[technology like this is easier to learn the second time around. so steve rogers, product of the 1940's, takes to the tab like a duck to water.]

Just when I thought I couldn't get any farther from Brooklyn, I end up on another planet. But between the cave and all those Flash Gordon comics that my buddy and I used to read, maybe I should've seen this one coming.

[speaking of buddies:]

My name's Steve Rogers. I'm looking for anyone who might've ended up here with me, or maybe knew me before that. [steve frowns, brows thoughtfully furrowed.] Or...after that, I guess. I hear I look a little bit different then.

I'd also rather not waste any time when it comes to pulling my own weight, but I'd like to do that while also helping others. If anyone knows of jobs that can do both, I'm all ears. Thanks.

No, but I've seen you around here, before. When you were a big dude.

So you're used to doing odd jobs.

I was already here?

[steve's surprised, until he remembers that that happened before too. people would know him, tell him that he should be taller. maybe that's the pattern, his future self paving the way everywhere he goes now.]

Yeah, exactly. I like to do everything that I can, as long as it doesn't involve any little red wagon.

Pretty sure it was you. So don't be surprised if you run into him-- you? And watch out cause he could bench press like 50 yous.

We don't even got a car, but we got an office. Sometimes its real shit work, though-- once, literally.

[ok, that part is new. steve gives himself a few moments to think about it, prepare for it, before nodding to himself.]


What kind of work do you do? It sounds- [what's the polite way to put this? got it.] challenging.

Odd jobs kinda thing-- if it makes money and it ain't too dangerous, we'll do it. I do info brokering on the side but that's more my deal.

Whatever pays the rent. I remember those days, wouldn't have cared if the work was dangerous or not. I never got a lot of those jobs though.

[brokeassgoing]

Can't pay anything if you're dead...but I see what you mean. Depending on what you can do, we'll settle ya with something you want. Or you know, shit.

[steve perks up a little at that.]

Yeah? I can do anything you need me to do. All I need is a chance.

audio;

[brokeassgoing]

Next time shit hits the fan, a buncha jobs open up. Oh-- I've got an office in Kauto, R1. Called Stray Jobs.

[prespangled]

Would it be okay if I stopped by? Maybe talked face to face?

audio;

[brokeassgoing]

Yeah man, that's fine with me. I'm usually there and if not, my secretary is.
