Careers Fair, Fandom High Front Lawn, Friday Afternoon, 07/21/06

By lunch time, the booths were set up, the guests had arrived and there was quaint music playing from somewhere undetermined. Hawkeye is walking around with one of those portable microphone/speaker set-ups, roaming from booth to booth announcing the various guests that have come to Fandom to talk about their professions.

And despite what the mainland weather forecast said, it was definitely a nice, fine day.

"It's a very important skill," she said, politely blowing smoke out the side of her mouth so he wouldn't have to deal with it. "You should try it out in Caritas at some point."

"Do a lot of people hook up there?" Tyler asked. "Always seemed like a quieter scene to me."

"Though last night was weird."

"Last night?" she asked, vaguely curious.

"A pink thing hugged my leg," Tyler said, starting with the most important detail. "And that girl Rory that looks like you was there with some other people and she was really, really drunk." He pulled a wee purple umbrella out of his pocket. "She gave me this and sang some dirty song."

"Rory's a goody two-shoes," she said, puzzled. "Huh. Why'd she give you the...little purple umbrella?"

"She's fine," Tyler said. "And I don't know. She just decided everyone needed them. I think I came in on the middle of something."

"It's too colorful," Becky decided, staring at the umbrella.

Tyler considered. "Would you like it better if it were white? They might have white ones."

"I could deal with white," she decided. "Blue in a pinch, since I'm already more used to that. We don't have a lot of...what is this color called? Purple? in Basin City."

"Purple," Tyler agreed. "Magenta, almost."

This was cool. She was talking to him like she cared. He looked around the career fair. "So what were you going to tell us about your exciting career choice?"

"What do you want to know?" she asked, tilting her head.

Her eyes were very blue. Distracting. "How'd you get into it?" he asked, fumbling.

"I was sixteen and bored," she said honestly. "And money never hurts."

Tyler raised a brow. "Sex or violence. Those are kind of the options when you're 16 and bored, huh," he said. "I went with violence. Less money in it."

Re: SEX INDUSTRY PROFESSIONAL

"Violence is fun, too. In Old Town, they go hand in hand," she said with a grin. "You can't see three fourths of the weaponry I'm packing. It's a lesson all the girls learn as soon as they start working there. And now it's just habit for me."

Okay, this wasn't helping Tyler's crush to go away. "What do you usually carry?" he asked. "It makes sense, if you're around strangers a lot."

"Handguns and blades," she said, casually sliding a switchblade out of her sleeve and flipping it open. "Miho has swords and throwing swastikas, too. I'm a better shot with a gun, though."

Tyler was impressed. "So ... bad idea to piss either of you off," he breathed.

"GOB got stabbed on my birthday because he alarmed Miho," she replied, smiling. "So yeah."

It seemed to be a happy memory, but Tyler had no idea how to follow uup on it, so he didn't.

"I'll remember that," he muttered. "See you around."
