Brave New World potential!

[You were looking so forwards to your lunch, so it's something of a disappointment to find out that your lunch has gone missing from the countertop you had it on just a minute ago.

That window wasn't open a minute ago, was it? Even if it was, it DEFINITELY didn't have a monferno tail hanging down from above it.]

[The other day, you got in a fight with Wukong. Not like an argument, a proper fight with punching and hurting. Whatever the cause of it, he seems to have gotten over it, and is all smiles once more.]

Hey you were pretty strong! I think we could be friends! What was that move where you were like:

[Elaborate fighting gestures and noises.]

It was crazy and I want to learn how to do it!

[The last hour or two has been spent trying to teach Wukong manners for some important purpose. Possibly to avoid a diplomatic incident, possibly because he asked for help. Either way...
Bless him, he's trying, but this isn't an experience that either of you are enjoying. Eventually he flops on his back and grabs his head in frustration.]

Everything was so much simpler in the jungle! Why you gotta make everything so complicated?

No I get that. It's boring, but I get it.

[And he probably will for another ten minutes.]

But what does a resume have to do with any of that? Surely people should be able to tell how great I am just by looking!

[indy_wannabe]

Because they want an idea of what you have and can actually do. Having had experience doing something before means you can be counted on to do it again.

[willbethebest]

Dull dull dull. If that's what you're doing I'll just go back out into the woods where you don't need money.

[indy_wannabe]

Well, if you look at it that way, I know the perfect job for you. Doesn't need a resume or any of that crap, very physical.

[willbethebest]

Whuzzat?

[indy_wannabe]

Forge work.

[willbethebest]

...Whuzzat?

[indy_wannabe]

Fire. Metal. Giant hammers. Think you can handle it?

[willbethebest]

I can handle anything you throw at me!

[indy_wannabe]

Well, if you think you're up to it. I know the Master Smith, I'll get you in.

[willbethebest]

This sounds way easier. What's a forge do? No wait don't tell me. I bet I'll figure it out right away.

[indy_wannabe]

Sounds good, I'll put in a good word.

[Wukong will, if he goes with this, have his ass kicked by a burly 40-something blacksmith who curses like a sailor and has no tolerance for weakness or whining]

[willbethebest]

[Later]

That wasn't fun at all!

[indy_wannabe]

I don't recall ever saying it was fun.

[willbethebest]

And people DO that? Willingly?

[indy_wannabe]

Well, yeah. It's important work.

[willbethebest]

Humans are stronger than I thought. That guy was scary...

[indy_wannabe]

He would probably tell you he just has high expectations.

[willbethebest]

Well getting yelled at is the source of your power, I'll put up with it for at least a FEW days.
