( this is what you wanted to be greeted with when opening the network, right? a woman sat on an unmade bed with her legs crossed ankle over knee, ashtray full on a bedside table, looking about as enthused as a rock as she's so very clearly scrolls through some searches. )

So, video games.

( great opening line. didn't even introduce herself. )

I get what they are from looking it up, but what's the point in some of these? PowerWash Simulator? Farming Simulator 56? American Truck Simulator? You could just go outside and do some of this.

( is she smoking inside her bedroom? also yes. sorry if that gets into the vents, redemption team. )

... I also need suggestions for games. And no, I don't have experience in it which means I don't have enough to make a preference with.

( No, he's just judging your choices. )

And street racing is your #1 choice.

Why not something simpler? Delivery driver.

[eirs]

seemed like my best bet.

( delivery driver.. hm. it's not a bad thought. )

think i saw robots doing that job though. drones or something?

( see, lots of robots mean less of a need for her. but more thrillseekers mean more potential for money? )

[gorb]

You'd think we wouldn't need other jobs when we're already doing so much here.

( They stuck his arm back on but apparently that is not enough. )

If you die from a terrible car crash with your amateur racing skills can I have whatever cigarettes you have left?

( #charming )

[eirs]

( hah, cheeky fucker. )

if they don't burn with my corpse in a smoldering pile on the side of the road.

( because of course she keeps them on her, silly. )

what did you decide on taking up anyway? if anything.

[gorb]

Ah, nothing yet.

I doubt they'd have much use for my lifelong calling.

( (: )

[eirs]

( one never knows if there's a potential flock out there for him. )

which is..?

[gorb]

I was the head of a religious movement back home.

( ... Or cult.

Whatever. )

[eirs]

wasn't aware i was talking to a holy man.

( should the pope be smoking? hmm.. )

should i be watching my mouth?

[gorb]

( Probably, but not for the reasons she thinks. )

Ah, it's nothing as severe as that. I merely want to make the world a better, safer place.

[eirs]

( she's learning a lot today. minding her mouth is a tall order, though. )

i guess that's sort of what the aim of this place is, minus the evangelizing and prayer and whatever else it is religious sects do.

[gorb]

Usually?

Fundraising.

We did do the incense and reflection thing though.

[eirs]

( fundraising. that sounds about right. )

you could always join a maid cafe.

( fundraising → good at talking people into giving things → customer service is fine? → maid cafe??

she's only kind of joking. )

[gorb]

Ha.

I don't think anyone wants to see that.

( Also he'd have to be nice to so many disgusting humans, unfortunate. )

I'm passable with martial arts. ( "Passable". ) I could consider mentoring. That or breathing exercises. It wouldn't be hard to do a holistic approach.

[eirs]

a teacher, huh.

( she should probably consider asking for a hand. the last time anyone's trained her up was awhile ago, then she took in alma and he's handled most the heavy lifting since. )

could work. there's probably some here that might take you up on it, myself included, considering what we have to do for this place.

[gorb]

I might have been one in another life.

( Only people died, and Geto decided seething rage was better than nurturing. )

I'll think about it. We get paid for monster hunting, and I'm better at that than I am at people. But it might be good to have something else to fill up my time.

How have you been settling in?
