1. what do you know about job interviews?
i didnt know you have to interview to get jobs. even if it's just at a restaurant!! regardless of whether the job itself involves talking to people at all!!? stupid

[ Guess who's been bombing interviews as a part-time busboy all over town. And who's only bothering to ask about proper employment beyond random quests, um, now, after several months of just getting by...? He must be getting tired of stealing hotchips from the cornerstore. ]

2. what do you know about going to school as a full-time student here?
i heard you can make a living like this
insight about going to school in other worlds could be useful too. i was homeschooled....

[ But at least he's thinking in terms of solutions. ]

you haven't told me before.

[rediscovering]

i know.
well. my dad shot lightning at me once. with his firebending. but i let it course through my body without passing through my heart in such a way that i could redirect it and shoot it back at him.
but... thats not phones.

[ Far more interesting, clearly. ]

[zunge]

...what the hell did that feel like?

[rediscovering]

painful.
like you feel every muscle group tense up until you can channel your chi the other way.
it wasn't comfortable. and it's dangerous.
but it saved my life.
if i hadn't redirected it, it would've hit my heart.
but i could definitely feel it from head to toe.....

[zunge]

interesting...

[rediscovering]

it's a very advanced technique. as is lightningbending itself. most firebenders can't do that. i can't. but my uncle taught me how to redirect it because my father and sister can.
i could probably redirect it more easily here too now that i have siphoning magic, come to think of it......

[ ...Now he's strangely eager to go out and practice. ]
