1 [@dodger//video]
Getting pretty crowded on floor 4... damn.
[This is the first time a lot of people have seen Dodger - he tends to stick to audio-only responses, and doesn't spend too much time on the network in the first place. But he is a man dictated mostly by impulse, and impulse says that he may as well do a video. Maybe people will be more open with a face to put to his name. Even if it's as scarred-up and creepy as his.
Dodger's room is currently lit only by the desk lamp he's sitting next to, and jars full of fireflies hung by strings and tacks from the walls ( much like fairy lights). They're segregated by color, and one would guess they've been there a while from how they wander complacently along the glass. If one squints, they may be able to see all the beer bottles on his floor - he's generally tidy, but apparently not when it comes to his drinking habit.]
Figure I should get to know a few more people, since this dorm place is filling up and the damn crying festival is winding down. Name's Dodger, I'm a mechanic, I collect bugs. Not in general, just got a liking for these little freaks - I'll pay a dollar per bug if anyone feels like finding me a few more. Anyone who wants to step up and tell me what kinda job and hobbies you got, start some sorta friendly exchange... I could use the company.
And get your 'dodger' jokes out of the way before you reply. Artful, jammy, baseball, all that shit - don't wanna hear it.

Should work fine - feel free to bring it back if it's still acting up, I can try figuring out a more long-term solution. [He offers her a smirk.] And listen, I'll make you a deal of a lifetime. I'll fix up anything you bring me for free, if you let me buy you a drink sometime.

[ A slender brow arches up. He's going to regret this deal. She's bad drinking company, and a worse romantic prospect... but she does know a good deal when she sees one. ]
Oui, mon choupinet, how could I say no? [ She leans to pluck up the mine, and swiftly it disappears into the pouch it had come from. ] But you should know I have expensive tastes.

[He offers an easy shrug; it's a simple deal on his end, getting a shot at a beautiful woman and also getting to tinker with weapons in his free time. Even learn about her skillset from a hands-on perspective, no matter which way it goes.]
Just name a time and place, I'll make sure you go home satisfied.

I have only just arrived, no? You must think I move so quickly, learning a new world. [ She can think of three places already that would suit her tastes, actually. But that doesn't make this part any less his job. ] See to the details, and pick well. You know how to reach me.
[ And already she's turning and striding for the door, aiming to draw their meeting to a close. ]
