Worker of Creation.
« on: September 14, 2010, 06:44:14 am »

You are a Working man of creation. Your job in life WAS to work at the supermarket on the other side of a gigantic city but thats not important right now. What is important is you creating wonderful feats of imagination, of great size and style, of great evil or good or to just try and prove to the stupid boss at the Supermarket that a 10 cent pay rise was a good idea after all!

Location: Inside your small lean-to "garage" on the side of your small house, which is located on a hill on the very verge of a gigantic city. Costs no rent.

Wearing:
* A cheap, stretched white teeshirt from Bargain Mart.
* Faded, fake designer shorts from Bob's Designer's Emporium. (Now shut down, due to Fraud.
* Scuffed, black trainers from a kind family member. (Who, like the rest of your family, ignore you)
* Antique watch from your now dead Mother. (If she was still alive, she would likely slap you and take it back. Rest her soul.)

Objects inside Garage.
* Damaged, poorly constructed, kit set wooden table.
* Small wooden stool. (3/4 - Legs)
* Small gas heater (5/5 - Canister)
* Small desk lamp (Broken bulb)
* Small hanging light.
* A DIY (Do it yourself) book about home electronic wiring.
* A DIY (Do it yourself) book about basic house renovating.
* A small desktop computer, sitting on top of empty boxes (Broken monitor, keyboard missing 10 keys, ball in mouse missing (its in here somewhere), still-in-tact 250 MB hardrive, with 150 ram and no graphic card and speakers, with broken wiring.
* A small radio (1/15 - Battey) ((Currently playing on the blues channel. (Becoming very faint due to lack of power))
* A small bundle of copper wiring, solder and broken extension cords.

Inventory:
* Wallet (Contains a single $50 note, food stamps, $10 of coins and a bank card.)
* Packet of Cigarettes (2/25 - Cigarettes)
* Zippo lighter (80/100 - Lighter fluid)
* 10 paper clips ("Borrowed" from your last job's managers office.)
* A now redundant workers card to your last job. (Held authority to enter the staff lounge and receive 10% food and items discount.)

Knowledge:
*VERY basic knowledge of electrical wiring. (Enough to know you can't do squat till you have gloves and maybe a pair of rubber boots (that is, doing it the SAFE way)
*VERY basic knowledge of DIY carpentry (enough to put that amazing table together)
*AVERAGE skill at checkout counter operations at a Supermarket.

Creations:
*Poorly created wooden table.
* Paper clip "shocker"
(As many paper clips as it takes to fill the space between two wires, two bits of solder, power source.)

Status:
* Health = Fine
* Energy = Wide awake/Not tired

OOC: Before you ask, I do not plan to copy Man of SCIENCE!! I only wish to use this template as it allows the best way to displace information. And also because I couldn't help but put a few sly remarks to it. I will make my own type of "thing" as we go. Also, just so you know... [whisper] "Magical" stuff CAN happen but your not going to even be able to get your hands on anything like that for awhile [/whisper]. Also, no, no selected skills at start. Lets make it 'interesting'. More elements may become apparent as we continue.

Kudos to Pandarsenic for the template and lets be honest, the basic idea.

Quit smoking. You'll save money, and the best way to show your boss how awesome you are is NOT to die of lung cancer.

Boring!

Run over to The Dump and see if you can find any Parts.

In a quick flash of inspiration, try to make a lockpick by unbending a paper clip, repeat this and make the second one slightly different, Test these lockpicks by trying to unlock your front door! Also quit smoking.

Well, it won't happen overnight but, your gona give it a try, at least.
Run over to The Dump and see if you can find any Parts.

Well, the closest dump to you, is on the other side of town. But wait! Theres a small skip just down the street! You run out of your garage and start to jog towards it. Less then a quarter of the way there, you stop and almost throw up. Damn, those smokes really didn't help your fitness!

By the time you get there, your almost out of energy, so big items are out of the question.

After a quick look around, you get...

* A 6 pack of empty, glass coke bottles.
* A small, intact book about self fitness.
* A piece of pipe.
* An empty milk carton.
* A small, plastic, knife and fork. (Unclean)

With your booty, you head back.

In a quick flash of inspiration, try to make a lockpick by unbending a paper clip, repeat this and make the second one slightly different, Test these lockpicks by trying to unlock your front door! Also quit smoking.

Back in the realms of your Garage, you have a sudden flash of inspiration! As you fumble around in your pockets, you make a quick plan about how to make a lock pick! You know, like they do in movies. As you finally drop the paper clips on the table, you pause and think about what your going to do. You take the first one and break it by mistake. Oops. The second one, you manage to unbend without breaking it. The third one, you do the same to but put a small hook on the end. Excellent. You rush to your front door, in a show of great thievery, though you DID have to stop at your back door. That really tired you out. By the time you get to the door, its getting dark. You look at your watch and it reads '7:30 PM'. You then have a go at the door, failing horribly. Your really going to need to get some help to learn something like this.

NEW STAT: The time
NEW KNOWLEDGE: How to make VERY crude lockpicks!

This. Decide to go jogging tomorrow morning.

You decide to head to you lounge and have a lie down on your horrible sofa. Flicking the first page back on the fitness book, you see images of cartoons doing all sorts of "Warm Up Stretches". Its enough to inspire you to give it a go, maybe tomorrow morning. You think about sleeping but realise, you don't need to sleep! Just a bit of a lie down will do it! You take a quick power nap and by the time you wake up, your good as new! (If, a bit groggy.)

We're still VERY tired? That was the worst power nap ever.

Think about the possibility of breaking into the supermarket.

You think about it for awhile. Whilst it could get you some items, food, money and make you feel even cooler, you would need...
* Weapons.
* A blueprint.
* A car.
* A few people to help (And trust me, you don't exactly have many friends right now.)
* A GOOD escape plan.

.... Or you could always just try shoplifting from inside the Supermarket or go in through the back and use the ID to avoid people becoming worried? But you would STILL need a car and likely a good escape plan...

Hmm. Warm-up stretch time! Then dump your pockets, except for the cigarettes, BUT DON'T SMOKE, and jog to the skip. Dump the cigarettes, and grab more stuff. Practice carpentry.

Jogging time! Its a bit late but you don't care! As you start to warm up, you feel a horrible stitch starting to rise BUT YOU DON'T CARE. As you continue, to your surprise, the stitch starts to fade away! YES! By the time you have done the warm ups, your sweating all over the place. Maybe you did it a little to hard. You then start to jog to your garage, just managing to make the door before starting a coughing fit. Once calmed down, you walk in and place all of your items onto the small, wooden table EXCEPT the cigarettes. You then do a few more warm ups and start to jog to the skip.

By about halfway to the skip, you have to stop and vomit. You feel HORRIBLE. But you decide to keep pushing! This time, however, you decide to just walk it. When you finally make it to the skip, you sit down for awhile and calm down. You then stand up and with a feeling of pride, you chuck the cigarettes in the skip. SUCCESS. You then jump in after them and have a look around for some wood or nails. You find...
* 3 pieces of 2 by 4.
* 5 bent nails.
* A hammer head.
* A small cardboard box holding small wood chippings
* A small ruler, with a large crack on the top of it.

You, so ever slowly, drag them all back to your garage. You then put them next to your small table. However, whilst you were out "dumpster diving", you made yourself as tired as a dog. You manage to drag yourself up to your bedroom and promptly fall asleep.
