Okay, I get that if you're under eighteen, you get a check every month from the City. That's good, but I'd feel better if I worked for my money. I've been waiting tables which is... okay, but we eat out a lot and all the ramen is starting to rack up. I could use a second job if anybody is hiring. I'm very athletic and can do a decent amount of lifting and other manual labor so if you know somebody who knows somebody who needs somebody, let me know?

Or if they need security. I'll do security too. [Going from superhero to toy cop. Epic downgrade, Katherine.]


[Private to the Avengers, Coulson, Neil, and Todd.]

From what I understand is that Billy's at home now, so it's best you try not to ask Teddy about him today. Or how Teddy's doing himself. He's pretty down about it, understandably.

[A pause.]

Don't tell him I told you this.

Could always put your skills to use ensuring that the places of lesser moral character in the Underground suddenly lack their typical funding for illegal and often harmful activities.

Like a modern day Robin Hood. You rob from the evil rich to give to the poor. The poor being yourself.

[joiedeviolet]

[Mini-Loki, you got serious problems.]

Good idea, but I'd rather donate the money to charity if I did that.

[doeswhathewants]

[More than you know.]

Donate the majority of it to charity and keep some of it to live on? Oh! Or if you do not need to live on it, donate it all and consider it earning your keep here. No need to thank me for giving you such brilliant advice, it is simply one of those things I do.

[joiedeviolet]

Right. Next time, I'll skip the network and head straight for you.

[No, she won't.]

[doeswhathewants]

I am detecting a fair bit of sarcasm in that statement. And I must say, I find it ridiculously unfair of all of you to keep holding what my old and dead self did, against me. It might sabotage the whole second chance to not be evil thing I have going on at the moment. Having seen all six of the Star Wars movies, I consider myself an expert on self fulfilling prophecies.

[joiedeviolet]

Actually, it's the whole you tooting your own horn on advice giving that I'm holding against you.

[doeswhathewants]

Oh.

Well.

I find false modestly to be annoying. [So there!]

[joiedeviolet]

Not like being conceited's any better. [NO U.]

[doeswhathewants]

Is it truly conceit if one is being honest about their ability? [U MORE]

[joiedeviolet]

Totally, if you go around telling everybody about it when they never asked.

[doeswhathewants]

I was only pointing out the validity of my advice and in lieu of offering references in the form of satisfied advice takers, offered my own take on my own abilities.

[joiedeviolet]

But you telling me your advice is good doesn't really do much for me. It's like one of those self-published authors trolling their own review spaces with five star ratings on Amazon.

[doeswhathewants]

Thus you could attempt my advice and find out for yourself, after all, what part of my advice was suspect? [LOL] Tsk, that is hardly trolling, that is simply pathetic. Trolling would be writing a fan fiction better than the book and linking it in a low scoring review of the self published work on Amazon.

[joiedeviolet]

You don't want me to answer that. I bet you would do that too.

[doeswhathewants]

Not at all. I am hardly a scribe and have little time to pen a fan fiction. Unless the author personally annoyed me.

Kate, may I ask you a serious question?

[joiedeviolet]

What?

[doeswhathewants]

What was the last major thing that happened in the world before you came here?

[joiedeviolet]

[Yeah, that is not a question she is going to answer right now. Nope. No sir.]

Why?

[doeswhathewants]

As per usual, something bad is happening and I only wish to know if you have seen the outcome of it or whether you are behind the time I hail from.

[joiedeviolet]

What was happening when you left?

[doeswhathewants]

I am not sure I should say ... in case it might cause a paradox.

[joiedeviolet]

Then I shouldn't say what was happening when I left if that's the case.

[Sneaky Kate.]

[doeswhathewants]

Ah, shall we try it this way?

Giant Snake of Fear. Does it chime a bell?

[joiedeviolet]

No, but it probably will if you were a little more specific.

[beyourarmy]

The check was cool for a while, then I got bored.

You could always work at the zoo if you don't mind manual labor, and animals. Or check with Luke Valentine. Not sure if he needs anyone right now, but it never hurts to ask.
