By lunch time, the booths were set up, the guests had arrived and there was quaint music playing from somewhere undetermined. Hawkeye is walking around with one of those portable microphone/speaker set-ups, roaming from booth to booth announcing the various guests that have come to Fandom to talk about their professions ( Read more... )

WELCOME/GENERAL TALK drywitmartini July 21 2006, 07:10:36 UTC

"Welcome to the first Fandom High Careers Fair. The gates are open, the booths are manned and they're ready for your questions. All welcome!"

Re: WELCOME/GENERAL TALK can_be_more July 21 2006, 13:36:16 UTC

Aeryn arrives, looking maybe a little intimidated and hoping she doesn't have to pick a career or anything today. They didn't exactly have these where she's from. She doesn't know. Yeah, the good mood's gone and she's definitely back to normal now.

Jamie waved at Aeryn. "So you ready to pick out your future?"

Re: WELCOME/GENERAL TALK can_be_more July 22 2006, 01:47:30 UTC

"Not even close," she says honestly. "Maybe I can commute to my own universe and back at five...?"

FOOD & DRINK STAND drywitmartini July 21 2006, 07:10:46 UTC

"Everyone, don't forget to drink plenty of fluids and get a snack or two. Come on over to the concession stand and get something to boost your energy."

Re: FOOD & DRINK STAND multi_madrox July 21 2006, 15:45:07 UTC

Jamie grabs an Orange Lazurus and begins to check out the booths.

Pippi grabs a plate of fruit and wanders about.

Tim grabs a gatorade.

MEDIC/MILITARY drywitmartini July 21 2006, 07:11:24 UTC

"He looks a lot like our own Sheriff, only purple and not as intimidating. Come and meet Medical Officer Frank "Doc" DuFrense. He's here to answer all of your questions about being a medic or being a conscientious objector in the military."

Re: MEDIC/MILITARY lessthen3medic July 21 2006, 08:29:41 UTC

"Hi there boys and girls! As you've been told, I'm Medical Officer Frank DuFrense. Most people call me 'Doc', which is actually incorrect. I'm not a Doctor, I'm a Medic. There's a big difference." the guy in the purple metal suit explained. "Doctors cure people. Medics just make them comfortable until they die they can get to a Doctor."

((OOC: Despite what Doc just said, please do call him Doc.

Re: MEDIC/MILITARY oatmanspatient July 21 2006, 15:53:43 UTC

"Why did you get into the military if you are a conscientious objector?"

Re: MEDIC/MILITARY lessthen3medic July 21 2006, 16:58:40 UTC

"Well, I'm a pacifist so that's the 'objector' part. I don't agree with violence as a way of settling disputes, but war happens and people get hurt. And I wouldn't want people to suffer if I can help them. I may not agree with war, or that the powers that be have chosen it as a course of action. But the suffering should be comforted and the innocent protected. Also, I thought it would be easier to effect change from the inside. That's the 'conscientious' part."

NEWS ANCHOR drywitmartini July 21 2006, 07:11:52 UTC

"If news is your business, stop by the news anchor booth and talk to Mr Ron Burgundy!"

Re: NEWS ANCHOR stay_classy_ron July 21 2006, 13:24:59 UTC

"Good morning everyone. I'm Ron Burgundy, news anchor for Channel Four News in San Diego."

Ron runs a hand through his delicious hair and gives a wink to any ladies out there. "I guess being a news anchor is like being a Moses. Bringing the word of the world to the people. Is that Moses? Or is it Noah? Perhaps it's Jesus...no, wait. I'm no Jesus. Even if he did have great hair."

Ron began to laugh to himself, loudly. He was even laughing when he went to take a gulp of his coffee. "Knights of Columbus that coffee is hot!"

Re: NEWS ANCHOR oatmanspatient July 21 2006, 15:52:44 UTC

Marty seems intrigued by the news anchor. "How did you get such great hair?"

Re: NEWS ANCHOR stay_classy_ron July 21 2006, 16:04:25 UTC

"Well my hair stylist Audrey would like to say that she's the one responsible. But I'm the man behind it all. Good genetics and lots of Aqua Net is all it takes." says Ron, once again brushing a hand through his hair.

"And as for the mustache...well, that's all man right there. You need testicles of steel to grow a mustache like this."

He places a plastic box on the table. "Lucky for you I brought free fake mustaches for everyone. Take one and feel the power. Women will flock to you like seagulls after a ham sandwich."

CHILD CARE/NANNYING drywitmartini July 21 2006, 07:12:16 UTC

"For those of you who are more into the caring side of things or if you like kids, come and see Ms Mary Poppins at the Child Care & Nannying booth."

Re: CHILD CARE/NANNYING just_a_spoonful July 21 2006, 17:52:04 UTC

"Good afternoon," Mary said brightly, setting aside an umbrella with a parrot-head handle and holding a dark carpet bag.

"Being a nanny - or, well, a childcare professional," she gave her booth a critical look, "is far more difficult than one would naturally assume."

She eyed the children in her vision. "What have you all been up to today? Have you taken your medicine. Even if you don't feel ill, cough syrup never did a single person any harm!"

Yeah, she was kind of Victorian and completely unaware of the use of cough syrup as a recreational relaxant. Go figure.

Re: CHILD CARE/NANNYING chasingangela July 21 2006, 17:57:39 UTC

"How did you become a nanny?" Angela asked. It wasn't tops on her career list, but she had babysat.

Re: CHILD CARE/NANNYING just_a_spoonful July 21 2006, 18:04:15 UTC

"Why, it's the only thing I've ever wanted to do," she replied. "I didn't go to nanny academy or anything of that sort, if that's what you mean. I simply bucked up my chin, and decided I could and would care for children because I had the time, the inclination, and most certainly the ability." She patted her bag with a knowing smile.
