My phone works Existence-wide. You do phones?

@Multifarious

Yeah, I do phones. Do you have Bump?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Of course. Thanks for at least considering it!

@Multifarious

Sure. Next time I go to HQ I'll ask—is there an easy way to get in contact?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Heroes are the idealist’s job, but this kind of work is just as necessary. Besides, it’s not like I’d be signing my life away with an apprenticeship. If it comes to be that it isn’t meant to be, then I’ll still appreciate the experience.

@Multifarious

*Shrugs*
Fair enough. Just make sure that you don't lose yourself in the process.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Everyone. If I’m contributing to putting down threats, that’s helping everyone who might have suffered in the future for them continuing to roam free.

@Multifarious

This job lives in the world of information. Are you sure you don't want, deep down, to be a hero?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

My dad was a tyrant with a vision, and my uncle an assassin and anarchist at the minimum. I fully understand and accept the idea that doing what we believe to be necessary can require some less than favorable actions. But I’m ready for it.

@Multifarious

The second thing is that you want to help the world. Who are you helping with this?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Oh?

@Multifarious

The first thing is that we're not heroes. Sometimes you have to do things that you really don't want to do. Things that keep you up at night. You might be able to avoid some of that at first, but stay in it long enough and you'll soon find that the difference between a good guy and a bad guy is more than just the color of their cape.

I guess so. Maybe I’ll even come around on it and not be a therapist, who knows? But right now it’d just be alongside school.

@Multifarious

*My eyes fixate on yours for a moment*
...I'll ask for you. But there are some parts of the job you need to be aware of before you jump into it. Nothing about it is black and white.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Of course! But that’s just for a job, a career. This stuff gives me a way to help the world with my fullest potential, and the scope is much, much wider.

@Multifarious

So you're telling me you want to be an investigator by night?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Would you be opposed to a more long-term, like... Apprenticeship? I’ve been wanting to find a way to start contributing to the benefit of Existence at large, and I feel like this stuff is right up my alley.

@Multifarious

I can ask my boss about it. But now you've got me curious—didn't you say you wanted to do therapy?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Nods*
I can certainly see that!
*Folds my hands behind my back and shuffles nervously*
Say, could I ask you kind of a major question?...

@Multifarious

Sure, why not?
