The Future Freaks Me Out

So, children, what do you want to be when you grow up?

Half marks if you say "redeemed" or "good" or anything cliched like that. No one makes a living just by being redeemed.

Hmm. Do they have a "Hero" section in the want ads now?

(In some worlds, they very well may.)

You'd be surprised! Back in Midgar, any SOLDIER worth the uniform he's wearing has his own fan club and everything!

... I would have said I'd be a SOLDIER when I grew up, but I kinda already am one, and there really isn't any room for promotion once you're at the rank that I've got anyhow. But, you know, people paying attention to me when I do something right? That wouldn't hurt, too.

Interesting. So you'll just stay the level of SOLDIER you are until you stop being one? That doesn't sound like it's a system that rewards effort much.

And recognition is always nice.

... You know, usually I'd argue with that logic, but lately they haven't even been giving me any work. I'd be getting frustrated, if I wasn't too bored to be frustrated.

Sounds like time to take on a bit of freelancing on the side, unless they'd object.
