[A small cry of shock can be heard.]

I-it zapped me! That's the first time it's done that; clearly, I have not been fulfilling the scientists' arbitrary communication requirements. There's not much to say, in all honesty. I know there's been...dangerous events occurring lately, but I'm quite content to stay here

Cut yer ha'r?

[notmanaging]

[She immediately fingers the ends of her hair, even though she knows he can't see her.]

Y-yes, I did. I was hoping to provide the same service to others, but...not many seemed interested at the time.

[rules_the_north]

't 's yer job 't home?

[notmanaging]

...Not quite. I was employed in the entertainment industry.

[rules_the_north]

["Being employed in the entertainment industry" ...in his time that either means 1)dancer 2)singer or 3)...well, you usually need a bed for that. 3) often comes with one of the other two.

Thus, he's taken aback. A bit at least.] 's th't so.

[notmanaging]

[Luckily, Adrian decides to clarify with some additional information!]

Yes. I was a manager for a live action star...you probably won't have heard of him. [And quite honestly, she doesn't want to think about him.]

[rules_the_north]

...'m not from yer t'me. [Or in other words: That just made no sense.]

[notmanaging]

Oh! I'm sorry! I guess it's...foolish of me to make the assumption that everyone's from the same era or even the same world that I was. Do you have...actors?

[rules_the_north]

'n th' opera and some travell'ng ones.

[notmanaging]

Well, it was kind of like that. I helped one of our actors manage his professional affairs.

[rules_the_north]

Wh' y'?

[notmanaging]

...It was a job. Nothing more.

[rules_the_north]

Yer f'male.

[notmanaging]

...So?

[rules_the_north]

's usually done b' a male.

[notmanaging]

Not where I came from. We have equal opportunity employment.
