Don't quit your day job 2
~Meeplelard




Seifer leaned back in his chair. Still the same boring (but high-paying) job as a career counselor. Sure, he didn't really do much besides pick out jobs for people at random, but it was thanks to him that a certain Godlike swordsman had discovered his true calling in the cooking business, so he at least had that feather in his cap. He called his first client in.

In came a young girl with violet-colored hair. She seemed a bit nervous.

"Yes, state your name, please."

"Oh, yes, sorry. I'm Florina."

"Experiences, reason for being here, whatever, just get to the point."

"Well, this mercenary job isn't really working out for me, was hoping I could do something else and...impress someone..."

"Mercenary, eh? What kind?"

"A pegasus knight from Ilia...though I did spend a year in Caelin..."

"So you have experience fighting?"

"Some, yes."

"Well, in that case, you'll be perfect as a security guard for the new Dueling League maximum security prison, instituted to deal with all those...interruptions...that have been happening lately."

"Wait, you mean...that place that has all those lecherous men?"

"Yes."

"But, but, but, but, I...I can't even fight without my pegasus!"

"So bring it with you." he said, handing her the papers

"But..."

"No buts! NEXT!" Seifer shouted, forcing Florina out the door. After she exited, an oddly dressed native of Nede entered.

"Alright, name, reason for coming here, get it out. I don’t have all day."

"I'm Noel. I'm a lover of all things in nature…I want to start a preservation area for endangered animals, but I don’t have the money."

"Alright...you're an outdoorsman, eh?"

"Yes! I know the wilderness like the back of my hand!"

"In that case, you'll be a lumberjack."

"WHAT?"

"Oh come on, it’s not like you're hurting animals..."

"But I'm hurting those trees! And those squirrels and birds will lose places to live!"

"I'm running low on openings - well, not really, but I need an excuse - so that’s your only choice. Take it or get out!"

"...alright, you win," Noel said. He walked out of the room, muttering to himself.

“Gets easier every time, heheh," Seifer chuckled.

"NEXT!"

In walked a young blond wearing a tattered green robe.

"I'll tell you this now; I am only here because the True Wind Rune willed it to be so. You cannot go against the destiny ordained by the Rune."

"Yeah, yeah, if I had a nickel for every time I heard that...well, I’d have a nickel. That’s a new one. Whatever. What experience do you have?"

"I successfully caused a devastating war and brought together the elemental True Runes!"

"Why?"

"Because I hate all life, and wanted to die."

"...so why didn't you just kill yourself?"

"Because I'd die then!"

"...then why...oh screw it. Anything else?"

"I kill stuff with wind magic."

"Oh, so you’re a mage? Thought you were just another lunatic…”

"As I said, the True Wind Rune willed it! All will perish, as the Rune commands!"

"...all right. You’d make a perfect construction worker!"

"... I KNOW that's not the True Wind Rune's will."

"Yes, it’s MY will. Now get to it."

"I’m no brute. I use my brains, not my hands!"

"So use your brains and figure out how to work with your hands – either put a hard hat on, or you aren't getting a job. I’m sure you can figure that out," Seifer said, throwing a stack of papers at Luc and pushing him out the door.

Disgusted, he called in his last client. In walked a teenage boy, white hair, red scarf, and dressed like the most stereotypical Indian Seifer had ever seen.

"Let’s just get this over with. I still can't believe Gallows talked me into coming here..."

"So...you already take orders from someone?"

"I hang around with these…people. They sort of forced me to tag along with them. I can't seem to pull away from them, especially since everywhere they go seems to make me learn more about myself."

"Well, sounds like you have good people skills..."

"Oh, shut up."

"I like your attitude...which is why you'd make a perfect social worker."

"Well, I suppose that isn't so...wait, what?”

"Yes."

"And your logic is..."

"…yes?"

"...I hate you," Jet said. He got ready to pull out his gun, and thought better of it when he saw Seifer’s own gunblade.

"Hey look, considering your situation, I'd say you got off easy…compared to the other people I’ve seen today..."

"You’ll pay for this…"

"Yeah, yeah, everyone says that...sort of. Anyway, get going, or you’re fired."

Another day’s work done for Seifer. But the question remains: who ends up the most successful of the bunch?
  • Florina learns to deal with her surroundings, and keeps things under control
  • Noel finds ways of coping with his job, and gets the money he needs
  • Luc remembers he can summon golems, and puts them to work instead of his hands
  • Jet actually learns people skills!

Florina with a bunch of guys- Shes curled up in a ball in the corner

Noel even if he tried to cut a tree, his attack is so bad it would take 20 turns

Jet cant learn people skills, your either born with them, or you have to spend the rest of your life learning them

Luc's physical is bad, but his Golems Physical is decent enough. and what are golems made out of? Bricks. Luc has his golems dismantle other golems and uses them to build things, all while lounging around eating chips and donuts, like all other construction workers.

Florina: 20
Noel: 2
Luc: 35
Jet: 14

It's pretty simple really. Three of these people are being forced to do jobs that go against their beliefs and personalities. Noel is more likely to strap himself to a tree in protest than cut one down himself, manual labor is so beneath Luc that he'd walk out in disgust after taking one look at a hard hat, and Jet gaining people skills is only a little more impossible than Jogurt winning a Godlike championship.

Florina, however, is being asked to keep prisoners in check. Not look after them as a maid or handle them with care, but keep them in check. If anything, her fear of men will be a boon here, because the moment one of them gets anywhere near her, her immediate reaction would be to pound and stab them repeatedly with her spear then have Huey stomp them a few times for good measure.

Looks like someone's going to earn a few brownie points from her green haired love interest.

Florina is the best prison guard because the prisoners have long since given up on getting female attention, thus making her job rather easy without any 'lecherous' distractions. Her biggest trouble is keeping the prisoners from 'killing' eachother.

florina, well somehow her pegasus manage to squeeze into the prison and help her with the inmates. That, and some help from the DL God-like to keep things cool.

Tough choice between Florina and Luc.
