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.

[ 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.
