Good evening.
[ The feed clicks to life to a modestly dressed (that is, modest in means, not necklines) but well-kept young woman, seated in the likely familiar mid-level chaos of refugee housing. The walls are not well-painted, and the quarters a bit close, but it's what they're all dealing with, or have recently, and Max is no exception. ]
Like the rest of you, I am finding myself starting over in this place — finding work, building a life. Given the nature of our presence here, displaced from our homes and our histories, it seems the only base of support many of us may have is each other.
So I wondered if those of you who have found your feet might share — what work have you found yourselves suited to here? How are you making your way in this world? Or how do you plan to, if those plans have not yet come to fruition?
And how does that compare to your ambitions? Is the position your hold now everything you had hoped for, [ unlikely, her tone suggests, but feel free to surprise her, ] or is there more that you would seek to accomplish? Perhaps there are others here who could lend their aid, or whose ambitions might align with your own.
[ Perhaps Max can help. c: ]

[ She's not sure she likes that she can say that, that she has become the sort of person to whom a loss of status is a loss worth feeling at all, compared to the wide variety of other, crueler things the world has to offer, but she does not need to feel it deeply, and she does not need to share the precise depth of her empathy with this person. ]
Do you imagine you could have that sort of life again here? Is there a path you can see back to it, or must you seek something altogether different?

My true loyalties lie with my last employer, but if I could go back to what I used to be doing,
I would. Right now, I'll take any opportunity for extra money I can find though. Bartender work barely makes ends meet.
