Wanted: Hardworking, trustworthy indivdiuals...

[xp_angel]

So the opposite of most people in my employ.

Hope keeps telling me she isn't responsible for everything I ask her to do which I think is ridiculous but since I'm a good employer, I will have to listen to her so she doesn't quit.

What does this mean? It means that I'm turning into a philanthropist and need to start my own charitable donations in a way that won't be argued against or used as a political ploy. Fuck politics, I'm tired of it all. I want people who will do what I ask, who will argue against me when need be but ultimately, who actually care. I find sincerity and integrity go a long way, and it's easier for me to listen to 'You're wrong, Warren' when the person actually knows what they're talking about and/or have the right passion behind it.

So.

Apply here. I'll have to do some interviews I suppose, and Hope will continue to help build up my charity but I like the thought of "Warren Cares" as a name. It conveys everything I want and tells absolutely nothing at the same time.

And if you're afraid you don't have any qualifications, I used to employ Miles and Maya a loooong time ago when they were yae high and barely had experience. And now look at them. *sniff sniff*

I could take your nascent charity on as a tertiary client -- from a fundraising standpoint, not just from a 'you ought to spend you money here' standpoint. I work with the Xavier Institute and the Muir Island Research Facility already as well as helping with the Underground's... financial requirements from time to time. If Hope and her company agree, I'm sure we could work out some favourable charities for you to donate to that won't raise quite so many eyebrows as District-X.

Tuck your real priorities in behind the flashier, more publicly acceptable causes.

[xp_angel]

What is the point of having eyebrows if not to raise them dramatically?

I genuinely don't give a fuck about what others think, but if you want to do it this way, I'm fine with that too, Ms. Cassidy.

I also don't need to raise funds. I need to find ways to create sustainability but I have the capital sitting around. I am very well prepared for being disinherited. I'm on my third round now as it is.

[xp_banshee]

Cassidy-Rouke.

And while I appreciate your willingness to tell the rest of the world they can feck right off, it's best you don't do it with my name attached. I've enough notoriety in the city for my work in District-X as it is.

Support well building in Africa, set up food banks and trade schools here in the United States, encourage garden growing on rooftops in the city. And lead by example. Also, Kyle wasn't wrong about those boats in Baltimore. See if you can't do something about the Pacific trash continent.

And you'll always need fundraising so others can feel warm and fuzzy about your passions. Because that's what they need to be. Besides, independently wealthy you might be, but there's only so much eating into your principal that can be done before it begins to deplete.

[xp_angel]

Theresa Cassidy-Rouke. That's a mouthful.

Up to you how you want to do it then. Work publicly, work behind the shadows, barely work -- whatever. Doesn't bother me any. I just need people I can trust and I'm happy to do the work myself as long as I'm not literally doing the work myself. Why would I want to garden? No thank you. Find someone who does and I'll just pay them.

I have zero interest in being warm and fuzzy. I don't want people to think they can hug me. That sounds horrible. If you want to work for me, learn my motivations -- I am all for a fundraising gala that involves a new outfit, people adoring me, and limitless alcohol. Giant cheques are also a plus. I own my own set of oversized scissors, so we don't need to worry about that.

[xp_banshee]

Aye, and you'll never get a taste.

You're not the one feeling warm and fuzzy. You're the one standing there looking like you know what you're doing. Also, possibly giving a speech about how deeply you care about ensuring the world is better off after you leave it than it was when you found it. We'll work in letting you use the big scissors for a grand opening of something.

I'll send you my usual contract to look over. It's essentially when I've agreed upon with Muir and the Xavier Institute.

[xp_angel]

Forbidden fruit. Gotcha. I'll covet from afar then or not at all.

Oh I always look like I know what I'm doing. I've mastered that. All I'm saying is I don't want to be hugged.

I'd say send it to Hope but I think she is close to aneurysm. I'll handle this myself.

[xp_magik]

wait u want to hire someone to tell u no???
would i get to tell other people no???

i have ged. am excellent at saying no if u are being ridiculous. have good bitch face. will toss people on ass. clint taught me about portal stuff in basement so obviously i can learn charity stuff.

hire me.

[xp_angel]

You can say no as much as you want as long as you're okay with me not listening at times.

I have to say, I'm impressed with your credentials here. Resting bitch face is exactly a quality I'm looking for.

When do you want to meet to discuss?

[xp_magik]

you drive hard bargain, may have to rethink status on ur intelligence

i am watching portal mostly in evenings this week, so daytime is fine. u are not allowed in chapel without many chaperones and maybe tranq darts. minimum.

[xp_angel]

I'd be annoyed but many people think I'm stupid so that's a fair assessment.

I know, I know. Listen, I don't know why everyone is so concerned but I assure you, I have no desire to be anywhere near Limbo again. This is one of those 'been there, done that, didn't get a T-shirt but totally got a demon STI' things. I'm good.

Come to my office at WI. I'll leave your name downstairs, and security will let you in. Dress like you don't give a fuck about what I think.

[xp_magik]

if it makes u feel better ur not the lowest on my list of stupid ppl here

i could get u a t-shirt from limbo but it would be made from demon skin and its not very comfortable. decent armor tho.

oh good i can do that

[xp_angel]

The one time I'm glad I'm not number one, I suppose.

No, I'm fine without that, thanks.

Excellent. I'll send you a calendar invite then and we will discuss this further.

[xp_darcy]

I will make myself available for you whenever you need contract work done so long as it doesn't directly conflict with my Snow Valley responsibilities. 😘

(Not like you didn't already know this. Also I'm in Vegas for a few days with limited time to look at my phone, so please don't need contract work until next week.)

[xp_angel]

<3 this is why you're my favourite lawyer (don't tell Matt)

And ooh Vegas? Please win everything. Ilu.

[xp_darcy]

Specifically at the X-Ranch, but Vegas is the closest flight.

I'll consider getting a hotel the night before my flight and trying my hand at slots. If I win I'll get you something really tacky to wear to a meeting with your old man. Tasteless tie? Pocket square that looks like panties? Absurd belt buckle? We'll see.

[xp_angel]

Oh please win me a belt. Or one of those stuffed aliens I can hang from my car window. I'll bring it into my meetings. Call it my emotional support stuffie.

[xp_darcy]

You got it ♥

[xp_madin]

Yes please.

I haven't worked in an office before but I need a job.

[xp_angel]

A job you say? And what kind of work can you do?

[xp_madin]

Diary management, phone work, customer service.

[xp_angel]

Wait, you can write my diary for me? Where were you when I was in rehab?

[xp_madin]

Jail, probably

[xp_angel]

As long as it wasn't for killing a billionaire or robbing him, it probably doesn't matter.

How's your resting bitch face?

[xp_madin]

Nah, stupid kid bullshit - posession, assault, being purple in public.

My resting bitch face is great.

[xp_angel]

Those are kid crimes? Great, then that means no record because you were charged as a minor. Do you intend on continuing with the illegal lifestyle?

Fantastic. I need someone that can tell someone to go fuck themselves without saying a word but also be fabulous.

[xp_velocidad]

I wouldn't put "Warren Cares" on a government form. It's a crime to lie to the IRS, and that's pretty easy to disprove.

[xp_angel]

Aw, look at you. Still around, and still thinking you're smarter than I am.

Those are big words, are you sure you know what that means?
