So, I've been thinking about finding work as a Scavenger--what's that line of work like? Rewarding, tedious, mechanically and creatively fulfilling, dull?

It can be rewarding and fulfilling, depending on what you find; it is rarely dull or tedious.

Rarely dull and tedious? Even if I spend my day working through one pile? (and hello, I don't believe we've met).

[burntorangesky]

You have simply neglected to take the trash golems into account.

I don't believe we have; my name is Fred.

You're the second person I've heard mention this trash golem, what kind of beastie would it be?

A pleasure, Fred! I'm Geoff.

Head Scavenger here speaking~ ♥ Would you like to meet in person to discuss the job sometime?

[sandcastleking]

Ah, Bridge, yes? I would love to, name a time and a place.

[handy_psychic]

Yup, that's me! How about at Smoke's bar, tomorrow evening around 7?

The hours are pretty good, you're free to roam about and dig up things on your own or take a co-worker as a partner (advisable on the first days, until you figure out the finer points of dealing with trash golems). It's a veritable gold mine for the mechanically inclined.

Not for people who don't care to get their hands dirty, mind.

Sounds like a playground.

Although what on earth is a trash golem?

[live_ringer]

For certain folk, I guess it could be.

They're... you know, I can't be sure of what they are, exactly. I haven't really taken a close look after dispatching one but, from the looks of it, they're sentient creatures made entirely of Scrapyard junk. They're a bit mindless and territorial, meaning they have no reservations about attacking people.
