so I need a job because my shopping addiction is waaaay beyond this stipend thingy

skills include gymnastics, psychiatry, kicking ass and taking names, finding lost things

I figure I could be a great mercenary or bounty hunter or hitwoman but IDK if those things are actual jobs you can get here

dog walker? bartender? I dunno!

any suggestions are welcome!

I never said anything about greed.
You're projecting.
Gemstones have their value because they're attractive.
You seem the sort who'd find them aesthetically appealing.

[nutbuckets]

yeah that's true, but I haven't had one used against me yet
then again I usually put them away after, gotta be neat and tidy ya know ;)

when works for you? I can show ya anytime

[nutbuckets]

rude!
I'm supposed to be the one pointing out projecting!

they are pretty aesthetically appealing

[nutbuckets]

a venue huh

maybe getting the stuff first would be good then we have the stuff if we need it and we can rent the place with stipends and save up for a down payment
and we can always sell the stuff if it doesn't work out

I could get a second part-time gig I'm sure!

[Gosh, it's nice having someone ask her opinion on things.]

[nutbuckets]

yeah, I get that
I mean it's not how I am but I get it

oh so you're a government agent sorta?
it must be a good government if you're protecting it

[nutbuckets]

[Rude! She's gonna be calling him Milton again soon.]

nah, a tethering ceremony service thingy

[solartrauma]

[He already expects that to come up again.]

A ceremony? Like a ritual. So tethering is just picking random people to be your amica.

[nutbuckets]

what's an amica?

[solartrauma]

Your best friend forever.

[Had he been talking this would have been in the most deadpan and sardonic tone ever.]

[nutbuckets]

awww, cute
do you got one?

[She totally missed the sarcasm there. If she knew who she was talking to, it would've been clear as day.]

[solartrauma]

[...does Bob count in this question?]

No. I don't need one. Do you?

[tech_nically]

Always good practice to clean up after yourself.

If you're able to now, I can come meet you wherever is easiest.

[tarisian_cathar]

Of course - our powers derive from life. It would be hypocritical of us to not try to preserve it. And in any event, we must avoid unnecessary acts of harm to avoid falling to the Dark Side - but that's a complicated story for another day.

And in a way, I suppose. We work hand in hand, certainly. And while it has its flaws, it is at least a democracy, and attempting to improve the worlds under its care.

[nutbuckets]

[Probably not.]

I would like one!
and we all need a tether here or we get sick

do you wanna do a quick action thread here?

[nutbuckets]

seems smart too considering the whole enemies using weapons against you thing

I ain't got no plans, where are you?

[nutbuckets]

so the force is kinda like life huh?
that's interesting

I'd like to hear that story though!

sounds like a good government, as much as ANY government is good

Sure!

[tech_nically]

My quarters in Central Command. Where shall I find you?

[nutbuckets]

I'm in my quarters too! let's meet in the lobby, lotsa room there

[tech_nically]

Convenient. All right, I'll meet you there.

-> action

[nutbuckets]

[Harley shows up at the lobby a few minutes later, dressed in a onesie with the hood up, having not bothered to change out of her pajamas. She glances around, realizing she should probably have asked for a picture or description of this guy...]

[tech_nically]

[A minor oversight. Tech isn't too worried as he doubts there are many people just hanging out in the lobby looking like they're waiting for someone.

He doesn't take too much longer, arriving a little after Harley. Simply in long-sleeves, pants and a jacket besides, it probably would have been easy to overlook him in a crowd. He's tapping at his tablet even as he steps out into the lobby.]

[solartrauma]

tethering again? you still haven't convinced me about that yet.

[tarisian_cathar]

I will gladly tell you, but it is a bit long-winded for this medium.

And certainly a better choice than that which opposes it.

[nutbuckets]

again?

wait

MILTON?!

[Look, he's literally the only person she's asked to Tether.]

now that I've seen some bad batch episodes...

[nutbuckets]

[The guy who's tapping on a tablet seems like a likely candidate for a nerdy dude who wants to study someone's power, so Harley stands up straight and waves at him, grinning, then jogging over.]

Hey, hey, are you network guy!?
