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?

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

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

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?

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.

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?

give or take. we arrived around the same time and he hired me pretty much right away, so.

[ To be fair, there's a lot of their lives Rose didn't see beforehand. And vice versa. But... she gets it. It can be strange, knowing you've missed part of someone's life so important to you. It's how she feels a little about Vanyel spending time in Tamriel without her. ]

no, i'm... similar to werewolves but. I'm what's called a yokai. I'm basically a wolf made of ki from another world. I can look human, too!
~*~magic~*~

[ A yokai. Well, to Jace that's a Japanese demon, and it makes his wariness rise. He's met this girl himself, though, and she wasn't like any demon he's ever met. If Magnus and Alec are friends of hers, she must be okay. For now, he'll treat her like any other Downworlder. ]

That's good to know
I'm Jace. I'm a Shadowhunter like Alec
If you know him then I'm guessing that means something to you?

[ She is

the worst demon to ever demon, Jace. It's okay. Besides, she'd grown used to wariness and general dislike of her kind before Eudio. It might have been good for her in seeing that there are some places in the multiverse where that doesn't have to be, but... She's not going to be surprised if there are some where it still is. ]

Nice to officially make your acquaintance, Jace.
I'm Rose. Or Rosie. Whatever you prefer.

The word 'hunter' is still a little scary to me, but
I know Alec. I know you guys don't hurt creatures like me unless we give you reason to and I don't plan to, so. It's cool.
Also, y'know, he's married to a warlock so that says a lot too on how you guys probably aren't like the hunters from my home world.

Edited (whOOPS) 2017-07-02 12:30 (UTC)

[ That almost makes Jace laugh. They aren't like the hunters from her world? She'd take that back if she knew Valentine. Or the Clave.

Or if she knew everything Jace himself had done. 'You don't hurt creatures like me unless we give you reason', she says. He wishes that were true. He wishes he could even say it was true for him. It's not. ]

Alec's breaking new ground with that
Honestly? Shadowhunters aren't always fair to creatures like you
But if you aren't hurting mundanes, I have no problem. You're a friend of Alec's, that's good enough for me

[ Alec wouldn’t be her friend if she was dangerous. Nor, Jace thinks, would Magnus. He trusts their judgement. ]

You had problems with hunters in your world?

[ On one hand, that's disheartening. On the other, she can almost understand because the supernatural aren't always the friendliest bunch themselves. Still. ]

Hunters from my world liked to stab or shoot first and ask questions later. Or just not ask them at all.
Didn't matter to them that I was just trying to live my life, I had a bounty on my head and that meant I'd done something wrong at some point to deserve it.

I... made some mistakes, I admit, but only out of self-defense. Only did what I felt like I had to in order to survive.
Apparently that doesn't count though if you're a 'monster.'

[ That strikes more of a nerve than she knows. Calling them monsters. That's Valentine's words all over again. Jace knows exactly the kind of hunter she was dealing with. The thought of it makes him feel sick. ]

Not everyone cares what the context is

But they should. I know not all Downworlders are the monsters they're made out to be
They don't deserve that.

Can I ask about the bounty you had on your head?

The fact that you recognize that already makes me like you, dude.

And sure.
I killed the man who ran the fighting ring that I was a gladiator for.
I wasn't a fighter by choice, mind you, which probably puts into context why I killed him.
But he was important. His death meant the loss of a lot of money for a lot of people. Humans get pretty upset about money, apparently, and wanted me dead for it.

For what it's worth? That whole operation would be against the accords
And not just because humans were involved. Where I'm from they don't know any of this exists

I'm sorry for what you went through
I know that doesn't mean a lot, but I am

It was illegal as fuck in my world, too.
Didn't stop them though.
Most humans don't know a lot out there exists too. The elite tend to because, well, money is power. Knowledge is power. And regular human vices get... boring after a while, I suppose.

It means enough.
Good to know there's people like you out there, if nothing else

[ Regular human vices. The implication of that makes Jace feel ill. ]

Is this a better place for you?
I mean I can at least tell you that's not something I'd let happen if I saw it
I know my friends wouldn't, either

[ That alone speaks volumes. Rose has seen the worst of humanity, been at their 'mercy.' That he thinks it's depraved, makes his stomach churn is a good thing. ]

Better than anyone knows.
Eudio too. Even if I didn't always think that.

Good to know. Especially since I planned on visiting your world someday.
Magnus promised me a place to stay, at least.

He gave me one too
Magnus is a good friend. I know you'd be welcome with him
That's providing we ever get back to our world. I hate to tell you, but I didn't leave it in a great state. We have work to do first

He's one of the best friends I've ever had, actually

Well, hey.
I'm happy to help if it'd be possible
Not like I got much to return to in my world, so I'm planning on doing what I can for my friends'

I appreciate that, especially if you aren't fighting for your own place
Though I'm aiming to save all of them, personally

I'm not
I'm fighting for someone else's, but I don't know if we'll go back right away
So might as well put my energy somewhere else, right?
Though, dang.
All of them
Look at you, Mr. Hero

Just cause the danger's bigger than I thought doesn't mean it gets to win
Everyone here deserves the chance to go home. Even if they don't want to take it

Fair enough.
I don't, but... I appreciate it. Lot of people in my world I'd hate to lose, even if I can't see them anymore.
It's good of you, to take that on. I'll help you, however I can.
