EMPLOYMENT AMA
Preferred Alias: Jaden

Worst Job(s) Held: real life mannequin; pool cleaner (you have no idea how gross people are, on several levels); bounty hunter; werewolf (not sure it counts, but it sure as hell feels like a job)

Best Job(s) Held: tailoring intern; spelling bee champion (my mother considered it a real job. my allowance was based on where i placed); big brother; football player (high school, so not technically a job)

Fantasy Job(s): middle linebacker for the New England Patriots

Current Job(s): still a bounty hunter, I guess, although I've not had any work since arriving here. If you're looking for someone to perform a job for you, I am available. I guess, if you really need a suit done, I can look into that, too. I'd rather not.

Honestly, that gives me some hope for the vampires of my world. Maybe it's more than just the Clave keeping them in line

[ Though, he really doubts it. He's seen how they flout the rules even with the Clave in power. ]

[poenitudo]

so what's the Clave exactly? Is it just Shadowhunters?
Because how is that fair to your Downworlders? Are they treated like second class citizens?

[ He's curious, since he would be, in Jace's world, a Downworlder himself. ]

[estrayer]

The Clave are the leaders of the Shadowhunters. Downworlders have their own leaders, but they've signed the Accords, and that means accepting the Clave's authority

They'll send criminals to us, and we keep the peace

Downworlders are our allies. Honestly, not everyone treats them like that. But they should

[poenitudo]

I wish a world existed where every species was represented where authority is concerned. At home, it's all for the vampires' gain, because they have a lot more reach and influence than the rest of us. And in your world, looks like Shadowhunters get the final say.

Some people are always left behind, apparently.

[estrayer]

If you ever find a world that's really fair to every kind of person in it, point me to it

The Downworlders answer to us because of the Accords we all signed. They have their own leaders too

Wolves like you tend to have pack alphas. Vamps have their clans, the Seelie have their Queen

You want democracy, well think of each species like one State, and the Clave's the President. Believe me, there's worse systems we could have.

[poenitudo]

Maybe you think this way because you are a Shadowhunter.
I mean, if it works, good for you guys.

[ You still won't convince him, long term, probably, that's it's not leaning towards the Shadowhunters, what with them having the last word. Like his own world is geared towards the Vampires getting the upper hand. ]

So there are no lone wolves?

[estrayer]

Maybe

[ Jace won't deny that. He has no other perspective, though. He's certainly not in a position to speak for the Downworld, not after all they've been through with him. ]

I won't say there's none, but it's rare. I've heard of wild werewolves that I was always taught are dangerous. Packs tend to take care of their own. They'll help new wolves, teach them what they need to know

That's what I've seen them do, anyway. Of course if there's a wolf that's gone rogue, and hurts humans, it's a Shadowhunter problem.

[poenitudo]

I'm a lone wolf, but I wouldn't call myself rogue. Or dangerous.

I'm only dangerous to whoever threatens me.

[estrayer]

That's true of most people I know
Werewolf or not

I don't see you and I having a problem.

[poenitudo]

Good

All I want is to be left alone anyway. I'm not into politics.
