Hey. There's a lot of old information on this, and that's great. Really. But it's also a l o t for newcomers to try and sift through. There was some talk of a guide, which would be awesome? Even if it's just a basic rundown of world stuff that isn't the wiki-ish pages of the internet that just assume we know crap, it'd be helpful.

Back home, I was on a team called the Young Avengers. We went on a multiverse jumping spree for several months, so this isn't my first rodeo. It is the first place I've been to where we woke up with our abilities locked away and given new ones. Super weird btw, I'm not fond of it. As someone who already went through the whole "traumatic event waking up your mutant powers" thing, I'm not up for round two. But it means I've got some history with jumping around to different places.

I've got a place outside the safe house already, but it's not really a space meant for more than one or MAYBE two people, and we've got three. So if anyone has ideas for an easy job to get into for new arrivals, let me know? Disclaimer: I've never had an actual job before. And I didn't have much of an idea of what to set up an ID with since, I really don't have any experience doing workforce things.

[ Well. That's a lot to tackle. They need to push up work on the new arrival guide, there's simply no way they can cover all the bases again and again without forgetting something and having someone fall through the cracks. ]

What are you good at?

[wiccant]

Answering texts in four seconds or less.

[batricide]

Is that a valuable skill where you're from, or are you just inept?

can you lift heavy shit
constructions always hiring
but might lose a toe if you get unlucky

[wiccant]

I like all my fingers and toes right where they are, but thank you for the suggestion.

No harm in working a few odd jobs until you find something you like. Perhaps courier services? It would be relatively flexible, doesn't necessarily require much experience, and it's a good way to get to know the city.

[wiccant]

Know of any in the area?

@giovanni.rammsteiner

[ofobedience]

[Oh, someone else who's never had to hold down a job before. That's refreshing.]

Any good in a fight?

[wiccant]

On a scale? Below average.

Not sure I can help with the easy jobs thing, but if you have any tips for the "traumatic event waking up your mutant powers", I'll take those.

[wiccant]

Self-help books. I can sift through some online stores and see if I can find any ones I recognize available for download, and link you to them.

”Multiverse jumping spree”. Is such a thing so common in other worlds?

[Hi, this is what he focuses on for now.]

[wiccant]

It's not common for people like me? But I know a few people who do come from different sides of the multiverse, and can jump through them easy. Not a lot of people, but.

Demands, demands.
Everyone is always in need of wait staff. Anything that comes with free food can't be terrible.
You're OK graceful without sorcery, I'd assume.

[ see: he wants free food. ]

[wiccant]

You just want free food.
Are you going to recommend some breakfast diners?

[And finally, a reply to the post itself:]

The courier job is a good idea. I know a couple among us work it, but one of them isn't around anymore.

I'm also helping with the guide that Katelin is making. Let me know if you have any questions.

And sorry again about our local belligerent guy. Don't worry. He's few in number.

[wiccant]

I'm not worried about him.
What can we expect from New Amsterdam? I saw that there were attacks, including some of the monster variety? But what's every day life like is more what I was looking for.

@katelin.philips

[covertness]

hi. and welcome, i guess
sorry the guide isn't ready yet, but we're working on it
and hey, if you have any specific questions, let me know so i can make sure we include them?

[ but also - ]

young avengers?
my world has a team called the avengers
any relationship?

[wiccant]

Thanks for the welcome. I'll see if I Can think of any.

And yeah. I've met them. I mean, who is in and who's out of the Avengers changes a lot but. We've got access to their mansion? And it's really cool.

@thomas.maximoff

[mutriarchy]

Wait, what do you mean "traumatic event waking up your mutant powers"? Is that really a thing?

[wiccant]

Yep.
And it's not fun.

@daisy.johnson

[evite]

speaking from experience with the whole "i've never had a real job" thing, i strongly recommend not going into office work.

[ eyes emoji at literally every other thread ... she wonders if fitz knows another delegate (or delegates?) from The Universe Where Everyone Is Hotter has shown up. ]

besides hopping universes and being an avenger of the youth, do you have any actual interests?
i know the pizza place is hiring for drivers

[wiccant]

I'm from New York. Learning to drive was never a necessity, so I never picked it up. I have a feeling the hover cars of this era are a little more difficult than the ones on the ground that I'm used to.

( aside from that, )

I'm a nerd, the con that was going on would have been great except for the whole, being dropped in a body suit in the middle of it bit.

@deimos.fighter

[tishina]

info is easy to come by if you know where to find it.
fact you got a place outside the safehouse is more of a step out there than most of us other newbies have though.

[wiccant]

I know some people who were already here who were willing to share.
Are you adjusting okay?
