Disclaimer: I don't own The Rocky Horror Picture Show

A/N: The 'original character' Violet is dedicated to FireandBloodandKittens because she's a great friend and reviews so many stories! I would let her play the character if only she didn't live so far away from me.

(The sidewalk behind a series of shops. Magenta stands there, alone, clutching her communicator)

Magenta (rehearsing): "Hello, my name is Patricia Addams and I am here to inquire after a position." Gods, that sounded bad. "Hello, my name is Patricia Addams and I am here to inquire after a job." Better, I suppose…

(She looks around and soon spots a 'help needed' sign on the door of one of the shops. Magenta enters the shop. It's a cafe, mostly empty. The only people in sight are a middle-aged woman behind the counter and a very grumpy man talking to her.)

Anthony the Rude Man: ...with their ugly hats, and funny ways of doing things, and all their banks… they're taking jobs from poor old God-fearing Christians like-

Magenta (mockingly): What are you on about? Someone's taking jobs from Christians? Good for them! Why, I can't bear the thought of all those God-fearing Christians keeping their jobs. I think we should got back to the old tradition of crucifying them when they're naughty!

Anthony: What's wrong with you? You're on the side of the Jews, the foreigners?

Magenta: No. I just don't like Christians. Also, I'm a girl so you're not allowed to hit me. (Flirtatiously) I know you want to…

(The rude man is tired of being taunted, so he leaves. The woman at the counter - Violet Weiss - bursts out laughing.)

Violet: I'm glad you stood up to him like that, kid.

Magenta: Why don't you?

Violet: Oh, I try to be nice to customers. I'm the owner of this place. (Pause) Who are you?

Magenta: My name's Patricia Addams, and I'm looking for a job.

Violet: Oh! You saw my sign.

Magenta: Yes. (Pause) What's your name, again?

Violet: Violet Weiss.

Magenta: Two colors. Fascinating.

Violet: What?

Magenta: Your first name means 'purple', as well as being a flower, and your surname is German for 'white'.

Violet: Nobody's ever pointed that out before, but you're correct. What a sharp-minded girl you are.

Magenta: Is 'sharp-mindedness' a quality you look for in employees?

Violet: Mostly in friends. Because you helped me out by getting that guy to leave I think I consider you such. You're a friend at first sight, Miss Addams!

Magenta: It's Mrs. Addams.

(Violet is slightly disappointed by this)

Violet: Well, Mrs. Addams-

Magenta: Call me 'Patricia'.

Violet: Patricia. I'd be pleased to offer you a position here, since we get along so well. You can serve coffee and pastries when there's too many people for me to handle alone.

Magenta: Does that happen often?

Violet: Oh, often enough that I've decided I need help.

Magenta: Obviously.

Violet: What hours can you work?

Magenta: Any during daylight.

Violet: Can you start today? Tom Majors and some of his friends will be here this afternoon. They'd get along with you very well. (Pause) I'm only saying this because I'm guessing you're new around here.

Magenta: I am. Who's Tom Majors?

Violet: My brother's daughter's boyfriend's younger brother.

Magenta: What?

Violet: My niece Janet has been dating a man named Brad for four years. Brad has a 15-year-old brother named Tom. Now, since Tom is even more of an outcast than me I've adopted him as an 'extra nephew'. We're very good friends.

Magenta: Are you actually an outcast?

Violet: Yes. I would probably be the receiver of regular cruelty if I weren't a girl. Even the worst of men know that hurting a girl is the worst they can do, at least in the eyes of their mothers.

Magenta: Why would people beat you up?

Violet: They wouldn't.

Magenta: You said that, if you weren't a girl, you'd get beat up.

Violet: If I were a fairy I'd get beat up. I'm the female edition so people don't get as upset. People still think I'll grow out of this even though I'm 44.

Magenta: Where I'm from people draw the line at siblings. This place is quite conservative in comparison to what I'm used to. (Pause) You act as if people openly despise you, yet your shop is well kept and manages to support you. Look at your clothes - wool and silks of higher quality, well dry-cleaned. If you were totally shunned that wouldn't be affordable. You're overreacting… or something.

Violet: My girlfriend of many years just left me. I'm feeling sort of terrible about it and nobody wants to admit I've ever had a girlfriend, so I can't talk to anyone. I guess I was being a bit dramatic about the likelihood of me getting beat up. (Pause) Are you here to question me or to ask for a job?

Magenta: I don't mean to pry, it's just instinctive.

Violet: You're strange. Though you also treat my behavior as totally normal. I'm liking you better every second.

Magenta: Tom accepts you, yes? That's why you're such great friends.

Violet: He's the nerdy son I never had. It's more than just his acceptance of me.

Magenta: I can't wait to meet him. (Pause) So… do I have a job now?

Violet: Yes.

Magenta: Can I call my husband and tell him I'll be staying in town for a while?

Violet: Sure. There's a phone in the back, there… and a pay phone down the street.

Magenta: I might as well use the payphone, get some fresh air.

(She leaves the shop and, once outside, calls Riff on the communicator.)

Riff (voice): What is it?

Magenta: I've got a job… Mr. Addams. You can go home for the afternoon if you'd like.

Riff (voice): Are you serious, Mrs. Addams?

Magenta: Indeed, Mr. Addams!

Riff (voice): Call me when you need to be picked up.

Magenta: I will.

Please Review!

A/N: That scene was astoundingly bizarre, to put it lightly, and way too long. The lengthier lines will most likely get trimmed down quite a bit, partly due to the fact nobody will want to memorize 'em! My cast/crew (they overlap) is made up of hobbyists with varying day jobs.

Also... about the religion stuff in this chapter... it doesn't reflect my personal views. It's not even about Christians or Jews when you think about it. Rather, it's about how people can be idiots and the pointlessness of prejudice. The character Violet and her friend group - they're all people who get prejudiced against. Rocky Horror fans are, or maybe were, a bunch of outcasts. So I guess that's going to be my 'tribute' to those kinds of people... as well as one of the most serious aspects of this show, if the viewers like that idea.
