"...if you don't describe yourself as one how do you find somebody who has the other one?" asks Jackson.

"Most people do both, or you could seek out someone at a different rank than you and figure they'd be doing the same thing in the other direction if you didn't like using match makers or speed dating or anything."

"Most people are switches on your planet?" says Brian.

"In my culture, at least; the other classes all seem to do relationships a bit differently from each other."

"Wow. I guess that sounds... sort of convenient?" Brian says. "For the switches, anyway."

"What if you're whatever the highest rank is, and you're a sub?" asks Jackson.

She shrugs. "There's matchmakers. I've never used one, but I'm young enough it'd be a bit weird if I did."

"Huh," says Jackson. "Uh, what are you gonna... do, here?"

"...I'm not sure. Find a way to support myself, find out what from this world would be useful but not dangerous to import to mine, try to reinvent interdimensional travel?"

"I don't know how you'd tell an eclipsed job agency you have shibari powers," Jackson says.

"...shibari powers?" says Brian.

"Or whatever you said."

She snorts. "Depends on if job agencies are the only possibility."

"It's how I got my job," says Jackson, "I don't know how else you'd do it. If you want a magic job and not, uh, a carwash or something."

She nods. "Does anyone do like... Networking? Knowing people who have similar jobs."

"But I should also be able to just explain my abilities to an agency, or demonstrate some..."

"That might work, yeah. Uh, there aren't that many eclipsed but I know some from school?"

She nods. "Would you mind introducing me?"

"We're not really... friends, but I can dig up some emails..."

"I'll make it up to you, if it's inconvenient," she says.

"It's not really inconvenient just - socially awkward," says Jackson. He produces his phone and, while intermittently nibbling candied nuts out of a bowl on the table, sends some emails.

She... Hovers socially awkwardly! Wow everyone in this room is very talented at being socially awkward, aren't they.

Brian doesn't seem very awkward! He starts collecting dinner dishes.

"Okay," says Jackson eventually, "I sent some school people an email."

"Thanks."

Jackson's phone bleeps at him after not too long. "Isabella wants to know what kind of unusual powers, what should I tell her?"

"Well if nothing else I can put most non-living things into interdimensional pockets anchored to pieces of paper, which can be very trivially transported, but I have to be on the other side to get them back out. I can effectively indefinitely store all non-magical hazardous materials I know about. I can prevent people from using my native magic system, but I'd have to experiment to see how easily that is to adapt to yours - you mentioned new eclipsed being dangerous? The thing I'd make to prevent someone from using my magic is anchored a piece of paper you can stick to their forehead and pull off when you don't need their powers locked down, which might be more convenient than whatever you're using now. Depending on why new eclipsed are dangerous, I might be able to help address that, too."

"I can sense magic use from my native system. I don't know if that applies here. And I can amplify some types of magic use, too, but same problems as with the lock-down - I'd have to experiment here."

"My medical powers might have advantages yours doesn't - I need to touch people to heal them, but I can affect what I'm counted as 'touching,' which, with some set up, lets me heal people at a distance or very large groups of people. I can also keep going with healing for very long times if I need to - my world had a continent-scale disaster a few years ago, and I ended up healing large groups of people near constantly for over three days without stopping to sleep."

"Can anybody stick the paper to them?" Jackson asks, typing.

"It's possible, but it'll depend on what I end up working out - it needs to be activated each time and I could make one that self activates, but I don't know if I'll be able to get it to sense when it's touching an eclipsed, and the design I'm used to breaks if it's active when not touching someone - though making them deactivate on removal is a lot easier. I can probably create other ways for it to activate itself, but 'will only activate when touching an appropriate target' has the best safety margins and is the most reliable."

"Maybe a kind that works on kids," suggests Brian, while Jackson types more.
