I'm not entirely sure where to look for a job, so if this isn't the right way, let me know. I will look through the shops tomorrow, but I thought I might try this way first.

I really would like a job! I was used to having one back home. Cleaning and cooking are the skills I'm good at. Back home I was working with a cleaning crew, so I have experience, too! If anyone knows of anyone hiring for such a job, or anything similar, please let me know.

Even if it's really different, though, I'll still try it!

And, again, if this is the wrong way to look, I'm sorry, and I'll do it the right way from now on. [A quick bow of apology, in case it's needed.]

[Action for housemates;]

[Speaking of cleaning, Tohru's been looking for cleaning supplies and trying her best to clean around the place she shares with Jinora and Korra, without being intrusive. Maybe she should've asked to do this, first? Also, is that lunch she's prepared out on the table? Yes, yes it is.]

Cleaning crew as in 'maid service'?

[riceballfruit]

Yes! Kind of like that. We didn't get to wear cute dresses, though. Proper uniforms, since we got a little dirty.

[valentineluke]

'Little dirty' from doing what exactly.

[riceballfruit]

...from cleaning. Offices get dusty!

[valentineluke]

Thought your work might entail private homes, hence why the question.

You should try visiting the Underground.

I'm sure a precious dumpling like you will find all sorts of pleasant occupations.

[riceballfruit]

I haven't heard of the Underground, yet.

Where is that?

It's a wonderful and magical place. Full of the kindest sorts of people.

[riceballfruit]

Thank you, Mister Decempus! You're always so helpful.

[worldofourown]

My pleasure.

Are you settling in well? Making friends?

[indecent_butterfly]

There is almost certain to be someone in the market for such skills.

[riceballfruit]

I hope so!

Do the questions I'm receiving mean this way of asking is okay to use?

[indecent_butterfly]

Of course it is. How better to find the answer to a question than to ask the City at large?

[riceballfruit]

I wasn't really certain. Maybe there's a newspaper.... Most cities have one. Does this one?

[indecent_butterfly]

One does not believe so. Or if so, this One has not heard about it. The device is at least free(ish) to use unlike an ad in a paper and you get an instant reply.

[ He immediately perks up at cleaning and cooking. ]

Ah! Pardon me, but what kind of cooking did you do in the past? I may be able to provide you with a position if you're interested.

[ of course, he may need another stern talking to with his employer. The underground is no place to send a young child! ]

[riceballfruit]

[Another person asking questions! This is working rather well.]

It was just homecooked meals. Nothing fancy! But as I told another gentleman, I'm willing to learn if the job requires more!

[haring_to_go]

[ he waves a hand ] You'll mostly be cooking for the staff. If you can follow a recipe book, I'm sure you'll do just fine. Do you think you could prepare a sample?

[ Liam's quite willing to risk food poisoning for the sake of them all! Although, with luck, it certainly won't come down to that. ]

actoin? When we get to that?

[riceballfruit]

Yes! Of course.

Where would you like for me to take a sample?

action? (soon)

[haring_to_go]

Oh, well... [ to ease her into the whole mess or... no. Best to be up front. ]

Ahem, well, I suppose you may as well see where you're about to work, assuming you want the position. Please bring it to [ insert directions ]. Would you like to use the kitchen here?

[It's so strange to walk into a cleaner apartment after a nice (cold) outdoors meditation. And... lunch? That can't be Korra's doing, which means it was either Tohru or housekeeping fairies. Jinora would guess former.]

Tohru?

action;

[anatural]

[Definitely not Korra's doing, though she's certainly enjoying it. She's already digging in. ]

Hey Jinora.

[Calling out to Tohru] Tohru, this is great! Thank you.

action;

[riceballfruit]

[Tohru is a housekeeping fairy.]

Ah! Yes, Jinora? [She peeks around a wall at hearing her name. Brilliant smile, handkerchief holding back her hair, cleaning rag in one hand. Even the dishes she used to make lunch are already washed.]

You're welcome, Korra! If you're both ready, I'll join you for lunch!

action;

[bookbending]

Hey, Korra. [Which is immediately followed by a very Tenzin-esque look of mild disapproval when the Avatar digs in. Manners!]

Oh--nothing! Thank you... this must've taken forever.

[Jinora takes a seat and waits for Tohru to follow suit before going for food.]

action;

[anatural]

[What? She's a hungry girl.

Korra grins at Tohru as she sits down.]

Where'd you learn to cook like this?
