walk beside me evermore

[intohell]

Who: Riza Elizabeth and anyone who wants to help (or needs help) with the whole technology thing
What: Not everyone is from a time and place with computers. Plus the library offers some great opportunities for research.
When: any day between 1/28 and 1/31
Where: the local library
Warnings:None


Open: Pity the tech challenged
[If she was going to get a decent job, one that would help not only pay the bills but put her closer to her goals, she was going to have to rely on her previous skill sets. Somehow she doubted anyone had a use for a sniper which meant updating her office skills.

There was only one way to do that which meant she was going to put in as many hours as possible using the city's library branches. She'll get it eventually, but any help from those not likely to judge would always be appreciated.]


Open: Information Gathering 101
[Not all of her time spent at the library is confined to the computers. Why waste a perfectly good resource of information?

The number of books was amazing, but those could be read at home. It's the magazines, both legit and tabloid varieties that have her attention most of the time.]

Do people actually believe this stuff?

[She's almost certain it's 90% fake, but who knows.]


Closed
[After several days, Riza's learned enough that it's easy enough to blend into the usual crowd of people doing their thing at the library without looking out of place. She still comes to practice, fill out job applications, and scour the internet for information regarding a certain missing individual. All perfectly normal things if the activities of the others around her are to be taken into account.

It's almost too easy to find things. Internet fan sites and general publicity meant she didn't have to look very far before getting more information than she could have hoped for. Also, who kidnaps and brainwashes a person but leaves them with their real name?

Of course, she's not going to act on any of that just yet. She had enough experience with this kind of thing to know better. Even without Silver and Gold's warning, Riza knew they weren't in any position to move forward. She'd stay away until the time was right.

Of course, the best-laid plans oft go awry.]

((ooc: feel free to swap to prose if wanted, I'll follow. also, PM or hit me up at purkle if you want something specific. or just start it and I'll roll.))

It's been a while since I've had to worry about getting a job. But it shouldn't be too hard now that I've had lots of lessons and practice with the computers.

[She sounds mostly optimistic about it.]

[invisiballman]

I've been lucky in that regard. I was able to find a job quite quickly.

[He closes the magazine he was reading and sets it back on the shelf.]

Although I'm still working on living arrangements.

[intohell]

Looks like we've got reversed problems. I lucked into a place after helping the owner with a problem, but it was with the understanding that I would be able to pay them after I got established here.

[That could be useful though.]

Maybe we could help each other out.

[invisiballman]

I would certainly appreciate any help I could get. Someone did allow me to sleep on their couch for a few days, but I can't do that much longer.

[Usagi's house is fairly crowded as it is.]

Ah, I would have to bring my dog though.

[It's only fair to mention that before she makes any offers.]

[intohell]

[He might be stuck on the couch to start with considering it's a small apartment; however, with the two of them there's no reason they couldn't afford a two bedroom soon enough.]

Oh, what kind of dog?

[invisiballman]

[Kuroko is fine with the couch. He's fine with any scenario that doesn't involve sleeping outside.]

He's a stray so I can't be sure, but he looks a lot like a black shiba inu. He's very well behaved though.

[intohell]

[Kuroko you just hit the jackpot.]

It shouldn't be a problem. I have one at home.

[That she's been pretty much missing since day one because it's been awhile since she's had an empty apartment to herself. Riza grabs a piece of scrap paper from one of the tables and scribbles out the address.]

Here. Come by later and check things out before making a decision. We can go from there.

[invisiballman]

Ah, I see. They make very charming pets, don't they?

[It had taken barely a minute and little wagging tail for the Seirin team to adopt Tetsuya #2 as their mascot. Kuroko takes the slip of paper with a small smile.]

I will, thank you.

[He's already made up his mind to accept if she'll allow it though. He can't keep crashing at Usagi's place. It's too much trouble for her roommates.]
