1st Howl Video (action for flatmates)

[ Brigid has spent a lot of time acclimating herself to the new sounds and smells of the area. She's also not sure what's going to happen. She's never been completely without an Alpha and it terrifies her.

However, when the camera focuses on her, she's got her hair back in a braid with curly pieces escaping to curl around her face. She looks composed and with it. Such a lie. ]

Good morning. I have a few questions if anyone would be willing to answer them.

[ Her fingers toy with her crucifix. ]

Firstly, I'm looking for work. I've a PhD in Irish and Celtic studies from Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. I speak Irish fluently, and can translate Latin. If teaching positions aren't available, could someone direct me to something in the secretarial field? I've done work like that and worked as a TA during my post-graduate studies.

I was told that perhaps Stark Industries or Wayne Enterprises would be looking for someone.

Secondly, I wish to learn the local language. Could someone perhaps teach me, or direct me to someone who can?

Thank you, very much.

If you're into translation work, there's a guy who's trying to start a newspaper, and the folks that the locals brought here speak about fifty different languages. I can't really blame you if that sounds too boring, though.

[bostonhowler]

I'd love to do more translation work. I spent most of the last three years translating things.

Who might the gentleman be?

[royalguard_style]

Is that so? You're kinda weird.

Anyway, don't know, I wasn't exactly paying attention. His name sounded French though. It should be pretty easy to find the guy, since he just put out something last week. Just scroll past all of the new arrivals and complaints about the guy in charge.

[ Brigid smiles slightly. ]

You aren't the first to say so. I'll look through, thank you very much... I'm sorry, I don't know your name.

[The man in the video has an impassive expression but his head is tilted curiously. He speaks in Irish. It's definitely recognisable for the modern speaker, but there's a turn of phrase and accent which is may be slightly foreign (circa late 1400s). That being said, there are a lot of modern words too. Basically, it's like a merging of old and modern syntax/accent.]

The Welcome Centre has a great many pamphlets for work. However, I may be in need of someone for a combined reception-security position. Are you capable of being firm with others?

[ Her brows pull down as she translates. Her own accent is careful but there's still an occasional nasal vowel, owing to her own Bostonian background. ]

I looked there. They didn't have anything for teachers, unfortunately.

I'm afraid I wouldn't be very good at security. It's not something I have experience with at all.

I see.

[Considering. It would be easiest if he could hire one person for both jobs, but if he can't ... Well, he can't keep asking Skulduggery to keep an eye on the Hotel every three nights. The skeleton is positively bored.]

I am Anton Shudder; I own and run the Midnight Hotel. If you have not been given other offers, I would like to meet you to discuss the possibility of an administration-only position.

[bostonhowler]

No immediate offers, no sir. I'd be interested in meeting to discuss the position if you don't mind. My name is Brigid Finn.

[ Bakura sends along a link to some previous work he's done on it from the writing side of things. There are more fluent people to teach the speech of it, which is not what he focused on, but this may help with the literary side of it. ]

Thank you, this will help a great deal.

You're welcome.

Don't let any of the kedan shopkeepers push you around.

How so?

[There is another possibility here, and Enjolras finds himself reaching out, rather at once.]

I think we may have some translation work coming up. That is...I and some others are establishing a paper for foreigners. Translations are extremely welcome. Or anything else, if you would like it, as I build a staff.

[And then he realizes he has not introduced himself. That may be something of a problem.]

I ah...my name is Enjolras, Madame. And welcome to the turtle as well.

[bostonhowler]

Please call me Brigid.

I wouldn't mind doing the translation work. Either Irish or Latin. If you have some secretarial work, I wouldn't mind that either. I... do not like being idle.

Video:

[solo_patria]

That would be wonderful. The secretarial things along with the language translation. We've conducted a poll right now to determine the languages most in need of a printed copy of the paper, and the consoles seem to do a decent enough job of translating most others. I will admit I am not quite...adept...with that technology as I ought to be.

Video:

[bostonhowler]

I was linked to a translation or the beginnings of one for the local language which will help some, I'm sure.

You're not familiar with the technology?

[ She's spent a lot of time with technology. ]

[looksfine]

[Neither the list of qualifications nor the discussions of language interested her much. Even without the local translation abilities, Aya's systems were programmed to translate and understand every known tongue in Guardian Space.]

[It was the mentioning of the two companies, however, that did. While she was hardly CEO of either, Aya had long since established her presence in the science units of both.]

Do you have a preference regarding your company of employment?

video

[bostonhowler]

Unfortunately, I haven't had time to do the in-depth research such a preference would require, no. Do you have a recommendation?

video

[looksfine]

As I was given ample opportunities for employment by both former heads, I would be remiss in speaking ill of any one company over the other.

[wrathfulkhan]

I work for Stark Industries doing research. It's a pretty good deal for me. Maybe it'll work for you, too.

video;

[bostonhowler]

It would depend on the type of research for me. I'm not scientific at all, but can put together a translation rather well.

video;

[wrathfulkhan]

I'm no scientist either. I've been doing some research on kedan artifacts, and a little translation here and there. [Not much call for translations to and from Mandarin or Mongolian, though.]

[jinzhong]

Whoo! Well, aren't you fancy.

[He doesn't sound disdainful. He sounds...impressed. A PhD? Translating a language only church people and Rome enthusiasts speak? Damn impressive. He's even grinning.]

Careful, you'll make the rest of us feel bad about ourselves.

video;

[bostonhowler]

Fancy? No. Just determined. I've no wish to harm someone else's self-esteem?

[ She's just confused. ]

[jinzhong]

[He waves a hand in a grandiose manner. Impress the chicks, Jackie!] Nah, not like you mean to do that! Just, you know. 's a pretty interesting skillset, that's all.
