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!

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

[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]

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

[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]

yeah, I'd rather talk about it in person
I could listen to that accent all day ;)

oof
you got some real bad guys?

[tarisian_cathar]

Another first - nobody has tried flattery on me before. You will turn my head if I am not careful.

But yes, we do, and I will explain it all, soon.

[nutbuckets]

maybe I want to!

alright, I'd like to hear it

[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.]

[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.]

[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.]

[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?

[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.

[nutbuckets]

I just speak my mind is all

[tarisian_cathar]

[And that's why part of her mind keeps saying she should explore those lips, though she hasn't dared give ahead of steam to such thoughts.]

Another of your admirable qualities.

[nutbuckets]

aw juhani you're gonna make me blush!

[tarisian_cathar]

[Also, she is certain, well worth seeing.]

I can manage such, on occasion.
