[The camera begins opening on her naval area. She has on a loose top despite it's finally getting warm enough for her to reasonably do so - as such, her middrift is exposed. And with it is exposed something she got this time last month. It's a very deliberate showing (and a message about being willing to talk she hope she doesn't have to say outright), and she then jerks it back up to her face. As usually, she has about four earrings in and the nose stud, but her wings are exposed due to a lack of coat. The silver clip on her left wing and the tattoo she has on that same shoulder are thus both plainly visible.

And her expression... well she's trying to make it less hard than it maybe tends to be. Still, given her subject matter, it's still severe]

Four rutting kidnappings on this book in the last three days. Anyone spot that? Had to. [exhale]

Need some carrier pigeons. [Maybe she should request that if/when she gets a new mission. Yes, definitely should.]

...Everyone new, I'm Melaka Fray. Slayer- call me if you needed someone to punch things.

[Okay, so she's restless. Sue her. Azusa isn't here and she swore she heard a vamp on there too a while back. she's eager to fight something right now] ...Got any other recs, I'll hear those too. [That's more for friends or. Whoever.] For stuff doing, I mean.

...Jesu, there's tech for that in the 21st? I could- [Use that. Harth.

She feels small again. Don't dwell on it]

[herotypical]

...The government has it. I'm sure the Malnosso could duplicate it.

[makeitquick]

Heard you the first time 'bout the govvers. [but a sigh. No, don't dwell on it] ...How much you fig we gotta work for it?

[herotypical]

Probably a lot. I mean -- a physical Shift? To someone else? Against their will?

We might be able to get some help. Pool points. If it's allowed.

[makeitquick]

If we need it, I'll get 'em. [She's got a fair few already, right?]

[herotypical]

Meanwhile, they can't seem to find time to recruit me into any of their...missions.

[makeitquick]

You've been signing up?

[herotypical]

Mmhm. But everyone else seems to get picked first. It's like the playground back in middle school.

[makeitquick]

[...Nope, not getting the connection but] Jesu, thought they wanted it done.

[herotypical]

That's what I've been saying! Either I'm being put out to pasture or saved for...

[ well. her mouth shuts. either of those notions contain significant sadness. ]

[makeitquick]

...Skew, that. Could be the "Shifts" thing, could be they fig you're too much.

[herotypical]

Eh. They also very rarely drag me off for their little kidnapping games. Maybe I'm just lucky.

[makeitquick]

Dunno if being U-E'd is luck, Summers.

[herotypical]

[ give her a moment. ]

...Unemployed?

[makeitquick]

...Yes. You know, NEET.

[Pronounced, "neat"]

[herotypical]

...You've lost me again, Mel.

[makeitquick]

NEET?

...NEET. Uh, blast. [How does one... Uh] Person always U-E'd? [She's looking to mean "bum"] Not looking, usually.

[herotypical]

A deadbeat?

[makeitquick]

Sure?
