♦ ♦ 2nd Contract
[ He's obtained a City Guide. He's established a mapwork of shortcuts in the City. He's done discreet explorations of the Underground. He's found an apartment topside - out of the way enough for privacy. But not so isolated that he's completely cut off. The past few days, he's maintained a pattern. Breakfast at a cafe downstairs at 9:00. A one-hour walk through the City Center. Two hours at the Library, pretend-poring over books. In Xanadu by 12:30, feeding the ducks. ]
[ His reasons are simple. One: if there's anyone from the Syndicate - from his world - here, they can contact him, directly or indirectly. Two: if he's under watch. his dull routine will either bore tails into complacency (and slip-ups), or make him seem so bland they'll eventually leave him alone. ]
[ However, too bland is equally suspicious. ]
[ So he breaks the routine in the most practical manner. ]
Um - hello? Is this thing on?
[ Rustles and fumbling. The feed snaps on to show Hei. Seated by a window. Smiling a touch nervously. ]
I think - I need a job. I don't exactly have my resume at hand. But - I have experience as a cook. Mostly Chinese and Japanese cuisine. I've waited tables and been a custodian a few times too. Oh! And a driver. I'm a little - um, hopeless with computers. But I have good references as an electronics handyman. For wiring and repairs on TVs and stuff.
[ Just the awkwardest pause. ]
Guess that covers everything. [ Except knife-fighting, garroting, and stealth combat. And martial arts. And home-made and electronic bombs. And most forms of high-explosives. And disposing corpses. And a lucrative career in espionage. ] If you're interested, please feel free to get in touch.
[ Innocent smile. ]
[OOC: Yeah, really. The assassin needs a job. Even stone-cold killers gotta eat. ]

What's a car?

A car is - [ A car? ] - It has four wheels. And runs on gas. It transports you places.

[ Sheepish. ]
They probably just have different names where we come from.
[ Something in common! Yay! ]

[She actually sounds excited, still remembering the thrill of riding with Asami as she test drove a new Satomobile.]

[ Does he look like he races? ;;
His alter-ego totally might]Not really. It seems a bit dangerous.

[Seriously, dude. You were almost cool. And you keep blowing it.]

Too much fun could land you in a hospital.

[ Could his life be any duller? ]
video;
So what, you just drive around the streets?

The more boring he seems, the better]Usually I drive clients places. I don't have a car of my own.

He's also played getaway driver during crisis missions. And transporting corpses on occasion]video;

[ Blushing. ]
Do you like to race?

It's amazing! I mean, I've only done it once and I wasn't even driving. I was just riding along but the thrill was incredible!
video;
That does sound interesting. [ Nothing beats an adrenaline rush. Even the oh-so-rational part of his mind concedes to that. ] How fast was this - Satomobile going?
Re: video;
video;
Things like fast cars, big animals - even rollercoasters - just terrify me.

Mine's pretty low. [ Lieeeees. ] I prefer a quiet night in to being out or getting in trouble.

...But what about Polar Bears? I hear they're maneaters.
