WHAT ever
WHERE ever
WHEN Day 73 maybe? probably. that was a long blizzard tho.

[EYYYY IT FINALLY STOPPED SNOWING!!!

In fact, the roads are clear, even. Maybe the weird mechanical noises that could be heard in the wee hours of the morning were snowplows...? Sure. That seems like the reasonable explanation.

Seems like time... for a SNOWBALL FIGHT.

In fact, a snowball may be coming at you right now. Who threw that??

...did... anybody throw that?]

Just about.

Any pointers for a new recruit?

...just that there's no rush. Ever.

[Her cheek ticks toward a wry smile]

That will take some getting used to. But... time enough, right?

Right. For all those hobbies you always meant to pick up, too.

I have to come up with a few of those. If the weather stays like this, maybe I should learn to knit?

[not really an interest. but it's been so long since there was space for interests]

Sure. Or cooking's perennial.

Probably have to find a job for that. Otherwise I'm stuck trying to find uses for sandwich meat and crackers. Juice in a box.

Well, a job's a good place to start anyway.

Not sure I’m really shop girl material. Or waitressing. Whatever else there is to do for work.

There's quieter options, if customer service isn't your thing.

[a wince]

Not really.

There are stores with separate backstock teams. Or there's maintenance work, or mall security.

Mall security. Those are some options. What are you doing around here?

I teach sciences up at the school.

A teacher? Nice. Much better than mall security.

Yeah, I like it. There's openings, if that's more to your interest.

What kind of an opening? Science wasn’t my strong subject.

It's flexible. What are your strong subjects?

[she hesitates just briefly, but she and Stark have been... they've been okay? it'll probably be fine; as for the question, she goes for about the safest answer she can think of]

I've got a good ear for languages?

Oh! [interested]

What are you fluent in?

Russian. Romanian. My French and German aren't bad. Fluent might be stretching it.

[whatever Hydra might have needed, or came in handy during the Cold War]

I can fake my way through a few others.

We could definitely make room for some Russian electives in the highschool and undergrad curriculum.

Maybe I'll keep that in mind then. Not sure how much good any of this really does, but... could be a lot worse.

[though. trusting her with teenagers.]

Just make sure to think about whether hanging out in a room full of teenagers all day is your idea of a productive time.
