So I was looking through that survey, and I noticed that a lot of people had... interesting professions. I'd like to get to know my neighbors too, so tell me about your job, or whatever it is you do! If you're a student, what do you want to do when when you're finished with school ( Read more... )

Assassin.

[Uh. Okay, that... wasn't a response he was expecting. How to approach this with tact?]

...How's that working out for you?

[..A pause as he considers how to write it. And then after a tab of his quill on the paper-]

I left.

[Well that's a relief. Now that he doesn't feel so threatened, he can go back to being curious.]

Why?

I'm a State Alchemist.

controlroute November 21 2009, 22:09:51 UTC

Alchemy? Like... turning lead into gold and creating elixirs of life?

truthspuppet November 21 2009, 22:13:02 UTC

Sorta. That stuff is taboo though.

Oh! Sorry, I didn't mean to imply anything, I'm just not familiar with it beyond common mythology. What exactly do you do, then?

What's the internet?

controlroute November 22 2009, 10:41:25 UTC

This one's always tough. The internet is kind of like our journal network, but also a really vast library. It's a network you access from computers that lets people do things like talk to each other from far away or find information on any topic they want. Does that make sense?

idle_magic November 22 2009, 14:15:25 UTC

That's interesting. Something like that would've been really useful back home.

With so many people here, I guess it's not surprising to find some with such unique professions. You already know what I do, though.

controlroute November 22 2009, 10:43:29 UTC

Well... tell me about how you got into it then. Did you just decide you wanted to be a tactician?

mydearapple November 22 2009, 23:02:44 UTC

Not at all. My brother and I come from a family of famous military strategists and, as such, it's expected that we would grow up to do the same. It's not something I had much of a choice in, I suppose, but I don't dislike it, either. Knowing that I can use my skill to help people is what's most important.

controlroute November 29 2009, 03:06:16 UTC

Wow. Lucky coincidence, huh? Is there anything you would do instead if you weren't expected to be a tactician?
