Looking for Work (in all the wrong places)? (open at all)

[alisa_lebeau_v3]

Physical Therapy has been grueling as of late, and with her work just not being as fulfilling as it once had been, Alisa thought perhaps a change could be in her best interest. She was tired of feeling listless during art authentications for the rich and famous (despite the pay it gave her), and her heart hurting every time she saw Alistaire (who refused to let her go for some reason or another). She was currently waiting to hear back from the Guild elders and those higher up in the Enforcer branch on a certain situation that came up, and the stress was getting to her.

Before her on the desk was a long list of people who she could inquire about jobs. Oddly enough, the top of the list had the Xavier School on there. They did save her life, and she truly was grateful to them. Perhaps asking for the ability to work for them as an art instructor would help her find that missing piece. Another name on the list was Sebastian Shaw, but she feared he would not even listen to her, not after what she told him.

She lifted the receiver on her office phone and began to dial up the Xavier Institute. This made her just as nervous as when she helped Alistaire raid the Hellfire Club. Her back pushed up against her plush chair as she awaited for someone to pick up.

Re: Next Name on the List

"The Shaw name is no longer any of your concern." Sebastian replied. "I will be contacting Alistaire immediately regarding the affair. You will not resist or try to convince him to defy my will. Any attempt to do so will end poorly for you.

Second chances are a rare and precious privilege. You have done nothing to earn such an honour."

And then the line went dead. If Alisa tried to call again, she would get nothing, not a busy signal, not a disconnection, just complete dead silence.

She could not speak fast enough to convince him to let her remain at Alistaire's side. The phone was dead and there was no point in her calling him back. She just listened to the busy signal for a few moments before letting the phone drop from her hand. She just lost her most important job, the one she was most loyal to, and that had tainted her name. No doubt Shaw would also go as far as to make her nearly unemployable by anyone for that matter. As far as Alisa LeBeau knew, her life was just over.

"Great... gonna be de laughin' stock o' de Guilds, an' probably kicked outta de Enforcer's branch. Probably gonna end up in an arranged marriage like de others... fuck." She finally hung up the phone and looked at the last name on her list. "Stephanie Shaw.... well, I'm fucked all around, ain' I."
