Fuda # 19 | [video/action] Jobs and houses

[idealism]

Welcome, new feathers. I hope you all found the way to the clothes shop. If any of you have any trouble finding a place to live, let me know!

I've been wondering, what did most people do for a living back home? I've heard a lot of strange tales about jobs I didn't even know existed.

[If anyone's out and about, Tsuzuki is taking a well-deserved break by the big fountain. After spending the morning with his plants, he's now playing with the water.]

You'd better not be inviting strangers into the house.

We have room, don't we?

[Voice]

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

No. The inn is closed. No vacancies.

[Voice]

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

I think that Link's room might have an empty bed.

Why don't you want any new people around, Hisoka?

[Oh no you don't Tsuzuki. No more people. :|] No, we do not.

[They're ganging up on him. How unfair!] But Sheik, think of the poor newbies!

Really? What does a cowboy do?

When you say bounties, do you mean like treasures?

F.B.I.

It's an American police thing.

[voice]

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

Oh, like the police officers on television?

I don't think I know what F.B.I. stand for.

[voice]

[unmarryable.livejournal.com]

Yeah. A lot like that.

Federal Bureau of Investigation. In the United States, each state and city runs its own police department, but the F.B.I. is the federal branch for kidnappings or things that cross state boundaries.

[Oh, he remembers this voice.]

I am a certified astrobiologist.

Hi Robert!

That still sounds like a cool job. If a meteor struck Luceti, would your job be to investigate it?

[Voice]

[semper_cogitans]

[Robert smiles a bit, both at the recognition and the question.]

Well, I suppose I could, but my career is more slated towards analysis of living organisms rather than non-living specimens. That being said, I would certainly be fascinated to inspect such a meteor regardless.

... But this makes me wonder what your job is. [And now the mun is wondering if Robert even knows Tsuzuki's name yet...]

Ship's navigator. Cartographer.

[Thief. Shh.]

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[Heeh.]

That's right, I remember you telling me about traveling at sea. You got that pretty dress that way.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Huh? [Processing...been two years.] Oh yeah! Halloween. That's right!

[This kind of announcement catches Isaac's eye -- well, ear -- pretty quickly, since he's both new and has a profession. Thus, he speaks.]

Systems engineer for a planetcracking organization.

[He hopes he doesn't have to explain further what the organization is about, as he's not that proud about the purpose, despite how crucial the procedures are for his people back home. Regardless, he's ready for the interview.]

[Voice]

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

You can crack planets? That sounds dangerous.

[Voice]

[thewholemaker.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't, my organization does. All I do is make sure engines and other technological features are in check. [Isaac released a faint digitized sigh as he was drumming up the explanation for planetcracking, knowing Tsuzuki isn't going to like it.]

Planetcracking is as morbid and painful as it sounds... it's the procedure of stripping other planets bare of minerals and resources to bring back to Earth, which had its own resources consumed to the point life couldn't be supported easily.

Plenty of us have boring jobs, like being a student. [ Or demigod. Therapist for an entire city, maybe. Puppet master. Crusher of hopes. Peeping tom.

Not actually a student. ]

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[This game was bound to make people lie about their professions. Case in point, Tsuzuki is doing the same.]

There's nothing wrong with having a boring job. A lot of people would prefer that. I mean, think about the long lunches you could have~

[neverplaysfair]

Lunch break isn't that long, unfortunately. Do you skimp on you own work, hmm?
