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?]

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.

[steps away for a moment to order two hot chocolates]

[that gets a little bit of a laugh, surprised as much as anything.

look at this, it's like being people]

[gonna go sit down with the drinks in one of the comfy corner couches once they're ready]

[Bucky will take one of the hot chocolate's when Dana's in range and sits beside her. not crowding, but close enough for a comfortable conversation]

Do you like the kids?

In general, yeah, I do.

[taking a sip of hot chocolate, a little smile over the rim]

Sounds okay, then. Is it what you did back home...?

[shakes her head]

I did spend some time as an instructor, but... at Quantico. I was an FBI agent, and a medical doctor.

[sort of rueful]

Impressive. Either one would be, but together...

Together, they give me the background to be a schoolteacher for eternity, apparently.
