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.

The driver knew some shortcuts, so it helped.

[It was nice to visit Naples, Peace agreed with her uncle. But the Gregory family was almost hilariously wealthy, and sometimes - in order to ensure she was not kept for ransom or otherwise - it paid to make sure that her safety was paramount. And sometimes that meant going through means that were less than savory.

But, Bucciarati and his team came with high praise. So, she paid the upfront cost in cash and followed the host into the secluded area. She's barely twenty, and short. At five feet tall, Bruno would tower over her. Even more pointedly, she makes sure not to wear heels that wouldn't help if she needed to escape quickly, but a pair of sensible ballerina flats and a butter-yellow designer sundress patterned with green vines around the hem.

Otherwise, she is very pale-skinned, with palest blue eyes and crimson red hair. She's built like an hourglass. If an hourglass was really small. Peace knows that logically, she should be cautious and careful. After all, despite the good recommendation, there's very little stopping Peace from being kidnapped here and kept for ransom.

And considering the amount of ghosts wandering the streets... Well, she'd prefer not to join their numbers.]

I'm not hungry, no, but I wouldn't say no to an espresso. So, if you're hungry, by all means order. It's really nice to meet you!
