[ Oh, look, it's Kitty Jones. She seems a little tired - though you'd only know it by looking at her. Her voice is unchanged from normal. Indeed, she speaks with her typical firm bubbliness - a cheerful, kindly tone and an adorably youthful London accent obscuring the fact that her speech is (as usual) a bit on the manipulative/calculating/forceful/aggressive side. ]
Hullo, all. First, a job offer. I run a charity garage. It does pretty good work - we fix up and build really, really good cars, and sell 'em to the richer members of the local populace, and then the proceeds go to fund public transit in Heropa. Anyway. I recently... [ Just a little flicker in her smile. ] Lost an employee. So if there's anyone out there who's good with cars or mechanics or whatever, I definitely want you.
[ And now to the less businesslike portion of her announcement: ]
Anyway. Obviously there's been a lot of talk of elections lately, and there's also been a lot of cynicism about the whole electoral process. For obvious reasons. Since there are some politicians who are lunatic idiots. So I guess I just wanted to throw this out there, 'cause all of you have so much different experience from different worlds.
Who had power, where you're from? What was the government like? And were they good - just - or unjust? What do you think's the best form of government? How much power should the people in charge have?
And if you could build a government, build a country from scratch, what would it look like? Would you limit the freedom of the press, or would everyone have the right to speak? Would you build social programs, or would you leave people to fend for themselves? Would you go after warfare and expanding your borders, or would people live in peace?
[ These questions are a little bit leading. Perhaps. ]
Anyway. Share your thoughts, please.

Working with machinery would be great, too, though. And the cars are... They're different enough here that everything's interesting, but similar enough to not be a pain. That's how it's looking, anyway. Plus, working on something other than ships might feel kinda nostalgic at this rate, and isn't a sucker for that?

Uh. Either way... I guess I can at least apply, right? I mean, you're the boss and all. You get to tell me whether I can apply or not, and I don't-- Geez. I probably need some kinda proof that I can do this stuff, right? Or a resume. With references. That I don't have here.

[ She blows out a little puff of air and waves her hand dismissively. ]
Bugger that. Just come over and prove that you know what you're doing to me. Or, no, prove that you know what you're doing to Saya. That'll be enough.
no subject
I mean, probably. Unless cars got way off-base in this world. I usually work with space ships, so cars shouldn't be a problem.
no subject
If you're good, and cars aren't like they used to be, we'll train you. Don't worry about that. Honestly, nothing makes me more furious than people who won't take a bit of time and have a bit of patience when there's talent in front of them.
[ This is not entirely true. But only because there's a list of about seven hundred things that make Kitty very furious. ]
no subject
Yeah. I'd really like to give it a shot, if you're up for it. Seems like just the thing, and... Having an extra job never hurt anybody, right?

What am I doing, again? I mean-- Where am I showing up to do this thing? Ooh, and when? That's important, too.
