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 don't do nicknames.

But you could call me 'Streaker.

[It's what most bots shortened his name to against his wishes.]

[nutbuckets]

[This sounds like a privilege that's being granted to her, and she's not going to say no.]

alright then 'streaker
how are you doing anyway?
it's been AGES
we should hang out

[solartrauma]

i'm training. like we all should be doing.

the next mission should be soon.

[nutbuckets]

what are you even training?! you don't have muscles right?

[tarisian_cathar]

Maybe I want you too, as well.

[She's enjoying talking to Harley enough that she doesn't realize until she's hit send on the message - and then she panics. Because she hadn't expected to get...flirtatious. And she's done so little of it, and it's been so long, and she doesn't want to scare Harley off and...well. Suffice to say she's suddenly very nervous.]

[tech_nically]

[Given he's not even really sure where she's digging around, watching is something of a fascinating if not weird thing. He must not have been expecting much by way of results as he's surprised when Harley comes up with so much.]

That is extremely useful. And mind-boggling but I suppose it's not the only thing that doesn't make sense here.

[Tech shrugs and ejects one of the cartridges from a gun, pocketing it so he can pop in one of the newly produced ones into place. He takes several shots with the thing with a faint but satisfied smile.]

Yes, I think they work just fine.

[solartrauma]

they altered my transformation mode. i'm training various forms for use in the missions.

[nutbuckets]

oh really? iiiinnnnnteresting. ;)

[It's been a while for Harley too, since she was flirtatious. She's just trying it out for now, nothing serious, but it's kinda nice to get back out there after the nightmare that was Mister J.]

[nutbuckets]

Yeah. Didn't even know I could do that.

[She says it with a little bit of wonder, shaking her head a bit.]

Well, it's useful anyway, and it means I won't run outta ammo if I find a gun I really like. Ya know?

[She watches as Tech fires off a few shots with the new ammo cartridges and nods thoughtfully.]

Well, you keep 'em and if you need more ammo you just give me a call. I don't got a lot goin' on so I can get 'em to you fast.

[nutbuckets]

transformatio mode? what's that?

[tech_nically]

Quite so. Your ability will give you a definite advantage.

[Tech tucks the extra cartridges into his side pouch, nodding at Harley as he holsters the guns behind him.]

Thank you. I'll do that. If you need anything fixed or might think of any sort of devices you'd like that might be of use, I can try to put something together. It's the least I can do in return.

[tarisian_cathar]

[Oh dear, what does interesting mean? Drawn out like that? Is it reticence, now that it has become a bit serious? Or does it mean something positive? This is suddenly a cryptic puzzle.]

[It takes her a full five minutes to go with her gut instinct.]

Well, you were the one who said they wanted to see me in a dress - I should think head turning was the objective?

[And then she'll just sit, flushed, staring at her device, hoping that wasn't a catastrophically bad move.]

[maskedtyrant]

I think I could negotiate it. ;)

I haven't heard of one being around, [because she hasn't bothered to look] but I wouldn't want to pressure you into doing a job you don't like.
It does kinda sound like a cluster. Either a psychologist's dream or nightmare lol

[solartrauma]

alt-modes are secondary transformations for us beyond our base bipedal modes.

i cannot access it here, but they gave me an alt to my alt.

[nutbuckets]

Yeah! Pretty cool ain't it?

[She brightens visibly at what she considers a compliment.]

Oooh, you're good at all the fancy tech stuff, right. Guess that's all in the name then huh? And uh, lemme think on that. I'm sure I'll come up with somethin' that needs your attention.

[nutbuckets]

[It's true that 'interesting' can mean a lot of things. But in Harley's case it mostly means what it says on the tin - she's interested in what Juhani's intentions are.]

maybe a little bit. ;)

you don't get flirted with a lot do you?

[nutbuckets]

you better! ;)

[She hasn't bothered to check either. The last thing she needs is someone else trying to shrink her head. It's bad enough being in the brain of a psychiatrist without going to see another one.]

yeah I don't think I'm ever going back to that job
I'm a lil too cracked at this point

dream I think
at least for me

[tech_nically]

Well, yes. Just as my brothers' names are Hunter, Crosshair and Wrecker- I'm sure you can guess at what they're good at.

But of course, no need to hurry on that. You have my contact if anything comes to mind.

[tarisian_cathar]

[She relaxes at that response, leaning back.]

If I am honest, I have only ever had one lover and she was very direct about her affections. We sort of skipped over the concept in its entirety.

[nutbuckets]

really? someone who looks like you with an accent like that? wowza.

[tarisian_cathar]

You are kind to put it such. Everywhere else I have been...oh, too fit, too scrawny. Too low in status. Too much at war.

[nutbuckets]

aw shucks
I ain't kind, just honest
you aren't too scrawny or none of those other things

[tarisian_cathar]

Making you only the second to ever find me so.

Still, a very unusual feeling.

[nutbuckets]

that's wild to me
you're so unique lookin and pretty

sorry it's unusual

[tarisian_cathar]

You seem to be working hard to make up for lost time in that regard.
