Twenty-one ~ Video

[controllingluck]

[The video shows Himawari’s hand drawing back from the NV after turning it on, seated at the Tower Apartment Office in the main Lobby. She is not smiling as normal. She hasn’t really been chipper or smiling for weeks now. The necklace cord sits around her neck still, her hand giving it a small tug before she speaks.]Hello and good evening everyone

[That pretty voice again...]

Hello.. Himawari?

[Fumbling a bit awkwardly with his recorder.]

This is ah.. Will Graham. [The idiot who couldn't get your name right.] Just wanted to say thanks for helping me out a few weeks back. I know it's.. probably just your job and all, from the way you describe.

[He's not one for talking on the phone, in fact he thinks he's talking more to an answering machine.. thus the lack of pausing for response.]

I'm not much of a door-man.. but I-I'd like to come to that workshop. Least I.. maybe could see what you have to put up with.

[Doctor's orders were to make an effort to socialize outside of work and all.]

[Audio]

[controllingluck]

[As bad as her mood was lately because of this charm around her neck... she at least managed to smile as she heard that voice. It did feel like some time since she had heard him. She began to think he had returned home already.]

Mr. Graham. Will. It's very nice to hear your voice again. [There was the smallest of pause as she thought it over. She had actually enjoyed being able to help him.] It's alright. I would have spoke to you if it was my job or not.

Have you been doing alright? I thought you might have been sent home already. Oh, but yes! Please come. I realize some people aren't interested in the job aspect but the information is still very useful.

[Audio]

[eidetic_graham]

Oh.. no, no I just [Had myself committed.]

..Thought I should get some counseling. C-culture shock.

[More like severe mental breakdown.]

Doc just prescribed some extra.. curricular activities. S-so I'm glad I heard your bulletin.

[Audio]

[controllingluck]

Oh my. You did come into port wounded as well. I can't blame you for the culture shock. It's a very big change to have to deal with.

[A doctor hmm? Prescribed extra curricular activities? Must be more then physical, considering he got here back in mid June? Either that of he was much more wounded then she realized. She pondered it over for a moment and said]

You've almost been here for two full months, haven't you? Have you had the chance to explore much? I can give you some more ideas of the area if you need.

[At least she is trying to sound more cheerful then she is. Will was a nice guy after all.]

[sergeantperks]

What kind of hours are there for this? I already have a job, but I'd be interested in helping out when I have time, if that would be useful.

[controllingluck]

All kinds of hours! We have some people who do this job full time and others who volunteer their time when they can. If nothing else, the information could be useful, for when you have time.

[sergeantperks]

[She considers this, and then nods.] I certainly have enough time to volunteer once or twice a week, anyway.

I'm Oliver. [At the moment, and when she's working, anyway.]

[controllingluck]

Wonderful. There are a lot of areas for this job that need to be covered, so even a little bit of time can be awfully helpful.

Nice to hear from you Oliver. I'm Himawari. If you can make it Friday at noon, we'll be meeting in the Tower Apartments lobby.

[stillhaslegs]

I could do with more information on "greeting".

[ He may or may not have accepted the job in an attempt to make sure neither he, nor his friends ended up being homeless. ]

[controllingluck]

Ah, hello again. Please come to the workshop? Or if you can't make it we could meet when you have time. I've got a lot of history on the port and some other things to go over.

[That is a really good reason to take the job--well not a really good one, but it is a fair reason. After all, that was how she got into this line of work also.]

[remembered]

[ Amy has been hitting some road blocks on the job front - or maybe she's not trying hard enough. But this seems like the perfect opportunity, and she's not sure why she didn't think of it sooner. ]

Himawari, hey. Mind if I stop by, and possibly bring a friend with me?

[controllingluck]

[It's really a simple job in the end and a good way to start until one finds a better job! For Himawari... this was the better job]

Hello! You're interested as well? Of course, please come. The more the better, really. I almost didn't think anyone would be interested.

[remembered]

[ And it's probably the closest she'll get to doing something she's familiar with. Plus, if it will help like the Doctor thinks, then she's on board. ]

Yeah, suppose I am. Unless there's some sort of weird catch. You know, a reason why people wouldn't be interested.

video;

[controllingluck]

[Ah yeah, another actual smile is given. Smiles have been lacking as of late, but the fact that people are taking interest is helping her enchanted bad mood]

Besides the fact that there are better paying jobs out there, I don't really think there is much of a catch. I feel we would be better off if more newcomers were involved to begin with. After all, we at least know what it's like to show up suddenly and not know what's going on.

[payingthepiper]

Hello, Miss Himawari. Ah - is there anything we should bring to the lobby, by chance...?

voice.

[controllingluck]

[It's been a while since she heard from this voice!]

Bring? Hmm, I don't think so. I have clip boards for those who wish to take notes, pencils and pens, information pamphlets and other things. If I have access to the meeting hall there will be some snacks and drinks. Otherwise umm... bring yourself? Oh, does this mean you'll be coming as well?

voice.

[payingthepiper]

I think so. I need a new job, and it'd be nice to help out the new arrivals.

How long do you think the meeting will take? Not that I-- want to rush it or anything, but just for an idea- [h-haha.]

voice.

[controllingluck]

I think it's a good job that can be rewarding sometimes. I really look forward to working with you, Allen. I hope it works out for you.

I'm not sure, really. It depends on how many people show up and how many questions we get. I'm just estimating about a hour for those looking for just information and maybe two, give or take, for those looking for employment.
