Chapter 1: Unemployed Izzy
Izzy slammed his laptop shut. Normally he'd find that sort of abuse against technology unforgivable, but he was having a hard time forgiving himself at the moment. Finding a new job was almost impossible at the moment, and even the trustworthy internet is not bringing him any closer to one.
"Drats! Why can I not find a suitable job for a guy like me? I have a good degree and several years of experience. I can program almost any device, I can create my own computer programs, and I can produce and edit film. But there seems to be nothing available for my skill set!" Izzy shouted to himself in frustration. Izzy Izumi was now a twenty-two year old college graduate living in a small apartment near Odaiba. He had a stable job straight out of college working at the radio station, but because of low ratings and consumers it was shut down. This left Izzy out on his butt with no job.
"...Dare I try the local paper…" Izzy said, hesitant to do so. He got up and went out of his fourth floor apartment to the bottom floor where the newspaper dispenser was. There was a fresh stack of the Odaiba Oracle in the machine, and Izzy fed it several quarters. The machine clicked and he was then able to remove a paper. He began scanning it as he returned to his apartment and got halfway through jobs when he went back inside.
"Hmm… Not that one… No way! Ugh…" He said, reading job descriptions. Then Izzy spotted an odd job at the bottom of the page. It read:
= WANTED: Camera/Sound/Tech Person! =
We are in need of a new tech employee good with video cameras, soundboards and mics, and overall producing and editing software. College degree requested, starting salary would be $75 an hour. If you are interested, please contact Erich van Dietz at .com
Izzy grew more and more excited reading the job posting, until he noticed the website name.
"...Booty Bust? That kind of sounds like a porn company… But I might as well check out the website to make sure." Izzy said and opened his laptop back up. Luckily, it was not damaged from the earlier slamming. He clicked onto his internet browser and typed in the website name. When the browser had loaded the page, Izzy immediately grew red.
"Yup, that's a porn company." He said and tried not to look at the women in front of him on the screen. He scrolled down until he came to the contact page. It had the same information that the newspaper had, so he knew it was legit. Izzy then went into a thinking mode.
"Well let's try to weigh this situation… I am currently unemployed and this seems to be the only job available right now. But it is a rather dirty one so I'm not sure if it's worth it… It sure does pay a pretty penny though! I doubt I will be able to get an opportunity to work in this environment nor with this pay again. So… I'll dial that number."
