fandomhigh | Bounty Hunting for Beginners

It was day two of introductions week, so hopefully no one was sick to death of saying who they were yet. Because guess what was happening even in this class!
Din was at the ready for their students to arrive, not showing how uncomfortable this whole thing was making him. You know. As the only one in the duo who had no freakin' clue what he was doing here. "Welcome to the class," he said, glancing over at Faye.

"Hey," Faye called, leaning against the nearest wall or desk or whatever. Just as long as she didn't have to stand up straight. "This is bounty hunting class. If you didn't sign up for it, join the club." Because neither had they! "And stick around, 'cause you might learn something, because we're both experts in the field."

Listen to her talk you up, Din! That was nice of her! (Ignore the fact that Faye was blatantly lying, and she was in no way any kind of an expert. In almost anything. At all.)

Well, it was good to give their students a sense of confidence in their teachers at least.

"I was told that it's tradition to do an introduction for the first class." Unless Faye lied to him. Which was possible. "But we also wanted to know why you wanted to learn about bounty hunting. It's not exactly an easy profession."

"Pff." Faye was all too happy to undermine that. "I mean, maybe for you."

Not the time to be contrary for the hell of it, Valentine. "But yes, tell us why you want to be bounty hunters. It takes a pretty specific type of person."

The morally flexible kind, in her experience.

Din sighed, just letting her go on down that path. "The sort who doesn't get killed easily, I've found."

"Quick on your feet," Faye supplied, nodding in agreement. "So that you don't get killed."

For some reason, a lot of times people who you were chasing and threatening to take to jail didn't want to go!

"So, tell us your reasons for it and we can see how the class will go for you," Din said, glad they could agree on that one skill.

Like a bounty hunter!

Whatever that means to you, in icon form.

Lecture, bicker, to-may-to, to-mah-to.

Who are you and why do you want to learn to be a bounty hunter?

There might be an adorable toddler puppet around, too.

It is too sunny to be 34F outside, what the hell.

(That appears to be 1.111111 degrees Celsius, which seems so much worse written out.)

Summer Smith

It was a little weird being in a class again, but, ngl, Summer was super stoked for this and it definitely showed.

"Hiiiiiiii," she lifted a hand with the sort of grin that went along with knowing what a train wreck this class had the potential to be considering the circumstances she'd been privy to on account of being Din's teaching buddy. "I'm Summer. Bartender, store manager, beloved teacher, jello shot caterer, party planner....and I just kind of thought to myself, you know what? Five jobs? In this economy? Girl, where is your hustle? So I think bounty hunting could be a great number six, you know? Flexible scheduling, never a dull moment, significantly more emotionally fulfilling than Uber....I'm so totally in. I'm already stupid good at not dying, even!"

There was a faint beat.

"Wait. Do you guys think there's Uber for spaceships? I could totally be down for Uber with spaceships."

"Like space cabs?" Faye asked, vaguely following along there. (She only kind of knew what an Uber was. She might be confusing it with the one where you swiped right or left, which would be a very different answer.) "Those exist where I'm from, yeah, but bounty hunting is very much a freelance gig, so flexible scheduling is absolutely one of the biggest perks."

Enola Holmes

For once, Enola did not attend class in her Victorian garb. No, today she wore pants and a plain t-shirt though the rest of her still looked like she was a thin wisp of nothing.

"My name is Enola Holmes. I am a detective, a decipherer and a finder of lost souls," she said confidently. "Though I may look young, I have already found and rescued a nobleman and a noblewoman from my time period. I wish to continue these endeavors and believe a class such of this will heighten my skills."

"How much did you get for 'em?"

Look, sure, the girl had said 'rescue,' but Faye was assuming there was at least a ransom involved here.

"A small fortune. It turns out that nobles will pay anything for the safe return of their children," Enola said, completely missing the fact that Faye was talking about ransom. "However it did take a heavy toll on both the families and myself. I'd prefer to learn more about tracking people down safely than endangering myself or my clients."

There indeed was! He was sitting on the desk provided to the teachers, coloring something that might have been a picture of one of the teachers done in stick figure form.

Well. Bounty hunters did get paid for the bounty.

"Safety isn't a guarantee even when you know what you're doing. Your best option would be to learn how to adapt to whatever the job throws at you."

You know. Just adopt your bounty and raise them as your child. No big.

Or have a potential romance with a nobleman in Enola's case. Po-tay-toe. Po-tah-toe.

"I don't require a guarantee," Enola said nodding in acknowledgement. "However learning to adapt, especially an environment like this island would be somewhat beneficial for my line of work."

"Who's that?" Faye asked, peering at the picture.

She would withhold her critique of his artwork, which Faye thought was pretty kind of her, honestly.

"That's achievable." Well. "Within reason."

BECAUSE THIS PLACE.

It was totally her. But the hair was super blue because the purple crayon disappeared into the ether. Never to be found again.

Grogu held it up for her because it was a gift, maker damn it. It was a gift.

Blue kind of suited her, too. Faye at least thought so.

"For me to keep?" she checked, uncertain as she took the paper carefully. "I mean, you really captured my essence."

Shhhhhhh, she was a soft touch when it came to the kid. Look at his face!

"That's Sabine's doing," Din said, picking up wayward crayons to put back on the desk. They were gonna roll right on off again. Just the facts of having a kid there.

"Good," Faye decided, holding up the art appraisingly. "You should color the meditation room, like Sabine was before she left," she advised Grogu before glancing up at Din and winking. "Keep the art thing going."

Alexis Rose

"I'm Alexis," said Alexis, speaking like everyone should know that when she kept jaunting off. "And I'm here to pick up done tips in case any bounty hunters ever come after me."

"Why would bounty hunters come after you?" asked the bounty hunter who was now much more interested in Alexis than she had been in any of her other students so far.

Alexis shrugged.

"Crazy happens sometimes."

Illyana Rasputin

"Illyana Rasputin," Illyana replied, looking faintly puzzled. "My mentor signed me up for this class."

Really, Strange? Really?

"I suppose he figures it may be useful in our line of work, which sometimes requires tracking down people or creatures who are causing Problems."

Arabella Baylor

"I'm Arabella Baylor and I work for my family's private investigation firm," Arabella said. "Sometimes we have to track people down." Sometimes those people were a douchebag pyrokinetic who wanted to burn Houston to the ground. You know. The usual. "So it seems like a useful skillset to have."

Arabella might be looking at the toddler puppet with total heart eyes going on. And very casually trying to snap a picture to send to her sisters.
