So we’re all done with the drinking of the milk now, right? And we can return to our regularly scheduled only-occasional-dying?

Great, that’s.. great. Really good to hear. Glad everyone made it out of that fiasco alive and kicking...

Because i’ve got a question. [ a beat ] What do we do about jobs around here? I’m guessing that living

No one told you what your job was? That's funny. The children in our house told us what we were supposed to be doing.

[There's an awkward pause.]

I'm a housewife.

This place is awful.

[toomanly]

A housewife isn't a job, it's a way of life. Not that I think it's a good one, I just mean it's not what I think a woman..

-- And i'm gonna stop that thought right there. [ yup, with the awkward pausing. ] Awful's a pretty big understatement, isn't it.

[duck_duck_laser]

[There's a sigh, and a stifled snicker.]

It's what they defaulted me to. "Oh moms don't have jobs, that's silly! Go bake us some cookies!"

...this still doesn't sort out your issue of not knowing what you are supposed to be doing. Did you ask around?

[toomanly]

This was sort of my way of asking around. Seeing as I was doing the asking. But I need to do more of it, stop by some places, see what I can find.

[ a beat ] Can you make good cookies, at least?

You eat bacon?

[toomanly]

Some... times? I'm not one of those people who thinks it needs its own food group, but I wouldn't send it back home, either.

[wingsaflutter]

I don't think it's healthy for you. [Which is just her way of saying "Ew, gross."]

[toomanly]

I don't think existing is healthy for anyone at this point.

[Susan, on the other hand, is far too dignified to run into anyone. She'll just go intangible for a moment or two and let Xander run through her.]

[ Once he realizes what he's done, with the walking through of the woman, he starts to go a little bit... flaily. ]

Oh god. Did I just- are you- [ there's a few more 'oh god's' ] ...Are you okay? I didn't break you or anything, did I?

[deaths_heritor]

I died and came back as a ghost, actually. It was really rather rude of you.

[Susan rolls her eyes a bit at this display.]

[toomanly]

[ Xander is oblivious to the eye rolling while he continues to be.. the most awkward. ]

O-oh, so you're a real live ghost. Without the live part, because you're a... ghost. [ a beat ] But wait- I thought everyone who died here came back? Alive, I mean.

Sooner or later your alleged workplace will call you up and ask why you've been slacking off. Expect it to be something that has nothing to do with your actual skills.

[toomanly]

My alleged workplace? So i'll already be in the doghouse before I even get to start working this job I don't want in the first place? Great. Sign me up.

Re: [Phone]

[kettchmeifucan]

That's the gist of it. They never seem to really care that they were calling you in though. Once the town decides what you do you have to show up every three days or you get droned though.

[toomanly]

The curse of the working man, I guess, showing up on time for that pesky job. Had to do it back home, think I can pull it off here somehow.

[And you've just run staright into a super strong, razor toothed, teenage shark demi-god. Have fun!]

Hey...

[toomanly]

Sorry, I wasn't- [ Wait, are those.. oh god, why does he make the worst life choices in all the land, now you might have to excuse Xander for staring. ]

-- I think this is what i'm supposed to say something about what big teeth you have.

Please.

Do go on...

Not if I have to be little red riding hood.
