Jobs, or, I should really be in bed

I got to thinking about this tonight when I realized that Zoë, as a Seven, probably has a job and I didn't really have any idea what that was (it's investment and disbursement management in the Heart finance office now, with her working in the same department as an analyst as a Four through Six. FEAR FOR THE WINE BUDGET CEIRO No, of course she'd never dream of being vindictive.) Elisha is, obviously, in charge of espionage and intelligence for the Clubs. Ben is the Diamond Castle handyman, and Urania, on top of being professionally delusional, is an astronomer and cartographer.

I know for some of the Cards, it's explicitly stated: Mel is in charge of the communal stables, Itchy is the Deck doctor, but for those who aren't Face Cards or Aces, what do you see your Cards doing in the Deck? Professional badass is an acceptable answer.

Tagged plot because I have no idea, seriously.

Professional badass is Sieben's job.

Also fashion consultant if you dare at least for the Spades, because he'd never take that job away from his fashion BFF Adrien.

Commenting SEPARATELY, because I CAN, like a BOSS.

Dafydd is at present a cog, or possibly a spring, in Elisha's espionage and intelligence machine, but his day job when he was a lower Number was working in the Clubs' armory, keeping swords sharp and properly balanced and looking after the historical armors that never get used anymore. He's too busy for it now, but he tries to stop in every so often to make sure his replacements are doing it right.

Adrien: Court Historian~ and sexy beast fashion consultant ruiner of good days for all straight men

Suzanne: PSYCHIATRIST. duh.

Karola: I'm thinking she was a tutor type a long time ago? Like, a teacher in schools before coming to the Deck? Now she's just a grandma (lies, she actually doesn't have any kids). Who will tell anyone about German history if they ask her.

Blythe: Professional Derping-Around-Person WOW this is a hard question. Um. She probably. Runs. Some. Important shit? holp.

Blythe is,,,um, I would have no idea, actually. I'm amazed I came up with something for Zoe. Maybe she....assists the Jack? In official duties? Or something?

Ihavenoideasorry.

She does anything important that the Face Cards tell her t'do. She'd barely be out of college if she wasn't in the Deck... so it makes sense that she doesn't have a legitimate job?

Cynthia: She's a baker and a chef, specifically for desserts and event preparation. She's going to have fun with all of the parties!

Hunter: Er. He's a thug. A higher placed thug, at a Five, but he loves being a bully and pushing people around. NICE GUY THAT.

Noelle: ... she does financial stuff for the Diamonds AND YES THAT IS WHAT HER JOB IS CALLED.

Iota: She. Writes down. Everything that happens EVER.

Vince: Asshole Douche .... He is here to flirt with your ladies and 'borrow' your stuff.

Milo is a psych too. Derf.

Leigh... Leigh nominally works in the kitchens, but mostly has to strong-armed into studying.

Helena: ...Jack? Is this a proper vocational description???

Caitlyn: teacher and Vincent's mistress...
and Valentine... is too young for work. She's a student. A really bad one.

I had to write that....Sorry :D

Taggig from phone oh yeah.

Ceiro- KING. Thats all.
Pip- former lawyer, researcher, nursemaid for damion, and whatever else people say.
Leon- uh no idea.
Victor- i think of him as a cleaner of sorts. He takes care of problems that could be bad for the suit or deck if not handled. Promptly. And deadly. Uh otherwise he is just that guy in julien's pocket.

[identity profile] cipherspeak.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 01:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Leon makes sure that Elisha's drill sergeant skills stay sharp!

And keeps the pubs in business.

[identity profile] hisnursemaid.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. And Yes.

However, I am certain he has like...a real profession. Of sorts. I don't think there is such a job as 'professional drunk'.

[identity profile] intotherough.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Something about Leon says administrative to me. Not, like, secretary, but likewise, I can't see him managing the Club Stables.

[identity profile] ratherberiding.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Just this look to the idea of Leon near horses.

Sophie here will be the Diamonds Librarian. I figure the castles must have extensive libraries. Someone has to keep them in order and preserve things.

Jubilee...Um, professional Mirror Holder and People Poker?

Maggie...She's semi-retired. I imagine she's sent outside a lot to do things for the Hearts. Unofficially? She's never stopped being a spook. No idea if any other Heart does that, so if they do, she does it on her own. Someone needs to look after the poor dears.

Monty...avoids work as best he can. Seriously, I see him as doing a lot of grunt work right now, which is not where he wants to be. He's approached Elisha and been approached by others to be more of a an information *cough*spy*cough* gatherer.

I worked in Special Collections for two years while in college. Sophie is uncomfortable around people, so I wanted to give her someplace quiet and hidden away.

For seriousness? I'm going to grad school for that next year!

I've... Kinda always wondered what those librarians do. I'm still waffling on life after uni and all that.

Yer spiffy ♥

[identity profile] lowtohigh.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I know she's an Ace. But Eileen is also a Professional Badass. In Training. :|

Cadogan I actually know is the Head of Armory Maintenance for the Diamonds.

And Evan is a transaction broker for largely off-Deck arrangements.

She will kick ass in at least five languages.

Welsh-run armories FTW. Except Dafydd isn't in charge. But if he hadn't been conscripted by Elisha found other employment he totally would be.

[identity profile] fallenpips.livejournal.com 2011-10-06 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm slow.

Isadore is the keeper of the Spade armory as well as swordwoman extraordinaire. Itchy's the doc. Feste's a Joker.
