So if someone was looking for work fixing shit of the mechanical nature where could I find some?

[ Because he’s restless and that’s bad for him and he likes to keep his hands busy. Unfortunately this place didn’t abduct his alien spaceship building bunker when it nabbed him. ]

I'm pretty good at fixing shit like that too. Usually cars back home but did electric signs and jewelry and whatever. Was never picky about what I worked on.

[unknownmoirai]

I'd be happy to advertise your services here as well, if that helps in some way.

[guerin]

That'd be fine. It's not that big of a deal. I'm just used to having things to keep my hands busy.

[unknownmoirai]

I understand.
It took me some time to find something here I wanted to do. This is the first time I have had a job.

[guerin]

Seriously?

[unknownmoirai]

Yes. I traveled a lot and carried everything I owe.
I don't technically need to eat or drink, so I had never needed a job.

I did help on a family farm for a year or so but I don't think that counts as a job.

[guerin]

Ah..

[ Man, shit here is weird. ]

I guess it could. I've been working most of my life in one way or another.

[unknownmoirai]

What are some of the things you've done?

[guerin]

Mechanic, worked on a ranch, various other shit.

[unknownmoirai]

I worked on a farm for a year but I'm not sure I'd count that as a job.

Do you have a favorite job?

[guerin]

Don't see why it wouldn't.

No.

[unknownmoirai]

Jobs are very strange.

[No Angel, you're strange.]

[guerin]

How?

[unknownmoirai]

I don't really understand them or what their purpose is.

[She has no concept of money.]

[guerin]

They’re just a means to survival for most people.

[unknownmoirai]

But you can enjoy your work. Can't you?
That seems better.

[guerin]

sometimes when you're lucky.

[unknownmoirai]

I take it that you aren't lucky then?

[She doesn't mean anything bad by it, it's just how it sounds from their previous conversations about work.]

[guerin]

I wouldn't say that exactly. Shit could be worse.

[unknownmoirai]

That is a good way to think of it.
I think.
