(Open) Vacancies

[Mhairi Ankaa]

A quick assembly line's made and soon there's enough little sandwiches for everyone. Mhairi piles them high on a tray and brings them out for those who'd decided today was a great day to gather. "There's a few different kinds, hope they're okay."

After setting the tray down the Queen of Fear frowns, quickly making sure everyone's gotten a drink, and a snack, before she nods to herself.

Fell-flames flicker at the mirrorskin, as a drippy fingered hand picks up her own sandwich triangle, "I used to be a maid at a no-tell-motel. So yes, Alexander your job's impressive." she says with a smile.

She nibbles, nodding along as the other spoke. An interesting window into who they were...if the Dread Queen wasn't an Elemental.

[Artemis]

Art saw sandwiches. Nose twitching he gently stole one and tried it.

"I was out for some time." The bunny let the words fall like crumbs from his mouth. The sandwiches were good. He reached for another. "I was taken in 1984. World's changed a lot since then. So has the environmental movement... So I don't exactly fit anymore. And I was in a different country."

He couldn't say much more as he filled his mouth.

[Morgan Bellanar]

Artemis was...a pan handler then? And he seemed to have other problems too. Morgan looked up from sandwich cutting, "1984? Wow Mr...uh, Bunny heh whose name I nay ken," no one had said Artemis's name since Morgan had arrived, "Oh, Imma Morgan tis grand to meet ye! But, uh, if ye art seeking work I ken lots of heh folks and could easily send courier jobs thine way. Not to stereotype us Beasts, just in case ye art athletic in thine interests, heh. I didn't need ID to heh start the job at all." He was a bunny and thos animals were known for speed after all. Or for being cute and leaving candy, so Morgan shrugged it off.

She went back to cutting as she kept talking. She grinned at Lucian's remark, "Tis great excercise! Personally I likes running rooftops for joy 'lo sometimes the bicycle tis more efficient. Safe too, well Imma traceur so roofs tis mostly safe for me, heh. Job though I hath nary trouble with a client, uh, heh here," The worst trouble she'd ever had was back in Chicago but that job had involved Yakuza. In Sacramento the most trouble she had had with (literally) running jobs had come from canines.

As for the revelation of Mhairi's maid job, even Morgan could get what a no tell motel meant. She did have to ask: "Mhairi? Did they make ye don a maid outfit? Or just a name tag?"

[Mhairi Ankaa]

She's all smiles and good cheer.

Though her Elementalisum makes it very, very hard for her to realize that the Mirrorskin would find this..odd.

"Thanka." she chirps with a smile, "I literally, just threw them together. You all saw that."

Brow furrows as Mhairi imagines just what the Spring did for cash. And what a politician could use as blackmail. Suddenly it dawned on her and her moonlit glow, flushed a bright pink before she could bring it back under control.

A laugh. "Allegedly." then to Morgan, her nose crinkling up remembering the shoes. "Yeah, I had a uniform. The horrible itchy polyester one with horrible white low heeled, squared toed shoes. Ugh."

Listening to Artemis she nods, completely understanding that sort of displacement. She'd missed twenty years between when she was Taken and when she was Evicted.

"Artemis, Morgan." Mhairi offers her Paladin a soft smile as she gives the raccoon the bunny's name.

[Morgan Bellanar]

"Oh, heh sorry Mhairi. Good shoes art most important methinks. Thine new occupation tis a vast improvement!" She smiled at her queen with honest support.

Morgan nodded in answer to the question from Lucian, "Rooftops tis the most calming and fun for me heh. But it doth also work for alleys, crowds, junkyards, heh, and aught else for obstacles. It doth take much time to master it tis true," she nodded grimly, "but it hath saved my life in and out of the Thorns, heh." After a moment she grimaced before quietly admitting, "Lo I suppose most folks nary heh hang upside from rooftops to relax as I am wont to do, heh heh." she shrugged and laughed it off at the end.

Morgan quirked an eyebrow at Alexander's questioning her culinary abilities. She slowly shook her head, confused as she spoke, "Nooo, I hath nary trained in cooking. Twas once an athlete, I think, but nary hath a thing to do with knives a'fore coming heh here. All I ken of blades I learned heh here to better safeguard mine friends and the Freehold heh heh." It was true, she'd picked up the skills with blades after the death of the Four Seasons hotel.

It had seemed a natural option for her, given her athletic skills, to rely upon a plethora of thrown blades instead of training as a total novice in something else. Work with what you got.

"Well met Artemis, I...huh?" Morgan's ear twitched, her eyes darting to the back door. She though she heard something. It sounded like a tiny voice shouting sci...uh oh. "My pardon Mhairi and folks, heh, but there tis aught I must check in the uh shed. Yeah back there heh no need for aid," she cast a "this is troublesome" look to Mhairi before giving her queen a reassuring grin, "Totally hath under control, no worries, heh."

And then she darted off outside to the back yard to check her concerns. And address them in the shed.

Morgan exits the scene and probably the venue, she is retiring. Thank you folks for the fun!

[Mhairi Ankaa]

Mhairi laughs, the Thorns would always be worse, but it was nice to hear another who truly understood her shoe-pain.

Nibbling on another triangle Mhairi watches Lucian and Alexander seemingly cement their partnership. Which, might lead to a few interesting stories.

Mhairi hears the voice the same time as the steepscrambler, and groans. "Thanks Morgan for dealing with...uh-nothing. I needed a brake from...nothing." an obvious lie, but it looked like it was a secret to Autumn.

"So!" Mhairi chirps, the stalls. "...uh. Do any of you have any more conversation topics?" Mhairi to bring her mind off Erich Zahn and his Science! but she just couldn't'. It was a wonder that no one else in the 'hold knew of their strange attic resident.

Sorry for the hold up, didn't know if Yumyumcrow wanted to get the last couple posts out for Artemis or not!
