[This isn't precisely Edward's first choice for employment. It isn't his second or third, either, or even anything that was ever on his radar. Working for a criminal was never something he saw himself doing, even after moving to Gotham. Foolish on his part, perhaps, considering it makes up maybe a good eighty percent of all jobs in the city. It's nearly impossible to work for any place that isn't at least a shell company for some mob boss.
He doesn't even know how he got himself into this situation. Sure, he'd been looking for a new job. He has bills to pay, as well as... other projects he'd like to fund. But getting an interview at a place like this?
And for his specific skillset, too. Even if he knows many places don't exactly have high respect for it. Everyone needs computers to do their work, no one wants to look twice at their code monkeys. This opportunity could be big. Potentially. Maybe.
He isn't convinced.
It's with a certain nervous energy that he finds himself waiting, anyway. Saying no, even for something unlikely to go anywhere, would be suicidal. At least where this individual is concerned. He's not stupid - he'd like to consider himself quite the opposite - so he's at least going in.
...The wait feels agonizing. As if he's casually sitting around while he's lowered into lava. But, just like that, he gets buzzed in, it seems.
