six sick, disgusting thoughts | video;

[somesayinfire]

You might be looking at the new mortuary assistant for Locke City morgue, if all goes well, numbers club.

[yeah, Brooke seems pretty pleased with things. she's dressing casual today, which mostly just means no tie and unbuttoned shirt cuffs.]

I know, I know, the network is not my blog, but I've got news. I just applied for an open position working for the city morgue. It pays a lot better and I'll have a lot more records to access. It's also higher profile and a lot more official than my current job, so, uh, that's not great news for my social life. But I might be able to help us all out a lot more when it comes to gathering information, and that's kind of awesome.

I also echoed back some more powers, so if anybody needs help... I don't know, moving boulders around or something, feel free to give me a call. [she moves her right hand up, twisting her wrist in a "whatever" gesture.] And if anyone in the city asks, this is a prosthetic. A really, really good prosthetic.

[after a moment's pause, she holds up a golden trophy.]

Oh yeah, and I guess the person I used to be was really good at pizza. I'm gonna take this as a sign and order one. Any pizza is a personal pizza if you try hard enough.

What, and I'm not invited?

I didn't know you liked anchovy-olive-and-pineapple pizza, Rachel. Learning new things about you every day.

[she returns it.]

[lackinginfaith]

Congratulations.

[somesayinfire]

It's a little early for that, but thanks all the same. Unless you mean the pizza trophy.

What information are you going to gather? Our shoe sizes if we get shot and the police are kind enough to turn our corpses over instead of just making a nice fire in a dumpster somewhere?

[somesayinfire]

You'd be surprised what you can learn from decedents. Nice going putting Luci on the map like that, by the way.

[His first thought was a "congratulations", but she did point out that she's got practical purposes for pursuing the position in mind - goes and steers himself into another question, hesitant and awkward (inevitably so) smile.]

You're, uhm -- you're not only doing - this - for us, a -- ...are you - ?

[somesayinfire]

Not only for you guys, but... well, you're all a big factor. I like working for an independently owned funeral home, but there's only so much I can do with my skills there. I think it's past time for me to move up in the professional world.

[she gives a soft, genuine smile, the one of someone absolutely not put off by how Anthony looks.]

That it'll be that much easier to help people on the numbers club is the biggest benefit I can think of.

man where is everyone getting all these cool new powers
is there some dude with a grab bag or what

Text;

[somesayinfire]

I had to get space depression and a petrified arm before I got any powers. If there's a dude with a grab bag, he's got to start digging deeper. What crap draw you end up with?

[originaloddcouple]

Congratulations! On the potential job and amazing trophey!

[Video]

[somesayinfire]

Hah, thanks! It's... well, it sure is something. I don't even know where past-me would've gotten it from. It doesn't match up with anything I know about her.

And it's, like, greasy to the touch.

[hungryhunter]

Good luck on the job, man.

Also I'm jealous being being the pizza champion is exactly the kind of thing I'd want for my past life.

[somesayinfire]

Thanks, Sash. And pizza champion is just my guess. I don't even know how a pizza champion would work. Some sort of eating competition, I guess? Some kind of hungry games?

[betroth]

Oh, no! Did we miss our calling? Should we have been opening up a restaurant, instead?

[ Pfft yeah no she can't. ]

Congratulations, Brooke.

[somesayinfire]

Thanks, Chloe. [she smiles.] I don't think I'd do well as a restauranteur. I'm not saying I burn water, but it's not fantastic, me in a kitchen.

text; later

[ladyofluminosity]

I've got my fingers crossed for you.

Wait, is that a gold pizza trophy?

[What.]

text;

[somesayinfire]

Yes. Yes it is. A slightly greasy gold pizza trophy, no less.

So how's the rest of your day been?

hey guess what are you ordering pizza because this is the asshole who answers the phone;

[enrages]

...I know your voice.

professional pizzamaster karson valenti is that you;

[somesayinfire]

...Karson? Dude, I didn't know you worked here.

Voice. Cellphone.

[flamberge]

A position like that would potentially prove quite useful. Best of luck in getting the job.

[And he means that!! Although...]

And what had happened to your hand?

[And not calling it a prosthetic??]

Voice.

[somesayinfire]

Oh, hey. Thank you, seriously. My hand, um.

It kind of turned into rock. Really, it was my entire arm. Thanks, echoes. I was apparently a major past-hole to deserve this. But I can control it again, so it's not so awful anymore, I guess. Now I just need to keep up the masquerade.

[voice]

[moarnomsplz]

Congratulations, shun-zuh!

'Good at pizza' like eating-ing it, baking it, or what?

[It's an important distinction.]

[voice]

[somesayinfire]

That's a little premature, I think, but I'll take it anyway. Thanks, Alex.

I think she was just really good at all things pizza. I mean, the trophy doesn't specify. There's no engraving, it's just a slightly greasy golden model of a slice of pizza on a pedestal. Which, okay, let's be real, is the best place for a slice of pizza to be.

[voice]

[sun_sun]

Just the trophy, or do you remember any recipes?

[voice]

[somesayinfire]

...Are there special pizza recipes that I should know about? I thought it was just "pick up the phone and 30 minutes later, pizza happens".

[metalbent]

[ Wait, almost none of that mattered except... ]

Moving boulders around?

voice;

[somesayinfire]

Yeah. I don't think I can do actual boulders yet, but big rocks shouldn't be that hard. Probably. Why, you got some quarries that need organizing?
