From the front office of Robert Gerade: I, Robert Gerade, hereby announce my formal plans to appoint multiple public officials to work under me, in an attempt to better the quality of life for all those involved, and all current residents under my authorative rule, by power of election. Appointed officials will be required to report to my quarters, and must createn a written account of current skills and the work they are seeking to be employed in. Payment will be discussed in person if one is selected. Current job opportunities include, but are not limited to: General labor Engineering/construction Chemestry and reaserch Savenging/Exploration Respond as soon as possible, in writing. Necessary writting equipment can be found at my office, and the illiterate may have forms written for them. ((If you where wondering, the Irony of the last statement is on purpose. Also, if your unsure what's going on here, your going to actually write up an application for your character in the job of his choosing. Don't make it a chore! Have fun with it, and try to play to your characters strongsuits.)) |

[The note contained below is written on a torn, stained, burnt piece of paper in what looks like charcoal. As the letter is carefully unfolded, a few errant flakes of burnt wood fall out of the folds. The note inside is smudged, and written in barely-legible chicken scratch, putting infinitely more stress on the reader's eyes. The spelling mistakes are glaringly obvious, some words being spelled phonetically in the most meticulous way possible. The grammar is barely passable, as though it was written by a five year old. The transcript, when translated and copied to a fresh sheet of paper, read as follows:] To Mr. Gerade: I hope that you found my... Unique skill set to be useful to you in your recent rise to power. Finding myself short on money and resources, I would like to work for you should you find yourself in need of my services again. I would like to throw my hat into the ring for the Scavenging and Exploration office of the Bucket-Town Board. I ask for little in return- you may pay however you see fit, and I request only that you inquire with Benny O'Boyle for the sherriff's office in return. The old Ghoul is a visionary, and he could do big things for your little town. I'll meet you at your earliest convenience, preferably in either Bobo's or the church, to discuss rates and duties. Until then, I bid you a good day. ~Darrel Cohen Professional Wealth Redistribution |

[The following note is written on paper that looks to have been crumbled, then un-crumbled, then re-crumbled, and then un-crumbled. It appears that the paper has been used many times, and there are several rips in the paper from use. The paper also smells like it has been passed through the local cesspool before arriving at Gerade’s office. On the paper, it starts with unreadable handwriting. It appears as if the person first attempting to write the note didn’t know how to write. Past that, the rest of the handwriting is fairly legible. A fancy-looking drawing on the corner of the paper shows that a professional writer, someone who writes for someone else in exchange for goods and services.] Dear Robert Gearde, My name is Ellis Colbeck, son of John Colbeck. I hail far to the south, down in the swamps. After getting someone to help me read the bulletin board with the jobs you had, I got a fancy writer-thingy person to write this note that you wanted. I hope that I can land a job in your Consutrion and Engineering things. I used to work on an irrigation pump when I worked for a man named Clarence Roe. With my skills, I hope that I can help this Signed, Ellis Colbeck [On the backside of this note, there is some furious writing; presumably by the man that Ellis Colbeck asked to write this note for him] Mr Gearde, I beg of you. For Bucket Towns sake, do not put this man near anything that isn’t above menial labor! Send him out on a doomed mission to go find something! Do not put this…idiot of a man near anything that will mean he actually has to think! I fear that if he is put in the postion he wants to be, he may cause more harm then good. My own personal recommendation, as a person who supported you from the very start of your bid for mayor, I’d put him in scavenging and exploration. At least then his shotgun can be put to somewhat of a use Signed, Jim Craw |

[The following note is written on a small plank of wood, and carved into the plank is a note. The writing is nearly illegible, and each word must be looked at for several seconds to understand what it says. Several words are shortened to save length.] Dear Gerade, No paper left at church. Written on wood. Would like to work in Chemestry/ reaserch/Savenging/Exploration. Sorry about the wood thing. Signed, Eddy Grey. |

[A once full timesheet is now being reused for another purpose. It is written in thick, tar-like ink, and the script is long, angular and shakey. It is the work of someone who has spent considerable time making their notes look 'educated' and 'elegant', going so far as to add intricate line-work under the heading. While it was an attempt at making it look proffesional, and have the appearence of wealth, it is an obvious fake.] ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~Eli Ambrose~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~~-~-~-~-~ Dear Robert Gerade, I, Eli Ambrose, am currently looking for employment in and around Bucket-Town. In my search for work that would play to my unique skillset, I happened upon your offer. It was too promising to pass, up, and I am therefore submitting this as my official aplication for work. Trust me, you will not regret happening upon this page, as I will be of great value to you in your attempted projects. I'm a skilled and well known proffesional, confident in my skills in abilities. I have knowledge of Mechanics, engineering, and robotics, and have basic knowledge in chemestry. My education is such fields is second to known, and will certainly be of great assistance to you. Other then that, I have skills in tracking and cartography. As such, I would be well suited to any intellectual positions available (That is, anything you are currently seeking other then general labor.) Personally, I would perfer work in chemestry and research, as I am more easily suited to such pursuits. Seceond to this, I would likely seek work in the fields of engineering and construction. I am aware of the demand in my area of skill, and will therefore wait for your response in a lodging in "Bobo's". Respond quickly, as I will not remain open for your available positions for a long period of time. Sincerely, Eli Ambrose, master mechanic. [The passage drips with arrogance, although his trumped up value is a calculated risk. Eli is desperate for work.] |

[The following note is written on paper that was once white but after 200 years, its turned an ugly yellow. The writing looks like it was written with a standard HB2 pencil. The words a smudged but still readable.] Mr. Gerarde, My name is George White and I would like to offer my services to Buckettown, I hail from the Northern ruins of Detroit where I honed my skills as a mechanic. I would like to volunteer to be the town mechanic and I think I would be a perfect match, I have over 9 years of experience and I could do wonders, Cars, Lights, Power Grids, Terminals, you name it, I fix it. I do require a (preferably RobCo) jumpsuit and some tools if I am to start on this occupation. -George White |

[The following text was found on a note that had been attached to the bulletin board by means of a dog tooth. It was found on a sheet of paper that at one time was clean and smooth, but now bore numerous smudges and watermarks. It also smelled faintly of alcohol. The letters themselves look fairly well done, as though they had been slowly and meticulously written, but the text that they formed could only be described as, in the words of one of Mr. Gerade's parishioners, "absolutely atrocious." The grammar and spelling were exceptionally bad. The author also had an annoying habit of writing all of his "corrected" words in bold text.] "Deer Mistur I wuz 1 of yer old Sinseerlee, Judas Charles Sanford P.S. Sorry abowt the note.

[[Written in quite girly handwriting with little flourishes and a bizarre mixture of cursive and print. There are smudges in the graphite where it looks as though someone has erased the dots on the eyes and then redrawn them. Closer examination reveals they were at one time hearts, clovers, smiley faces, stars and other manners of cuteness. They seemed to have be later restrained and limited. A few emotes still exist in the text. It seems to be written on a test print for a magazine. It's of a pretty blond in a sexy scientist outfit...with a lab coat. ]] "Hello, sir!

[The below inscription is written in a very formal fashion that can be considered uncommon in the wasteland. Also the paper it is written on is in fairly good condition (as good as it can get after a dozen decades). The paper is uncrumpled, unfolded, and other than a few torn edges there is no damage to the paper. It is relatively unstained of foriegn organic matter. However, the paper as a whole is a faded tan color.] Dear Mr. Gerade: You may refer to me as Keagan as I do not know you well enough for you to either know my first name, nor call me by it, as such I shall refrain from calling you by your first name out of respect as well. I am writing to inform you that I have read you current request for able bodied citizens of Bucket Town to assist you in your endeavor to improve Bucket Town for the better. Now while I cannot say that I have the strength for General Labor, the interest and training for construction, or the education for Chemistry and Researching, I can tell you that I do have other skills that you may or may not find useful. I have had certain… experiences with radiation poisoning and can easily identify the symptoms of such as well as knowledge of human anatomy. While I have no medical training (in reference to treatment) I’m sure my knowledge could be used in a combat setting. Now I’m sure you would like to avoid violence as much as possible, but remember that in the world we live in, it would still be useful for guards and any future law enforcement as well as current expeditionary forces. Now other than this knowledge I also possess combat experience and can apply it as necessary. However, unlike most other people, I can show restraint when it is necessary. Now as for what I would like to do with my particular skill set. I would like to inform you that I would like to be part of any internal law enforcement you may have. I will uphold the law in order to preserve this town and the order that you instill within it. While I know this was not on your list, if you recall you did say that job opportunities were not limited to what was on said list. Now as for what is on the list, in place of law enforcement I will inform you that I have been on several scavenging expeditions and have worked for some people that have required me to travel across the wasteland to complete my mission. So, needless to say, in place of law enforcement, I will accept a job in Scavenging/Exploration. We may discuss payment at your discretion. Thank you for taking some of your valuable time to read this letter. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Mr. Keagan |

[Written as an afterthought on the back of a dedications page torn from a book. Handwriting is steady and upright.] Mr. Gerade, After a brief stay in the new Bucket Town Jail, I came to a realisation that Bucket Town needs a more regular security force to prevent attacks by scavengers and to keep trade routes safe and open. I would be willing to join and if necessary, could train such a force. Will await feedback when I return from dealing with the "squatters" at the Villa. Sincerely, Caleb H. Wolff |

Please contact me as soon as possible, i just yearn for adventure. Yours Daniel Wood The Letter has been written on paper ripped down the right edge, most likely from a pre-war book.
