So I'm feeling about as settled in as I think I'm going to get considering how unsettling a place this is.  I'm also getting more used to the fact that I was here before but don't remember it so feel free to say hi if you used to know me and didn't already.  And, if you didn't know me, I'm Teddy and I have no actual affiliation with ninjas.  Or pirates.  It was kind of awkward arriving here in the middle of a phone call.

Other than that...I guess it's about time I found a job.  Any suggestions?  I'm very strong and I like to think I have pretty good people skills, if that helps.

I'm hungry.

[lookjustlike]

Do you want me to get you something specific to eat for sundown?

I'd offer to make you something but that would make the apartment smell like food before you could eat it.

[inmyothertights]

...do you think you could find kugel?

[Insert a pathetic face]

Tommy has a bag of Cheetos and he's eating them obnoxiously slow.

[deadly_legacy]

[Giggles] I'm sure the ninjas and pirates will be sad to hear that.

[lookjustlike]

I can do my best.

[Sympathetic face]

I tried stealing them but he's too fast.

[inmyothertights]

Have I told you you're the best ever yet today? Because you are.

I tried to hit him with lightning. He's faster than that.

[lookjustlike]

Maybe they wouldn't want me anyway.

[deadly_legacy]

I'm sure any ninja or pirate would be glad to have you on their side.

[lookjustlike]

Mmm, not today...but you are the best ever also. Even when you're very very hungry.

He's always fast enough to be annoying.

I think for now I'll stick with the Young Avengers, even if the team is just Billy and Tommy and me at the moment.

[inmyothertights]

He better not eat my kugel.

[deadly_legacy]

Hmm, I wonder if you couldn't do something with your skills from that to earn money in the city. I know Yuri runs Brave Vesperia.

[lookjustlike]

What's Brave Vesperia?

[team_sociopath]

You know the City gives you like, an allowance, right?

[deadly_legacy]

It's a group of people who help others. I'm not certain what sorts of jobs they take, but I believe there are many [Pauses to select an appropriate term. Yuri may not appreciate "knight"] warriors in it.

[lookjustlike]

Sure, but I don't really want to be dependent on just that. And anyway, I feel like I need stuff to do.

[lookjustlike]

I'll look into that. Thanks, Euphie.

[lookjustlike]

I'll do my best to make sure you and your Kugel get some alone time.

[deadly_legacy]

Of course. I hope you find something you like, Teddy. What would you do if you could do anything?

[lookjustlike]

Um, I'm not sure. I mean, I'd like to be able to help people and I feel like I should do something besides sit around and play video games, but I don't really know what exactly.

[deadly_legacy]

[This is the sort of attitude she might have expected from someone dating Billy. It makes her smile.] There are also places to volunteer like the welcome center.

[team_sociopath]

Responsible to a fault.

[inmyothertights]

....well you can have some.

[lookjustlike]

It's a finders fee, anyway.

[inmyothertights]

You totally would not charge me a finders fee.

[lookjustlike]

Well, maybe I'll do that. At least, once I feel like I'm comfortable enough with the City to welcome anyone to it.

[lookjustlike]

You think that about anyone who's more responsible than you, don't you?

[lookjustlike]

I might! I could be secretly very mercenary.

[inmyothertights]

There might very possibly be tears in my eyes.

But they also might very possibly be from intense hunger.

[team_sociopath]

I'm plenty responsible.

[lookjustlike]

Okay, I wouldn't really take advantage of your hungered and weakened state.

Also, I think I just found a likely prospect. Stay tuned.

[inmyothertights]

A job prospect or a kugel prospect?

Because either one would be amazing.

[lookjustlike]

A kugel prospect. But Euphie did have some job suggestions.

[inmyothertights]

Well you could come work at the bookstore that Neil and I run.

[lookjustlike]

I'm not saying I think you're completely irresponsible I'm just saying I don't think I have an abnormally high sense of responsibility.

For a superhero.

[lookjustlike]

Very tempting. Are you sure you'd want me around all the time though?

[inmyothertights]

I have been known to think that you're best when in person....

Do you think you could handle my being the boss?

[team_sociopath]

You overestimate super heroes then.

[deadly_legacy]

I understand. I tried to help people when I was still very new. I think it was a little wanting especially in terms of answers.
