It's over, red rover.

Also: WHY DO I NOT HAVE A JOB RIGHT NOW?

Still moving slower than I like.

They'd taught him to endure pain as the Winter Soldier; sometimes that came in helpful, such as when your head slammed against a wooden parquet floor. It could have been worse - stone would probably have hurt a lot more - but Bucky shunted the pain away and rolled to his feet.

Thanos was yanking the spear out of his side, and got it out in time to block the Valkyrie's swordthrust. In the enclosed space, the Valkyrie was at a disadvantage, unable to fully swing her weapon, and she'd overcome this hindrance by stabbing in from the shoulder. But the thrust left her with too much of her body weight extended, and she was easily unbalanced when Thanos flicked the spear in a tight circle.

Hela, of course, stepped fastidiously out of the way. Maybe she was going to help Thanos, but she wasn't going to help the Valkyrie either.

"We must watch her," muttered D'Maluu. "She will take advantage given any opportunity."

Possible temporary job offered by a friend - 'helpdesk' and general tech/system support, at a pretty good rate. For a month. It's surely better than nothing at all. Which is what I'm facing everywhere else.

SNIFF. I love that self-portrait consisting of the shadow.


VAAAAAAAAAAAL (also Hela, whoo)

[tielan]

It's going to be pretty crisis-y though. There are a lot of characters in this thing.

[wpadmirer]

I send good vibes on the job hunt, and temporary work at a good rate is damn hard to find. SO YAY!

[tielan]

I'm kind of happy about the temp work, because while it's not contract rates, it seems like a good workplace, and there's opportunity to widen my scope of knowledge over time.

Plus, I'm rapidly turning broke. I'll take it!

I am so beyond upset about the rover that I am kind of embarrassed

[tielan]

It is kind of embarrassing, isn't it? It's a robot! It did it's job! But we're all "it's like a person to us, and we'd feel awful if we were left behind to 'die' all alone"...

[novel_machinist]

Honestly, I think that's the strength of the human race. We care so much that we give life where there logically can be none

[beatrice_otter]

Temp helpdesk work is better than nothing, but I sure hope you get something better soon!

[tielan]

It's pretty good, actually. Less than half my previous income contracting, but converted to salary it's still over the national average.

It'll tide me over for the time being. I can have it for at least a couple of months, anyway.

Her Universe sizes tend to be *junior* sizes, even in the plus sizes.

[tielan]

Oh, really? Hm. I've got a medium one in the shopping bag, and a small-size Wonder Woman jacket... Maybe I'll up the size...

[raine]

Yeah. I normally have to go up at least a size when I buy Her Universe stuff - even when it's sold at Torrid or Hot Topic.

[tielan]

Okay - thanks for the tip!

[raine]

:-) You're welcome!
