[It's Evangeline! She's not wearing the flower she usually wears in her hair.]

Job searching seems to be a pretty popular topic here, so here's a related question: how do you write a resume and describe your skills and work experience without sounding violently unhinged?

Like I was thinking of applying to be a garbage collector, because I'm used to cleaning up dead bodies and have a high tolerance for bad smells from that. And at home 'experience with handling corpses' would be a perfectly reasonable thing to put on a job application, but I get the impression that it might be kind of a red flag here?

-Also, if you don't have any advice on that, then tell me which of these supernatural accessories says 'promising employee candidate' to you.

[She holds up a red flower with roots in one hand and a... headband of golden eyes? in the other. The look of the eyes might be familiar to people who read her last post.]

I could wear them both, and I usually would at home, but for a job interview I'm a little less concerned about power and a little more concerned about fashion.

It's true that many people in this world are kind. It's just that -- sometimes kindness is harder to find than not.

[abnormalizes]

That's true, but I meant more that - Jean is someone I can understand and relate to, when this world is weird to both of us. Of course I'd want to be nice to him.

[meliorated]

... I can understand that. We're drawn to those who we feel we can relate to.

[abnormalizes]

Yeah. This world... it's nice, it's a lot nicer than home, but it's hard to get used to when it's so different from what I know.

[meliorated]

You're right. It's almost as though you're adapting to a new life entirely.

Even if it's nicer and more peaceful... Saying that you can feel culture shock from it all is an understatement.

[abnormalizes]

Do you ever feel like you don't belong here, or is that just me?

[meliorated]

It's not just you, but... Is that strange? We're in a new world entirely.

[abnormalizes]

You have a point, but... They could have brought anyone here. Maybe someone better suited for this kind of life than me.

[meliorated]

Even so, they brought you here. There's someone who has faith in the fact that you'll be able to help.

But... I know what it feels like not to fit in. Sometimes... it just takes someone else to help you feel encouraged to keep going.

[abnormalizes]

I hadn't thought of it that way.

Thank you. You've given me something to think about.

[meliorated]

It's a mutual feeling. You've given me a lot to think about, too.
