Prompt: Loz gets a job.
A/N: Recycling an old joke. My apologies.
“I’m bored,” Loz said.
Nobody answered.
“I’m bored!” he said again.
“Then find something to do!” Kadaj snapped.
Yazoo was more helpful. “Here,” he said, tossing Loz a newspaper. “Read it. If you can.”
“I can read,” Loz grumbled. “I read like you do, and he did.”
“Will you hush up?” Kadaj said.
Loz turned away and opened the paper somewhere randomly in the middle. “Classifieds,” he said out loud.
“Do you still point at the words with your finger, Loz?” Yazoo teased.
“Will you two shut it?” Kadaj snapped. “I’m trying to work something out here!”
There was no fighting an order from Kadaj. The dominant push in their heads was too strong. Still, Yazoo allowed himself a mirthful smirk. Loz sank further into the ratty old armchair with his newspaper. His pants caught on an exposed tack on the lower side. He almost whined. There had to be something better than spending all day holed up in a grey, abandoned shack. He let his eyes fall to the paper again.
He stared at the words for a while; ‘Needed’ and ‘Wanted’ and ‘Situation Vacant’. Something stirred in his brain, reminding him of what those meant, staring up out of a newspaper in such fine print.
He supposed he could get a job. It would be something to do.
