[Penny has taken the night off for sanity's sake and, therefore, isn't posting from the Welcome Center. Her surroundings will undoubtedly be recognized as the Blue Light's bar to citizens who have been in the City for some time. It's not a happening night; most of the bar stools are empty and the bartender's busy polishing a glass that's already spotless.]

Sorry for talking business so much, but, with Nyota's help, I've got a list of specific positions that need to be filled at the Welcome Center and the Youth Center.

[She holds up a piece of paper, upon which appears the following:

HELP WANTED!

Are you a people-person? Do you like helping others? Are you knowledgeable about the City's workings? Would you like to make a difference? If so, the WELCOME CENTER is currently looking for service-oriented individuals to fill the following positions:

GREETER

ADDITIONAL: Ideally, the manager will live in a room at the Youth Center (at no cost). If this isn't possible, the managerial position can be split between two individuals.

If interested, please contact Penny at XXX-XXXX!

[These fliers will be posted around the City.]

[She lowers the piece of paper (no, there wasn't enough time to read all of that).]

I have my network device on me pretty much all the time, so feel free to call if you'd like a job or if you have any questions. It's a laid-back work environment and everyone's nice; the salary's about the City's equivalent of minimum wage, but it's for a good cause!

Thanks for your time and I hope you'll at least consider picking up a flier.

[With that lackluster sign-off, Penny turns off her network device and places it on the counter next to her mimosa. She's vaguely melancholy and working her way up to fine brood. It's unusual for her, but she's usually on the clock at the Welcome Center. As far as she's concerned, she's entitled to a little brooding when she's not working.]

[ooc: Your character is quite welcome to bump into Penny at the Blue Light. If your character might have an interest in any of these jobs, we can play that out however you like. This community over here might be useful and is completely open to everyone playing in Poly.]

[Uhura makes her way to the bar when she sees this message. Something seems just a little off about her friend.

It takes her a bit to find the young woman after she grabs her drink. Uhura gives the man sitting next to Penny a look that encourages him to move elsewhere. She slips next to Penny.]

Hey you.

[Penny slides her drink (it's still half-full; she's the worst at drinking) out of the way and gives Uhura a bright and not entirely unforced smile.]

Hey. What's up?

Nothing much. It's been a day for catching up with friends. How are you?

That sounds like a good time, and I'm good. Trying to get my ducks in a row. ...Metaphorical ducks.

What kind of metaphorical ducks are we talking about?

[Jem is quick to respond to this after the previous conversation.]

I would like to take a position as a worker or manager of the Youth Center. I would be happy to stay there, either way so there a spare set of hands available.

I think you're about the right age to stay there, Jem. I don't want to overwork you, though; you already offered to protect everyone.

[Jem smiles,]

I would like to at least help out when they aren't under threat. I am not used to being idle.

Then I don't know how I can say no.

Who else has offered to help?

I know it's been a while, I'm sorry.

Coffee?

Don't be sorry. You have things to do.

That sounds good. When were you thinking?

When are you free, Miss Penny?

Weekends? Evening-ish?

Pick a time and I'll do my darndest to show up.

[Raikov's close by when she makes the post and waits until she's done before he speaks to her. SEXY WAITER MAN.]

You know I'd help out if I wasn't already working.

Hey, you. I was hoping you'd be around.

[He is a sexy waiter. Penny considers herself lucky to know someone so attractive.]

I know.

Oh? Wanted to see your favorite waiter, huh?

[Yes, feed his ego.]

Always. How's it going?

Not too bad. Sort of a slow day.

Have you been served yet?

[Nobori hasn't spoken a word to anyone since his first visit at prison. He has even neglected his usual task of listing the new arrivals for the preceding month, even after regaining his freedom.
He chooses to speak with Penny because she is knowledgeable about the City:]

Madame Penny, I have a question.

Just Penny's fine... Nobori, right? You keep track of who comes and goes?

Ask away. I'll do what I can to answer.

Yes. Incoming only.

Penny, I died on that boat. I was told I can never leave. Am I bound to this City now?

I'm so sorry to hear that, but the truth? No one really knows what happens. When people leave--for good, I mean--we never get to hear what happens to them.

Then, chances are low and hardly understood.

Thank you very much for answering.
