[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.

Only if I can guarantee the same of you. I promise I'm a fast learner!

You can call me Traci. I think I can get the exciting part on my own, so I'll take it as my chance to either relax or try not to look embarrassing.

I like hard work, and I like to think I'm pretty patient.

Good to meet you, Traci. Welcome aboard, in that case.

Glad to be on board.

So uh--- what exactly should I be expecting to do? Aside from fish. [And seeing a cute shirtless guy. Hey, just because she's taken doesn't mean she can't appreciate other people's good looks, even if it'll just be for looking forever.]

[The cute shirtless guy is just the bonus.]

Fish is the main part. The food on the back our great turtle going bad, but the ocean hasn't been affected by the illness. If you want to help sell to different markets, that'd be great, too. With just me, I can only hit one sector at one time. [There's a smirk on his face.] Surprisingly enough, I am only human.

Surprisingly.

I am quite good at haggling, so why not? Besides, if the seafood are as interesting as the rest of the animals I've seen here, then it's an added bonus.

Great. I could use another good salesman on the team. [The team of one and counting, aw yeah.]

[urbanmagic]

I won't disappoint. [And she figures that pretty much seals the deal.] When do I start again?

[insecrets]

Tomorrow seems like a good time to me. [Except for the part where fire will be falling from the sky, oops.]

I might also need a map. Don't think I've been to that section of this place, actually. [And she wonders if it's even nearby, because teleporting might be convenient but she'd rather not abuse it if she could.]

[insecrets]

No problem. I can draw one up for you. [He's no map maker, but it should do.] I can meet up with you and take you there first, too. No worries. I take care of my own. [No point in having lost employees.]

[urbanmagic]

Never could say no to a generous offer. Where should I meet with you?

video;

[insecrets]

How about the edge of the Water Sector? We can walk to the shell from there.

[urbanmagic]

Sounds like a plan. Do I meet you soon-ish or should I wait until you're available?

video;

[insecrets]

How about tomorrow morning, if you're free?

video;

[urbanmagic]

Free as a bird in this place. 9 in the morn?

video;

[insecrets]

Nine works for me.

[urbanmagic]

Then it's a date! See you tomorrow morning.
