[ Brigid tucks hair behind her ear, looking at the computer in front of her. ]

While I appreciate the welcome, and the information, I have to say that I am unimpressed with the method by which I was brought.

[ Meaning, she’s a little salty right now. ]

I don’t suppose there is a school I could teach at is there? I can translate four languages, speak two, and have a doctorate in Irish history.

[ She’s hoping there’s some call for her skills somewhere in this place. ]

If not, I also have some skill with Krav Maga and could, potentially, teach that, if there’s some call for it. Basically, I wish to teach. If someone could direct me to a few opportunities, I’d be grateful.

[ She leans forward and cuts off the feed. ]

Well, then we'll have to see. When would you like to meet?

Soon as I can get some floor time. You got any plans?

[bostonhowler]

Just finding a job. I can't live on charity.

Well...I just opened up a bar, and right now it's only me and Leo. I'm still looking for people, I mean, um, if you'd be okay with working at a bar. But you've got a doctorate, so, uh...probably not...

What does having a doctorate have to do with anything? I'd think you'd be more worried because I'd never worked in a bar, and can't, what's the phrase? Sling drinks? To save my life.

I mean...it's kinda like, beneath you, right? Is what I meant. I've never run a bar either, so...

[ Yeah, she's really confused. ]

Work that doesn't go against my principles - and working in a bar doesn't - is not beneath me.

[Jackie blinks, just as confused. His paradigm is completely upside down.]

Sorry. Where I'm from, people lucky to be smart enough to get out wouldn't...do bar work. I didn't mean to, like, offend you or nothin'. But offer's still open, if that's...okay?

[HE IS SO FLUMMOXED]

Where I'm from, good honest work is celebrated, not degraded.

[ She smiles. ]

You didn't offend me. I'll have to think about it? I'm going to be looking into several things.

[jinzhong]

Yeah, well. Wasn't a lot of honest work where I came from...

But yeah, let me know.

Where are you from?

[ Because now, her curiosity is engaged. ]
