How did you decide what you wanted to do here?

[timehit]

What? Is your sense of priority so lacking that you can't drum something up for yourself?

[ Kids these days... ]

An unexpected shift in scenery doesn't drastically change what needs to be done. But then maybe, for some of us, our baggage tends to follow.

[codeofiron]

[Unfortunately (or fortunately), you can't glare through text.]

It changes how you do it.

Enough to dig into the obvious wealth that is public opinion for an answer? Come on, pal.

What's the part that's really bothering you?

[vociferates]

Depends on what you mean dude.
The hero schtick or, like, civilian jobs?

Text

[codeofiron]

Civilian jobs.

[vociferates]

Hmm. I got lucky and got assigned something familiar, but I guess the easiest way to look up jobs would be to use the internet right? Or ask around on this handy network. Might get more interesting jobs that way!

What're your skills, man? Maybe I can make some suggestions.

[[ooc: god i'm so sorry this is so late, I lost half my tags in the spam folder.]]

[chainlinks]

Do you mean the job they gave us or your own feeling?

[codeofiron]

My own feeling, I guess.

[chainlinks]

Okay that's the tougher one. I heard a few people quit the job they were given to do their own thing, but I guess they expect you to hero around. I haven't registered myself, to be honest.

What did you do back home?

[bifroster]

Not a bad question. Did you mean something to pay the bills or something to occupy your mind?

[codeofiron]

Something to be useful.

[bifroster]

You could always try volunteer work somewhere. A school, vet clinic, public park ... there's lots of options.

Just took the job they gave me. Not much here that really lines up with what I did back home.

What did you do?

[notyuvan]

I was a soldier. Or a mercenary, I suppose. We were specially trained so now I mostly took on jobs when people needed help.

It came to me during a counseling session. I have a fine eye for detail and deft hands.

[codeofiron]

Counseling?

[Text]

[dazzlingdream]

Yes, I attend counseling sessions weekly.

[electroburst]

bold of you to assume any of us know what we wanna do here.

[codeofiron]

Maybe.

Some people have been here a long time.

[obediences]

I took the job they assigned me.


[ Clean! Simple! Easy!
—Maybe not especially healthy wrt personal agency or thinking for oneself! ]

[timehit]

Something properly suited to a man your age, no doubt.

[ Try being enrolled in school with real, actual kids. ]

I could just imagine Diego's reaction to you going out on your own, paving your way out in the world. If it wouldn't give me a headache to try, anyway.

[codeofiron]

[Brandon took the first job where someone wanted him! Which is absolutely not unhealthy with regard to personal agency and thinking for oneself.]

I don't think I'd go back to that.

The same way I decide what to do anywhere. I just did what I wanted to do.

[codeofiron]

[Knowing what you want to do would make this much easier, wouldn't it.]

I want to be useful.
