[ 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.

[ Become not so grump. ]

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

[whiteas]

Sure, after missing out on half of my life.

[starcharted]

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.

[whiteas]

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

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

[text]

[starcharted]

Does that mean you'll be looking?

[text]

[whiteas]

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

[text]

[starcharted]

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

[text]

[whiteas]

I don't know.

[text]

[starcharted]

No?

I suppose there's nothing I can do to convince you then.

[text]

[whiteas]

Who are you anyway?

[text]

[starcharted]

Goodness, I'm so sorry. I get carried away quite easily. John. Call me John.

[whiteas]

Weiss.

[ It was short, curt, but she was a little upset right now. At least he seemed nice enough.. she almost felt bad for yelling at him via text.

[text]

[starcharted]

That's a very pretty name. Is it German by chance?

[ You should feel bad. He just wants 2 b ur frand. ]

[text]

[whiteas]

I'm of German descent. My last name is Schnee.

[text]

[starcharted]

The name sounds a touch familiar, actually. That's curious, isn't it?

1[text]

[whiteas]

Not really. My family's company, Schnee Company, does everything from electricity to toothpaste.

2[text]

[starcharted]

I believe I did look at the back of a tube of toothpaste once when I was bored. Yes, that must be it! Goodness, what a small world we live in.

3[text]

[whiteas]

Anything with that snowflake-like logo is a Schnee Company product.

[ Small world.. they're in prison, of course it's a small world. ]

4[text]

[starcharted]

Oh! I definitely remember that. I'm always a fan of a good logo. That one was quite exceptional if I recall.

5[text]

[whiteas]

Of course it is, it's my family's.

6[text]

[starcharted]

Does that mean I can call you the snowflake girl?

[whiteas]

Absolutely not!

[starcharted]

No? I thought that was an excellent nickname. Well, we'll just have to think of another!
