I had thought about getting a job in housekeeping, but[pause] I think a job that requires combat skills might be a better fit.

[Combat skills, instantaneous healing, the ability to focus in a fight... He wondered what exactly his life had been like before.]

Any suggestions?

Combat skills? [But you're a kid =( ]

[symmetryguns]

Yes, I


[Seven hates writing. He's going to find his brother now and explain exactly what happened, since he'd forgotten to mention it before.]

[Doing laundry, so you can find him in the laundry area.]

[All of Seven's clothing has been replaced with this, and while it's a bit flashy for his tastes, he does know how to tie the cravat.]

Jeep?

[He looks up from his folding of sheets and smiles.]

Yes, Seven?

[...that outfit is ridiculous, but Jeep is a master of the poker face.]

The Adventurers or the Guard are both good for people who can fight.

[symmetryguns]

What do Adventurers do?

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

They explore the Wilderness to see if it's safe, and they help the Guard and the Watch keep people safe when disasters happen.

[symmetryguns]

Who is in charge?

[crimson-seeker.livejournal.com]

There's the Hatchery Guard, though you need more than fighting skills for that. The Adventurers gladly take people who are handy with weapons, too, I hear.

[symmetryguns]

What else do you need to be a guard?

[crimson-seeker.livejournal.com]

I'm not the Captain, so don't take this as a word of law, but a few things I've found useful.

Standing still and staying alert for at least some hours, patience, not losing your head over the mischief this place is prone to, taking orders as they're given, and patience. Most of the time, you stare at rows of cocoons, but when things get hairy, you need to snap to it and fast. Fighting is the least of what we do.

[symmetryguns]

[Pause. Pentaps.]

Who is the Captain?

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

The ability to deal with perverts and Lin...who may also be a pervert.

[symmetryguns]

.

I can do that.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

What kind of combat skills?

[symmetryguns]

Hand-to-hand unarmed. I might be able to use weapons, but I'm not sure.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Boy you'd think people can only do laundry or fight in this place.

I mean there's other jobs too, dude.

[symmetryguns]

Any suggestions?

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately I don't know you that well, but for starters there's everything in the Bazaar. Then there's the farm and journal making and medical... There's a lot, seriously.

[symmetryguns]

I'll look into those. Thank you.

We are always happy to take able bodied combatants in the Adventurers if that would be of interest to you. I am Captain Target, I would be very happy to answer any questions you might have about working for the Adventurers. The Armed Response and Combat division are under the command of my colleague Captain Kiba. I myself head the Administration and Records division.

[symmetryguns]

What exactly do the Adventurers do?

[letmefollow.livejournal.com]

We are a military organisation whose primary function is to explore the Wilderness and chart its appearance and potential hazards and determine which areas are safe for the general public to venture into. Usually it is not as unpredictable as it has been lately and keeps its shape for longer than day long periods. We dispatch teams to explore the Wilderness and report its findings.

There are three divisions in total: Reconnaissance and Cartography, Records and Administration and Armed Response and Combat, which is the field that I believe you might be interested in. The teams that go out into the Wilderness are generally made up with members from all three divisions, and work as a unit to explore and report their findings. Armed Response and Combat Adventurers play an important part in defending their unit as the Wilderness at large can often be a dangerous and unpredictable place. We ask that all applicants interested in a position in this division undergo an assessment to determine their combat abilities so that we can be certain that they are able to withstand the expectations of their position and to better determine their skills.

In addition to Wilderness exploration, we also work in conjunction with the Watch and Guard in times of emergency.

[Tap, tap.

Armed Response and Combat would be best for him, since he was fairly sure that any attempts to draw a map would end poorly. The same with Records and Administration. He just wasn't cut out for jobs with a heavy emphasis on penmanship.]

Armed Response and Combat would be the best fit for me.

Should I try to contact Captain Kiba about taking the skills test?
