Hey Chekov. How do you know when your birthday is here?

[anatural]

I've never had a job before. What do you do?

voice; REAL filter

[candothat]

I work in City Solutions' basement, mostly, and also do some accounting and computer things. [Although one does have to wonder when Chekov finds the time to work, considering how often he's available for shenanigans.] You would be happier with a more physical occupation, I believe.

voice; REAL filter

[anatural]

Yeah, sorry, I mean...how do you get one? I've never had a job before.

voice; REAL filter

[candothat]

You can address the network and ask if anyone is hiring. I found my job by talking to people with interests that are similar to mine.

voice; REAL filter

[anatural]

The whole network?

[She sounds nervous. She hates public speaking.]

voice; REAL filter

[candothat]

That would greatly improve your chances of getting a response.

voice; REAL filter

[anatural]

Is there any other way I can do it?

voice; REAL filter

[candothat]

Perhaps. What work would you like to do?

voice; REAL filter

[anatural]

Uh, what kinds of work are there?

voice; REAL filter

[candothat]

Every kind. Have you considered the police department?

voice; REAL filter

[anatural]

The police?

[skeptical]

voice; REAL filter

[candothat]

Yes. You're very strong; you would be good at fighting crime.

voice; REAL filter

[anatural]

[Yeah right. The last time Korra tried to fight crime, she nearly got herself and Mako killed. She barely defeated Amon, and not without loss.]

It takes more than strength to fight crime.

voice; REAL filter

[candothat]

[This sounds like something that shouldn't be prodded. Maybe Korra will talk about it later.]

There are other jobs. Several places Underground offer security positions.

voice; REAL filter

[anatural]

[If only Korra had such tact. You're the best friend ever, Chekov.]

Great! How do I get one of them?

voice; REAL filter

[candothat]

[Tact is a thing that those who can't muscle their way through life often need to learn. It can be handy!]

By going Underground and speaking to those who own such places, I would think.

voice; REAL filter

[anatural]

Okay. I can do that.

[Little does she know. It will not end well.]

voice; REAL filter

[candothat]

But be careful when you go. They are monsters and vampires down there.

[Not that he doesn't think Korra's more than capable of taking care of herself. After all, Chekov manages to navigate the Underground with relatively few mishaps.]

voice; REAL filter

[anatural]

I think I can handle a few monsters.

[PFFFFFT, vampires. Like those are real.]

voice; REAL filter

[candothat]

Especially if you are forewarned.

[Korra, you sound like you don't believe him!]
