Who knows. Maybe someone in the theater really dislikes clowns.
[ also it's kind of weird to just be halfway through the door, so she steps out to join him. (she'd invite him inside but it would probably be salt in the wound, etc. also, it's kind of crowded as is.) ]
...I'm not sure I'd call it 'work'—I'm not employed by anyone. [ nobody is the boss of her!!!! ] But I'm something of a traveler. A peacekeeper, you could say. I go wherever there's trouble.

He's got his back to anyone approaching, but even that back tells a story... of envy. ]
no subject
—Oh. Aventurine.
[ she tries not to smile at his expense, but doesn't entirely succeed. ]
...Dare I guess where you're staying?
[ does he want to make a game of this too? (i'll spare you yuul.) ]
no subject
Hello, Miss Aqua. I don't think you'll have to guess very hard.
[ Anguish... He's going to smell like barn until who knows when. ]
no subject
...
[ yeah. yeah he does smell like barn. ]
...Maybe you can ask someone for a trade?
[ NOT HER. ]
no subject
Doubt anyone will want to take that trade, and I can't exactly sweeten the deal when I have nothing to offer.
[ He is so POOR here. ]
It's fine. I'm just complaining.

Does the company make up for it, at least?
no subject
He still manages a smile, though. ]
Have you met the man called Boothill yet?
no subject
I do. What about him?
[ booturine is going to be the next charthur but with a way worse name ]
no subject
You don't think he's difficult to get along with?
no subject
...He does have a pretty strong personality.
no subject
[ Because Aventurine is sooooooo easy to get along with. ]
no subject
[ takes out the get-along-glock. ]
And if not, maybe you'll have to find some. [ MAKE SOME. ] I just mean, it doesn't seem like we'll be leaving this place anytime soon.
[ they'd be doing themselves a favor, along with the rest of their roomies... yeah... this is 100% unsolicited advice. ]
no subject
Does that mean you've been getting along with everyone here?
no subject
...I'm surprised. I wouldn't have thought you'd have this sort of trouble.
[ she actually does get the impression that aventurine is sooooooo easy to get along with. because. they have been getting along just fine. ]
no subject
[ OKAY BUDDY. ]
I've never personally dealt with him, but he's got some sort of a grudge against me because of where I work.
no subject
You won't try to change his mind? Where do you work...?
[ nosy. ]
no subject
It's called the IPC. The Interastral Peace Corporation.
[ Sounds nice right... ]
no subject
[ unfortunately that sounds really nice yeah ]
no subject
Who knows? He's chaotic enough that it may be as simple as not aligning with his lifestyle.
no subject
[ smiles ]
no subject
Smiles back? ]
no subject
...What brought you to join the IPC?
[ she's like wow... this guy is a philanthropist? ]
no subject
[ A PHILANTHROPIST... ]
What do you do for work, Miss Aqua?
no subject
[ haha... jk... ]
...I'm not sure I'd call it 'work'—I'm not employed by anyone. [ nobody is the boss of her!!!! ] But I'm something of a traveler. A peacekeeper, you could say. I go wherever there's trouble.
no subject
[ He'll answer that much! ]
And is that so? Our paths might have crossed had we shared the same cosmos.
