01; Video... sort of.

[The video feed starts with the face of a young man looking... very confused at the phone in front of him. Squinting, almost. Soon followed by a...]

HELLO?

[...He is literally yelling into the communicator, and pressing it to his cheek. Entirely unnecessary, since this is a video post... But whatever. Say hello to Joseph's cheek, fellow users of the Network. This is all you get for the rest of the video.]

There's no receiver end on this thing, how am I supposed to know where to talk into! Or who I'm talking to?

[Yeah. You're getting one of these guys again. Sorry. He's from 1938. This has been a rough journey for the technologically inept.]

Whatever! I have to go back- it's really important. I'm going to be done for in six days if I don't get to Switzerland! It's a really long story but I don't have time for another adventure, I'm already in the middle of one right now. I don't want to hear any of those excuses I've already been told! I'm being really serious here! I should have memorized Lisa Lisa's phone number...

Not really.

[Welp.] Generally speaking? Less government support. You'll have to find your own job, and you can use the housing given to you as long as your other roommates aren't inclined to kick you out.

Let me get this straight. They brought me here, but if I don't sign up for their war, I won't have any money??

[godly]

[He looks just as about as pleased with it as you are.]

That's right. You'll have to find your own job, independently of what the government has assigned you. But many here have made that choice; and many will empathize if you decide to make it yourself.

[trickstar]

How do I know what job they gave me?

[Because this guy kind of just stuck his folder in his back pocket and never looked at it.]

[godly]

...Did you look through your file?

[oh boy.]

[trickstar]

...

[You mean the one he's digging out of his pocket right now? The one that was hastily folded into fours, and thus wrinkling every paper within it? That one?]

Oh. This one.

[godly]

[Yes. ....That one.]

Y-yes. You should take better care of it. There's some interesting information in there; your assigned job, like I said, but also if you've been assigned any new powers you didn't possess before.

[ooc: HEY in case it comes up in this thread, would it be okay for Joseph to use his verbal prediction power on Light?]

Assigned job... Let me see... "Self-defense instructor". Ha! Did they pick the wrong person for that!
