4th Job - VOICE

Nobody seems to run this town, if you get me. I'm not talking about the Mayor or whoever, I'm talking about who really runs things.

In my New York, you had the Big Man. Got a couple of big players here, but I'm guessing the whole "never know when you going to pop out" makes things not so good for business.

But there’s got to be someone who wants

Was that supposed to be coherent?

I'm talking about crime bosses, smart guy.

[undeadsidekick]

No really. And you think they're just going to talk back.

[ Beat. He really didn't think this through. ]

Can't blame a guy for making conversation.

In my experience the presence of metahumans destroys anything like 'regular' crime families and organizations. We had the Doom Syndicate, but they were strictly second-string. They organized, but only because on own they were [even less than a threat than Megamind was] of a negligible threat level, all things considered.

If a supervillain is the main event, the organized crime and team players are usually only the opening act; the KISS Coverband as opposed to the actual appearance of Gene Simmons.

[someonetoscold]

Where I come from, let's just say the big players paid big bucks for supervillains. But I got you. Once you go super, you can't go back.

[pluckyreporter]

The very idea of being on anybody's payroll would have been a massive affront to the Supers of nearly any city, and liable to lead to retaliation to think that they could be bought so pettily.

[someonetoscold]

Y'think it's insulting?

[technophantom]

I know that business is risky to conduct on the Network.

[oh and unnecessarily]

Speaking.

Encrypted; it was so nice of ghost to give them to him way back when

[someonetoscold]

Yeah, no kidding. Looks like I'm a freelancer, only nobody's hiring.

Been way too long since my last job and that didn't go so good. Thought you might know a good place t'look.

Encrypted; Ghost is a strong believer in privacy*!! *(his own)

[technophantom]

You need the money?

Encrypted;

[someonetoscold]

Rent got to be paid somehow.

Looking for an employer, or announcing your candidacy?

[someonetoscold]

Do I sound like I want part of that headache? Nah, being on top's not my gig.

[nottheanswers]

Then just looking for someone to align yourself with. Nice of you to do it so publicly.

[someonetoscold]

Bet I'd get all sorts of places if I didn't talk to nobody. [ He's... already regretting this post. ]
