Okay! First of all!!
They aren't chores!! They're jobs!!!
no subject
[they're still boring???]
no subject
[ ok riley you didn't have to break out ergo ]
I have a lot I have to think about right now, so I can't slack off.
no subject
[see Riley we can ALL be pretentious]
why don't you just get a job that pays better? or that's more fun?
[maya that's so centrist of you-]
no subject
I will have you know that this isn't exactly something I have a lot of experience in.
I admit it! Aside from when I FIRST got here, the only jobs I've gotten have been entirely through nepotism.
Just running out and finding a better paying job isn't exactly something you can just do on a whim, especially not when most rich people are just looking for muscle to help guard them and I am NOT interested in that.
And furthermore! What's fun has NOTHING to do with this! This is about taking responsibility for mistakes made and doing something decent. That's all that matters to me right now.
[ Why is it every single conversation they have ends up like this... ]
no subject
are you saying you DON'T want a job at the mermaid bar then
[it might be maya's totally-only-orca-related inclination to maybe troll folks a little bit. Especially when they make it easy.]
it's not technically nepotism right
no subject
You're offering me a JOB???
That was a job offer??
no subject
you need money
and i have money
so it works out for us both, right?
no subject
And isnโt this something you need to consult with others over? Like Dandy or something?
This cannot be how this whole process works, can it?
no subject
[if she does, he's just going to whine about it until he inevitably accepts that yes, he has to hire people and accept getting slightly attached to his employees until they inevitably return to the sea of stars. why not just skip the whole first step and tell him what he's going to do? Maya doesn't see any problem with just bossing him around—]
i can just invite you cos we're friends. I mean, i'm the mascot and all. Besides, you're a monster??? Humans just wanna come in and see pretty monsters sing and give them food.
You could be a total jerk of a waitress and humans would still keep coming back. I mean dandy does it all the time?
1/2
[ For starters! This isn't how it usually works, right? Right? ...Riley knows nothing of business, she's a failure as a basically-adult, why didn't she think of a single logistic before making herself responsible for— ]
You do not want ME as a waitress. I'd be a horrible waitress. I get nervous talking to people at the grocery store, why would I ever be a consideration for a waitress???
2/2
excuse me wait sing?????
no subject
well it's a mermaid bar! and people LOVE the idea of music and mermaids
but the catch is.... when we sing, people either fall asleep or go crazy!
[Riley might be able to cap the lack of inclusion of the 'oh, or make you do what they tell you to do' ability, considering Maya'd used her voice on her before.]
so we kind of need non-magical acts to fill out the lineup.
no subject
Oh, well
Harpies aren't non-magical singing either and I don't want to use that on anyone anymore.
no subject
You don't knock people out too, do you?
[maya's assuming at first it... must be the same.]
no subject
It gets them to listen to me.
[ She has some mixed thoughts about it now. ]
no subject
idk that seems like it could be pretty harmless!
I mean we try not to let anyone eat people IN the bar so
as long as your'e not doing anything to people once you're done singing it kinda just sounds like a great way to get extra tips!!
no subject
Can you explain to me how any of this ISN'T nepotism? You haven't even heard me sing.
no subject
ok!!! so maybe it's nepotism
are you saying no???
no subject
No I'm not saying no!!!
I just don't know
Why are you doing this?
You don't know what I sound like. You don't know what I need money for. But you're just hiring me in a causal text message?
no subject
[it feels so simple... but]
If you really want to know, it's pretty much no risk. there's like a million different things that need to get done at a food service place so there's bound to be SOMETHING you can do even if it isn't singing! and acts are pretty come-and-go anyway
that's just how Ryslig works!!
and why we've all gotta help each other out when we can ; )
no subject
She doesn't respond for a long, long few minutes. ]
If you're really sure.
For the record I do like my other jobs. Cassandra's just out of the office right now and taking care of animals all day can get a little tiring.
[ She's making it business. Giving into her emotions right now would leave her a wreck and...she's had enough of that, at least for this week. ]
no subject
besides you should totally do as many things as you can in a place like this right?? try out all the jobs, all the weird career paths... who's gonna stop you??
plus if you come work for me we'll have to see each other more often ; )
[which she has a suspicion maybe won't be Riley's *favorite* part.]
no subject
I don't particularly like to do things I'm bad at, so, I'll stop me.
And I'm not really looking to get too wild with it.
[ She tries to not comment on that last bit. This is still weird. ]
no subject
so, when can you come by?
