Life's hard out here for a dog (IC)

[SolidSamurai]

It's a hot day out in the sunshine state today...

Outside a homeless man curses in surprising proximity to your window. You roll out of bed onto stale carpet.

God damn, I hate my life. Your brain mutters.

You make your way to the bathroom, wash your face, shave, then get dressed, not bothering to shower. What's the point after all? You've got no one to impress. And no one to suck up to.

But let's just hope you can survive for at least 2 more months.

------------------------------------------------------------

Post character introductions here (include rental fee, long term and immediate expenses (ie. gas, heat and water bills) above your IC introduction) and then we can get this RP on the road. :)

NOTE: Other immediately viewable status (along with name as appears on ID card) must always appear above every post you make in-character.

Start posting. That's the point of the new thread. ;)

Alright, Here i go:P


*Beep Beep!*
*Beep Beep!*
*Beep Beep!*
"Mother-"
Joe got up, slammed the snooze button on his alarm clock, and sat up.
'Another day in hell," he thought. Joe got dressed, a sleazy yellow-brown mixture T-Shirt, and his ripped-up jeans. He started his day as usual, a cup of coffee from the coffee stand right outside his apartment. Joe turned on his computer, got on the internet, and started to look for job opportunities. Gay jobs. Joe turned off his computer, and went outside. It was a wonderful day, but for Joe Gram it was the same shameful day over and over agian. He went inside and started breakfast. His leftover coffee and waffles. He was in the middle of eating when the phone rang. Joe went over to pick it up, and noticed a note slipped under the door. Joe picked up the phone.
"Hello?" He anwered.
"Welcome. You have been accepted to win a brand new Corvette from the Atlantis Throne Hotel! Just rush in this week to be elli-"
Joe hang up the phone. Another advertisment. Anyway, he went to the door and read the note.
It read: 'Dear Joe Gram

I realize you've been looking for a job. I also have noted you have had previous experience with guns. Sniper Rifles, specifically. We have a nice paying job for you, if you're looking for a job.

Abandoned Warehouses, A10, Bel-Air Industries.

Have A Nice Day

OOC: It might be important to also mention your most important applications your character's filed (the one's he/you believe he'll most likely get a job in) above every post. Other applications you can list only if I ask for it.

I'll allow freestyling, considering that'll make my job alot easier. :)

Currently, your character might not believe he's getting a job, but if he's got an interview oppurtunity with *gun manufacturing, gun testing, shooting range family fun? Insert employer here*, then you can feel free to list it. It really doesn't matter, but after awhile, you might have to list at least something.

I'll intervene with npcs occassionally, or whenever I feel the need to challenge you (this might go a lot like BI's evacuation RP). Currently, I might even intervene with the gun employer in some way, but we'll leave that until Joe arrives at the location *be sure to tell me roughly where it is; near whatever major road/street, listed in yellow on google maps*.

[Polkaman]

Uhhh. I need the location????

Dammit... LoL being 13 sucks -.-

[SolidSamurai]

OOC: Just tell me whichever major road or street (yellow letters on google maps) your location is closest to (it could be 100km away, really; in that case though, you might wanna give some scale estimate, like say 'very far away/beyond walking distance'). The entire apartment building complex you live in may be fictional if you so desire and I'll go with it.

A black man yammers loudly in the distance, outside Joe's door, "'Eh Jackie?! What's all this about the governor releasing 20,000 prisoners into california? Feel like I gotta blame you for this mistake or somethin'."

"What can I say? The sunshine state's become a cesspool state twice over."

"I've heard that one before."

OOC: These are little immersive tidbits. Big things that happen in the news in real life might affect you directly. ;)

Sorry i couldn't post for a while. Anyway, here i go.

Joe folded the letter, and stuffed it in his jacket, which he put on right away. Joe headed outside, and waited at the bus stop in front of his apartment. Joe waited. And waited. And waited. Finally a bus came. 24. His route was 76.
"Dammit, dumb buses."
Joe checked the bus schedule. Route 76 was an infrequent route running on the outskirts of the city, so another one wasn't coming soon.
"one and a half hours? damn," Joe cursed.
Joe was hungry, he hadn't eaten anything for a while. A burger King was nearby, thank goodness.
"This'll do."
Joe went to the Burger King, and ordered a whopper, large fries, and a coke.
"$7.45, please," the worker said.
Joe searched his wallet. three. freaking. dollars. Joe sighed. A job wouldn't be so bad, he thought. Wasn't that where he was going? Joe cursed, ordered just the frie, and headed out. He snacked on the fries until, one and a half ours. 76 finally came, and joe got on. He barely had enough for the bus. actually, he was $.25 short. He was let on anyway. Thirty minuites later, Joe got off from a bus stop about 2 or 3 blocks away from the warehouses. He walked tiredly for about 10 minuites, until he came upon the warehouses, with a bus stop right by the entrace.
"Wow" Was all Joe had to say.
He entered, just as the letter instructed, warehouse A10. As soon as he got in, he heard mind-nuzzling sniper shots from within the warehouse. He went in more. He could see some people shooting at moving targets in the room.
"Hey, im-"
Joe was cut off by 2 men in black suits strangling him, then knocking him unconsious with a hard object he never got to see.

OOC: Keep posting. I still haven't a clue of your employer's intentions, and I don't wanna feel like I interfered with anything when I wasn't really meant to.

[Polkaman]
