[Video]

 It's less like a video and more like a mobile Selfie; Alex at a small table tucked into the back of some place or another. There's the sound of drinking and eating, glasses clinking and the low murmur of conversation that strains just on the edge of ones hearing. The red-head in question is finishing off a pint glass herself, setting it down and resting her elbows on the table to peer into the communicator.

Someone's not great with technology.

"So it seems like if I wait for there to be a quiet moment before I introduce myself then I'm gonna be waiting a fuck of a long time. I'm Alex, got dragged here a few days ago and I guess I'm here to stay now. My starting digs weren't really what I was looking for, but this Maurtia Falls place..." She whistles, short and low. "This is the kind of town a girl could get used to."

Alex leans back into the booth, hands behind her head, although this takes her a little further from the mic on the communicator. "I was kind of a big deal back home, kind of want to be a big deal here too. Y'know, rich, famous, that sort of thing. But see back home I had a crew, a team, people I trusted...and so far here it's just me."

She leans forward again, scooping up the communicator and staring into it with amber eyes. "So...who else wants to be a big deal around here?"

And what sort of crew was this?

Re: text

The loyal kind, the kind I could trust to have my back and they'd trust that I have theirs. The kind you can build a larger "organization" around.

A shame I can't provide that. Contract work provides so much more freedom, I'd hate to give it up. But I have occasionally done work for "organizations", in quotes or otherwise.

I get you, I used to do a lot of contract work myself and it was fun. It doesn't happen often, but sometimes I do need to hire some contract work professionals so I'll be sure to keep you in mind.

I'm Alex.

Lucien. Always glad to meet someone who understands the field. I solve problems for clients in need of discrete services: resolving disputes, public relations problems, that sort of thing.

Heh, funny, I used to do the same kinda contract work. S'part of how I got where I am today...well, where I was anyway. Small world...er, Galaxy, or whatever.

[applewatcher]

It's such a rewarding profession, isn't it?

Good luck to your rebuilding, and I hope we can do business sometime.

[canonized_demon]

Yeah it was alright, I prefer to be in business for myself though. Pushing my own goals and shit.

But I'll definitely keep you in mind, have a good one yeah?
