[The newest of the ginger companions is lounging on his bed in the welcome centre. He still has his school uniform on. He's rather inclined not to take it off, after all. It looks like it may be an accidental post until he turns his icey-blue eyes on the camera.]

You know, I believe I dislike this place's timing. I spent years trying to get out of that dreadful school on Earth, and the minute I turn up in this 'City' it tries to send me right back. Very hilarious. My side are positively splitting.

[He finally decides to sit up, throwing his spindly legs over the side of the bed.]


I have been informed that if I want to move out of this 'welcome centre' place, I need to find a job first. I've had quite enough of shared accommodation, thank you. Normally I'd say I'm well shot of jobs as well, but it seems the lesser of two evils.

So. Who's hiring?

[brobeforehos]

Your sides do look positively splintered.

[rudeandginger]

Glad someone here is observant enough.

[brobeforehos]

It must be dangerous.

[rudeandginger]

What can I say. I live dangerously.

[brobeforehos]

I am definitely swooning.

[rudeandginger]

You must have a weak constitution.

Which one are you, then?

[brobeforehos]

Which one what?

[rudeandginger]

You have a name, don't you?

[brobeforehos]

Of course I do.

[rudeandginger]

I've been told it's generally a polite thing to share those. Upon meeting.

[brobeforehos]

It's also generally polite, especially if you're on the search for employment, not to demand. A 'what's your name' would've gone farther than 'which one are you, then'.

[rudeandginger]

Would you like me to start again? Since you feel strongly about it.

[brobeforehos]

Yes, go on.

[brobeforehos]

Hold on.

[brobeforehos]

Your sides do look positively splintered.

[rudeandginger]

[You get an Look for a long time before something in the hard line of his shoulders relaxes. Just a fraction.]

Turlough. What's your name?

[brobeforehos]

[That's the spirit! Life Coach, right here.]

It's Mae, and thank you for asking. [GET IT? HINT?]

[rudeandginger]

Very funny.

[wouldnotkindly]

[Oh hey, it's this guy again.]

I hear the warehouses hire people for manual labor sometimes. [Then again, Jack doubts he's really the type for much physical work...]

[rudeandginger]

Do I look like I'd be useful for manual labour?

[wouldnotkindly]

No, but it's a job that pays.

[rudeandginger]

I'd rather find other options, thank you.

[It doesn't even need to be anything legal, if nothing else turns up. He's done worse.]

[wouldnotkindly]

Beggars can't be choosers, you know.

[rudeandginger]

People do say that, don't they? I've never taken much stock in it myself.

[wouldnotkindly]

[He's not surprised.] Why not?
