8th Partridge [Action][Let's Do Some Yard Work]

Apr 21, 2011 19:43

[Ian. Is. Determined.

So far most of his jobs have ended in failure, because he's not... exactly the best at any of them. Aaand in this universe he has no idea his blood has healing properties, so it's a little tougher for him to make a living off himself. BUT THIS TIME WILL BE DIFFERENT!! For he has borrowed some supplies from Nami-he'll pay you ( Read more... )

sorry your papa sucks kids, is that irony or... uh... just shitty lu, ian is awful at everything, working always, au event, i can't garden

[HOW IS BABBY TREE FORMED

This kind of question gets Robert's attention. Because being groomed for an entire lifetime to do a job he doesn't want to do? It makes this kind of question resonate.]

I am a teacher myself. The mathematics teacher. [If you don't already know me from the rumours.]

In my case... I always wanted to teach, to educate the community and foster learning and give back somehow... and I have my research projects on the side... [Because even in an AU, he's still a scientist.]

There are many career paths out there. If you can find something you enjoy doing, and turn it into a career, it hardly even feels like a career at all.

(OOC: Feel free to have Ian know/not know Robert in this AU 8D He might know Robert from the many unpleasant rumours about him, as the weird eccentric heir of the magitechnology corporation who took a teaching job for no reason and is inordinately close to several people :|a)

[Meanwhile Robert is operating under the impression that he's sterile, himself. And he may actually be so for the AU, not that anyone is likely to go checking. :|;]

I try to...

... it, er, helps that my parents... are no longer around.

Which is to say, the Third Party killed them quite some time ago.

[His voice is... faraway when he says this.]

Re: [Voice] my_yoke_broke May 2 2011, 08:47:01 UTC

Ah... I understand. My parents are dead, too.

[Granted they died over a hundred years ago, thanks to him outliving them with his luceti-granted powers of immortality, but still... he gets it.]

But I think they'd want me to just be happy, no matter what I did.

Re: [Voice] my_yoke_broke May 2 2011, 08:47:15 UTC

Granted, I'm not doing too well finding what makes me happy in work, but I'll keep on tryin'! Aha!

[Voice] semper_cogitans May 2 2011, 19:03:12 UTC

Hopefully I've managed to give some helpful suggestions, then?

At any rate, I wish you the best of luck in any of your future endeavours.

[And Robert gives one of his rare smiles.]

Re: [Voice] my_yoke_broke May 3 2011, 04:48:03 UTC

Ah, thank you! And hey-you, too, huh?

[Ian is chock-full of smiles, no problems there.]
