( And oh, just to be with you is giving me the best day of my life. )

 [Time for an announcement! From what is obviously the junky old Sheriff's shack in Everglade where Harry Dresden makes his base of operations, you have Jaune. He looks a little ragged - and that's honestly because there could have been even more monster attacks had he not been working to try and stave them off. He's... not very good at it, but he's been pushing himself every day and hasn't been talking to... anyone for quite some time. He looks tired, even a little bruised... but given the state of the sheriff's shack, he's been sustained at least by a steady diet of pizza.]

Uh, hey, Genessia... [Jaune clears his throat and tries standing up straight.] I don't think many of you guys know me. My name's Jaune - Jaune Arc. Short, sweet, rolls off the tongue, ladies love it. Anyhoo... I got a second and thought I might let you know that I've been real busy trying to look after Everglade! It's not easy... You try "quelling water spirits" when you just have this.

[He holds up a sword so that it's visible in-frame. Indeed, aside from that and a shield and maybe a few magical trinkets hanging around in Harry's shop, he doesn't have much else.]

I heard that monsters are moving in on Everglade again, and... I guess I plan on doing something about that. So, uh... Sorry! No time for social calls, I guess. A guardian's work is never done!

[Ugh, how did Harry DO this?]

( ... and they suffocated us. )




Through the city, every communicator screamed out a deafening alert, which was followed by the voice of the AI.

“CORRUPTED ELEMENTS DETECTED. PLEASE ASSIST IN PURGING IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE CONTINUED SURVIVAL OF THE CITY AND ITS INHABITANTS”


[OOC: Subthreads are up. Post in them for combat, or go nuts with planning/reactions through the rest of the comments.]

Man...Karina wanted something cool, like fashion model or one of those guys you see standing still like in downtown New Orleans. Or a mattress tester. Not what she basically did back home. Though part of it was automated, so that was better. Sort of.

Unfortunately, their mindsets were still backwards. Like when Karina suggested they work to empower consumers in order to do everything themselves? Shot down. Nonetheless, She took a job at the checkout isle, given that she couldn't (or wouldn't) do much heavy lifting. There was much pouting as she scanned their groceries. Silent, parenthetical pouting. They even had a computerized option where people could scan their own items, but nope! Her bosses stressed the importance of customer service and how people liked interacting with other people, and would it kill you to smile at people instead of snore, and some other stuff she didn't really listen to.

Naturally, they wouldn't have put in a position at the job fair if they weren't understaffed, so people were using her aisle. A lot. Or at least, some of them were, until the hecklers let them off that the only reason her line is so short is because she takes so long. Karina is, of course, happy to direct them to the automated option should they find her customer service less than satisfying.

If one more rube puts a dang watermelon on the belt, she is sooooo trying her luck again. Tomorrow. After a nap. Maybe.

WHO: Anybody! Recruiters, set up a stall. Bums, get a job!
WHAT: Genessia is hosting a super fun job fair! Unsure what to do? Step up to the lucky lotto and get assigned a super fun lucky awesome job that the character MUST work for at least eight hours before returning to pick a new job from the lucky lotto. Or you could just pick a normal job that's being offered by normal people. That works too.
WHEN: December 8th - December 14th
WHERE: Genessia City - Encircling the Bay
NOTES: A thread will be posted for each day of the week, for those wanting to draw a random job. If you're up for wacky hijinks, tag the day you want your character to pick a surprise career and the mods will RP/assign a job. The character may choose to keep the job if they like it, or pick a new one the next day, but they're stuck doing that job for at least eight hours once the choice is made. HO HO HO!

( Do a little work, do a little work, do a little wooooork! )

WHO: Captain Hammer, OPEN!
WHAT: Hammer's organized a little meet 'n greet over pizza, his treat. What a nice superhero!
WHEN: November 27, 2013 - 7:00 p.m.
WHERE: Geraldi's Pizzeria - Genessia City
NOTES: Both prose and [action] tags are fine! There's also no pose order. GO NUTS. Don't forget to add your tag!
