every color can be found

Things've been rough, haven't they? I didn't get caught up in the worst of the curses we've had lately; I'm sorry for those who have.

Anyway... a lot of people have been leaving, too, which means the Welcome Center and the Youth Center are both seriously short-staffed. This probably isn't the best time to send out a call for workers, but there's never a good time when you're getting hit with curse after curse, you know? I'm not giving the Youth Center the attention it deserves, so I'm also looking for someone to help out over there. It'd be a big time commitment, but the pay's not bad and it's not a hard job.

So... if you're looking for a job, I can find one for you.

[A tired sigh.]

I wish Euphie and Derek Morgan were still around to help. Yin, too... she was getting really good at greeting people. And if I could bring back Dean, Stephen, Curt, Jenny, Sophie, Toph--but they're probably happier where they are, and I wouldn't want to take that away from them. I hope they're happy, and I hope that hoping for their happiness counts when they're all in different dimensions and they don't remember the City. At least they're remembered, and that's something.

[Sniff. Shut up, it's allergies.]

Sorry. Late night... rambly stuff. Back on topic. Jobs: if you want one, don't be afraid to get in touch with me.

And if you're newish to the City and haven't been by the Welcome Center, we're right off the center square. The Youth Center's down about a block; anyone who's too young to live alone or just wants company can get a room there. We've got food and spare clothes at both locations, and if you ever need anything at all, just head to the Welcome Center and ask for Penny.

[A pause, some shuffling...]

Is it raining...?

[...and end audio message.]

So... um. I'm sure most everyone's noticed by now, but Derek Morgan left the City.

[There is a pause. If silence could speak, this particular silence would say, "And that sucks. A lot."]

That means the Youth Center doesn't have a keeper and no one's teaching self-defense classes anymore. Is there anyone out there who'd be interested in taking that over? The classes, I mean. It doesn't pay, but it comes with the fuzzy feeling of knowing that you're helping a bunch of people learn to protect themselves. As one of those people who were learning, I'd really, really appreciate it if someone could pick them up.

Contact me here if you're interested, I guess?

Also, is there someone named Mercy out there? I don't know about you, but I got a note when Derek left and it looks like we're looking after the Youth Center. That's cool with me, I'd just like to meet you. Maybe share notes... figure out how to work this, you know.

...That's about all I know, City. Business as usual, right?
