Yeah. She even hosts D&D on Thursdays. [Which is an impressive display of nerdiness that Max appreciates, despite the secret pleasure she gets from teasing Chloe about it.
But now they're talking about Max. She nods, taking a bite of her ice cream to give her a little bit of breathing room in the conversation. When she talks again her voice is far more awkward.] The arcade is nice, and it's definitely fun, but... I don't really do much. I just make sure the machines aren't being mistreated and help people out with a few things. And whatever else they need someone to do. [She shrugs.] I take classes at the college too, but... [But it's a random assortment of things that caught her eye, not an actually well-designed program. She just shrugs again.]
A lot of things are free, but it really helps to have a job. Once you've settled down anyway.
Any recommendations? ❰ max has been here-... maybe not 'a while' for certain, but definitely a good bit longer than rachel. she'd know the decent places to work, in theory. and as an afterthought: ❱ I wonder if the theatre's hiring.
❰ the last time she was there, the entire staff had the pastel hair of the native population, and each of the plays they produced seemed to be extremely fucky for someone. do they even hire... people like rachel and max? non-pastel people? is that something she's going to have to worry about here? ❱
[Not quite. She was going to suggest the theater, but there was a lot of doubt behind that. It wasn't exactly a place that felt safe - especially not after the play where she bumped into Rachel.
...Which Rachel doesn't know about. It gets hard to keep track of the timelines, sometimes.]
Chloe told me you're a great actress. Uh, there's the schools too. You can take classes, and they pay you for it. There's a bookstore, and uh... a bunch of stores and bars and stuff.
[She shrugs. She's feeling so unhelpful right now.]

Honestly, anything kinda goes.
