Good guys my ass.

[The face that comes into view glares into his screen, not bothering to hide his contempt. How it's possible to judge the network so early is a mystery, but somehow he's managed to.]

Good guys don't waste my time with shitty assignments and craptoos. What the fuck is an anger management facility?! It's better off bein' recycled into fireworks-

[His free hand, cupping his chin, twitches, tense and restless. Blowing up his newly assigned workplace would certainly help soothe his anger, but it's probably illegal. Shame. As disgruntled as the teen appears, Katsuki didn't come on the network to complain. He scoffs, takes a breath, and:]

OKAY, LISTEN UP!!!

I'm looking for anyone from UA- hell, anyone from our rival schools. People with quirks. Whatever. If you don't know what I mean, answer this:

How do I make some real money in this shithole? Enough money to start my own agency.

Don't waste my time telling me you don't got any answers, or I'll kill ya.

[He slams his hand down on the table. And if he accidentally singes the table, well. It was an ugly table to begin with.]

[ There is a lot of noise in the background, not enough to be overwhelming, but the sounds of nature on a windy day are having a good time despite Ruby's (moderately successful) attempts to block the wind from the microphone. ]

I have a question. A couple actually.

First, well, how do you pick out a dog from a shelter? What sort of things do you keep in mind? I live with other people, and plan to have a talk with them about if the dog would be allowed inside or not - people get weird about letting animals inside! Er, anyway. I'll be talking with them about whether or not the dog will be allowed inside, and will keep that in mind, but... What other sorts of things need to be considered? Most of what I know about animal care is their care in the wild, or in situations they shouldn't have been put into to begin with.

And second... Does anyone know any locals who can be trusted to take care of a pet should an imPort be ported out? I'm not going to do something that I know will leave an animal as a part of a media circus the moment I'm not here to take care of it. But I also don't want to risk a pet switching hands twenty times or whatever because the porter is having a fun time at the animal's expense. Or to unceremoniously end up leaving the animal without any specific home, possibly making a housemate feel obligation to care for an animal they never asked for.

Any advice on either thing would be appreciated.

WHO DID THIS.

[there will be no apologizing for the volume, because there is a terrible cacophony of sounds trying to drown he out: vuvuzelas, speed metal...show tunes?! it's bedlam.

it's also the interior of her room, with a...steel panic door behind her. the "her" in question is wide-eyed and frazzled and in a flux between outrage and panic, and her voice ebbs and flows with the shifting ferocity.]

WHO DID IT THIS TIME. WHAT WHIMSICAL GODLIKE POWERS WERE SET OFF THIS TIME? WHY IS THE HOUSE SHAKING. WHY IS THE BALCONY SEALED. WHY IS THE--GAH!!

[she pitches off-camera and a couple of books go sailing by.

pause for some fumbling. the view stabilizes as she props herself by her elbows on the floor.]

A week. A, a fortnight, a BLASTED MONTH! PLEASE! OF JUST A LITTLE PEACE AND STABILITY?!

DARIN IS THIS IS YOUR FAULT I WILL SET YOU ON FIRE AND NOT FEEL BAD BUT EVEN IF IT'S NOT SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!



[SO THIS IS HAPPENING. maybe you've seen? she hasn't. SHE'S INSIDE.]
