 [Seems Cheryl's spent enough time in ye olde Boston to have gotten used to the place-- she seems relatively calmer than she was in her first post, at least on the outside. She's been laying low for a while, adjusting and possibly exploring the place; you may or may not have caught a brief glimpse of her on outings around the city, but nothing

Not really any of your business what I've been doing... But sure, let's go with that! I've been doing absolutely nothing! [There's an awful lot of smugness in her voice here; she's lying-- joking, really. She levels out her voice again to a more serious tone:]

I just think it might be easier to just ask people what they think of the jobs they've found before I go jumping into one. Recommendations to check out myself, ya know? It'd narrow things down a bit. Besides, the school's looking pretty tempting.

[Any trace of smugness leaves her voice. Instead, you can practically hear the annoyed eye-rolling in her voice. Manners? What are those? Geez, Heather, this is why you have no friends.] Well then. Thanks for the advice.

[She is about to simply cut off their conversation there, and there is a brief silence, until she gives a resigned sigh.] Alright, look. I'm sorry, okay? ... No, I haven't been the most productive person in the world. [She has been exploring, searching for weapons and such, but her excursions weren't exactly fruitful, and in fact unproductive in the long run. She is aware of this.] Getting a job wasn't really something I thought about much. I'm more into the whole "finding an escape" route. Asking people about this is my attempt at turning things around, I guess. [She clearly isn't very good at it.]

[ :D ]

School, huh? I've never been to one. Too much sitting around for me!

[ video ]

[goddidntmakeit]

[She almost laughs.]
Never, huh? Hah, if only I could've stopped going to school because there was too much sitting around... Makes sense to me, but not to my dad. Heh...

[She leans forward slightly, head tilted curiously.] They just... didn't have one where you're from? Where I'm from, it's against the law not to go. [She says this as if it's some sort of horrible fact-- an unbelievable torture.]

[ if he still had his tail, it'd be wagging now. ] Well, Green Hill's pretty wide open! And I mean, probably kids go to school... [ Thinks about it. ] I never did, though. And I pretty much raised my kid bro. [ aw tails ]

[goddidntmakeit]

[Green Hill? Tell me, Sonic. Is it silent...? She raises an eyebrow with a grin.] Heh... Kid bro, huh? Guess even a life without school can't be all free of stress. [If her memory serves her correctly, in the Sonic games she played, there was that two-tailed fox popping up every now and then. Does she suspect this is the "kid bro" Sonic is talking about? Of course she does.]

... Wait, exactly how old are you, anyway? [She looks him over.] I mean, you're human now... and you don't look that old.

[fieldofpromises]

I'm not really one for jobs like this either... it's nothing that I'm exactly used to back home...

I guess I'm not so helpful, huh?

[goddidntmakeit]

[She sighs, but then laughs lightly.]
Nah, it's alright. At least I'm not the only one unemployed.

Hey, no worries! We'll figure this stuff out somehow. [She pauses thoughtfully.]
Weeellll... I did a lot of part-time work back home, but this place seems like it needs more radiation cleaners and mad scientists than it needs waitresses and cashiers.

... What was it that you did back home? [It seems like a good place to start. Plus, it might be more helpful to have a buddy to search for jobs with. She asked for help, she might as well offer her own help if she can.]

[fieldofpromises]

Weell, it's... sort of hard to explain. [ what was she going to say, that she was in a sort-of terrorist group?]

It wasn't really a real job. I guess you could think of it as charity!

[goddidntmakeit]

Hm. Don't tell me you saved the world too. [M-mostly a joke, but she has met some people here that claimed to have saved their worlds.]

[voice!]

[holyfight]

I'm not really sure about starting school here... I mean, is that really safe? What if it's in one of those rickety old buildings that looks like it's about to fall down?

Also, it's been kind of fun not having to go...

I think we're going to move in with an older man named Jim Raynor-san, though. Him and Kurosaki-kun were looking for a house for us, last I heard...

[voice!]

[goddidntmakeit]

Eh, well... Is anything really safe around here? I mean... Either we go to school and risk the building falling in on us, as well as brainwashing, or we go and work in the radiation hell around the city and get heckled by every passing "Norm", or whatever they call them. Damned if ya do, damned if ya don't.

... Huh. You guys are pretty lucky. Hard to believe, but my girlish charm hasn't really gotten me into any hearts around this place. Heh. [Unemployed, teenaged, and lacking in allies. She's always been pretty independent, but this might prove to be dangerous.]

[voice!]

[holyfight]

Eh heh, good point - almost everything looks like it's about to fall down now. That's not all the work we can do, though, right? I mean, they still need cooks and shop keepers and cleaners, don't they?

Yeah. I don't think many people woke up with people they already knew here. We are pretty lucky. Is there no one here that you knew back home?

[voice!]

[goddidntmakeit]

Heh, well... I'm hoping so. It's just that this place looks like it needs more... I dunno, mad scientists and radiation specialists than menial jobs like that. But I still haven't checked the job market out much...

Nope. Just me. I mean, I was always kinda a lone wolf back home anyway, but you know... wouldn't hurt to have at least one buddy. [And that's... essentially all she had back home. One friend.]

[voice]

[keybladesurfing]

School is...you'd want to go back to school?

[voice]

[goddidntmakeit]

Hell no! [She laughs just slightly.]
I'm just sayin' that going back to school'd probably be a better bet than risking the oh-so-promising jobs I've seen so far. I mean... studying may be painful, but it won't kill me. Radiation, on the other hand...

[voice]

[keybladesurfing]

I think my friend signed us up for jobs already. [Says with a laugh.]

But I never really had to go to school before...
