From: "Patrick Michael O'Shea" Subject: Re: [FSC] Passing the Fuku Date: Friday, 22 October, 1999 01:27 "Geez, it's boring here" Catherine Ellison wandered around the streets of net.tokyo, wondering for the nth time why she had let her father talk her into going here for school, instead of Haney-3 back home. they'd finally mopped up after the last Angel invasion... No, the great Aldus Ellison just couldn't spare the time to raise his only daughter. Too many adventures to be had, too many new Riders to be trained. Too much fun to be had. Typical. Oh, there was the usual speech about how net.Tokyo was safer now that the FSC had apparently vanished after a job well done(too-well, in her opinion), and that it would be better to stay with relatives here than back home where a giant beast could step on you without so much as a by-your-leave. No, can't have that. That was when Catherine came across the following piece of paper (Which Neville Chamberlaine hadn't even touched) >--- >Now Hiring > >Talented willing people to become FScouts. > >Low Pay, meet interesting monsters and blow them up. > >Wear excessivly short skirts.!! > >Sailor Newb wants you! > > > Below that was a toll free number to call. What the heck?, she figured. Beats doin' stuff. Locating a pay phone, Catherine quickly dialled the number, and listened to the automated voice "Welcome to the FSC automated receiver. To file a youma report, press one. To lodge a complaint, press 2. To ask about new positions, press 3 --" "You have selected option 3. To become Monster Bait, press 1. To become a Knight, press 2. To become a senshi, press 3 --" "You have selected option 3, become a senshi. You must now supply a reason for becoming a senshi. Defend Love and Justice, press 1. Revenge, press 2. Boredom, press 3. Spite a parent, press fo.. --------" "Thank you for calling. PLease report to this {*} address within a week for your formal interview and training schedule. Thank you for calling Dial-A-Senshi [click]". OOC: OK, I'm in. how was that for an opener, or do I need more?
