Sometimes, the best way to fit in was to stand out. It was a good look on Amelia, even if it was a rare opportunity. She waves a hand dismissively and leans back on the bench. “Go ahead. I’m sure she’d feel left out otherwise.”
Ty shrugs and leans to appreciate the back of the outfit as Amelia inspects herself in the memory. “Just seems fitting for you.”
It’s a lengthy process, and it takes effort to balance Amelia’s sensibilities with Ty’s and with practicality and with every other factor. She’s hoping it won’t take too much longer, but she’s prepared to do this for as long as it takes to find the right outfit. Even with her… +
Being a Hand was dangerous, and it afforded one little place for liability; but Ty was always one for pushing her boundaries. With things to plan, she stands and chooses against tossing her cup into the trash, instead making her way over and dunking it in personally with a… +
Ty shrugs and finishes her water off, continuing to hold the cup gingerly. By this point, she and Amelia had tossed favors back and forth without worrying about the final tally; the rare benefit of having an actual friendship. Flexing her free hand, she inspects her nails as… +
She rests her chin on the top of her hand and her head follows the disc as it flies through the air and misses. Besides a quick smirk, she decides not to tease Amelia too much about as she turns back. “Perfect. I’ll get the job set up and then we can go shopping. I’ll pay.”
They all had their quirks, their hangups, their problems; that was how the company liked them. Made them easier to control and exploit. "I can always help you pick something out, if you want. Otherwise... Mara knows you best, I'm sure she can help." Ty flashes her a teasing... +
"Of course it will be, but I know you can multitask." There was no one on the planet Ty fully trusted with her life, but Amelia certainly got the closest; if nothing else, she got a feeling that if she died, they'd die together. She smiles at Amelia conspiratorially. +
It proved Ty's point expertly, which is why she resolved to mention it the moment she noticed it. "Perfect. In that case, I look forward to it. We could both use a minor break."
She nods enthusiastically. "It's a small favor to ask." Really, she might not even need to call in any old favors; a bottle of brandy and some fluttered eyelashes in the right direction would probably get this sorted before the afternoon was out. "Plus, it'll be worth it if... +
Ty took another sip and shrugged. She'd never had a choice; whether it was this company or another, she'd've been raised in these games from the start. She needed to know how to play them with her eyes closed or she'd wind inevitably up dead in an unmarked grave just out of... +
"You work hard. They just think you're unambitious. In a situation like this, that can be a good thing." It was a fine line to walk in a cutthroat corp like this. Too much ambition and you make waves, step on toes, and make yourself a liability; too little and you look lazy, ...+
