I've been wondering, Scorched.

[ Arthur has been training since before the sun rose: it's visible in the flush across the bridge of his nose, the way his blond bangs are sticking dark to his temples, the slouch of his usually straight-backed posture. But he needs a break, a distraction from his own mind, from the questions that have been plaguing it without concrete answer. ]

Say that the Door started — temporarily — working the way that all doors should, and we could all trip merrily back to our own worlds.

[ A breath, considering whether he's really going to ask. Despite his slightly laconic tone, he knows how depressing some of the answers he'll get will be. But he still wants to know: ]

Would you stay here in Anatole?

Or would you go home?

I believe Ishida Uryuu sews clothing, and Renly Baratheon has an eye and an interest. And there's always a market for replication of whatever people find in Berends.

But what would you like to do?

[ Arthur knows everyone, maybe he should be an employment agent. ]

Ishida's here, too? [ Good god, is everyone from Atia here? ] And I have no idea what Berends is, but I don't do replications.

[ That question, though, is something she's been asking herself for the past few months. She still doesn't have an answer. ] I don't know, honestly. Designing's kinda been my dream for a while and I never really thought I'd need a backup.

Well, all right. The answer should probably be obvious, but are you the manual labour sort?

[ She doesn't look it, but then, Priscilla doesn't look like she can knock down buildings. Some lessons you learn. ]

If you've a green thumb there's the Greenhouses and the markets. If you're good at selling items there are plenty of shops, or you could find someone who makes something and get a stall together. There are charity organizations that try to pay a small salary, such as the Clinic or the soup kitchen. And if you simply need ivories I'm sure the Foxhole could do with waitstaff.

[ That's a lot of options and none of them really sound appealing, but she nods. ] One of those will work, at least for the time being. Not having money for food or a place to live kinda makes the surviving thing a little more difficult.

Honestly, Lady Davis, if I were you I'd join the Police Force or Search and Rescue. Joining the Alliance comes with room and board, and it can be a good intermediary measure. You could ask Riza Hawkeye for some gun training and Buffy Summers for some self-defense. Actually, that mightn't be a half bad idea regardless of where you end up working.

If you need help with anything, let me know.

[ Her nose scrunches a bit at the mention of Buffy before she can stop herself. She wants to give this Buffy a chance, especially since she probably doesn't remember her either, but she can't really help but be irritated just by the thought of her. ]

I'll definitely think about it. I've already got a little gun training experience, too, so that'll probably help if I decide to talk to Riza. [ Which she probably will sooner rather than later, all things considered. ] I definitely appreciate the suggestions, though, even if I've never imagined myself as a cop. Or anything like that.

And you can just call me Brooke, Arthur. I don't mind.
