Another round of potions on me
did you know snape was already the potions teacher when tonks went to hogwarts?
did you know she absolutely had to have done this at least once?

This is the same ongoing campaign as my other submissions, including the haunted dragon. (Though this takes place before that particular fiasco)
We’re in a local inn getting some supplies and resting for the night, and discussing what to do in the morning. One of the items discussed is that we really need to get some cash so that we can stock up on potions (we’re really low on health potions.)
Me, being Helpful, cases the room and then promptly attempts to pickpocket the richest-looking patron in the inn. I roll a 18 for my sleight-of-hand check.
DM; “All right. You successfully lift his coin purse; he doesn’t seem to notice.“
Me. "Fuckin sweet…”
DM; “…the guard drinking three stools over, however, sets down his tankard, points at you, and yells "Hey! You! What do you think you’re doing?!”
Me; “Shit."
I proceed to flub a deception check and get arrested.
DM, to the rest of the party; "So what are you guys doing while this goes down?”
Our fighter; “I sigh, shake my head, and continue eating my dinner.”
Our barbarian; “I find the biggest guy in the place and challenge him to an arm-wrestling competition."
Our paladin; "I figure I’m not lucky enough for this to stick and she’ll be out by morning. So, I pull out my deck of cards and start a game with Delenna (our fighter)."
Our sorcerer; "I go and ask if they have any decent red wines at the bar."
Me; "Man fuck you guys too.”
(I managed to break out of my cell later.)
A great thing you can ask in the "do you have any questions for us?" portion of an interview is: "Is this position open because you are growing as a company or because someone left?" And then you can ask "Why did they leave?" Listen to how the interviewer talks about the person you're replacing—it is a huge indication of the workplace culture and relationships that co-workers develop. If they dismiss the question, that says a lot. If they are excited for that person and their next opportunity, that says a lot. An interview is a two way street and you should get as much information out of them as they do out of you.
Another good thing to ask that sounds like you're trying to be a good fit and not subtly grilling them is 'Why did you choose me for an interview/what was in my resume that made you think I would be suitable here?'
There answer will tell you loads. Did they actually read your resume or was it just scanned through software to look for keywords? Are they actually looking for the best fit for a job or someone to cram into the position because of rapid turnover?
