If it's Florida, I didn't do it.
 

Aaaand if it's anyone else... Just leave a message. I'll get back to you if I recognise you. Or even if I don't, and you sound cute.]

York. I need to know about becoming a mercenary.

[depthlesslock]

Uh... right. [The whole world is becoming mercenaries, he swears] What do you want to know?

[notyourrookie]

The testing, what does it entail and how long do I have to wait before I can actually do stuff? [He is going a little stir crazy okay?]

[depthlesslock]

Mostly tests. Physical to test your fitness. Weapons, hand to hand, basic medical. If you specialize, you need to demonstrate your abilities. There's a few other things.

...Are you signing on with a group or going solo?

[notyourrookie]

Nothing different to the military then.

Solo. I don't work with other people.

[depthlesslock]

I wouldn't know.

Okay. Take extra care, solo mercs usually get snapped up or off, especially in Gul-sh.

Also, there's a mercenary group out there called Control. Stay. Far. Away. Don't have anything to do with them, I wouldn't even recommend being hired against them. They're bad news. I can give you a list.

[notyourrookie]

I'll bear it in mind. I need to do something though. I don't like being inactive.

Control. I'll bear it in mind. Whatever info you have would be great.

[depthlesslock]

Yeah, I'm with you on that one.

They find mercs that are down on their luck and get them to sign contracts that help at first, but are near impossible to get out of later. They've even gone as far as to kidnap... people and force them into the mercenary business if they show potential. They're ruthless, cruel, have no issues with threatening sh-ildren and care little for their employees as long as they stay under them. My group's been at war with them for some months now. Please, Wash, for your own safety and my sanity, have nothing to do with them.

[notyourrookie]

Thought about finding something else. But I know I'm too dangerous for it. Too hair triggered.

[He doesn't think about killing those two reds, just because they weren't useful, or setting the Meta on Doc. Sounds like he'd fit in well enough with this group. Except he doesn't work with others and doesn't want to be tied down.]

I'll watch my back. I'm better off as a free agent anyway.

[depthlesslock]

You could help out at the pet center?

Thank you. It's just been one incident after another with them and we all need a damn break. The last thing I want is to have you under the enemy.

[notyourrookie]

...okay, I might have to look there as well.

I've seen enough infighting to last me a lifetime.

[depthlesslock]

There you go. Have fun!

I can only imagine. Thanks.

[notyourrookie]

It's just an extra. I'm still going to get certified as a merc.

I'll try to keep out of that sort of trouble.

[depthlesslock]

Sure. But dude, you need a feline hit.

Thanks. And if they start poking around you, please do come to me. Or any of the For Hires. We will help.

[notyourrookie]

It's got to be healthier than drugs and booze.

I'll call you if I need it. Thanks.

[depthlesslock]

Way healthier. Unless you're allergic, whi-sh I'm assuming you're not since our Wash isn't. Actually, even then, it might be healthier than drugs or booze in the long run.

Of course.

[notyourrookie]

I'm not allergic. That would suck. What a horrible thought.

[depthlesslock]

Yeah, that would really suck. That would be like me being allergic to coffee.

[notyourrookie]

I don't think you'd survive. You'd either drink it and suffer or not drink it and never function.

[depthlesslock]

I think I'd drink it and suffer.

[notyourrookie]

You would. Addict.

[depthlesslock]

I am the king of coffee.

[notyourrookie]

Emperor of Espresso.

[depthlesslock]

Lord of latte.

[notyourrookie]

Monarch of Mocha.
