ghostory!

a. she has never seen snow in her life

[While 2B is aware that the sudden winter is artificially generated, it's still something of a marvel to her. Actually experiencing winter. Coming from a world where the planet was tidal-locked, she's never experienced anything aside from a daytime temperate climate. Aimintas had shown her rain and night, and the Hub island showed her a tropical summer and storm. For Shehui, the weather wonder is snow.

And it really is a wonder to her, even if the cold of winter doesn't really affect her much. Having seen a good number of people bundling up in layers and layers of clothing, she appreciates being an android here if only to be spared the inconvenience.

There are a few days where she can be found outside just. Sitting on a bench, looking up at the sky (despite her goggles making it look like she's blindfolded) to watch the snow drift down. For something so simple, you'd think she'd get bored of it, but no, she watches it with the same sort of quiet awe every time. On another day though, her quiet time watching is a bit interrupted as there are a few kids playing in the park in front of her. Throwing snowballs, making snowmen, the works. If you happen to be nearby when they're making snow angels though, she'll turn from her seat to ask you:]

Do you know what they're doing? [She's seen snowballs and snowmen by now, but this is new to her.]

b. happy holidays, you get 2Booty

[It's a good thing the holiday mascot job doesn't really require speaking (or if it does, 2B's employees have frankly given up on getting her to recite the script with any cheer). She doesn't mind being stuck inside a giant reindeer suit, but she doesn't really understand how something like this is supposed to help encourage holiday spirit. Or entice people into buying a store's wares. Even if her employers told her the first part was the most important part, she has a feeling they'd be happier if she was telling people who passed by about their "great deals." That wasn't part of the job description on the board though, so.

Here she is, standing around somewhat stiffly and awkwardly outside a store in a giant reindeer costume. She waves back to kids who wave at her at least, but it's pretty clear from posture alone how confused she is by the job. If you're staring at her in amusement or confusion, well. She'll give a wave back at least.

Although that's not even close to how confused she is once the job's done. Given the suit, she figured coming dressed in her standard uniform would be more of a hassle than not, so she's dressed in only the baby blue t-shirt she got from 9S and her really high-cut leotard. It seemed like the most convenient way of dressing when she knew she'd be stuck in a giant animal suit for hours. Of course, the minute she steps out of the store's dressing room, her employers look. A little shocked. When she gets out of the store, it seems like there isn't a person who passes by that doesn't gawk or slow down to look at her.

And she. Really doesn't get it.]

Maybe it's because I'm not dressed for the weather...?

c. four months in and she's still trying to figure out "fun"

[Because if it doesn't involve fishing, she's frankly at a loss.

Honestly, there's a big part of her that thinks her time would be spent better and more productively at the dozens of jobs she's picked up. On the other hand, she thinks it's become somewhat necessary to expand her ideas and opinions on what counts as fun, if only for when people want to hang out with her. That in itself is still somewhat bizarre to her, but she thinks she should be able to offer more than just taking walks and fishing.

So here she is at the casino/arcade combo, looking somewhat bewildered as she takes in all the games and sights. There's a lot to pick from, which is probably a good thing since that means there's options, but. She doesn't even know where to begin with this.]

Excuse me. [Hope you're ready to spend some time answering questions from an android...] Which of these games would you say is the most fun?

d. WILDCARD ME

[As mentioned above, feel free to message me if you wanna do something else! Or hit me with a prompt of your own, I'm down!!]

Oh, so you were a mascot character?

[ jude cracks a smile. imagining the ever serious 2b walking around in a costume like that is just too much. ]

I suppose that makes sense. Why choose that particular job out of everything else, though?

I've just been taking jobs that I feel I'm capable of doing, so there wasn't a particular reason for picking it.

[The amount of jobs she actually has is probably bordering on absurd, but hey, she can do it so why not??]

But I think you're pretty much capable of anything.

... You think too highly of me. [She's secretly flattered but also YOU'RE TOO MUCH JUDE she's not that cool!!] I can't perform a doctor's job, for example, or specialized jobs like teacher or artisan. There are postings for jobs like those too.
