A job. I need one. Right now.

[ he was perfectly content to bum around a bit longer waiting for something perfect to fall into his lap (which was realistically never going to happen), but recent developments have made that plan no longer as appealing.

namely that somehow xander harris managed to land a job nearly right away, and angel remains an unemployed bum. ]

Doesn't really matter what it is. [ a pause. ] As long as it's... not something stupid. [ okay, so maybe it matters a little. ]

This is abrupt. [ what is going on? ] What constitutes a stupid job? And why the hurry?

private voice ]

[helps]

[ he pauses, wondering how to phrase this best. ]

I just need one.

And I don't know... Something that sounds stupid, I guess.

If you were Doyle I'd ask if you owed somebody money. Okay, I'd just accuse you. But, this is you. Going a little stir crazy?

I worked in retail. Back in Sunnydale. It was lame but I don't know if it falls under the umbrella of stupid...

[ well, time for cordelia encouragement even if this overall seems stranger - wait, scratch that ]

Wait, do we pay rent? [ she wasn't told this. ]

[madcuriosity]

Wouldn't it be better to suggest what you're good at, sir?

[helps]

Oh. Right. That... I probably should have done that.

[ though that's also kind of difficult... ]

I'm good at helping people. [ that's a skill, isn't it? ]

[madcuriosity]

It's certainly a thought. Oh! But ah, looks like someone is doing that for you. Can you really memorize anything?

[withbettershoes]

Hi Alice.

[ a quick threadjack because, helping people, angel? ]

Just, for anyone's reference viewing any of this, Angel has a lot of useful skills. He's strong, both mentally and physically. He can remember everything. Literally. He's great at investigation. Great at research. He's a really good leader. There's no one else I trust more. In this city or anywhere.

[ now back to your regularly scheduled program of: angel's modesty (and cluelessness) ]

NOT HERE.

[redhourglass]

[ hmm. interesting. this is really good information to have~ ]

[madcuriosity]

How do you do, Miss Cordelia?

And goodness! That's incredible!

[redhourglass]

[ he probably doesn't recognize the face on the screen, but he should recognize the voice. ]

So, you've decided to get a job after all?

video.

[helps]

I figure it's about time.

[ a shrug. he'd rather not admit his more petty source of motivation. ]

video.

[redhourglass]

I suppose so.

[ she's still in the land of the unemployed. ]

What would your ideal job in this place be like?

[holmes_fanatic]

It's not hard to find a job here! Most citizens are really happy to have a Traveller involved in their business, and I got my first job here just walking into a place and asking! Actually that's how I got my second job too ...

Just think about the sort of job you'd like, and look for places that offer that here!

[video]

[helps]

That simple, huh?

[ though in retrospect, he's not really sure why he'd thought it'd be any harder than that either... ]

What do you do? I mean... what's your first job. Or your second one.

[ Hey Angel, say hello to the guy who gave Xander a job. ]

Do you get along with animals?

[helps]

[ he pauses, thinking about that for a second. ]

I do alright. [ better with animals than humans, probably. ]

[not_a_troll]

What kind of job do you have in mind? Scooping dung? Selling loafs of bread? Starting a super secret spy club and generate your own work through that?

[not here]

[withbettershoes]

[ Seriously? You again? ]

[voice]

[helps]

Those weren't really on my shortlist.

[ though the last one sounds kind of coo... no, no, definitely not going with any of these options. ]

[video]

[daddyissues]

[your kid looks pretty amused, for the record]

"Not something stupid?"

[i could say so many things...]

[video]

[helps]

[ he really could have phrased that better. ]

You know... Something cool.

[ okay he's not really helping his case here. ]

[tradingsecrets]

I can try and help you find a job.

[helps]

At this point, I could use the help.

[dumbguy]

[Hey hey no dissing, he's a job genius.]

Brooding vampire seeks unstupid work. Yeah, you'll lend something in no time.

[helps]

If you could do it, I'm sure I can.

[ simple as that. ]
