So today was the day Shiloh was holding interviews for a roommate at their new place. Instead of buying a mansion, Shiloh bought a condo downtown that was definitely only something someone who was wealthy could buy.

It wasn't that Shiloh couldn't afford a place by themselves, it was more they just preferred having an actual roommate. The condo had a few spare rooms that they decided they could rent out.
Shiloh eventually publicized that they were looking for a roommate which was something a celebrity would probably never do. Shiloh figured making it like some weird "A chance to live with a celebrity" competition was a good publicity stunt.

They had set up a meeting spot for all those who were interested in the lobby of the condo complex and over the past few days had been interviewing people. There was a lot of fans and paparazzi who were obviously not suitable who visited. Shiloh had to hire really good secuirity after a crazed fan incident on the first day.
Now after the third day, The interviews were less of a meet & great and were starting to feel like actual interviews.
Things were going well and they managed to get a few potential canidates but there was no clear winner yet.

Kalvin wrinkled his nose at his first sight of the building. It was certainly more than what he could afford if he still depended on his day job. Not that he was complaining about it. Thankfully, the ad said he was sharing with maybe one more person. Maybe even two, if this "celebrity" wanted more than one roommate.

Normally, Kalvin wouldn't even think about going anywhere near anybody who was always in the spotlight or paparazzi papers. However, he did decide that he was going to try new things in Manta Carlos. If it didn't work out, then he'd look elsewhere--simple as that. Plus, if the person was an actual celebrity on the island, well, then that... really wouldn't spell much difference in how Kalvin would treat them. He heard that most celebrities were difficult to deal with. So maybe he'll be wary of any bad lifestyle choices this one might have. Granted, he's never met any celebrity before so he really had no real basis for his expectations. Also, it would be interesting to see what a celebrity in Manta Carlos is like, given how intense most people on the island are.

So he ran his only hand over his hair and went into the interview area in the lobby when it was his turn.

The person Shiloh was currently interviewing was.....very snobby and pretentious. She was some type of sheep person and was dressed in some high end clothing and was acting in a way as if she had decided she already passsed the interview. She was talking about how Shiloh was going to enjoy her company and how they would hang out and stuff. Shiloh just seemed bored and totally done with her shit but just kept smiling all the same.

"Oh and we could throw a big party right after. I'll invite a few guys and girls over who are definitely DTF and party all n-" The sheep girl was immediatly cut off when Shiloh hit their clipboard down on the table.
"That sounds fun but i'm going to have to decline. I'm holding interviews for a roommate and not for some weird circlejerk of spoiled rich kids whose mommy and daddies pay for everything despite being an adult." They said as they waved to the other two sheep people in the room. "But don't give up hop. I'm sure you can find another celebrity who wouldn't mind taking mommy and daddies money and fucking your ass so you can gain some clout." Shiloh words were defintely relentless and the spoiled rich sheep girl sitting across the table just exploded into noncoherent shouting.
Shiloh just motioned to the guards who were standing by the door to take the girl out with little care to what she was saying.

Once she and her parents were out, the guards let the next person in. Shiloh eyed the man infront of her curiously and picked up their clipboard again. The guy seemed out of place compared to the building and a few other people waiting outside. He just seemed.....normal.
They waited for him to take a seat and smiled as the clicked their pen a few times. "Well hello there. I assume you are here for the roommate interview? Mind telling me your name?"

Even when he'd heard about the "celebrity" from others in the lobby, Kalvin had to admit, he wasn't too surprised about the person behind the desk. He-- or rather she?— certainly had that vibe going for her. He gave a small smile to the horned figure in front of him. "I'm Kalvin Brenato. I go to Starlight Academy. Currently, I'm taking a Biological Science major. I'm already in my 2nd year," he provided. He wondered if it was enough or too much. He'd never had to go through an interview to get a roommate before. Though, with a celebrity roommate, he supposed it was a requirement.

He wondered if he should tell her that he didn't know a thing about her. Did celebrities get offended if people didn't actually know them? It'll be interesting to see how she'd react though, Kalvin thought. That would certainly say something about what she's like and if she's someone he could live with. "Okay, look I gotta be honest," he said, bringing his arms up and showing his palm. "I'm kind of new to the island. I don't know the... pop-culture here. So, I hope you'll forgive me if I have no idea about who you are." He then presented a small smile coupled with a shrug of his shoulders. He'd at least gotten that out of the way.

Shiloh took up their clipboard and started writing down the relevant info that Kalvin was giving them. "Kalvin Brenato, huh." Alright so his name wasn't one Shiloh heard before, which was a good start.
"So you are just some science nerd at the school." They said in remark to when he mentioned what he does. He also actually was going to school and learning something which was also good.

Shiloh glanced up from their clipboard as Kalvin stated he was knew and unfamiliar with the island's pop culture and also who they were. There was a brief, a very brief moment of displeasure on Shiloh's face but it was quickly replaced by a smile. Well Shiloh prefered someone who was at least familiar with them but they could turn this into a good. That just means a lower chance of this guy being some crazy obssessed fan. "A new person, who isn't actually a fan of me. That's honestly great."

Shiloh flipped over to a new page on their clip board and then returned to eyeing Kalvin. "So Kalvin what's you powers like? I'm only asking this because some people have powers that make living with them complicated. Like a werewolf on a full moon or a lust demon with an attraction aura."

Kalvin actually laughed at being called a nerd. Now, that's a first. "I don't think the nerd group is where one would put me in," he said, amused at the thought. "I'm more of a... hm, I guess you could label me as a delinquent type... just a responsible one."

When the girl-- was she even still a girl? Kalvin didn't become so sure once she began talking. Her voice seemed very androgynous-- heard about his lack of familiarity with her,
Kal had barely seen that millisecond of negative reaction. He wasn't sure what it was. Anger? Displeasure? Annoyance? He'd barely had time to process what it was before a smile replaced it so quickly. Well, he did see that coming. Celebrities, he thought flatly.

"Don't worry. I barely even use my powers outside of... certain circumstances. My ability is body-weight control. I can make myself heavier or lighter," he supplied. "Plus, I think I have super strength and super endurance. I mean, I can control my strength well enough." And that was it. He didn't really know yet if he had other abilities just waiting for a trigger. As far as he knew, that was all that he got.

"Now," Kal said, leaning forward a little. "I hope you don't take this the wrong way. I think it's only polite to tell me more about you. I barely know you. If you'll accept me as a roommate at the end of the day, I would like to know what kind of person I'll be living with too." It'll only be fair, right? As far as he knew, this interview worked in his favor to get to know a possible future roommate too.

"Body-weight control? That doesn't sound too bad." While Shiloh was curious about this power, they also didn't want to sit here discussing how someone power works for an hour. They just took up their clipboard and noted it down to ask about it later, if there was a later. Shiloh was fine with information Kal had given them about his powers. It just sounded like he would accidentally break stuff if he got to heavy.

The moment Kal decided to turn the questioning process on Shiloh, it caused them to frown slightly, just slightly. It made sense; It was clear Kal wasn't aware of who Shiloh was and it made sense for him to want to ask these questions. Shiloh couldn't really hold that against him too much.

"Well if you have been paying attention then you should know my name is Shiloh Dubé." There was definitely a bit of pettiness as they spoke. "I am famous for my singing ability. At this moment I currently have three hit songs playing on the radio here." Shiloh would just let that speak for itself. If Kal wanted to know more than that, they simply waited for him to push for me information otherwise they weren't going to say much.

"Are you comfortable living with a celebrity? You do realize if I do choose you; you will definitely be treated a bit like one. If I like you enough." Shiloh then gestured to the guards and then to the door. "Things like having bodyguards and paparazzi might also become a thing for you. Depending on how much people actually get interested in who I choose for a roommate."
