[ After the murmurs of job opportunities began to mix through the idle chit chat of the refugees, Ann wanted to get a few questions out to the people who may or may not have already started work. ]

Soooo... this whole jobs thing...
It's not as easy as it seems, right? I know we're suppose to work our asses off to make sure they keep the people in Thesa safe, but — has anyone had experience working with something like... that? Guards, scholars, and uh... adult workers.... It all sounds like some weird characters from a fantasy novel or something. Cliche, but given the past few weeks? Totally legit.

I guess I'm wanting to ask: how are you knowing you're a good "fit" for one of these jobs? Back home, I was...

[ She wants to say model, but she doesn't really give the deets too much. ]

Let's just say the closest I got to any of these kind of jobs were reading Shakespeare in school.

If you know of any normal jobs or have any pointers on talking with the recruiters, let me know!!! My skills include fashion, picking good places to eat, and persevering through unlikely circumstances! o(^▽^)o

[ You better not smirk because Rin can hear it!!! ]

Perhaps this way a bad idea. It sounds like you're having far too much fun over there.

[burglarize]

I promise I'm not! I'm actually pretty stressed?!

[jewelling]

Addressing someone by their given name is not at all stressful, Ann.

[burglarize]

Okay, Rin, but the stress from job hunting carries over. Or something.

[ Grrrrr. ]

[jewelling]

[ ...she knew that. ]

Oh. We were talking about that, weren't we? You shouldn't be. Just wait until something pings to you the most. That's what I'm doing.

[ because her dumbass mun didn't decide yet. oops. ]

[burglarize]

[ look, these girls are flustered and these muns are dumb ]

What would ping me the most is going back to school so I don't have to work! Grades I can kind of skim by but — [ waves hands at playing recon. ] this is all weird. I don't want to let my friends down by choosing something lame and unhelpful.

[jewelling]

[ Wow, Ann. You want to attend school, but refuses to put both her heart and soul in the work? Rin's reading you so hard right now. ]

You're also letting your friends down by holding back.

[burglarize]

[ Her face scrunches up at Rin's bluntness. Usually she's the one giving that. ]

So what would you do if you're like some fish out of water?

[ Really, she wants to hear this one. ]

[jewelling]

Simple. Pretend I'm not some fish out of water.

[burglarize]

You kinda can't just pretend for that to go away.

[ She says with a huff in her voice. ]

If it's easy, how would you do it?

[jewelling]

[ You're underestimating Rin, Ann. ]

Jeez! Use your head a little. [ she sighs in disbelief. ]

I wouldn't wait for things to be handed to me and if I see an opportunity, I'm going to seize it without question. In this case, I would say being proactive is everyone's best bet.

[burglarize]

I wasn't — hey! Don't think I'm like some rich kid without any problems of my own! I'm not here with a silver spoon in my mouth —

[ ann your parents were rich and you're a model. shut the fuck up omgggg ]

Fine. Come with me to the station and program one of those VR training things with me. You can supervise it.
