to get the answers she was after. But for now, she offered him a small smile. It's mostly going to to be questions around your career choice. How you ended there, how it's impacted you, things like that. Also some more personal questions mgiht come up. But I wouldn't worry about taking time, I've been scheduled with a good bit of extra time, and this isn't a broadcasted interview either."

The question of cafes and drinks came up next, something the blonde gave a small chuckle to. "I'd like to more often, but usually it's not a luxury I've the time to enjoy, more often than not I just take my coffee to go. But for interviews like this they're a nice setting. Food and drink tends to make people less nervous, and it's also nice to have something to drink on hand so as to not get a dry throat." She glanced at the kid with the loud headphones from the corner of her eye, but otherwise did not react to that. "As for choice of drink, usually a nice latte. Though I might occasionally try a ristretto if one is available on the menu."

She wouldn't say she necessarily expected him to hold the door open for her, so the show of common decency from someone she only just met was nice. "Thank you Mr. Topplson. Oh, and would you mind if I refer to you by your first name?"

"Sure thing call me Lupin." Lupin was trying to be nice to Isabella, after all, she is going through the effort to make this interview go swimmingly. Lupin might as well go through the effort to make it as pleasant as possible. After Lupin let Isabella he went inside of the cafe himself. Lupin looked around and noticed some empty tables and a counter you know normal cafe stuff and now Lupin is left wondering something important, Is it one of those cafe's that have a waiter come to you or do you need to show up to counter and order.
Lupin begins to ask Isabella something. "Hey I am not sure if it's one of those cafe's where we just wait for a waiter so I am going up to the counter. Do you want me to get ristretto if they got one?

While Lupin is waiting for a response for what coffee Isabella wants Lupin eyes are quickly dotting about trying to figure out where are the best seats in the restaurant. The ones by the windows have a nice view of the outside world while the one next to the painting have those 50's diner seats which Lupin thought were super comfortable. Damn the choice was tough but whatever it really doesn't matter in the end. Lupin wanted to get this interview underway.

She merely offered a nod now that the name question was sorted. It was nice to get inside with how chilly mornings could be, even if the cold honestly didn't bother her that much nowadays. The young man would offer to go up to the counter to get the drinks for them, to which the blonde smiled but gave a subtle shake of her head. "I appreciate the gesture, Lupin, but I'll come up and handle my own purchases. Most of the time I can file stuff like this under work expenses anyways."

That said, she began walking over to the counter, behind which a young girl, probably a Seven Stars student, was standing. Isabella offered a small smile. "A latte, please." As she spoke, Isabella pulled out her wallets, from which she withdrew a credit card, and swiped it throguh the reader. After getting her receipt, and tucking that into her wallet along with the card, she was told it owuld take a moment for the drink to be ready. You go ahead and put in your order, I'll be sitting down and taking out the things I need." Isabella then said, before walking over to the diner seats, starting to extract a few things from her pockets. A notepad, a few different pens, as well as a small handheld audio recorder.

"Ok neat" Lupin seemed quite pleased at the fact he doesn't need to pay for someone else's coffee means he can use some of the money he earnt on himself for a change. Isla bucks really? Lupin does understand that this person on the bill is important and all but really? they just plastered her face all over it and on the different bills, it doesn't even look good on some of them it's her head at different angles. Lupin looked at these bills trying to find one that has someone else's face on it as opposed to the same queen over and over again, surely there are other important people that can go on these bills. This kept going until Isabella got her coffee, a man tapped Lupin on the back and told Lupin that he was holding up the line. Lupin was somewhat startled. "Oh sorry about that mister." Lupin then turned towards the counter and begin to make his order. "Hi I would like one caramel mocha, please." The girl smiled and said coming right up. Lupin then asked "Before I forget can I have a receipt please." the girl then printed out a receipt.

After Lupin got his drink and receipt he made his way to the table Isabella was at. On his way to the table, he was examing the place noticing the fancy lighting and all the shiny ornaments surrounding the place. It looked really gauche to Lupin the place just felt like it was trying to flex on him. Lupin continued on his way to the interview table when he saw a student from the gardening club back at school, he saw Lupin just as Lupin sees him. Oh shit why here Lupin thought to himself. Luckily for Lupin, he was able to walk right past him without hassle, Lupin then sat his butt at the table feeling nice and warm. "Ok I got something to keep me warm I am all set for this interview, ready when you are Ms. Kristiansen Lupin started to drink some of his Mocha. As he waits his first question.
