Pepper's facial expression dropped, "Ways to make my life sound like crap." She shrugged, flicking off ashes of her cigarette, "Ya know, Is just do what I want, when I want ta."
Pepper adjusted her hat, "And as far as insulting some guy goes, I'm sure he'll get over it."

"See? That's not what I meant. There goes my mouth getting me in trouble again. I just meant that I haven't been around here long and I was wondering what people do for fun," Daisy explained, kicking herself for putting the girl off. "I haven't been able to spend a whole lot of time with people my age. That's what's great about working at McGinty's...the crowds are....interesting."
Daisy ducked her head, tuckinga few strands of hair behind her ear. "And like I said, the thing about the guy was stupid."

"Well, I s'pose there's lots ta do. After all, New York's pretty big," Pepper smirked, "Ya can always head into 'Hattan for a bite to eat at Tibby's or if you're interested in gambling, go ta the Racetrack in Queens."
She shrugged, blowing out a puff of smoke. She never really thought about what there was to do for fun around here.

"I suppose that's true," Daisy agreed with a grin. "I just might do some of those things." Anything to get her away from the tiny apartment she shared with her parents. Anything. "You should really come by McGinty's sometime."

"I'll try to make it around there someday," Pepper sighed, taking one last drag of her cigarette before throwing it's remains on the ground.
"There are just so many exciting things goin' on that occupy my time," she said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes.

"Well if you can manage to squeeze it in...that's where I usually am," Daisy said with a smile.

"Youse a bartender, Im guessin?" Fame asked, chewing the matchstick down to the tip, which she discarded on the ground. She didn't have enough money to support more then one cigarette at a time... usually she only could afford one or two a day and smoked them till she came close to burning herself. When she felt the itch to smoke but couldnt have a cigarette she resorted to her matchsticks. "Or... well, whatever deys call em? Barmaids or somethin?" she asked. That didn't really sound right to her but she went with it.

"Yeah, a barmaid," Daisy said with a smile, she shifted the bundle in her arms. The bundle that contained her wages, the current book she was reading and the precious necklace that belonged to her mother. She considered the job and grinned as she recalled some of the more colorful characters that had stopped by the pub. "I've only been there about a week. Doing what I can to get by."

Fame nodded with a smile, "Aint we all.... well, what yer doin sounds more fun then what Im doing now, anyway. Bein a newsie definatly had more thrills when I was thirteen." she said, rubbing at her shoulder. "Im startin to think I need a new job." she said with a sigh. It would break her heart, not being a newsie and more, but all good things end.

"Too old," Fame said with a smirk. "Somewhere between seventeen and eighteen. I need teh get a life, a real life and a real job." she said, looking to Pepper. She didn't want to further offend the girl as she talked, "Appropriate for my age."

Daisy could sense Fame's sadness and she set a comforting hand on the girl's arm. "We all do what we have to when the time comes. Maybe you'll find something you like better."

Fame nodded, however there weren't many job opportunities for someone like her. She was an older girl, which left her few options.... among them a whore, a seamstress/odd-jobber, a waitress, a housewife. She sighed; none of those sounded like good options to her. "Thanks." she said.

"Sure," Daisy replied. She glanced up at the sky hesitantly, as much as she hated to move on, she knew she should get home. "I shouuld probably be getting home," She mumbled, not really enthusiastic about the idea.

Pepper jerked her head, she had been zoning out for the past couple of moments, "Huh?" She asked, only hearing the last part of what Daisy said, "S'pose I should move along too, got ta grab a bite to eat before I keel over."
