[ Weiss has come to the realization that she doesn't want to do any of the jobs that are offered, she fully intends to keep going to school, but she needs to find a way to get some CP coming in. So she's come up with a plan that she's hoping will work out at least a little. ]

If any of you are still going to school and you need help, I'm a straight A student and I'm offering my services for tutoring. I'm discounting the price since I'm sure I'm not the only one strapped for CP here. I can also help with fencing or vocal training, though those will be a little pricier. I can do nails too, but only manicures. I'm not going near anyone's feet.

Here's a price table.

Tutoring (Any Subject)	1,500CP/Hr.
Fencing Training	25,000CP/Week
Vocal Training	12,500CP/Hr.
Manicures	2,500CP/Treatment

If you purchase a whole month of Fencing in advance, I'll take 25% off of the price for your first month. No refunds.

Of course. Being in prison doesn't negate good manners.

No, but being a criminal might.

Depends on what kind of criminal you are, I think. Or if you're even one at all.

I'm not one but chances are that not everyone here got framed.

I think you'd be surprised by just how many people don't belong here.

Statistically, I don't think so.

Statistics can only tell so much. Numbers never give you the full story. They don't take individuality into account. They're much too frigid for that.

That doesn't change that there are a lot of people who don't deserve to be on the streets.

I hadn't meant to imply otherwise. I don't think anyone deserves to be at this place in particular, though.

Of course everyone doesn't, but I'd rather not trust anyone than trust the wrong people again.

Again?

I'm in here aren't I?

Oh, that is true. Yes, I suppose that explains the "again".

[ The first people she thought were actually being her friends ended up being a part of some extremist group and framed her. She's a little wary. ]

Of course it does.

[ Don't be such a grump Weiss. The Doctor will be your bestest friend! ]

That's probably a sore subject. I apologize.

[ Grump is her natural state of being. ]

It's not going away by being here.

[ Become not so grump. ]

Look on the bright side. You'll be out before you know it.

Sure, after missing out on half of my life.

You shouldn't look at it that way. Putting a positive spin on things never hurts.

I've spent my entire life trying to be perfect so that I could be worthy of my family name. I never had friends, I never had anyone to talk to, and the first time that I find someone who wants to be my friend they turn out to be filthy, worthless fiends who just wanted to use me and frame me for their own misdeeds against my own family. My father disowned me so I couldn't get a halfway decent lawyer and I ended up here. I've seen shows for this place before, it's the worst place possible to end up. All I have to look forward to here is living with the worst scum on the planet and wondering if the people who are claiming they're in the same situation as me are liars too. Then when I get out, I don't have anything to go back to.

Tell me where the positive spin on that is.

[ ... wow. He had really made her mad. ]


I was scared too, you know. When I first came here. But do you know what I've learned in life? There are good people everywhere. Every single place you go. Sometimes that person is only you, but often it isn't. You will find someone you can trust again. There is always hope, even in the gravest circumstances.

You'll be the first to know if I find one.

[ That is to say, she definitely doubts it. ]

Does that mean you'll be looking?

No. It means that if it happens, I'll try not to assume the worst.

Ah, then you do concede that it's possible.
