Okay, so today I learned something.

If you get stupid cursed and do something crazy, like basically take over a bar and buy everyone several rounds of drinks, because you think you can afford it and you tell the bartender to put it on your tab, you have to pay that tab. Even if you can prove you aren't whoever you said you were that day and the whole thing's just a crazy misunderstanding. Also, if you blew up broke a few chairs at some point in the evening, you have to pay for those too.

Even if it's totally not your fault.

So uh.

I need a job.


For those of you who don't know me, I'm Tommy Shepherd. I'm really fast. Like, you wouldn't believe how fast. It'll take you longer to tell me where to bring something than it'll take me to get it there. Also, you know, I fight bad guys and save the world while looking awesome on a regular basis, but I'm not sure if that's a marketable skill here.


Also, if you spoke to me last weekend, basically ignore everything I said. I'm really not that much of a jerk.

Ouch! How much do you owe them?

[team_sociopath]

A lot. I'd be more specific but it hurts too much.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Maybe you could get a job as a marathon winner! Do people get paid for that?

[team_sociopath]

Probably.

But are there marathons here?

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

You could start one!

[team_sociopath]

But who'd pay me?

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Ah, right. Payment.

I dunno, what else can you do?

[team_sociopath]

Deliver stuff? And like, I mean, I can do normal stuff too obviously. I don't like stuff that makes me have to stay still though.

Does this place have a post office?

[team_sociopath]

I have no idea. I'd be awesome at that though.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

I could fly over and see if I see one!

[team_sociopath]

This job thing is so not cool.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Yeah, seriously.

Have you ever had a job before? I just got my first one here in The City.

[inmyothertights]

I'll give you a recommendation if you need one.

[team_sociopath]

A glowing one, I hope.

'He's my brother but I can't guarantee he won't eat your pizza.'

[team_sociopath]

'He's my brother and he's super-motivated to get paid so he's not in debt forever.'

[inmyothertights]

'He's my brother and if he doesn't get a job I have to cover his half of the rent, so I'm motivated to make sure he doesn't show up late?'

[team_sociopath]

I guess that works.

[inmyothertights]

No one is threatening to do something like break your kneecaps, right?

[team_sociopath]

Not yet.

[inmyothertights]

If they do I got your back.

[team_sociopath]

Thanks bro.

[inmyothertights]

Sure.

Just don't take any jobs that involve caring for livestock.

[team_sociopath]

What, you don't want competition in your chosen field?
