video; un: max
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: ]

[ Byerly shrugs fluidly. ]
Perhaps I might if I weren't so utterly head-over-heels in love with my housemates, but they're such marvelous women. I can't help myself.
no subject
But tell me, where do you come from that is beyond hierarchy? Have men truly grown tired of stepping upon their fellow man?
[ Sounds fake js. ]

[He gets up, seeking out what he originally came looking for, which is to say Byerly and the tea he's making.]
When someone denies you your rights in America, you know they've really put in the time filing the paperwork to do it.
no subject
Heavens. Cruelty is one thing, but bureaucracy? America sounds dreadful.
no subject
The Americas sound somewhat different than last I saw them — but I have seen them, and you know what that means, don't you?
[ She leans conspiratorially in Prior's direction, lack of proximity be damned. ]
That we are both of us from Earth, and we have them outnumbered.
no subject
Why, we're practically sisters. [There's a pause, he looks at her for a second longer than he should, eyes flickering momentarily narrower, then adds.] What do you know.
[With a sidelong look at Byerly, he lifts his hand to the side of his mouth and whispers as loud as speaking.]
Don't talk about the coup while they're in the room.
no subject
Heavens. Surrounded by restive proles. I clearly need to work hard to find myself some Imperial Security men, to save me from you two vicious Terran fashionistas.
