Quick survey:
1 - What do you do for work here?
2 - What did you do back home?
3 - What's your skillset?

( note: personally, I'm cool with threadjacking in my posts as long as the other person is too, go to town. )

1. I'm an herbal healer at an apothecary while I attend the Dungeons and Dragons version of med school.

2. I was a teacher back in my old life. Elementary school, if that means anything to you. Little kids, if it doesn't.

3. I don't even know at this point. I've picked up a lot of random skills in my time here.

[freightcars]

What's medieval med school like? I'm picturing leeches.

Elementary school's a thing where I'm from. Earth, in 2024. Sounds like you're from somewhere similar.

[nadine_he_loves]

No leeches, but I do own a bone saw. I've just been at the Academy for a couple of months, it's mostly learning about diseases and illnesses and common treatments and tools so far. But I can clean and stitch up a bad wound and set basic breaks. If you happen to be in the Free Cities, my services are available free of charge.

Yeah. Earth 2020. I grew up in New Hampshire, I taught at a little private school in one of the coast towns.

[falcony]

Just how bored are you?

[freightcars]

You can only lift stuff up and put it back down again for money so many times, and I can't find the foosball table.

I'm crowdsourcing ideas.

[ Link sits up to attention when the sparkly survey forms in his field of vision. His input is required! ]

1. Hunt monsters. Sometimes I bake bread.
2. I was a knight.
3. Swordfighting.

[freightcars]

A knight?
Are you serious?
As in jousting, suit of armor, King Arthur?

[itookashot]

1. Whatever'll get me money. Mostly errand boy things.
2. Sharpshooter.
3. Perfect shot. Relentlessly friendly. Ruthlessly charming. I can also alter matter with a touch. Very snazzy dresser.

[freightcars]

When you say perfect shot
What are we talking here
Handgun, rifle, bow and arrow? Maximum distance? Paint me a picture.

( Is the charm and the matter alteration thing worth commenting on? Yes. However. )

[should she reply? it'll be a bit awkward, won't it, but it's bucky]

I am helping at a farm. There are many sheep and a cow called Agatha.

[freightcars]

Is Agatha for milking or for eating?

( Why acknowledge awkward when you could instead Not )

[unnecessaryflourishes]

1. Currently I offer my time assisting in the library here.
2. You might better be suited asking what I haven't done, over the millennia.
3. Varied. I have had no shortage of time with which to learn new skills, after all.

[freightcars]

Is that a literal millennia or a figurative millennia?

[princessvegas]

1. I was working at the inn I lived at, in the tavern. I moved, so I don't have a job now.

2. I guess the last thing I did could be considered like, television presenting? Hosting? Something like that. I've done normal stuff like retail and waitressing too.

3. Depends on what you consider a skill. I can make pencils.

thread jacking because bucky deserves it

[falcony]

AND YOU THROW THE BEST PARTIES
HOSTING IS A GREAT SKILL
YOU SHOULD EVENT PLAN

[ oh sorry bucky were you even here? ]

[freightcars]

Couldn't work at the inn and live somewhere else at the same time? Or was it a MOVE move?

Making a pencil is absolutely a skill
I couldn't do it
Sam DEFINITELY couldn't do it

[cryptsleeper]

1. Architect/engineer.

2 and 3: Nothing in particular.

[freightcars]

Working on anything interesting right now?

Come on
Everyone's got something
You don't have any non-engineering skills?

threadjack away, folks~

[shadowthief]

1. Mostly at this juncture, I'm running errands, doing odd jobs. I'm still trying to find my footing here.

2. Observation, research, and information collection.

3. Former acrobat, specifically the high wire. I know my way around a blade. I'm incredibly good at not being noticed, ask Jesper.

[Spy. She was a spy. But she's not going to say it outright.]

[itookashot]

She's telling you the truth, she pops out of no where. I'm lucky I'm young and don't have a heart problem.

[freightcars]

Sounds like somebody I knew once.

( She was... also... a spy. )

We were in a similar line of work. If you find anything interesting, let me know?

slides in 10,000 years late so they can meet >8,I

[techmaturgy]

1. Repair work, equipment improvements. Odd jobs, mostly.
2. Broadly speaking, research and development involving practical applications of arcane forces harnessed via technological means. It's not unlike the "new" magic practiced here in Cadens. Before that, I was in academia.
3. Technical engineering, applied mathematics, theoretical physics.

[tl;dr: nerd alert]

Your turn.

yaaaas

[freightcars]

That's a pretty impressive list.

1. Manual labor so far, but I got the bright idea to check out a blacksmith. Think I might do a half decent job apprenticing there.

2. I was a soldier.

3. Fighting, mostly. Been known to fix a boat or two. Does having a metal arm count as a skill set? Maybe I'm grasping at straws. Your resume makes mine look sad.

[earthborn]

I was a soldier back home. My skillset is comprised mainly of tactical and command expertise, but I have good technical skills and fieldscraft. I was a black ops specialist for a long time, and a biotic. I was an N7 and a SPECTRE, if that means anything to you.

So basically, I'm good at killing things, and leading other people to do the same. And.

I am an excellent tank-driver. If someone else [Not to name names. Garrus. Garrus Vakarian.] tells you otherwise, they are lying, and also a coward.


Why, you hiring?

[freightcars]

Can't say I'm familiar with a few of those terms. You wanna elaborate a little these:
-biotic
-n7
-SPECTRE


I gotta say, I do miss having a good tank driver. Also, having a tank.

But no. Kind of the reverse of that. I'm looking for work.
