The Interdimensional Temp Agency

[dragomorph]

The economy being what it is, one can easily understand the need to find odd jobs to make ends meet on occasion. For those with a particularly daring bent and an open mind -- not to mention the means, accidental or otherwise, to reach the place -- the Interdimensional Temp Agency is there to provide for all of your jobbing needs, whether in this dimension or in another one altogether. Just be sure the job is appropriate to your skill level; it's really bad for their bottom line if their temps get killed, after all.

This is not quite a meme. Parts of it are meme-LIKE, but a lot of it relies on a certain degree of variance as opposed to more standard memes. That said, there are a few jobs on the board that are fairly generic, if you want to roll for them. This portion probably translates easiest into a general meme should someone decide to replicate this elsewhere:

GENERIC

1.) Babysitting: Kids? Dogs? Dragon eggs? Could be any of these. Either way, you need to make sure they're safe and fed. Although try not to feed YOURSELF to them.

2.) Office Temp: You know. Filing, typing, phone calls, collecting immortal souls -- wait, how'd THAT job get on there?

3.) Grunt Work: Somebody needs some warehouse workers. Somebody else needs someone to carry all their equipment as they go on a fantastic journey. Guess what you get to do.

4.) Gardening and Agriculture: GREEEEEEEN ACRES IS THE PLACE FOR ME.

5.) Delivery: Is it just me, or is that package ticking?

6.) Surveillance: Watching over things. Or watching out for things. Basic stuff.

7.) Substitutes: You're filling in for some job or another. Teaching? Soul reaping? Who knows, it varies.

8.) Wild Card: Anything I couldn't think of here.


Where this meme varies, however, is the OTHER option: Crafting a mission based upon a fandom you're in of your own making. This obviously requires a bit more thought and GMing, but if that's your sort of thing, it can actually be pretty fun. Of course, it could also be pretty basic if you want it to. Whatever works. The following jobs are, for example, what I've got to offer:

CANON SPECIFIC:

1.) GRAVITY FALLS: The mystery shack needs some temp hires to help out with the summer rush. You know, janitorial work, working the registers. ...What, we gotta pay you? Stupid work regulatory rules. And no, that thing in the corner didn't just move, shut up.

2.) TOUHOU PROJECT: How unusual. The shikigami of the house has actually fallen down ill, and needs some help with the basic household chores and shopping. Watch out for danmaku fairies.

3.) CAVE STORY: A witch needs someone to go search for herbs and the like in the Grasstown area. Clearly this is a safe and easy mission that anybody can enjoy. Sucker.

4.) SKYRIM: We've been trying to deliver this package to a Mr. M'aiq for eons, but we can't seem to find him. It's like he never stays in one place for very long for some reason. Maybe you'll have better luck?

5.) ACE ATTORNEY: Gatewater land needs a few more people to don badger costumes for the latest Badger Photo Rally. We REALLY hope somebody doesn't get killed on the premises this time.

6.) MAKE YOUR OWN SCENARIO: In your first reply, put up the details of your mission and run it yourself! Fun for the whole family.

Finally -- and this is something I'm DEFINITELY only offering here: For anybody interested in IRC dungeon crawls, I'd be willing to run a "mission." This is more in depth, more exploratory, and faster paced. If you're not good at IM-style RP, this might not be for you, but if anybody is interested, lemme know and I can set something up.
