This one is understaffed; he is barely looked at on his way in, people are running around so much.

Permalink

He has a name to look for; he wanders around looking for it.

Permalink

It is on a door.

Permalink

Door opens. "Hello," says the person, barely blinking at the wings.

Permalink

"Hi! I took your utilities bid, I'm here to do the installation."

Permalink

The person reaches into a drawer and hands him a packet. "Directions and specifications," she says. "Payment will take up to a week afterwards while the work is quality checked."

Permalink

What competent people. "Thanks so much." Are the specifications specific enough he can just do what it says on the packet -

Permalink

Yup!

Permalink

The quality check will find things exactly as advertised. He comes back to return the packet in case they want it.

Permalink

They do not.

Permalink

Next task form completed online, next city!

Permalink

Next thing is all the way in San Diego, it's a long flight.

Permalink

He will take public transit. It'll be educational for the public.

Permalink

Public transit is pretty automated these days so nobody gatekeeps him. He gets weird looks. A kid about his age maybe recognizes him.

Permalink

He reads through more of the med school curriculum on the way down to San Diego.

Permalink

Trains are real fast these days. He's there in sunny San Diego in short order.

Permalink

He tries making the models of the places he's going in dry ice so he doesn't have to throw them away. They hurt his fingers but are lots of fun. He finds another address.

Permalink

He's been outbid on the way there.

Permalink

Are there any other ones in this area? Not that he especially minds sitting on trains, it's a nice break from Milliways.

Permalink

Some small town in Arizona but it's not much money.

Permalink

Eh, whatever. He'll keep doing this for a couple days until it's time to go to that kid's summoning exam.

Permalink

He gets a variety of reactions ranging from steadfastly pretending this is normal to confused acquiescence to being ejected from the building, and then exam time!

Permalink

Yay! He checks for horrible circles out for him before being dismissed.

Permalink

There's one with a gag and three without.
