So, here's the thing. I get that most of us don't want to be here.

[let's start by acknowledging that, alright? Emma doesn't want this. she's new, she's pissed, and all she wants is to get back home to her son. there's a role she's being forced into here that she'd like to totally ignore, but that's only going to make her life harder in the long run.

if playing along is what's going to get her home, then she's playing along - for now.]

It's apparently enough of an issue that I've been enlisted as a personnel retrieval officer. What that means for you is that if you're not where you need to be, I'll have to find you, and then I'll have to escort you to the right place. you can try getting out of it but I have almost too much experience in this sort of thing, and I always get my guy.

[it's being a bailbondsperson all over again. she may not want to do this, but she's perfectly capable of it.]

So show up for work, alright? This sucks enough on it's own without any of us making it worse.

A question: Are you of Midgard?

[ Aka are you human? ]

I'm pretty sure none of us want to be here, actually.

[Correction number one from the sassy teenage girl responding to this post.]

Also, what if our jobs are totally wrong? Like, oh, I don't know--putting someone who has zero medical experience to work in the medbay, like she's going to know what she's doing.

[Seriously, "use your magic to help the technicians?" Could they have come up with a lamer way to say they had no idea what to do with her?]

And unless you're boasting some sort of wicked power? There's probably going to be a couple of guys you can't actually get.

so i gotta ask.

what happens if you don't show up for work?

How long of a headstart do we get?

[Not that he's actually planning to not show up for work, but he can't resist asking.]

were child leashes too expensive

[ Yeah, this is. This is not good. Generally, Alice is on the side of maintaining order and pitching in. But this means that she might actually have to clean — and, you know, beyond that it just doesn't bode well for ship freedoms. ]

so who watches the watchmen on this? what if you don't do your job, who comes after you?

[ Could she just not do her job? ]

[She is so cool. Papyrus has developed a tiny hero crush just from that 'I always get my guy' line. Seriously, that's like a movie line! So very, very cool.]

Wowie! Now that sounds like a difficult job! Best of luck to you; you're going to need it. But not for me; I love my job and do it all the time!

So, I know we're all thinkin' it, but.

What if someone is late for work just so you'd have to escort them.

[Yeah, nobody could blame him for wanting a beautiful women to keep him company.]

I commend your dedication to your job, especially considering the mismatches some crew to jobs there are and the lack of anything for the goal oriented to strive for in said jobs. You may have your work cut out for you in regards to a select list of crew, which means I must advise you on allying yourself with some crew that can handle those that are outside of your skill level.

For safety reasons and such.

That depends on what Midgard is.

[Because right now? Never heard of it.]

Earth.

Aren't you a little young to be assigned to medbay?

[No comment on the powers. Emma would like to keep what advantages she has quiet for now. She's not going to lose the element of surprise to impress or piss off a kid. Besides, someone this young being assigned that kind of work doesn't sit well with her. She thought she was going to get adults to contribute to this crap, not force kids to work against their will.]

Did you mention that anyone?

If it jeopardizes my chances of getting home, I'm not going to find out.

What makes you think you get one at all?

[Answer: depends on where you rank on her list.]

so no sick days for you, huh? what about days off? vacation? time off for good behavior? help a guy out here, i wanna be sure to adjust my slacking schedule accordingly.

Edited 2016-03-06 06:48 (UTC)

Why is everyone asking that?

[ Look, it's not a job she wants to do. Normally she'd be all about rising up and doing what they want - but until they've tried everything to get back home, they have to give this whole community of helpers crap a chance. Who knows, it might even work.]

Like I said, it's nothing I haven't done before.

[And also, she's still learning what she's up against.]

That's... good, you're probably first one to tell me that.

[Sorry, at this point she doesn't know how to respond to someone being nice.]

Then they have to go to work with a bruised face.

[ Come on, seriously?]

What's outside of my skill level?

[You can't just start with that and not explain it.]

because an endless escher chain of chore-related bounty hunters having to go after each other in turn would make for a good — if kind of surreal — cop movie

but seriously. do you think they have a plan on that? like if they picked you, i assume they think you'll do the job. but that's up to you, not them

Are there really not that many people showing up to work?

Of course there's not. Never mind. Carry on.

I should hope there are others helping you with the job, dear. I can only guess it will be... quite interesting. [Toriel briefly obscures the MID camera with her thumb before she manages to uncover it to reveal her face.]

I hope no one gets hurt in the long run.

[ Well, J is certainly happy that it's rather difficult to catch her from ditching work. Flexible working hours and so.]

Oh dear, sounds like you're going to be busy. How will you know if someone is slacking off? You have little mice spying on us?

Not even going to give people a sporting chance? How incredibly cold.

[Says Mr. attack a guy on foot with a helicopter.]

Are you the one to contact about a sick day, then? Or a holiday? Can I get paid leave? I've spent a ton of time out in space, I think I'm due some leave.

[that's how it works, right....]

Comparing the updated ship manifesto with the current known variables and doing a bit of looking into what information is currently on record for you Officer Swan...

[A brief pause as he pulls up a few snips of video feed showing some of the cybertronians currently on board, along with feed of key other individuals who have abilities that may or may not be an issue in getting them to do as you want.]

There are a number of crew that may be a bit too big to handle if they decide not to go peacefully. That and it's always good to have a witness around in the event things get harried and out of hand!
