[He'd been putting this off for a lot of reasons, In part because of how completely nuts things had been lately this seemed like a really douchebag time to be drawing attention to himself—especially since he had stayed out of the damn way when everyone went crazy. So he'd waited for a few non-crises posts to go up before making his move. But then there was the other reason; there was always an anxious ball of dread in the pit of his stomach at the thought of addressing such a huge audience of people for what boiled down to his own problems.

But he had to do it. His roller rink job (besides driving him insane was not getting him cash fast enough. His voice comes over the network, tripping over itself and he's talking a little too fast in places, rambling, but at least he's not mumbling.]

Er, sssooo, uh, h-hopefully this is alright to ask?? Pretty sure I saw someone asking about job stuff the other day. People use this network for a lot of stuff so I assume it's fine... I'm kind of looking for a job. —I have a job already! I mean, another job. Additionally. I'm not trying to get rid of my other job even though it is literally hell.

A-anyway, I've done construction before... But I was hoping for something to counterbalance my other job, kinda, I do a lot of standing around watching people skate around in circles for hours and hours, so slowly, sssooo. Slowly. It's like watching an old person texting so slow it is physically painful to witness.

—So I was looking for, I dunno, delivery work or something... Pizza, mysterious packages, whatever. Going really fucking fast probably isn't a skill that's at a premium in a place like this but it will be the fastest pizza of your life, I promise. So fast it will be redundant because you'll have to wait for it to cool!

Maybe?? Other speed-types have suggestions?? Or maybe you don't want me cutting into your work. Er.

Uh, thanks.

Just to be clear, your power is super speed? You're not just reckless in your choices of transportation.

[burnmetwice]

... No, it's totally the second thing.

[exsithstential]

I see. Well if WAS your power, there are plenty of opportunities for an enterprising young speedster out there. In fact, you could potentially work for any industry. And remain invaluable.

[burnmetwice]

An industry? Are you talking about a legit company or something like that?

[exsithstential]

Of course. If you're as fast as you claim, there are innumerable opportunities available to you.

text 4ever

[burnmetwice]

It's just kinda the first thing I thought of...

It depends, there's a lot of range... I'd say 150 kmh is about 'normal' but I can do faster.

[microbrobotics]

dude that is SWEET

superpowers or vehicle

[burnmetwice]

the second thing. which may not SEEM as cool as the superpowers version but is definitely much cooler.

[microbrobotics]

hey man i build all my coolest stuff without superpowers except my brain so i aint knocking it

what do you use

video; comm id is impulse

[moded]

Are you kidding me going fast is totally a premium skill it's probably the most top skill you could ever need anywhere I mean not having to take fiiive hooouuurs to go anywhere is definitely crash you can get so much more done and you can totally deliver things there's a super big market for it trust me been doin' it for months now-- hey! [He leans closer to the camera, grinning wide]

How fast can you go?

voice forever

[burnmetwice]

[he continuously kind of leeeans back from the camera the more Impulse leans forward—truly, natural speedsters did everything fast. It takes him a second of lag to actually process all that, but all that enthusiasm still has him a little tongue-tied]

U-uh,

[there's warring impulses as he sorts out actual words to say 1. to be truthful 2. to look really cool in front of this dude so he'll maybe hire him but also to look cool in front of another speed-type]

I'm, ah, kinda s-stuck at around 200 kph right now but I can do faster.

[voice]

[outlawrain]

...You sound really nervous! This ain't life or death or nothin', you're just tryin' to find a job. Take a deep breath.

voice forever

[burnmetwice]

I'm good!

[except his voice is kind of high and hoarse at the same time, somehow.]

R-really.

[outlawrain]

...Y'don't sound good. Y'sound like you're about to throw up just talkin' to me.

[It's a talent, clearly.]

Take a deep breath. Really! You'll feel better!

[burnmetwice]

Ugh, do I really sound that bad...

[outlawrain]

Just a bit! But it ain't nothin' a little confidence can't fix!

[Moses not everyone is brimming with confidence like you are. You walk around shirtless. Have some damn chill.]

audio;

[iamtetsuo]

Bored, Kazu?

[Guess who still exists after the swear-in?]

I have an idea I'll need you for.

audio forever

[burnmetwice]

... Eh? An idea?

[iamtetsuo]

Yeah. Not a job.

I guess you could call it a physics experiment.

[burnmetwice]

—Physics? I'm good at physics. [Kazu no you're not your canon fucking abuses physics.]

[orions_shadow]

Literally hell?

Oh, so you work with Lucifer and his church, do ya?

Or you're just exaggerating?
