Um, hello! I'd like some advice. I would have made this anonymous but I know even less about working these devices than I do about my smartphone from home, so I'm sorry about that! I feel like advice is better given in anonymity.

Say you're starting a new form of employment in a new place, and the air around the job is ... a little unsavory. Do you start working without telling anyone, to have a better understanding and personal take on the work itself, or try to come to an understanding of the position with your peers first? I don't think anything is specifically dangerous, it's more of a historical morality issue.

Let me get this straight: Do you start your new job and not tell your friends because they'll judge you or tell them and face their opinion?

If you like the job then screw what anyone else thinks.

what do you mean by 'historical morality'?

That does sound like a predicament.

How do you mean 'unsavory'?

[subject_013]

You'll need to elaborate on what you mean, my dear. Did you take a dishwashing job at a restaurant, only to find your employers are involved with organized crime? Are you working for an apothecary that's a front for a cult?

[virtuosital]

It isn't that I'm afraid they'll judge me, it's that I'm afraid they'll worry.

[virtuosital]

Well, Night Walkers seem to have a bit of... history of being seen as sex workers, and I'm underage.

[virtuosital]

Unsavory was probably not the best word, my fear is that Night Walkers have been historically viewed as similar to sex work. "Unsavory" suggests I think it isn't okay to be in that field, but I more of mean it concerns me due to my age.

[righthemisphere]

Well. That's valid but if you like the job and you're capable then it doesn't really matter what they do. I'm sure you'll prove yourself and then they won't have to worry so it's win/win.

What's the job?

[virtuosital]

It's entirely possible that either of those would be completely fine, actually.
It's that I'm uncertain of common misunderstandings of Night Walkers.

[subject_013]

The former wouldn't be the worst, if they provide some protection. We'll say I'm acquainted with my world of origin's answer to the latter.

I take it there are patrons who confuse 'Night Walker' with 'streetwalker', to put it delicately?

[virtuosital]

I hope so. They're both upperclassmen who have done a lot for me, and I don't want them to feel responsible even now.

I'd like to become a Night Walker, since I'm a gymnast at home and dancing often goes hand in hand with gymnastics.

[virtuosital]

Organized dishwashing crime sounds like something you might see in a television series, actually.

Yes, exactly. I'm a gymnast, so the idea of dance and performance is something I'm familiar with, yet...

[kyley_b]

oh ok yikes yeah.

to further clarify, are you worried what your friends will think, or just total randos?

[righthemisphere]

[Aaaand it all clicks into place. Upperclassmen.. so she's young. Night Walkers.. people automatically assume prostitute. A dancer? Stripper. Mm.. mmhm. Yeah not ideal. But also if she wants to be a stripper then more power to her? He isn't about to tell a woman what to do, no ma'am.]

From what I understand most artists are classed as Night Walkers. I think technically I'm an Architect? But I just fix stuff and have a farm. Things have weird names here. If you want to dance then you should.

[eudaimonikos]

What sort of morality issue?
Is someone actually going to get hurt?

[meds4sale]

Indeed, there is little wrong with such things.

But being a Night Walker is not entirely about that. Or rather, it does not have to be about it at all.

Would you be taking the more artistic route of Night Walker? Or perhaps prefer to lend mental and emotional support?

ALL FORMS OF EMPLOYMENT ARE A LITTLE UNSAVORY SINCE THERE IS USUALLY AN ABUSE OF POWER SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE.

BUT ULTIMATELY IT IS BETTER TO NOT WITHHOLD INFORMATION FROM THE PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT. EVEN IF IT IS UNSAVORY, IF THEY CARE ABOUT YOU, THEY WOULD STILL PROBABLY WANT TO KNOW. AND IT WOULD PROBABLY OPEN UP A CONVERSATIONAL VENUE THAT COULD HELP YOU FIGURE IT OUT A LITTLE BETTER.

Uh.

[stealhearted]

Can you elaborate on historical morality

[virtuosital]

Oh, shoot.

[virtuosital]

Hello, Senpai...,
Um. I'm looking into becoming a Night Walker, since dancing and entertainment are pretty similar to my skills in gymnastics.

[virtuosital]

Goodness, I hope not!
It's more that it seems to be a misunderstanding that Night Walkers can be... Viewed as more personal companions than I realized.

[virtuosital]

That's very true... Though I believe most of what I'd be doing here would be along the lines of independent contracting.

You're right, absolutely... It's just hard to know if it's a choice I should make without letting them know. I've depended on them both so much already.

[virtuosital]

Both, ideally. I have gymnastics experience from home, which lends easily to dancing, but I've been heavily supported by my peers mentally and emotionally in the past, so I'd like to offer what I can to anyone else who may need it.

[virtuosital]

It's more that I've relied on my friends a lot in the past, and I don't want them to feel like they have to be concerned for me if I make this choice.
