~ Post 002 - The Search Begins! (open)

[ladycroft]

[Lara doesn't want to be here anymore than anyone else -- except, perhaps, for those who are dead where they originated from -- but it is apparent that she needs to get a few things sorted out. She can't stay at the Welcome Centre forever and certainly doesn't want to take up space someone new might need.

In this video, she's smiling, because the alternative is highly unlikely to encourage anyone to assist her. Besides, she's just spent some time pretending to be a pirate. That was fun!]





This seemed like the most prudent way to reach people, so.

My name is Lara Croft and I'm looking for a room or a flat to share while I continue to get my bearings. Also, I gather I need employment. I work as a photo journalist, though I doubt there's much need for that here. Aside from the lack of camera equipment.


[Lara sighs, but presses on.]


Archaeology is a... hobby.


[A quirk of her lips here. Hobby, indeed.]


I also know quite a few languages, if anyone needs something translated, and have fighting skills that could be applied to work in security or some such.


[She laughs a little.]


I don't think I'd be suitable as a domestic, as my priorities don't include dusting and my cooking skills are mostly related to wilderness survival, also known as 'minimal'.


If anyone has any suggestions or openings, do let me know. Ta.


[That last line could be misinterpreted, but it wasn't intended...]

[And it's a very nice smile. Lara smiles in return and gently removes her hand to pick up her tea.]

I will remind you that I'm not currently employed...

[nooniensingh]

Homeless and unemployed. Such a layabout, you are.

[He props his chin on one hand, studying her.]

It's truly not an issue. You have just arrived here, after all. I don't doubt you'll find something very shortly.

[ladycroft]

Yes, I know. Over-qualified, I should think...

[A small sigh.]

Well, I suppose I'll find out soon enough. As long as I'm not being a sponge, John. I'm far too independent for that.

[nooniensingh]

Vastly over-qualified, a condition which I share.

[Modest, too.]

Put that notion out of your head. We're going to explore this place together, correct? Find out what makes it, ahem. Tick. I am not worried about it, nor should you be.

[ladycroft]

[She knows what she's good at and is comfortable and confident in her skin.]

Explore, yes, but... You work at a library, is that correct? As a volunteer, if I recall correctly. Do you have an income?

[Also known as, how do you pay for your current flat?]

[nooniensingh]

I managed to convince the curator to pay me a salary for my efforts. It's modest, but it pays my way.

[ladycroft]

I can tell that you can be very persuasive.

So, where should we begin looking for a place?


[ooc: And, if you like, we can decide and handwavium the search and maybe start a thread of them... moving in? Just throwing that out there...]

[nooniensingh]

I know just the place...

((OOC: I'm all for it!))

[ladycroft]

Indeed?

[ooc: To which part, lol?]

[nooniensingh]

Come. I'll show you.

[He extends a hand out as he rises for her. Let him lead the way, Lara.]

((OOC: Yes to handwaving and a new thread of them just moving in, of course. ;) ))

[ladycroft]

[She sets her cup down and stands before she places her hand in his again.]

Lead the way, John.


[ooc: LOL! Should the thread be an accidental video or something? Ideas?]
