[It's Evangeline! She's not wearing the flower she usually wears in her hair.]

Job searching seems to be a pretty popular topic here, so here's a related question: how do you write a resume and describe your skills and work experience without sounding violently unhinged?

Like I was thinking of applying to be a garbage collector, because I'm used to cleaning up dead bodies and have a high tolerance for bad smells from that. And at home 'experience with handling corpses' would be a perfectly reasonable thing to put on a job application, but I get the impression that it might be kind of a red flag here?

-Also, if you don't have any advice on that, then tell me which of these supernatural accessories says 'promising employee candidate' to you.

[She holds up a red flower with roots in one hand and a... headband of golden eyes? in the other. The look of the eyes might be familiar to people who read her last post.]

I could wear them both, and I usually would at home, but for a job interview I'm a little less concerned about power and a little more concerned about fashion.

[ Oh hey, Junpei butting in because this girl, man. He wondered if her and Chidorita would get along for how weird about death they both got--

Wait, weird about death... ]

Yeaaahhhhh putting it like that ain't great. Maybe like, 'experienced dealing with...' uh, shit, I know there's like a better word for just corpses...

[ Give him a minute or two-- ]

Cadavers? I think that's the term?

[ But to toss out some ideas for her-- ]

Do you think you could work at the hospital or a funeral parlor...? I'm sure that'd be good places too with that kinda 'tolerance.

Also I like the red flower, it looks cute on you. The eyes give me kinda weird vibes.

Mmm, I don't know if those would work out. At least not if I had to interact with patients or customers - I'd probably upset someone being too callous about dying.

[At least she recognizes that's likely to make grieving people unhappy with her.]

The flower's my favorite EGO gift too. The eyes are gifts from a stronger Abnormality, so at home it'd be more impressive, but that doesn't really matter here I guess.

[blazeoflife]

Yeah you'd definitely need to stick to the backrooms, and not customer service, no offence.

[ At least they could both be honest about that? ]

...A EGO gift?

[ Ooh, more Lore dumps? Junpei sounded interested. ]

Whazzat?

[abnormalizes]

Right, so when you work with Abnormalities, if you do a really good job and the Abnormality's very happy with you, sometimes they'll give you a gift? Which has a little bit of their power in it. EGO suits and weapons are made with extracted energy, but for gifts there isn't any way to get them other than the Abnormality taking a liking to you.

The glasses are an EGO gift too, I don't actually have bad eyesight.

So wait, like-- that's why that headband looks like that weird bird things's eyes you posted about earlier?

[ Look just because he didn't reply to it doesn't mean he didn't read it, okay? He totally did and was totally horrified! ]

So... like, these things, these Abnormalities, they can think? They can Like people???

[abnormalizes]

Yep! A lot of them even talk. Their perception of the world and rules of being are different from a human's, but they're definitely intelligent, and they have feelings and opinions.
