Career Day

BAKERSTREET CAREER DAY

From the invisible to the glamorous, all work contributes to this nutty world we call our own. No profession's too big or too small to count! Know what that means? We do!

It's a multiversal job fair, and your character's here to recruit for (or warn against) their field.


HOW TO PLAY
- Instead of the traditional subject header, describe in brief what it is your character does. Or doesn't. Clear up misconceptions, offer the whole company line, etc.
- Interested parties inquire within.
- Did somebody bring the applications? I hope I at least get some company pens out of all this..

Fight Demons and Monsters for MURRICA (and the rest of the world too I guess)

[nutkrusher]

Kick ass, blow shit up, meet ninjas, fight supernatural horrors beyond comprehension with man-made horrors beyond THEIR comprehension. Make new friends in new dimensions. Negotiate peace treaties with Osh-Tekk god-kings.

You know, fun stuff!

Fight America and the rest of the world too because they are demons and monsters.

[without_borders]

Already doing that. Except the dimensions, and the god-kings. So far.

What's America's interest in any of that?

[nutkrusher]

Protecting Earthrealm. Preserving the detente between us and Outworld. And making sure the Netherrealm doesn't invade again.

[without_borders]

So foregin policy? If they're pursuing detente, is the Soviet Union allied with the Outworld?

Holy Warrior sworn to redeem those who have fallen astray of the path of objective goodness.

[starfreckles]

Sometimes this is pulling them away when their actions will have Painful Consequences. Other times I can be the Painful Consequences.

Have you heard the good word of our Dark Lord, Satan, and his emmissaries, the Ghost project?

[ Also, our swag game is absolutely wild. ]

[abstrusus]

[ The entertainment of the post above and the this one is truly something. ] How goes the crusade?

[witchimage]

[ As presumably the third in the row, starting with the top one...the booth is quite the palate cleanser from all that righteousness, hm?

Regardless, babysitting it while her underlings take a lunch break hasn't been her favourite situation. ] I'm concerned my girls are spending more time handing out keychains rather than literature.

[abstrusus]

[ "Righteousness" as they call it, indeed. More importantly:] This concerns you?

[ He was surprised, though agreed. Even if her annoyance over the whole situation did bring him a modicum of joy. ] Whatever brings in the masses, no? Still ignorant or not.

On a quest to destroy the source of monsters and restore nature to its magical glory.

[hornedkid]

The two are unrelated, by the way.

Fighting a war against evil incarnate, also trying to get his dads stupid rocks back

[holdshisown]

Neither objective is going very well at the moment...

[kyelek]

You're not quite selling this...

[holdshisown]

Am I supposed to lie and say we are making great progress?

Prideful martial artist trained before he could even walk and cursed to swap genders when wet.

[catsgothistongue]

Also skilled at various other degrees such as cooking, sewing, cleaning, CPR and first aid, massaging and other skills that'd make him a jack of all trades... for the most part.

Professional alien abductee

[explainlikeimfive]

Hold on, how many times makes it "professional"?

oh, just the world's greatest thief, nbd~

[catlady]

[exterminatory]

So whaddya thieve, exactly?

[catsuiting]

Priceless jewels, antiquities, artwork -- although, there's a lot more work to that than people realize if you want to steal it right, I mean, you've got to find an artist and commission a counterfeit, you've got to find a discreet way to get the thing out... [ a shrug. ] I steal whatever I want.

[exterminatory]

Guessing there's times, then, where all the work you gotta do to do it right... just isn't worth the trouble.

You steal some of that stuff for yourself? Extra special shit you know you'll never let hit the black market? Is there like, the complete fossilized skeleton of a scimitar-toothed cat just chillin' in your apartment?

(2nd) best meth cook in the southwest!

[yeahmagnets]

...the hell are you talking about? I work at a laundromat (that's totally, definitely not a front for anything else). Lavandaria Brillante. Google that shit.

director of a paramilitary organization dedicated to protecting england from vampires

[sirintegra]

Catch criminals by diving into dreams to search for clues!

[paipedream]

Oh, but you'll need to get your eye taken out. It's a good job to have if you conveniently lost it!

[Unlike some of her colleagues who had to get it surgically removed.]

Looking to recruit for an organization of gifted and ungifted individuals.

[detrimental]

There's always room for more.

Wanna go vikingr?

[deathbymistletoe]

Being able to row it required, handling weapons optional.

Animator and researcher. Would talk about being the head of a company, but...

[witnessthestars]

I'd say that last one is a bit behind me as of now.

Still, the mecha genre's as wide and vast as the starry sky, when you think about it. It also takes a lot of trial and error, nevermind research into certain techniques, to get the actual movements down in proper animation and not make it look clunky, especially if you're doing it in a 3D environment, or even trying to recreate the experience in real life. I have to tip my hat off to people who made live action kaiju films work... it can't have been easy getting the special effects in particular right.

...ah, but I'm getting a bit ahead of myself.
