[open] Downtown Republic City

[lifescratched]

[Connor arrived in Republic City a day ago, so while he isn't as clueless as he was when he first arrived, he's still at something of a loss. Things are so different in this time: the satomobiles and airships still make him jumpy, and the sheer amount of people in the city are overwhelming. So far Varrick had shown him kindness by helping him, but Connor didn't want to rely on a fellow tribesman's generosity for too long, no matter how wealthy they happened to be.

So, even though he's still very much unfamiliar with the city, he's looking for a job when construction listings advertised catch his eye in a window.]

"Must be good at working with heights"... [He turns and cranes his head at the dizzyingly high skyscrapers, considering. Even with his climbing abilities, these were higher than anything he'd ever scaled.] Perhaps it could be a worthwhile challenge.

[ Jin leaned in close to him with a big smile on her face. ]

We'll you're already miles taller than me, so heights shouldn't be a problem at all, right?

[ She might have been eavesdropping. ]

[Connor actually looks slightly embarrassed by that, although it was true. He's taller than a lot of people.]

I do not think personal height matters in construction.

[No, he isn't very good with jokes.]

[ She covers up a giggle and smiles up at him. ]

I guess you're right. Although I'm sure it helps you reach high spots in the building work, right?

[lifescratched]

I suppose it would...

[He seems to be seriously considering that. Do they hire people based on height, here? Who knows how serious she's being, so much of this place is still unfamiliar to him.]

[gainedacoupon]

But that's not to say you wouldn't be just as good at jobs for smaller heights too.
