[OOM: Without really meaning to, Parker finds herself with a second job.]

Parker has her laptop open on a tabletop, experimenting with different blog styles.

The page has a couple of fixed features. The Coiner Gazzette logo in the upper right hand corner. And the blog’s title - Millie Tipp: Practical Advice for a Thoroughly Modern World.(She

"'Practical Advice for a Thoroughly Modern World'?"

Now advice is something Scorpius could use loads of.

He's looking at the screen over Parker's shoulder, an eyebrow raised at the display.

"Millie Tipp, huh?"

He grins. A small grin, but a grin.

Parker straightens her shoulders and gives him a very prim (but for the smile that visibly tugs at the corner of her mouth) look.

"I'll have you know," she says, "you are looking at the new advice columnist for the illustrious Coiner Gazette."

Okay, illustrious may be pushing it. A lot.

The grin breaks through.

"Given how much of the writing I'll probably wind up doing here, Millie seemed only appropriate."

[alsoagreengrass]

"Fairly appropriate, yeah."

His grin widens in response to hers.

"Congratulations on the, er, new job?"

[parkerlee]

"New second job," Parker says. "I'm still working at the ranch. This is....kind of more of a hobby thing."

It may die in three months. No way of knowing, really.

"How's it going, Scorpius?"

"Parker," X says, making her way over to her friend's table.

She's got her Security badge pinned to her belt, at least for the moment.

"You are working?"

[parkerlee]

Parker looks up and grins. "Hey, Laura."

She glances back down at her screen.

"Sort of. I have a new job. Well, a second job. A hobby-type job."

"I'm still getting set up for it."

Millie Tipp hasn't gone live quite yet.

[cutting_edgex23]

X blinks.

Twice.

"I do not understand."

Beat.

"What is a hobby-type job?"

She pronounces that phrase very, very carefully.

[parkerlee]

"A job that pays pretty much nothing and that doesn't require a huge time commitment."

Even with the blog online, Parker's not looking at many hours. Especially with Milliways to write in.

"I'm the new advice columnist for the newspaper in Coiner."
