Week Five - Tuesday - Eagle Nest
Who: Grace, Max, Pixie
Where: The Casino
When: Tuesday morning, Week 5
Why: Getting a job
Rating: PG 13, for Max's inevitable swearing

Things were getting tight for Grace and Max. She had found work doing odd jobs around Eagle Nest, but nothing steady. Unfortunately, steady was what you needed when caring for someone else. Max was the only family she had, thanks to whatever had caused her amnesia. Though Kai had told her about her blood relatives, they were strangers, lost to her now. She had no way of reaching them, and wouldn't abandon Max even if she did. So she held her head high and took care of him the best way she could. She needed a real job to do it, however. The random jobs weren't cutting it.

She and Max went to breakfast that morning at the Buffalo Bar. Luckily she could pay for his breakfast with the money from her last job. She had ulterior motives for going there, of course. She wanted to ask around, see if she could find a job waitressing, or at the casino. Everyone looked busy at the bar, so she would ask when she returned.

"Kid, stay here, eat your breakfast. I'm going to run over to the Casino, okay?"
"But Grace-!"
"I'll be right back, calm down. Just finish eating and then I'll meet you outside."

She ran out and toward the Casino. It wasn't too crowded for the hour. Most people were sleeping it off, she supposed. Stepping inside, she took a deep breath, determinedly thinking, "Here goes nothing."

Pixie was glad to be at the Casino now. But after the weekend's happenings, she was still worried for her kids. An outsider had been that close to her kids and the thought terrified her. But for now, things were taken care of and Pumpkin was helping around the hotel and staying out trouble.

Adjusting to different working times was another issues completely. Which was why Pixie was on her third cup of coffee that morning. When she saw a lovely woman walk into the Casino, she flashed a welcoming smile and walked over to introduce herself. "Good morning. I'm Pixie. How can I help you?" she asked cheerfully.

"Hey, I'm Grace," The other woman told Pixie. She hoped she'd come to the right place. She knew it was run by the Lost Girls, but maybe they were shorthanded. Maybe they wouldn't mind having her involved. "Actually, I'm probably the only other person in Eagle's Nest not here to gamble. I was wondering, do you know who I could talk to about a job? Are you guys looking, by any chance?"

Max didn't like leaving Grace alone. They were all the other had in this crazy world. He had taken it upon himself to look after Ellen died. She didn't even remember who she was, she needed looking out for. He decided to follow her to the Casino, whether she liked it or not. He hung back though, waiting for Grace to talk to the pretty woman with the nice smile.
