o6 panic attacks | audio

[gunhearted]

I wouldn't do this if I wasn't desperate but... but I really am right now.

I need a job. I've been looking all over for months but as soon as anybody sees my tattoo, they laugh in my face. I don't need anything special, really, and I don't have too many great skills but I'm willing to learn just about anything!

I-It's just that... I can't keep stayin' with Isaac and Miria forever. A-and someone offered me a place, but I can't do anything if I don't get some kind of job so I can pay rent first, right? And... I'm gonna have to start paying for school by myself. Since my parents won't fill out the forms for financial aid and everything...

I-I really need a job guys. Any kinda leads would be helpful I'm so sorry I'm askin'--But I really need your help.

[HE GOT SO CLOSE TO A WHOLE POST WITHOUT CRYING but now he's sniffling. So this is a great place to hang up.]

I offer this to basically everyone but we keep losing guys at the stables, if you can work around horses.

[gunhearted]

I've never been around them before.... but I could try it!

The owner's daughter used to be Numbered and she knows about us being a thing still so it's pretty safe for us. Want the address?

Re: audio

[gunhearted]

Sure. I can at least ask... but I might not be really good at it...

[bombgasmic]

You know? If you'd like, I can be a reference for you if you apply where I'm working at. You tried the library yet?

Re: audio;

[gunhearted]

Isn't that kind of things against most of the rules?

[bombgasmic]

Only one way to find out.

I could ask if there's room for hiring interns at the station.

[gunhearted]

[No the look of panic that flies across his face--]

N-no, that's okay. That's... I-I probably shouldn't go anywhere near there.

[Kotetsu's brows furrow in confusion for a bare moment before he puts up his hands in a placating gesture.]

Okay, okay, you don't have to.

...Hey, what if you just drop by my place a few times a month or something and help straighten up, and I'll pay you for your rent?

[....that's not really a job at all, but he wants to help.]

[healspec]

[oh. job-searching. that thing Ravi's never actually had to do and is awful at and has no advice about.]

[should he even bother replying, people have already responded to help...]

The hospital support staff might be hiring, if you would like me to check for you.

Re: [text]

[gunhearted]

my face wpuld probably diqualifiy me from anything.

[healspec]

Only customer service. [or so he should think??]

[Audio]

[originaloddcouple]

...You can't?

Why not?

[Guys, no.]

[Audio]

[gunhearted]

[The art here is not saying exactly what he admitted to Nice.]

Y-you guys need a room again. I'm just taking up a lot of space.

And--And Nice thought it might be a good idea to look at apartments, too...

[Audio]

[originaloddcouple]

You're not taking up space at all!

We're always happy to have you- Did you say Nice?

Did you say "Did he say Nice"?

[Audio]

[charcoalfeather]

You're... you're parents wont help you?

[Audio]

[gunhearted]

My parents... my parents and I aren't on great terms. I'm staying here because they kicked me out after I told them I was one of us....

I-I don't blame them or anything, I'm not an easy kid, and I do have a lot of dangerous memories s-so--!

[Audio]

[charcoalfeather]

N-no, it's not your fault! It's not your fault you were what you were before.

[They couldn't be responsible for what they did before, right?]

They should help you.

[shineonyou]

Want some money?

video;

[gunhearted]

Huh?! No, that's not--I didn't mean that I'm not begging for money, really! It's just not easy to find a job with a tattoo on your face...

video;

[shineonyou]

I know-- I'm just offering. Some bucks to hold you over. 'Cause, you know? I've been saving up for this one Burberry raincoat for, like, a year now, and it finally hit me just yesterday... It doesn't rain in Vegas.

So what am I gonna do with this money, huh?

[adquartum]

...Have you tried applying places? I hear there's a mall.

[Genuinely, he's just learned this information, and being new to town, it's the only useful bit he has to offer.]

Though I think asking around on this network is also a very wise way of going about it. Word of mouth is King.

[Video]

[gunhearted]

A couple places, but nobody's gonna hire a kid with a tattoo on his face... [It's been a hellish roller coaster...]

[Video]

[adquartum]

Are you in a gang of some sort?

[He hopes that isn't too rude or abrupt...]
