New Moon ☽ Text to All ☽ If you could only see

[Outside the station, having been given the rundown, keys to her new crib, and her fancy new phone, Ruby grumbles to herself that they didn't give her a jacket to go with it. She rolls down the sleeves of her overshirt then begins fiddling with the cell phone. Oh, hey. Texting! She totally knows how to do that. And will be faster than calling each

A flying carpet might have been more fun. They don't really tell us how it worked.

[softenedbyme]

They give us apartments, but you can move out if you find somewhere else to live too. You'll need to work...

[whosafraidofme]

That explains the key. Do you know of any diners hiring?

[softenedbyme]

I looked for some hiring when I got here, but I found a bookstore instead. I guess keep your options open?

[Especially if you look normal.]

[whosafraidofme]

Options. Thing is, I'm only good at a few things. My gran runs a diner. I help out. That's...what I'm good at, mostly.

[Probably best she not mention her good sense of smell and hearing.[

[softenedbyme]

That's what I thought too, but the bookstore wasn't really different?

[And now she helps Dr. Magnus with things, and that isn't like being a waitress either.]

[whosafraidofme]

You serve...books instead of burgers.

[Hmmmmmmm.]

It's not....that different. Not really.

[softenedbyme]

I don't work there any more. ...It's a long story. But it really wasn't that different. You'll find something.

[whosafraidofme]

I hope so. Thank you. For your help.

[softenedbyme]

You're welcome. My name's Raven. If you have more questions you can call me.

[whosafraidofme]

Ruby. And I will, if I can think of questions.

I probably will.

[softenedbyme]

We're all in the same situation. I'll answer what I can, when you think of them.
