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.

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.

[team_sociopath]

I'm supposed to still be in school at home.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

But you're not in school here?

[team_sociopath]

I don't even know if there is one here.

I'm not in school at home, either.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure there's one, yeah. I don't think attendance is enforced, so I have no idea who would actually go.

[team_sociopath]

Whatever. Like I said, I don't like stuff that makes me stay still. Which is about all school did.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

That's fair enough. I'm not great at sitting still either.

[team_sociopath]

I think I was technically expelled, anyway.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Did you set fire to something?

[team_sociopath]

My school got blown up.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Yikes! Was anyone in it?

[team_sociopath]

No one got hurt. Bumps and bruises, maybe.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

That good at least. Bad guys?

[team_sociopath]

I'm going to invoke my fifth amendment rights here.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

What's that?

[team_sociopath]

My right not to give testimony which may or may not incriminate myself in some fashion.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Oh come on! I'm an angel. I can totally absolve you of sin or something.

[team_sociopath]

Don't you have to feel bad about it for that to work?

No one got hurt, so who cares.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

I've never been entirely clear on how that whole thing works.

[team_sociopath]

That seems like something you probably should know.
