(Winter Open) Unfit and Ill-Fitting
Who: Mary Dahl and ANYONE
What: General Open Prompts
When: the month of December
Where: all around town
Warning(s): None at the moment
(The Only One Doing This Group Assignment)
Mary has been assigned to the radio project by Agent Jean. While she knows how to construct crystal radio receivers, since those were a popular activity for kids when she really was a kid, her knowledge on radio transmitters is limited.
She approached Comrade Cecil on Jean's recommendation, but he doesn't know about building radios. She may still recruit him as the face of the project, since he's more likely to be taken seriously by the people she needs to talk to.
As it is, Mary can be found in the library going over the science-related books -- still trying to find out if any information known in this world can fill in the gaps in her own knowledge. She scribbles away in her notebook, often flipping back to earlier sections to consult the information there.
(Overqualified but Surviving)
Mary's current job is working as an assistant in a shop that sells things like perfume and cosmetics. It doesn't pay particularly well, but it covers the rent for her room and cost of her groceries so far.
{OOC: Retail drudgery chosen to explain why she wasn't seen between test drive memes.}
She has other skills. She's just had very bad experiences in trying to branch out from the light comedy that she was known for as "Baby Doll". Dr. West is trying to get Mary to change her mind, and pursue a more fulfilling career as some form of entertainer. But maybe more voices in support of the idea are needed...
Wildcard
Other than the Oak and Iron or the Greymare Library, Mary can be found at Tawny Beach on the days that she isn't working her shop assistant job. Maybe you might catch her doing a dramatic recitation to herself. Or maybe she's quietly exploring the town. Come say hi?

It's a nice effort, even more because it's not his first instinct, but it doesn't quite pierce Mary's melancholy. Still, she'll let him go through her notebooks and point him toward the proper books for any information she missed. Her days of desperately striving for the spotlight are behind her.
"If you need help with building anything, let me know. I have some practice, from back when hobby kits were popular."
You know, back in the 1960s and 70s... (well, Tarantulas probably wouldn't know)

He taps his chin in thought. "Have you ever thought about learning how to weld?" he asks.
no subject
"I'd be glad to help," she replies. At his question, though, she laughs.
"Can you imagine me in an industrial setting? I would have been too scared to pay attention to any lessons. But why do you ask?"
no subject
"Just curious," Tarantulas replies, making a mental note to show Mary his welding pen later. His hands aren't that much bigger than hers, and if he can get her assembling the transmitters as well as the receivers the work will go so much faster. "I look forward to working together."
