[ Time to be straightforward.

Time to be humble.

Time to-- ]

I'm looking for work.

[ --speak gruffly, pause, and then try again after a minute, with a better explanation this time. ]

What I mean is, I'm looking for temporary work until such time as I transition to a more permanent place of employment. [ Code for: I was fired. ]

I'm a veteran combatant and in the past I have corralled bandits, pirates, animals, monsters, and dragons. Considering those are few and far between in this place, I can also provide physical labor, fieldwork, and animal husbandry.

[ Clears his throat. ]

I am also an expert chef.

[ Mark responds way too quickly for someone who sounds this studiously casual. ]

You know, I think there was actually some discussion of hiring a chef at the Residence. I'd have to double-check.

[irassible]

Is that so?

Temporarily, or permanently? I can't promise continuous service, as I have other long term plans. [ He...hopes...... ]

video

[jacksonian]

[ ...ugh. Well - ]

Long-term plans that will start when, exactly?

[Its probably silly to reply to this when she's in the same house but-]

You do so much at the farm, you really ought to be paid for it, I'm sure we could all arrange....

[irassible]

[ He was expecting it tho. ]

I do that in exchange for a roof and a bed, which I consider a fair enough trade already.

[protects_the_small]

It's not as if Hawke and I pay for room and board. All you do has value, I hope you realize that.

[douchebag]

So that makes you, what? A bounty hunter?

[ A brief pause as Felix runs the rest of that back through his mind. ]

Or some kind of knight of the round table?

[ The tales of Camelot endure even in the 26th century. ]

[irassible]

The term we use on my world is adventurer.

[ Which has the benefit of sounding light-hearted and approachable to civilians over, say, hired killers. ]

Sometimes, bounties are involved.

[douchebag]

[ What a pity. Felix prefers hired killers himself. It makes him feel more at home. ]

Really? Adventurer. [ He laughs a little. ] You know, I think I like that. Mind if I borrow it?

An expert chef, you say?

[Wouldn't you know, Dooku was just talking about how lousy the food is here with Mr. Gold.]

Voice

[irassible]

You're speaking to a master member of the Culinarian's Guild.

If you can name a dish, I can most likely make it. If not, give me a day, and then you will see it made.

[dun_moch]

A bold claim- one that I think must be put to the test. I would like to contract your services from time to time, for occasions that demand a higher quality of food preparation. If things go well, I may even be able to employ your cooking full-time.

[He really hates cooking his own food okay... and having a master chef on hand for fancy parties and receptions would be great.]

[dualismum]

Work is easy to find here, but at the same time, difficult to find something that fits some skills. [ sasaki understands. ]

Though I can't help with the first part - I enjoy cooking a lot too. I imagine food from your world is quite different from this one.

[ Video ]

[irassible]

[ Switching to video shows why it might not be as easy: the "jobs" people want him for usually involve getting stared at in some fashion. ]

Not as different as you would think. The ingredients are not the same, but the tastes and styles are remarkably similar.

[ Video ]

[dualismum]

[ Sasaki understands, but all imPorts get stared at, regardless of how they look like. Though non-humans usually get a more... special staring-treatment. ]

Oh, then that must be easy for you.

I'm sure you can find a job as a chef, if that interests you.

[viced]

Wait. You can cook?

[ Blah blah blah cool stuff, but... he cooks?? ]

Video

[irassible]

[ ...this man looks vaguely familiar. Switching to video too so he can lean close, as if that might help somehow. ]

Yes. Is that strange?

[Sam knows that code.]

What happened?

[irassible]

[ Well.

Might as well just fess up. ] With everything that has been happening, I fell behind in keeping up with my assigned job.

[helpline]

None of those other skills include watch-making, do they.

video;

[irassible]

No, should they?

video

[heymcfly]

Jesus Christ! How the hell did you fight against dragons?

video

[irassible]

Spears, knives, swords, magic. Cannons, if you have the time to set them up. Bows, and perhaps firearms, but ammo is finite.

[marriedmedium]

Darling, you can come cook for me anytime.

[irassible]

If it's just for you, then it's not a job, but an engagement.
