Uh-huh.

Okay, well, she'll get fun practice. Whee.

She will! Also since she's gonna work with this she'll need to go through commercial driving lessons.

Yep. Okay, uh, do they have any idea how long this is going to take…?

Well, given that she used to drive on Earth, couple weeks at most.

Great.

And so about ten days later she has a shiny new driver's license.

She also has some stuff for her apartment! A few small things. And she passed her driving test, so, woo.

She might have a small party but, like, no friends, and no money with which to do it, and her lodgings are not the nicest, so, yep, no party.

Her weird Sideways-y feelings don't follow her anywhere, anymore, but she starts getting some nuance from other feelings—ones she either didn't have or never realized she had before. They follow her whenever she talks to anyone, and give her some intuition for what they're like and what they want. They follow her into unfamiliar situations, and they're like alarm bells of various flavors telling her to pay attention to this or that.

… She's not bad with people, but she's not really used to guessing this much about them.

And then it's her first day of work.

She arrives bright and early, or, y'know, whatever – depends on the weather for how bright it is.

She is however feeling prepared for her first day! (She thinks.)

Here's her car and the taxi app, does she have a map app? Here, have three. Go forth and drive.

Sure!

She spends a few minutes getting acquainted with the map apps – redundancy is probably useful, and she doesn't want to be learning how the app works when she actually needs to use it – and then looks at the taxi app!

They recommend she also just drive around, some people won't use the app.

She will do that too! There are probably standard locations people wait for taxis as well as, like, people just hailing taxis…

Indeed! But she'll probably have to figure those out on her own.

Are there any bus loops? Typically taxis can be found near bus loops.

There indeed are!

And any people looking for taxis if she drives into it…? Or clear taxi stops, sometimes those are present.

She feels like she really should have had a better information pack than this but whatever.

See, the problem with an information pack is that the City is not constant enough for it to be worth it. Downtown's more stable but even there a new zig can be added to the Zag whenever.

Here is, however, someone who needs a taxi.

She pulls up and lets them in!

"Hello."

It's a harried-looking woman. "Yes, hello, good morning." Got up late, most like. Harried, has places to do and things to be, but is doing good work. More worried than strictly needs to be. "Can you go to this address, please?" And she shows Rachel a piece of paper with said address.

"Sure!"

Map app?

Map app! Lots of zigzagging.

Thrilling!

She pays careful attention to the road and the directions both.
