Capable of telepathy, psychometry... currently unemployed.

Why are you posting here then?

Would boredom be enough of an excuse for you?

Certainly.

But if you're looking for a job...there are better places. monster.com for instance.

*pauses and grins* I promise that wasn't meant to be a pun.

Somehow, I don't think that special talents will help me on that website.

Mmm. If only someone had a special-talents-job-search website.

Hey, I'm always recruiting.

That would be so helpful.

For what?

You could always start one. Surely there's a market.

For whatever needs doing.

Wouldn't even know where to start. I'm not a 'computer person'.

Be more specific?

*grins* I keep people around for all sorts of things. Whatever I think they're useful for at the time. I can't be more specific.

Mmmm. I'll consider it.

I've got a great dental plan.

Somewhere.

Never had teeth problems.

Lucky you.

Toothpaste is amazing.

*laughs* So they tell me.

And I'm Abraham, by the way.

And I am Loki.

Nice to meet you.

Likewise.

Ever thought about a career in law enforcement, son? The LAPD could sure use your skills.

Done something like that before, actually. Being a 'normal' officer would be interesting... but I'm not sure you would work with me.

I absolutely would!

*offers his card* Detective Arthur Jackson, West Valley Division. I co-run Paranormal Crimes, and I'm Chief Investigator for the city of Los Angeles. You'd be surprised how liberal it is out here, bub. I ain't seen the amphibious humanoid yet that's had to worry about walking around in the open unless the heat or humidity levels physically stop 'em.

*grins, shows a glimpse of fang* Vampire myself. We got all kinds over here.

*takes card!* Now that sounds interesting. 'Paranormal Crimes', not so much... that is what I was doing before. Basically.

I'm Abraham, by the way.

Pleasure to know you, Abraham...can I call you Abe?

And have you really been on PC detail before? Not many units I know outside this state that hire boys like you willy-nilly. Not amphibious types, psychometrists. Tends to make the Nulls a bit nervous.

Fine by me.

Well. Have you ever heard of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense?

Can't say that I have...what's that, some sort of CIA operation? I probably would've run into you folks if you were FBI, I know boys up there...

That's all I'm going to say about them. Fairly obvious what they do just from the name.
