Near, far, in our motor car, oh what a happy time we'll spend..! JOBS JOBS JOBS

Hey, Exsilium!

Just a quick announcement of a new job opportunity coming your way, which effectively brings with it a new mode of transportation around the city. I'm aware Exsilium pretttty much just bit the dust and is undergoing a lot of recovery, so don't worry, it's nothing fancy... but I would love for it to be eventually! I'm talking about a new taxi cab service, courtesy of Asami Sato, because let's face it: buses run on too tight of a schedule and people have places to be and things to haul.

So first thing's first: for now, Asami will be available to drive people around on her motorcycle as a service. Feel free to hit up her IC Inbox for CR-building purposes down that avenue! In addition, there is a handful of totally rad pedicabs for which Asami is hiring drivers. Not as cool or fast as driving a car, but we have limitations!

I would love to see this progress, though, so engineers and mechanics: when the IC post about this goes up (shortly), your help will be summoned.

For those interested in earning some extra cash, Asami is hiring drivers ages fourteen and over—and that applies to if and when motor vehicles become a part of this as well. A percentage will go back to Asami so that she can pay engineers and mechanics to help refurbish a couple vehicles... so tip your drivers. Later on, if motor vehicles become a thing, Asami will totally provide driving lessons. Aww yis.

Also looking for investors HAHA because I like nitty-gritty. BUT YEAH so Asami has been saving up in the event of a business venture. If you've ever seen an episode of Shark Tank (which all of you should because that show is the best ever), it'll work like that; if you invest, you get a percentage back... etc., that can get complicated, we don't all have that much free time so I'm open to both handwaving and roleplaying things like negotiations and such. (Anyhow, at the end of the day Asami needs to own at least 51% of the company, so probably like three investors max... or something idek.)

I think I might've had more to say, but I'm forgetting. So if you're interested in getting in on this operation, let me know! Those of you who have threaded with me before know I can either be really on top of things or bogged down by RL for days at a time, so I'm pretty conscientious of everyone else's schedules and totally okay with both roleplaying and handwaving. Hopefully more roleplaying though! ;) Like I said, this is something small that I would love to see grow, so let's do it to it.

Last but not least, thanks to the mods for their approval and to Abby ([personal profile] ringbeast) for her help!! An IC post will go up shortly, and I will link to it here.

ETA 1 (of many to come I'm sure): OH AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK lmfao

Here is my plurk: [plurk.com profile] themongers or you can drop comments/suggestions/questions/Roppie get out of town here, or PM me. :) annnnd yes that post is coming

ETA 2 The network post is actually happening a little later until a few more things are squared away! I received awesome feedback from Jansen that makes the situation a little more complex, but definitely all the better. But if anyone wants to weigh in or get involved in anything pertaining to a potential taxi/improved transportation service, I invite you all for a discussion on it here!
