Jack of All Trades (3x08 and onwards spoilers) - Angst, crack.morkhanNovember 28 2011, 03:23:44 UTC
AKA: The Adventures of Sam in Jobland.
When last we left Sam, he was a pizza delivery boy. When next we meet him, he will be a stripper (or so the rumors say).
This prompt is all about the steps in between. Sam has held a number of odd jobs over the course of the summer and fall. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to tell us the story of those jobs and how Sam found, and ultimately, lost each and every one of them.
What kind of jobs, you ask?
Whatever the Hell kind of jobs you can think of. :P
Suggestions: 1. Bounty Hunter. 2. Substitute Pallbearer. 3. Personal Assistant to a Mafia Don/Colombian Drug Lord. 4. Rickshaw Driver.
Etc. Feel free to use those or come up with your own. Write for as many or as few as you have inspiration for. Make it as cracky or angsty as you like.

seconded! I could totally see Sam on a cross-country mission, taking whatever jobs he could find, eating and sleeping wherever and with whomever he can.
I just don't want him to actually kill anyone as a bounty hunter tho. D:

Bounty Hunters aren't for killing people. They primarily track down people who try to jump their bail. The requirements for becoming one vary-- some states don't even require you to have a license.
Naturally, it can be a pretty dangerous job, but I imagine Sam would be catastrophically bad at it. :P

Oh well, goes to show you how much I know. xD And yes, I can see him failing at that pretty quickly.
I mostly just wanna see Sam pretending to be on some epic quest. Is it too much to ask to see him pushing someone in one of those push carts/ rickshaws that they have in Atlantic City?

You know that thing in movies, where you’ve spent the entire time yelling at the screen because the hero is being a idiot and all the terrible decisions and choices they’ve made are finally blowing up in their face and it’s horrible and it makes you flinch and you’re just groaning and all “dude you should have listened to me!”.
That moment, that is Sam’s life right now.
Because the thing is Sam thinks as being hauled against the side of a police and searched, his wrists stinging with the handcuffs, the bitter cold making his shoulder’s shiver, when you are sitting on your couch your mouth stuffed with popcorn it’s easy to guess what’s going to happen. When you’re actually in the situation…not so much.
***
It’s a small jump at first, from pizza boy to delivery boy. It’s that moment in that you tilt your head at the screen a say What now?, it’s transparently a setup for something it’s just never clear what. At first anyway.
One of the guys on Sam’s route is the one to suggest it. Sam had just had his hours slashed again because

And then things start to change. There are small white notes tied to his packages (which are always brown, rectangular, and tied tightly with twine), and then Chuck hands him a letter and tells him to drop it off with the package, and then it’s letter and messages, and look at weird tagging on brick walls to describe where they where and what they looked like. And before long Sam is almost never seeing a square of brown packages again and instead he’s carrying letters or saying weird things to guy’s on street corners or putting a certain pair of shoes on telephone wire for some reason. The whole thing is kind of cool and makes him feel a bit like a secret agent. (Sometimes, and he feels guilty about it, but he swaps his own shoes for the one’s he’s supposed to be wearing, because damn their nice and Sam doesn’t get a chance to have nice things very often
