video, un: j.k. [post-butterfly effect]
[ On the screen is one Cain, also known as Romulus, commonly known in the city as Jacob Kane. He looks normal. Normal as he's ever looked, really, but the confidence that he lacked during the recent event is back in full force and he's very nonchalant about it all. He's at a flimsy-ish table with a laptop off to the side where the camera is obviously his propped up phone instead. ]
Hey! Long-time no talk, Riverview Quarantine. Just a few things. If you met me over the last week and a half or so, that was... technically me but not. You know that thing that was going on? Yeah, that. Don't worry about it. Forget about all that.
Quick catch-up for those who have (or haven't!) met me, I go by Jacob Kane nowadays. [ Not Romulus. Nope. This total 180 is completely normal considering he hardly looks any older or different at all. ] My job while I'm here is designing phone apps. I've been here for about two months now and I think this is my first actual post on the network. Anything interesting happen while I wasn't looking?

[If this guy can design phone apps reading wasn't exactly a skillset he was likely missing.]

[Even if it was just to make him feel a bit more comfortable during that whole situation.]
I take it that had something to do with the whole... Chalice thing. Not exactly my subject of expertise, so I admit I'm not sure exactly what happened there.

[He can relate to the idea of not wanting to revisit a certain period in one's life, but he certainly had no scope of reference for what Cain had been through. No sense in dwelling though, and Ed is just as quick to sweep uncomfortable things under the rug so his last statement rings pretty true in the blond's opinion.]
What's designing phone apps like?
[Sound boring, he has a basic concept of what that means but like most things that don't interest him, he's always sort of brushed it off.]
no subject
[ Nothing but brutal honesty when it comes to this. Cain's used to having as much money as he'll ever need, but when right now he just wants time and the ability to learn and explore, he doesn't feel an urge to try and climb up some inconsequential corporate ladder. ]
no subject
[Not exactly the direction he expected that response to go in. He was thinking more about the actual process of the whole thing.]
That's ... good, I guess. I mostly do things on my own, even when I work with other people.
[Four years in the military with basically no one but Al, doing repairs in Purg was a one man gig until his brother showed up, and even when he did work with others he tended to keep to himself, it certainly made him a pretty easy going boss at the General Store. Lang was different, but he'd focused more on repairs than working at the Casino, and when he was there he tended to only focus on the few people he actually knew outside of work, like Allen.]
Freelance work is usually how I get by in these places.
no subject
[ Telecommute is a blessing, for absolute sure. ]
What kind of freelance? It's so organized here, I kind of wonder how well that works out.
no subject
Ah... Repairs, mostly. I can build things too, but I would need all of the components. If I wasn't so busy with the Guard, I'd probably open my own shop again...
no subject
no subject
[He smirks some at the notion of 'liking' to repair things. Never really thought of it that way, before. Just that it was a skill he had most didn't, at least not to the same degree.]
no subject
[ After seeing it innumerable amounts of times, Cain is a pretty big proponent of not letting opportunities pass you by while they're available. There just isn't enough time to go on with something else because it's easier, less satisfying. ]
no subject
[He pauses, as if considering his response carefully.]
The Guard is an opportunity to help people, too. Plus the exploration potential is pretty high, my job is directly related to repairing things - which means I can use work time to learn about resources that might be useful in my free time, too.
[Let's pretend he has any of that.]
no subject
What kind of position do you have where you repair things?
no subject
[Pretty straight forward, isn't it?]
no subject
Asked and answered. What kind of stuff do you usually salvage?
no subject
I think they're working on building space ships with the parts, once we get them together again. I don't have anything to do with that part, though.
no subject
Yeah. That would probably go to the scientists and engineers.
no subject
[Ed doesn't point out that he's a scientist, by now he's used to alchemy being dismissed as magic by so many it's hardly worth bringing up. Engineers, though, is a response that generally makes his eyes roll. In his experience mechanics and engineers were all too often over-excited girls, he's had plenty enough of those in his life.]
I guess we'll see.
no subject
no subject
[That might sound like over confidence, but his own world had kept him in shape enough - and dealing with the last two places having forests of horror, at this point it was just a theme in his life.]
no subject
[ Hey, Cain's willing to believe. Saves him some trouble. ]
no subject
Good. Nothing more annoying than people who think they know me better than me.
[And he will, naturally, return the favor down the line. If someone says they're fine after being shot, he's learned that they're generally actually fine and not just trying to dismiss nearly dying. It also saves a lot of trouble.]
