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.
[ For the record, this is the product of a phone and its tiny keyboard being passed around among several different curious people. Remus just drew the short straw, because there is no justice in any world, and has to post it. Also, threadjacking super encouraged if you feel the urge. ]

i mean... idk about your world, but this place isnt anything like mine. it has some tech, but its weird. the city itself is weird. we might be able to scrape past with less than we are used to, and considering we dont have the proof of past credentials? might be a point in our favor
no subject
Noticed as much
Only if it's less than you're used to, what sort of job would you be hoping to bluff your way into
no subject
( I am sorry he is like this )
either way, we are gonna have to make it work. you have good ideas... i could maybe forge documents w a computer / printer but p sure those aren't an option around here
no subject
Suppose forging by hand would be more convincing anyways
[To-- ren faires??]
We won't know any of this until one of us has a try at it
Personally not interested in being the first
no subject
they brought us here, they have to have some incentive to make sure we can provide for ourselves
no subject
Know anyone that's had luck getting a message to them?
no subject
i also havent tried or asked anyone about it
( so basically even if it was possible he wouldn't know because he hasn't tried. )
no subject
Less likely to result in yet another conversation about murders as well
no subject
if i figure out a way, i will def let people know
in the meantime, this is smart thinking. i'm not really old enough to be a good reference but i hope it works
no subject
no subject
or, at least that wouldnt have been enough of a difference in my world
no subject
no subject
if i can help out, then let me know.

they have got to be somewhere or ill eat my skateboard
no subject
like a chewy skateboard with gravel crumb topping
no subject
y the food here leaves something to be desired, to the point giant turkey legs would be welcome
no subject
I'd kill like a lot of turkey-ish creatures for a giant turkey leg. the food's fine it's just weird. i had some green goopy stuff the other day that tasted like cheese
no subject
but where is the pizza, or the hotdogs, or the pretzels... or the cold chinese takeout i forgot about for two days... i miss new york, the food scene here is def not the same
no subject
man is that really all there is in the new york food scene everybody talks about so much? everything you listed I can get in my shitty hometown in middle of nowhere canada
or could when it existed I guess
