THE ON-DUTY MEME



We're all used to playing our characters in special circumstances--sharing a bath, AUed into a robot, in the rain, lost in the ball pit (well that's one way to get your extra hour)...but how often do we get to actually play our characters doing their day jobs?

This meme is for just that.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Write a starter about your character going about their day at work, wherever that may be.

If your character is a doctor, write them checking in on a patient, or having a meal in the hospital cafeteria. If they're a lawyer, write them at court. If they're a professional ghost-hunter? Yeah, that'd be a pretty neat starter too!

Be sure to include some sort of hook that allows other characters to join in the action, even if your character works alone. Maybe they brought their pile of research out to a cafe? Maybe they need help with something?

2. Respond to other characters' starters. Please tag out if you put a starter up. I know I can't enforce this, but no meme goes anywhere if people don't engage.

3. Thread. Have a good day at work, or perhaps an awful day at work.

Si, esattamente. The club has had problems recently with a gang of street thugs stirring up trouble. Not only are they chasing off good customers, they're getting physical with the other girls.

[The expression on her face makes her distaste clear. While she can defend herself reasonably well, as a vampire, most of the other employees, especially the waitresses and dancers, are completely normal human women.]

We had hoped it might be possible to hire protection from your men for long enough to ensure the safety of our workers and guests.

[To be completely honest, she sort of hopes the mafia will take offense to this gang operating in their territory and will act more definitively than just offering a few men for protection, but that is a lot to ask for. Better to set her sights low to start with.]
