EMPLOYMENT AMA


Preferred Alias: Rosie


Worst Job(s) Held: I'd say 'Gladiator' but that wasn't really a job since I wasn't the one getting the fight winnings. L A M E. So, I'm gonna have to go with working at a hostess club. And for those of you not in the know, that's a job where women are rented by (usually middle-aged) men for an evening. You pretend to be their girlfriend or wife or mistress or whatever. It could be fun, but most of the time was just kind of sad.


Best Job(s) Held: Roadie. DJ at Pandemonium. Anything that had to do with music, I was all about. Also, I really liked waitressing even for as thankless as it could be at times.


Fantasy Job(s): DJ was pretty much it. A pilot, I guess, would be awesome since I've always wanted to be able to fly.


Current Job(s): Unemployed bum. Dog watcher? I have eight, someone's got to look after them.

So you're the girl from the forest, with the dogs
If you worked at Pandemonium I'm guessing we have friends in common

You know Magnus Bane?

[hasitsthorns]

I AM the girl from the forest with the dogs, yes.

And I do know Magnus Bane. He's my packmate.

[estrayer]

not a phrase I've heard used for him before, but okay
These days I guess he's my brother in law
I'm still getting used to saying that

I'm gonna take it you were in that Eudio place, with him and Alec?

[hasitsthorns]

well, it's a thing with wolves. pack and all that.
don't worry, it's kind of new for me too. but in a good way.

I was, for about a year.
Magnus and Alec both helped me through a lot.

[estrayer]

A year

[ That's the weirdest part of all of this; that Magnus and Alec were in that other place for a whole year without him. That Alec is technically two years older than him now. That he's missed so much of their lives, a part that this girl got to see. ]

Yeah. They make pretty good friends
They've helped me too.

So when you say wolf, do you mean werewolf?

You could improve the music selection at the citadel

[hasitsthorns]

Oh my god, I tried.
I tried so hard???
I can't find the source of it.
Maybe I should just ask F.A.T.E.S. directly if I can.

[helical]

You should. Please
It's terrible.

[hasitsthorns]

the w o r s t
I will change it asap trust me
no one should have to suffer what I did when we first found the citadel

[helical]

Was it worse before?

Mistress Rose, I hope you are well.

I am unfamiliar with much of what you have described. What is a roadie? And a DJ?

What are the names of your dogs, and what kind of canine are they? I most familiar with wolf pups, but I doubt the dogs of yours I have met previously are wolves.

[hasitsthorns]

I am well, thank you! Are you?

A roadie is someone who follows bands (a group that plays music) around the country. I helped them set up stage, sell T-shirts, fetch coffee... That kind of stuff. A DJ is short for 'disc jockey' and basically we mix different songs and types of music together to make it more fun.

This might take a minute, hold on

[ There's a long '...' of her typing, before finally, ]

Apollo is my deamon but he was (is?) my dog, a Golden Retriever.
Blaze is a Growlithe.
Robin and Maurice are twin Leonbergers.
Marshmallow is an Akita.
And the the remaining three are Huskies but they don't have any names because their owner never gave them any and I guess I'm trying to honor him that way.

[astralera]

I am also well, thank you for asking.

I believe you would get along very well with my bard mentor. He is a minstrel of legendary skill. I imagine he would find this 'disc jockey' work very interesting. Though sadly he is not here for me to introduce you.

I do not know any of those types of dogs, but they are beautiful if I am remembering correctly. You have given reason for not naming your Huskies. What is the meaning behind the names of your other companions?

[hasitsthorns]

I'm glad to hear it!

Ah, man, probably. I love me some bards. I'd be happy to teach him to DJ, too. Maybe someday I'll get to meet him.

Apollo is the name of a god of the sun. Since he's a 'golden' dog it seemed fitting. Robin and Maurice are named after a musical group from my home. Blaze is a Growlithe - a dog that breathes fire - so I named him accordingly. Marshmallow just looks like a roasted marshmallow to me, so... that's the reason for his name. I actually inherited him from his previous owner, who liked the name I gave him so much he kept it.

found no trace of marshmallows in lore. sad bc it means haurchefant's hot cocoa never had them :(

[astralera]

I am nowhere near as talented as Jehantel, but perhaps one day I can play you a song he taught me.

You have a dog that breathes fire?

[ And, of course-- ]

What is a marshmallow?

[hasitsthorns]

A lot of big names, actually!
Maroon 5. Lady Gaga. Passenger. Just to name a few off the top of my head.
It's not as glamorous as you think though.

Now that's an idea!
I'd definitely be up for flying. (Haha, see what I did there?)

[hasitsthorns]

It is! I had the bonus of super human strength and all (not that anyone really knew...) and just generally more stamina, but. It was still pretty tiring work all things considered. But I loved it.

I miss it a lot, sometimes.

Maybe we could ask F.A.T.E.S. for one if we, like, pitch it as a way to scope out our surroundings. It doesn't need to know we can't properly fly yet.

[locoparentis]

That's a lot of dog walking.

[hasitsthorns]

It is so much of the dog walking.
I love it.

[poenitudo]

you're that desperate for a pack you surround yourself with dogs?

[hasitsthorns]

uhm wow

1. RUDE
2. I have a pack, actually. where's yours?

[poenitudo]

i don't want a pack
what's the point? i like my freedom and a pack would take it away from me
ask me to bow down to an alpha
fuck that

[hasitsthorns]

you think you're free, huh?
I did too.
but I also think I was confusing freedom for loneliness.
I haven't felt trapped by my pack yet, at least.

pft please
I bet you're all soft and submissive underneath that tough guy front
