Yes, you need to become smart enough to know what is a good and a bad idea yourself, because sometimes some of us voices will have bad ideas. Plus... lightning bolts, smiting enemies with mad science. Once you're a lot smarter mix it up with some dance, dance-fighting and art history courses too.
But we must also work, we must always end each week with more money than we started with because we don't know what large purchases or emergencies we'll run into that we need to buy our way through.

Okay I here in the Mad science school.

The Nevrean behind the Desk looks at me like I don't belong here.

Toby: "Hi, I like to sign up for your accelerated learning coarse."

Nevrean: "sigh... Alright Please sign these waver forms and pay you tuition."

This feels a bit uncomfortable. Maybe all this science stuff will be less intimidating when I'm smarter. The Cactus leads me back were they poke me with needles shock my head and make me read 500 book in a hyperbolic time chamber.

Toby is now of average intelligence.
He is far less likely to say something stupid.

He may suffer from some side effects of the treatment for a short while.

Toby Will hallucinate occasionally for a day or so.

G-g-g-get a job!
The hospital ought to have better work for us now that we're not moronic and they probably are the most understanding about occasional hallucinations.
If you think you can do better than that I'd like to know.

yeah. get a newspaper and see what is available.

>>304967
you will need to be just above average intelligence... 100 IQ ain't gonna help.
but we'll have to work and study. Let's worry about your intelligence before anything else.
Being a confident, intelligent sergal comes before a girlfriend... that'll come naturally after you reach that point...

TO THE HOSPITAL TO START OUR JOURNEY OF BECOMING THE FIRST SERGAL DOCTOR!

>>305075
Point, if we can become a doctor a lot of women worth having will be lining up to take a shot at us anyway.

Okay, Check a paper. Hmmm. Not Much for jobs in the medical field, but.

/i Wanted Orderly. Must be strong and not too stupid. Apply at town hospital. Multiple positions available.

"Not too stupid? Well that's just... I don't known what to say to that."

/i Wanted Counselor for in and out patients apply at the loony bin.

"Now that that I'm not a dumb ass, calling it the loony bin seem very political incorrect."

Well I could get a job as an orderly at the hospital. Or I could use my suspect degree in psychology to work as a counselor.

Those are my options at the moment if I want to do medical work.

>>305186
Counselor seems to be the only job you can do.

Read about the other jobs.

We are a sergal, is two dots of strength not very strong or what? I'd imagine it should be just fine for being an orderly and working as one seems like a good place to go for hanging around the kinds of people who could help us become a doctor. Anybody who talks about loonies in the loony bin in those exact words is likely to be rude and we don't want to hang around people like that because bad habits can rub off on us.

"Hookay... Lets sum it up voices. I need to make money. You told me that, and I agree completely. But you are not going to follow me to work. The 4th wall is far to distracting to do most jobs. But my writer will bring you in to see anything that might be fun, or include hot girls."

"But lets put the number on the table."

Jobs I can Do

1. Buss Boy Pays 2 Golds a day. Work every day Lousy hours. Bottom of the Barrel.

2. Night Guard at Mall. 3 Golds a day work 5 days a week. Grave yard shift. Leave lots of time but no chance to meet girls.

3. Orderly. 4 golds a day. Work 5 days a week and good daytime hours. Might get to meet girls a be helpful.

4 Street Performer. Pay is unreliable and random. But I make my own hours and can stop and talk to people and do stuff as I like.

5 Counselor. 5 golds a day 5 days a week. Very good hours. Job is stressful and I will have to get a bit more charming and Smart to do it long term. But I can take classes for that.

There are other jobs, but I'm not qualified for them.

Anyway the day is still young. I can do this today or look for a date or find a place to stay. I could also take more classes but maybe I should wait until I stop seeing magic power mushrooms and portals to the realm of Odd.

With those options I say orderly sounds best. This is because it has sable, relatively good wages, isn't a graveyard shift, gives some social opportunities and won't stress you the hell out (we hope). If it is as stressful as the shitty counseling job we can jump ship for that later.
Remember: Current medium-term goal is become more charming and smart, become doctor, get the lots of women to choose from.

>>305784
you shall be an orderly. mainly as being a counselor would bring you on your mental knees.
Plus nurses.

And we shall work at become intelligent. Intelligence over strength for now...

>>305784
go Orderly till you are able to take classes needed for Counselor

Orderly?... Actually that sounds pretty good to me. Decent pay, and maybe I can meet sick or injured girls and help them feel better and then they will like me. Okay that may be wishful think but still.

On a side note sometimes being smarter means you know how dumb you are. ugh.

Well here is the hospital.

And after a few test, and an interview, and peeing in a cup. I HAVE MY SCRUBS!!!!

Yes I have a job. Apparently they are looking to hire anyone that isn't a cactus right now.
Prickly pseudo hands or some such.

Any way, I don't start work till day after tomorrow and I'm gonna need to get lucky or find a place to stay for the night.

I really doubt that I'm gonna get that lucky that fast even if some one likes me.

I really need a place soon. Lopside apartments over in the academic district look pretty good and that cute girl would be my neighbor. But its gonna cost 10 golds to move in for a week.

I could also look for a motel room. That will only be 1 golds but its just for 1 night. Or should I look else were?

If you can move into an apartment that fast it would be nice-ish. Do you think you can manage to set yourself up with food, furniture and such for staying overnight and then going to work in the morning in time?
Staying in a hotel longer costs more and it's often no better but I don't know how many hours you have left to shop for basics.

>>305901
knowing how dumb you are is a good thing... as its from our mistakes we learn

oddly enough, the hotel is more cost efficent at 7 gold a week.
the apartment is 10 gold a week...
odd...

Ah, I see... the hotel may be alarming when we get back there.

>>305945
can we... see what the room is like?
sounds like a seedy place

>>305901

Operative word is Motel, not Hotel.

I smell old Stank and Roche feces.

I could stay here but I've got to be pretty desperate.

I've looked into all my alternatives since the last time you saw me.

1. Motel Rochel. Its a pit 1 golds per night
2. Vacation Inn. not bad but not a good long term. 3 golds a night.
3. Lopside Apartments. Close to the schools and might have promising neighbors. 10 golds per week,
4 Fancy high rise. I heard this place is posh. 17 golds a week.
5. Buy a house. Smallish but its mine 65 golds but pay only once.

I have 18 golds right now.

Damnit, we need someone to float us a loan so we can make first-and-last on that apartment, the place that won't make us totally ill eats up more than we make a week even if we can keep our new job. Craigslist for someone who already has a place and wants a roommate?

The apartment seems nice, and with your new job you shouldn't have much of a problem affording it.

>>305988
let's try the apartments, and get a roommate from the university... you oughta have met SOMEONE you're okay with there.
and work together to earn ze cash for a house

>>305988
just take the dammed apartments already!

Yes House is good long term goal, But here I am. Sorry, did you want to follow me in filling out paper work and all that real world boring stuff.
Now things are pretty simple as long as I live here the 10 golds cover normal cost of living as well as rent. This is supposed to be a quest about me getting dates so I can find a mate. Not micro managing my finances.

The Apartment is furnish so I've got the basics. nothing fancy but I don't need anything yet.

Don't know any potential room mates yet. Ive been here a day, and the mad science place didn't have the normal "class structure". Also they might cramp my style an getting a girl friend. And if I get a girl to move in that's 2/3 there.

Any Way. I still have tomorrow off before my first day at work starts. Should I
1. Do something tomorrow. Or
2. Move ahead a week.

If I move ahead a week I can take 1 normal class. Mad science augmentation might be a bad Idea so soon after the getting it done.

That girl, who? Ninje? Is she in trouble, were?

Fall out the window.

to the left of your window should be a rope, grab it and go down to the next floor.

Twas your imagination. Go back to sleep

You know of the fourth-wall, right? We are seeing someone crawling in her window in a split-picture. Apparently a volto wearing a mask.

>>306262
Also the room in question looks to be the room beneath you.

whatever it is I'm blaming the volto for it, only he will stoop as low to toss boulders at your window

Shout "STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!" with max authority and volume.

Can you alert the landlord quickly? That guy could have a legitimate reason for crawling in a window, but the landlord will have a key.

The stock dialogue makes me feel kinda silly but that got his attention

There is no way he has a legitimate reason to crawl in 3rdish story windows and night.

she woke up and is mad. kick the dude in the face so he get's lodged partway in the window and is stunned. also letting her dish out punishment as well.

thanks

Um, i really hope he's not her boyfriend paying her a surprise visit or anything...
