video - this is stupid

Uh-- is this working? Hello?

[the screen picture is perfectly showing riptide's panicked expression.]

I have absolutely no idea-- uh. My name is Riptide! I was with the crew of the Moira, but now I have no idea where I am. Crazy, right? I think I passed out? I have no idea. Anyway, this is a call for help! I've been approached by people and-- it's awful! I need an extraction immediately!

[he groans dramatically.]

They want me to get a job! [he was recommended to get a job.] A job! Like-- like being employed somewhere! Being paid to have responsibilities! I think one of them even said I can buy a-- a place to live?! I... I need to sit down. I have literally been tortured before and I've never, at this exact moment, been more uncomfortable in my entire life!

Do you even need to pay for food or shelter?

I agree. I can tolerate being locked on a flying metal ship, have my lungs turn to glass, forced into a drugged state, be on that metal ship when it crashed into a wasteland. But a job? Maker, no. I'm not cut out for it.

I never knew robots could be such drama queens.

I could hire you.

To do... something. Job-ish?

[ Yeah, Nihlus is a bit more used to recruiting people for dangerous space missions and stuff more than hiring people on for civilian jobs. ]

Perhaps you should look into doing small jobs until you find something more permanent, such as collecting cans or caring for animals.

[That's what the robot (the lone robot) in his world did before Venom hired him.]
