What's a guy gotta do ta get a real job round these parts anyway?

[Where's Kani been? None of your damn business. Looks like he's inside though. Probably in the cheapo apartments, because... Well jobs are hard to get when you're so used to just getting whatever you want without effort.

Not to say that still hasn't been happening, but professional vocal hypnotist sounds mildly unsettling. He'll pick looking unemployed.]

Ain't like I've been here fer a whole stinkin' month.

Gotta be a few places 'round here that need a good act in 'em, right?

[There's a splash. The communicator, which had been sitting off to the side and directed somewhere off into space, was snagged, yanked down to the proper level the siren sat at.

In the tub.

Glamour off because well who cares. Silver fins are half draped out of the tub, not nearly as impressive as they should have been if they were submerged. He looks cramped in it honestly, but when one needs to be submerged for a certain amount of time to live, beggars cannot be choosers.]

I mean where else is anyone here gonna find a real siren ta sing fer 'em huh? No where that's where. Be damn lucky ta have me there amirite?

[Another uncomfortable splash, a clawed and webbed hand passing by the communicator to snag something off camera. Fish, by the look of it]

How am I s'posed ta go lookin' round fer that anyway?

*Sonico isn't answering any of his questions, and it doesn't look like she's able. Her eyes stare into the camera, wide and amazed, while her mouth hangs open in awe. What is this? A new species? She doesn't know, but it's incredible whatever it is. She'll gaze a moment more before finally speaking*

What...are you?

[OH IT'S PINKY AGAIN]

Ain't ya never seen a siren before?

Awful neat, innit?

*Sonico leans a little closer into the camera and then, at his reply, she starts clapping her hands and making excited noises*

You are?! Oh wow! You really are, aren't you? It's - it's not just neat, it's incredible!

[Yes good, this is the reaction he likes]

Sure is! Once in a life time chance yer gettin' here ain'tcha? Even better listinin' ta me sing, true story.

It is! It truly is!

*Can't blame the marine biologist for being rather enraptured at the moment*

A song? I'd love - wait...

*She was so excited that she nearly begged for a song, but some of her knowledge kicks in and she looks at him doubtfully*

Is that a good idea...?

Sure it's a good idea! I won't sing nuthin' weird. Maybe just a tune ta cheer ya up a little more.

Sure do love seein' ya smile after all.

Dude why the hell y' hangin' in a shitty bathtub when there's oceans all over the place?

Cuz it's cold.

Edited 2017-01-04 18:51 (UTC)

Can't handle the deeps, then, huh? Sucks t' be you.

[Namur laughs, but he's bewildered. Even the merfolk in his world don't have a problem with the cold.]

Anyway, how good're y' 'bout managin' schedules an' shit? Got a good head on yer shoulders or y' kinda got bubbles 'stead a brains?

Well yeah yer all chubby so it don't bother you.

I got plenty of brains! More brains than ya can lift, ya dick!

'S all muscle, so y' oughta be makin' the shittin' geniuses feel dumb.

Anyway I got a business out in Everglade. Scheduler jus' went awol an' I can't raise 'im on the network, so he musta gone home. Three stars, if y' think y' can handle it.

Look chubby ta me.

What's the business?

[Broadcast from a bar, drinking, because Abel survived Ted's rubbish. Call it post Christmas burn out.]

Hello. You can sing and perform? I would think the Genessia Center Arts Theater would be a good start....

Yeah yeah? What's the pay like?

I believe you start rock bottom and then work your way to the top.

... That's crap, buddy.

[Goodness, it seems you don't have a lot of options, do you?]

Hmmm...maybe give modeling a try? I tried those, even if it's a short assignment and I get paid for sitting still while they painted me as an elf.

[Have a Tannusen with his chin propped in one black-gloved hand.]

Are you a... merfolk?

[A squinty Tannu. Like that'll help him see video clearer.]

My bar and club's always hiring talent.

I ain't one of those dolphin face lookin' weirdos, no. Siren, totally different.

I'll take your word for it.

Unseelie Bengal Tiger pooka, at your service.

Yeah yeah? A pooka? Sure has been a while since I seen one of you 'round! Knew a lil kitty cat pooka once, best right hook ya ever felt.

So... hirin' talent, huh?

[So... another Fae, then. Really? Really. Huh. And a siren, no less.]

I've got a decent right hook myself.

[And left.]

I am hiring, yes. The city doesn't let me pay as good as I'd like to, but there are other perks.

[After Lenalee had been a mermaid for a while back in October seeing something like this wasn't at all surprising anymore, however it did make her wonder how they managed to get in and out of that tub. But that wasn't why she was replying.]

I guess it would be harder for you to find work because of circumstances right? You'd just need to find the right place that would help you.

Circumstances? Like the one where I gotta go look fer a job? I ain't never had ta look fer a job in my life, sister.

They didn't exactly have applications to bein' in the opera when I first started out, yanno.

Didn't they? Then again I wouldn't really know, but I am happy to at least try and help find a suitable area of work.

[She was thinking there were a couple of places at least.]
