[ Well then. ]

I guess?
The housemate shuffling gets old fast.

[ Is it illegal to punt a teenager through a window?? ]

[infomodder]

[Well then indeed.]

It really does.
Get a bad egg?

[Things he wouldn't say to Certain People, that right there.]

[boobwindow]

Something like that.
Teenage boys.

[infomodder]

Those are terrible. Absolute nightmares.

[He says from experience. Loooooots of experience, and not just because he was one.

Though that does have a part in it.]

[boobwindow]

Had to live with one? I thought your housemate was a wolf.

[infomodder]

We've got a full house now.

[One does a lot of pot and turns into a dog, which Will found out on accident.]

Haven't lived with one, but I did used to be one. And I've had to deal with them for work on multiple occasions. Always a trip, not always a good one.

[boobwindow]

Lotta boys still go fishing these days?

[infomodder]

Not like they used to.
I worked law enforcement back in my world. Teenage boys get in trouble regularly.

[boobwindow]

Seriously?

[ He doesn't... look like law enforcement and he doesn't give off that vibe. ]

[infomodder]

Pretty serious.
Was FBI before I got dragged here.

[The Big Leagues and all that.]

That's not a problem, I hope.

[boobwindow]

How does one go from FBI to
fisherman?

[infomodder]

I've always fished.
That's what they put me in when I got here. Is that a Porter thing or a government thing?
That would be the answer, then. Whichever one is responsible for handing out jobs.

[AKA Paid retirements.]

[boobwindow]

I don't think I could ever have the patience for fishing.
And I'm not sure. I assume the government, but then I have to wonder why they set me up with my old profession.

[infomodder]

Fishing's a good way to learn patience.
You like your old profession?

[Why not set people with something they enjoy. Alternatively, something that makes them miserable and is fitting in the worst of ways. Children's hospital nurse Dog Fancy columnist yoga instructor clockmaker random my ass.]

[boobwindow]

Are you implying something?
I worked in software before I started up my own company.
Kinda miss having a nice view of Manhattan.

[infomodder]

Sure am. Implying that fishing's good for more than one thing.
So you've got experience. Maybe they hand out things people might enjoy or be good at in some way.
Manhattan not the same here?

[Hover cars change everything.]

[boobwindow]

I've got plenty of patience, just no tolerance for stupidity.
More like expensive. I wasn't swimming in cash back home, but I had stability.

[infomodder]

Teenagers are prone to be stupid. Part of the chronic condition known as growing up.

[Maturity sometimes still doesn't hit until much later. Or ever. Sometimes.]

Maybe if you did the government a solid, they wouldn't mind waiving a fee or two.

[boobwindow]

No thanks.

[ Technically she already did, but she wasn't interested in rewards. ]

I'm all set for De Chima anyway. Kind of?
Still working out the kinks.

[infomodder]

[Oh hell.]

De Chima?
I moved up here in August.
What are the kinks? Housing or something else? If you're not sure about the local environment or something like that, perhaps I could be of some assistance.

["Dogs that destroy houses, don't come here."]

[boobwindow]

[ Oh. ]

Most of it is getting the office up and running.
I haven't been able to look into apartments much, but that's okay. I've lived in my office before.

[infomodder]

Your office space already built, or are you having troubles with getting it to code? If you've got issues with the construction, I could help out with that.
My house here is full. I don't know about the others. Apartments aren't totally unreasonable from what I've seen, but I wouldn't want to move into one alone without a secure financial backing. Find a roommate with that, it wouldn't be bad at all while you get on your feet.
There's also a secondhand store on the outskirts of town that's got really nice futons.

[If one lives in one's office, one needs a futon. At least. Don't they? He's got one in his shop.]

[boobwindow]

Getting it up to code. I think it will be fine soon. We ARE still in the early stages, but getting there.
And I'm not looking for a roommate. I like my privacy.

[ #secret identity problems ]

[infomodder]

You run into any snags getting it up to code, feel free to let me know. I'd do that for cheap.

[By which he means a cup of coffee, a bite to eat if someone stops by with a bite to eat of their own—pretty much free. And if he has to call in any help, it's still pretty much free on her end.]

Point. Why pay for roommates when you can get them for free.

[Someone else doesn't like living with other people, hint hint.]

[boobwindow]

That's nice of you, but why the offer?
I live by myself back home. Have for a long time. I don't mind it.
