[Clara gives a little ahem. The last time she addressed the network, she had lost her shoes in a rather bizarre accident. This time, the problem she's facing is somewhat closer to Earth, and she sounds a touch more frustrated by it. Randomly turning into steam, she can easily handle. But this...]

It seems I'm a bit in need of a new job. Nothing in a shop, or wearing a hair net, but I'm fairly open to suggestions.

[Or, at least, she knows that she should be. Traveling through time and space has ruined her for ordinary life, but she can't just be idle. It's beginning to sink in that she could be living here for a very long time before she and the Doctor find their way back home, and she isn't planning to spend it sitting about.]

I've got a college degree, a great sense of smell, and I can almost bake. Let me know if you've got any ideas.

She's also good with kids, a very fast runner, and is remarkably good at seeing through deep cover.

[ thanks, peanut gallery. ]

[justimprobable]

I'm sure there's something out there that combines all those things, yeah?

[ Clara, the Doctor's friend. She doesn't seem very happy. ]

The jobs they gives us here aren't always what we're suited to. That's why we set up a business of our own, to make us feel somewhat familiar.

What do you do at home? That's what I'd recommend you look for.

[justimprobable]

[Clara smiles at the sight of the Musketeer - and the best-looking of the three, at that. She still isn't quite over it.]

I'm an English teacher, but I'm not sure if I want to do that here. The students need someone who isn't going to leave them.

What is your degree in?

[Nosy Bela is nosy.]

[justimprobable]

English and Classics. At eighteen I'm afraid I fancied myself one of those tragic romantics, reading poetry in a nook somewhere in the dead of winter.

[assays]

Teaching perhaps? I believe there is a school here.

[justimprobable]

The Doctor's tried to sway me towards that, but I'm not so sure. I still intend to get us back home. The kids need someone who's going to stay put.

[timecapture]

Maybe you could be a teacher! Or a baker? I'd suggest my workplace, but it's a photography studio.

[justimprobable]

[Hark, a youth! Clara's favorite kind of person.]

I could be, I suppose, but the students need someone who isn't going to leave them. I'm still holding out hope for a way home, sooner rather than later.

[Of course, home to her is no longer a single place. It's traveling with her best friend, and while they're stuck here that isn't possible.]

Are you a photographer?

[ringen]

I'm getting a bit tired of my job, myself, and I've only been here a short while.

You mentioned being a teacher before, no? Why not resume that career?

[justimprobable]

I'm still thinking about it. But the kids need someone who isn't still hoping to leave. They need someone who can sign on for the whole year.

What's job did they give you?

[mightthinkthat]

You'd have to move to Nonah if I'm to offer you a job. What happened to the one you had? [ Her phrasing doesn't suggest that the job loss was by her decision. ]

[justimprobable]

It turns out travel agencies don't particularly like it when you tell your clients that their holiday plans are rubbish. But I didn't see much choice - they asked if they could see Niagara Falls well enough from the bus, so they didn't have to get wet.

What sort of job would you like to be doing?

[ Not 'what is she good at' or 'what does she have experience in'... those aren't always going to be the same answers. ]

[justimprobable]

Well, I like to help people, and solve problems, and I'd rather not sit still all day.

[biteouttagrimes]

Not so sure havin' a college degree'd do you good in this world. Don't know if the credits carry over.

[justimprobable]

Well, I figure it makes me sound fairly dependable.

[bloodpressured]

I'd suggest crabs, but the sense of smell is definitely a drawback.

[justimprobable]

[She raises her eyebrows, giving him a bit of a funny look.]

Crabs? And... what would I not be doing with crabs?

[akito]

Do you want to get better at baking?

[justimprobable]

Well, it's a nice hobby. I used to do it with my mum. But as a job, I'm not certain.

[enucleation]

Well, maybe a café waitress? it sounds cliché, but it usually works well with most people.

What is your degree?

[justimprobable]

Well, it would certainly be an easy fallback. I waitressed a bit through university, myself.

[She's great with people, but... perhaps not so much with orders.]

And it's in English and Classics, with a teaching certificate. I'm a teacher back home.

[cuff]

How almost are we talkin?

[justimprobable]

Cookies, muffins. I made a soufflé once, but was too beautiful to live.
