[The feed turns on to show a shirtless Finnick, hair still damp from an earlier shower. He smiles brightly, leaning back in his chair. Gratuitous chest? You betcha. There's a pause as he pops something that looks like a sugar cube into his mouth.] With more people arriving, I'm sure the strain on food resources is going to become harder for some of us. But the ocean, that's still plentiful and unharmed by Tu Vishan's illness.

For you new people, or even those who have been here a while, I'm Finnick Odair. I have a small fishing business set up. [A pause as he smiles.] Basically what I'm offering here are a couple of job opportunities. I should be able to handle a few employees, if you'd like to earn a little money and food on the side. If you like fishing, or if you'd like to learn, here's your opportunity. [He winks.] Wasting it would be a shame.

[She's sitting in his lounge, looking vaguely disgusted] There aren't even horses here. [Fucking sugar cubes!!]

[insecrets]

[He glances over at her with a grin.] That means more for me, then. [Popping another one into his mouth. Don't ask how he got them.]

You're going to get fat.

[insecrets]

You're hurting my feelings, Katniss. [8c]

[suoxi]

[ Just...let her admire that chest again for a moment. ]

You know, I've never fished before.

[video]

[insecrets]

[Yes good.]

Really? This is something we should fix.

[video]

[suoxi]

I cannot imagine I'd be any good at it, Finnick.

[ honestly. ]

[afirewithfashion]

[Have a look of mild amusement, Finnick. For the most part, Cinna's been so terribly quiet and withdrawn, but for this... yeah, he can make an appearance.]

I'd be happy to make you a shirt if you don't have any.

[So, so mild that he has to be teasing.]

[insecrets]

[He laughs at the joke, pressing a hand over his heart.] What, and deny this wonderful city the chance to see me without one?

[afirewithfashion]

Have they really been denied, though? I'd hate to see you lose your undefinable air of mystery.

[He means abs.]

Well, that's a practical skill I wouldn't mind learning. If you're up for teaching a complete newbie, I'd be all for a job.

[It also solves her money issue and food issue, which are two things she's going to need anyway.]

video;

[insecrets]

I don't mind teaching at all. [He grins at her. As long as she doesn't mind having him for a boss, that is.] There's not a lot to it.

[urbanmagic]

[She works with a talking chimp and dates a guy with an alien bug on his spine. She can definitely handle anything else, as far as she's concerned.] Saying it like that makes it sound so easy, but I appreciate it.

So, how do I go by this application process? I don't need to write a resume, do I?

[alphatar]

If your business needs a boom, I'm game. Besides, I could use the extra juulan. [Actually she needs it pretty badly, but playing it cool because seventeen year old girls do that.] Any perks? [Her face is all about "Please say free fishies.">]

[insecrets]

Perks are, if you catch more than your quota, you get to keep it. [Aw yes. Pulling all the cute girls on this job.] I'll provide the materials you'll need.

[alphatar]

You are not going to regret this Finnick! [Employment fist pump! Yes, she did that in front of her console.] All I need is the ocean and something to put my catches in.

[Korra points at him with a look a used car salesman would die for.]

Consider yourself in the big time markets boss. You should start looking into making a branch in the Metal Sector, people there have money to burn at those sushi restaurants. [That was one of her first mistakes, going there and looking at the prices of the menu expecting reasonable prices.]

[zerotoawesome]

You really can't do anything without flirting, can you? [Because it's been a while since Santo called him out.]

video;

[insecrets]

It has the highest rate of success. [A smirk.] I've missed your rocky face.

video;

[zerotoawesome]

Hey man, that doesn't work on me. [He smirks a little too. He missed your stupid sexy face too.] Well, I can't just show it to you all the time, bro. I gotta make sure you don't take it for granted.

[kvarterskommissarie]

[ It'll take some time to get used to half-naked people displaying themselves like this. It can't hurt to have a secure source of income though, until he gets his feet under him. ]

While I'm not a fisherman, I do have plenty of experience at sea so if there's still room for an apprentice, I would be interested in the position.

video;

[insecrets]

[Don't worry, bro. It's just a Finnick Thing. He usually wears shirts. Usually...]

I have no problems taking on another apprentice. Experience on the water is already a plus in your favor.

[kvarterskommissarie]

Excellent. I've been a ship surgeon for some time now, so perhaps I can be of assistance in other ways as well.

[sophos]

[This must be the dude that tried to take Percy fishing e_e.]

[And like 90% of all that seems unnecessary.]

Sounds like just one opportunity, technically.

video

[insecrets]

[Don't hate, Percy's girlfriend. Don't hate.]

Fishing isn't the only thing that can be done. I could use people who would rather haul the catch in to sell, people who can purchase supplies. That seems like more than one opportunity to me. [He just gives her a charming smile.]

video

[sophos]

[She is completely unfazed by that smile.] You should have mentioned that part beyond just the actual fishing then. [this is probably mostly nitpicking.]
