when i arrived here they gave me a job and that was cool, but... don't think i'm really cut out for writing kids books. especially not about monsters.

[ just the word brings up way too many bad memories. ]

then again i don't know anything i'm actually suited for...i've never had a job. i don't have any special skills, or talent with people or anything...i can cook, and i like doing it, but that's nothing special. even college i only did for a little while.

[ he was pretty much a shut-in at a standstill in his life. if Strade hadn't come along, where would he even have ended up...? his parents had already been at the very end of their rope with putting up with him. He would have gone into the world with no abilities or experience, and now it's happening anyway. ]

what can you actually do when you're like that? if anyone could recommend something...

[ ooc; like i said in the cr meme, i'll be getting back to ren's intro!! i became very badly sick and then went out of town for a few days. ]

if you know how to cook you can try becoming a cook at a small place to see how that would go.

i don't know if i'm good enough for something like that. would they hire someone without work experience in it?

[ghoulking]

Sure. People like imPorts and you need to start somewhere.

Kids have too many monsters to deal with already.

Cooking is special talent. People always need to eat. And you could go back to school if you wanted. Maybe even a cooking school.

There are entry level jobs. Retail, fast food, cleaning, stuff like that.

school...might not be so bad.

[ could he do a class? it feels a little like he's forgotten how to be around people, after two years. ]

i guess one of my worries with stuff like that is i've never worked with people or on my feet or anything

I never had a job before I came here either. There were a lot of things I'd never done before. But I'm figuring stuff out. You can too.

Do you bleed?

[givenofox]

yes...?

[ what kind of question is that ]

[deadtective]

Then just fucking donate blood, dude.

[givenofox]

They don't pay you to do that.

[deadtective]

I don't know what your fucking world was like, but they totally pay you to do that here. And back in my home too.

[givenofox]

you gave it to be nice and help out,
mostly. sometimes you got a shirt or a cup or something.

[deadtective]

Yeah, that's only if you're stupid enough to let them pump you at one of those drives. You do it at a blood bank and they hand you cash.

[craftpunk]

Well, you have two options, really.

Decide to find something you're good at, and if you're not work on that.

Or...you could just coast along on shitty jobs you hate for the rest of your life.

Personally, I'd go with the first.

[ ren's life was easier when he was subsisting on a serial killer's murder-made fortune. ]

both of those sound really difficult.

[craftpunk]

Well of course they're DIFFICULT.

Anyone who told you life is easy lied.

[dazain]

you can have my job
unless they've filled it with someone else already

[givenofox]

what do you do?
