[Video/Fourth Wall]

[justwonthegame]

[Mike is looking as cunning as he ever gets, which is not a lot, but. Take what you can get from a Johnson.]

Wow, it's really busy today, isn't it? Huge amount of people, coming in. I'm sure there are businesses around here that could use some extra staff, or, you know, maybe somebody full time. Because just incidentally, my brother is looking for a job. His name is Axl Johnson, and he has a lot of free time on his hands. Here's his number. [He posts his number to the bottom of the entry. He doesn't even bloody care if his brother gets a few weird phonecalls in the pursuit of getting him into the Real World.]

He's tall as, and he can take instruction [reasonably well, sometimes]. The best reference I can give being as we've been abducted into an alternate universe or something is myself. He's done building work with me before for his college apprenticeship, so he has experience in a working atmosphere, and he knows how to [sit on his arse and eat sandwiches] contribute. He'll be available starting today.

[Just. The smile in his icon, and then he shuts off the video.]

And perhaps this will stop him from listening in on private conversations.

[friggmagnet]

Um... Mike? What are you doing?

[justwonthegame]

What does it look like?

[justwonthegame]

What did he do.

[friggmagnet]

You can't just go giving people my phone number!

[asofwar]

Followed my Queen around.

[justwonthegame]

Looks like I just did. You can handle it. If it gets bad, we'll change your number. Meanwhile, you might be able to start contributing.

Your Queen? [Wait. WAIT. The penny drops.] As in th--as in Frigg?

[friggmagnet]

You are seriously annoying when you decide to play dad.

[asofwar]

...will you resort to mumbling as well now?

[justwonthegame]

You wouldn't have to deal with it if you'd looked for a job on your own.

[friggmagnet]

You're the one who said it was stupid we have to look for work when we're kidnapped.

[justwonthegame]

So that's a yes. I'm not mumbling. Frigg's our queen as well, and important to us. I can understand why Axl might have been a bit overexcited.

But I'm sorry he was rude.

[asofwar]

We resolved it.

[justwonthegame]

Yes...it's stupid.

It doesn't mean it isn't still the right thing to do.

[friggmagnet]

But that doesn't make any sense!

[justwonthegame]

Did you? Alright, good. Resolved it how?

video; private

[asofwar]

We traded.

[justwonthegame]

I can't go around using my powers here, Axl. There are lots of people with powers here, and if somebody works me out, there goes my primary source of income, and my trustworthiness. We have no idea how long we're staying here and we need to stay low profile.

So I have a job, doing building work again, and I'm not going to be the only one pulling the weight if you and Zeb are going to be living in the same flat as me.

[justwonthegame]

Traded...traded what?

private;

[friggmagnet]

So why can't I just work for you again?

[asofwar]

He was allowed a question if he answered one.

[godofpickuplines]

Oh, yeah, I'm sure there are loads of people wanting to hire someone as useless as Axl.

private;

[justwonthegame]

Because it's not that kind of job, yet. I need to build a reputation here. If you end up working somewhere really shit, I can probably bring you in in a couple of months.

[justwonthegame]

Aaand which question did he answer?

[He knows the response--no. He fears the response.]
