A few of us have been talking and we're already tired of being broke, so we're wondering what everyone hopes to do here job-wise, what you did before, and how you go about explaining it to the locals if they want to know about your previous floor-sweeping or shelf-stocking experience before allowing you to sweep any floors or stock any shelves. Especially if your job back home was a little more complicated than that.

And have any of them asked any of you for references? Do they actually check them?

Does anybody have any experience with making up false references wholecloth? Can we begin acting as one another’s references?--which is a terribly trust based suggestion, we realise, and so the following question,

Should we design a character test for the sake of honest false reference corroboration? (‘We’ is the general ‘we’ not the ‘we’ asking these questions.) Is there anyone here who is not a reliable hard worker that the rest of us should be sure not to refer for anything?

Before anyone feels the need to point out that unreliable lazy workers will lie: yes, thank you, please see similar discussions following the questions about murder.

[ The recording turns on showing Mikoto slouched on a couch with a cigarette tucked in his mouth. His jacket's gone, leaving him in a white tee looking a little bored. ]

Where do you report a missing person around here?

[ The person? His roommate. She's been gone a while now leaving the house all to himself, which he does appreciate but he's also wondering what happened to her. He figures the least he can do is report her missing. ]

Employment Opportunity: The Royal Guard

[nysan]

Greetings, all. The hardworking and honest people of Olympia are what makes our city so great. Unfortunately, not everyone in our beloved city holds these same ideals. As more and more people come to call Olympia their home, our crime rates have also unfortunately risen.

We must not let our city fall into the hands of criminals!

If you have what it takes to help keep our streets safe, I, Ashti of the Royal Guard, am interested in YOU. I seek those who are not afraid to serve justice to those who threaten the safety of our citizens.

Duties include responsibilities such as patrolling the streets and businesses at various hours of the day and night, settling civil disputes, subjugating criminals, and capturing possible spies and traitors. You will also be expected to train with fellow guards and new recruits. I need capable and experienced people. Good physical fitness and/or knowledge of combat magic is a must.

If you’re ready to help keep our city safe and prosperous, please contact me starting tomorrow.

OOC NOTES: If your characters are interested in obtaining any of these jobs on the bulletin, they can ICly contact the appropriate person starting tomorrow! Lysa, the medicine woman, will also be posting her own bulletin shortly for those who are interested in the clinic. There are also many other jobs that are available and have notices for employment, but you are free to handwave minor jobs! For now, characters may only pick up one NPC-headed job. Remember that characters should be creative (AKA: lie) in how they talk about their origins and experience-- bringing up other worlds and/or Thesa Station will end very unproductively.

Employment Opportunity: Simwe Institute

[nysan]

Do you hunger for a chance to unravel the mysteries of this wonderful world we call El Nysa? Did the origins of last month’s meteor shower captivate your curiosity? Are you self-motivated, intelligent, and willing to take risks for the pursuit of knowledge? If so, read on.

I am Evras, head of the Simwe Institute, and I am accepting applications for talented scientists, engineers, scholars, and potion masters.

The Simwe Institute is a prestigious institution supported and funded by the royal crown. We strive for scholarly excellence worthy of representing her Royal Highness, and employees are expected to uphold this standard. Researchers must be diligent, highly curious, and above all, trustworthy.

Should you be hired, you will be expected to perform tasks that support existing projects. However, proving your loyalty or pitching a worthy idea may grant you freedom to pursue your own curious path within our facilities.

If you are interested, address correspondence directly to me starting tomorrow. Include your name, experience (along with worthy accomplishments), and what you are interested in pursuing. Spare no detail. Questions are fine as well, but I am a busy man, and will ignore foolish calls.

One last thing: this is not a place for the squeamish.

Employment Opportunity: Shades Darker

[nysan]

Word on the street is that we've just received some fresh faces in this great city. Well, it is my duty, as the Mistress of the Red Light District, to extend a nice, warm welcome to all of you. The name's Koralle, but I could be your Madame if you wish.

Shades Darker is ever seeking for able-bodied men and women to fill some gaps here at our prestigious brothel. Our models excel at fulfilling the unique needs of our clients, so naturally, interested parties should have a draw of their own. What makes you so desirable, what makes others yearn for you, and what will coerce clients to see you again?

Our models are compensated handsomely for their talents, most certainly. Perhaps you'll gain a reputation among the district, given enough popularity.

Does this arouse your interests...? Perhaps a little curious, even? Give me a call, and we shall arrange for a meeting. Oh, and do prepare to demonstrate. Bring a partner. Groom yourselves well. Experience is quite unnecessary.

Of course, if you're looking for something a little more chaste, there are plenty of other jobs I might offer to the right candidate. I'm looking for experienced bartenders and hosts/hostesses as well. Alternatively, just talk to me, and I'm certain we can find the perfect position that will leave you and I wholesomely satisfied. Even if you're apprehensive, I can be very persuasive, you see.

My line will be open to you starting tomorrow. I look forward to hearing your eager voices, my fledglings...

( this is her first appearance on the network, but Diana might be recognizable to some all the same. she was easily spotted wandering the halls of Thesa Station, especially in the halls of the sleeping. considering her height and easy confidence, she does tend to draw attention as she moves around Olympia as well. even if she isn't recognizable, she might be after this.

while she's unused to this method of communication, she's tinkered with it enough to master it. at least enough to accomplish what she means to say. she speaks cleanly, and with clear purpose. )

Greetings. I am Diana. ( it's taken some doing, but she did manage to say her name without spitting out titles and who her mom is. someone should give her points for this. ) I come with a request for aide.

Our landing was made in haste, and damage was wrought from the lack of planning. We all remember the scars left on the land, the devices we left behind in our wake.

Considering our work here must be performed in secrecy, I suspect it would be wise to clean up what we can before the residents of this planet find it. Beyond that, we might be able to scrap and make something of the devices we were ejected in, and do something for the destroyed field that softened our landing.

If you would aide me in this, I would have your name. I suspect the sooner we start, the better. If you believe your hands will be of help, then they will be welcome.

( apparently that's it. Diana shuts off the feed without even a goodbye. nice talking to you, Wondie... )
