Sooo...

[ It's just Maria again, panning the NV towards her face with slightly less amateurish skill than before. At least she's not plugging at all the buttons this time. By the looks of it, she's sitting in some slightly-run-down cafe somewhere, and the other patrons visible in the background are shooting her dirty looks for her loud public call; naturally, she seems absolutely unaware of them, sighing a little theatrically and running a hand through her wavy brown hair. ]

I've been here for more than a month now! Stuck in Canada for a whole month, yep... And my best friend ain't here, and my boss ain't either, and it's a huuuge drag, you know? 'Cause I don't have anybody smart to ask about this stuff! Well, if they were here, I wouldn't even have this question, but that's not the point, amigos! I'm asking you all because I can't ask Tick or Mr. Luck!

[ a pout. Her usual sunny self might not be immediately visible, but it is immediately visible that she's more frustrated and bored than actually upset. ]

So... So say you used to just be a sort of freelancing girl, right, amigos? You were used to taking jobs wherever you could! But then, all of a sudden, you found this reeeally cool amigo, so you pledged your loyalty to him instead! And it was like that for a year, where you only worked for the one cool guy! But all of a sudden you get teleported to Canada and your super cool boss is gone and you need a job!! That's awful, right? I mean, I need money, but is it really okay to take jobs when I'm supposed to just be working for this one guy? [ her hands clap onto the table, shaking the video feed a little bit. ]

It's not like I want to quit working with Mr. Keith!! No way! It's just that everything's expensive in 2012, amigos! And I don't wanna wash dishes! It's driving me and Murasamia crazy, totally crazy!! What should I do?

But I thought you were gonna be carving your way out in, like, two hours tops! What happened?!

[murasamia]

[ a big frown for you, Haruhi. ] Be quiet! I tried, but some of those guys cheated with magic and then the cops held me for a while!! I'm working on it!

[brigadeleader]

Hah! Told you, amiga!

[the_dead_pool2]

Hola Chicka.

I might suggest bounty hunting to be to your liking.

[murasamia]

Hola, Mr. Deadpool! Of course I know about bounty hunting, amigo! It just seems like a betrayal, you know...

[the_dead_pool2]

Don't see how its a betrayal.

Your boss ain't in this world, so you are kind of your own boss now.

[IF LOOKS COULD KILL.]

I'm just dying with sympathy for you here.

[Why, yes, he's still bitter. Not obvious at all, is it?]

[video]

[murasamia]

[ a tilt of the head at this response... Maria doesn't even recognize him. SORRY KAIJI... at the very least, his burning rage is blatant enough to not fly over her head. ]

What's up with that evil attitude, amigo? You could at least show a little smile for a pretty girl!

[video forever]

[underdogged]

[OUCH. SALT IN THE WOUND.]

You could be an idol and I'd still be pissed at you, lady-!

Knowin' Keith he wouldn't hold it against any of his buttons if they were doin' jobs on the side to make ends meet. That guy is the least Mafia-ish, deep down. [ Ignoring for the moment that Keith's not even here to care so he can complain about his adopted big bro. classy mf right here. ]

[murasamia]

[ she expects nothing less from him than absolute class. ]

Oh, yeah, you know him really well, doncha, Claire? You think he wouldn't mind? Just to pass time until he gets here, you know.

Video

[vinovidivici]

I don't think he'd care... [ Turning his attention to the sub he bought before he started this convo. Then he thinks of something that makes him pause on the verge of biting it and look back at the screen. ] Well, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. The worst he'd do is cut your hair off.

[viraldawn]

And just what is it that you do, my dear?

[voice]

[murasamia]

I cut people up, duh!! -- Uhh, as bodyguard work, I mean! And security work! That kind of thing!

[ smooth ]

[voice]

[viraldawn]

How... charming.

And you were looking for work?

[fidele]

[ Keith...? ]

You cannot take his jobs if he does not give you any. He would understand.

Freelancing is difficult in this city.

text;

[murasamia]

I guess that's true! I just feel kinda guilty!! But whatever, every one is giving that answer so its probably the best one!

It sure is!! It's a real pain amigo

Re: text;

[fidele]

[ Oh. She's a little surprised by the text response at first; so Maria's learnt how to use her NV. Or maybe she's "hiding behind text" as well? ]

What do you use that sword for?

[greenshift]

Hmm, I think Mr Keith should understand if you had to take a job so you could pay for everything you need!

video;

[murasamia]

You think? He doesn't talk that much. I have a hard time telling what he thinks of a lot of stuff, amiga.

[ sadly, Maria doesn't recognize her... ]

video;

[greenshift]

[ she wouldn't normally, but she's only met one person doing the amiga thing, so she can guess ]

Some people are like that! But it'd be unreasonable for him to make you work only for him when you can't do that here.

[tinderfoot]

If he's not here, then what's the big deal?

video;

[murasamia]

Honor, amigo! Honor!! And future job credibility!

[video]

[rapturescreed]

You take any job you can get, no matter who it's from.

[video]

[murasamia]

I can't just take any job, amigo! If I can't use my special skills, I'll get really bored, and then things will get nasty pretty fast, I'm sure!
