Sleuth Home - Message Boards - Detective Agency Recruiting

Apr-17-2005 12:29

Grizelda drummed the fingernails of her left hand on the table top. She didn't know for sure if she wanted to be in an agency or not.

Taking to the typewriter as she usually did when thinking things through, the newshawk turned part-time sleuth made a list of all her concerns:

Will it be fun?
Will it be easy-going?
What if I can't be there all the time? There are simply some unpredictable days when I'm going to dust out. Is that a beef?
She was new to the joint -- no sap, but not entirely savvy either.

The clackety-clacking stopped as she leaned forward to re-read the list.

Nodding to herself, she knew she'd have more questions.

**I need more dope on agencies** the brown haired woman thought to herself. Picking up the phone she called one of her friends at the newspaper to find out the cost of an inquiry ad.

Ahrgh. I have been playing and "saving" the PM's that came my way. I thought I'd be able to go back to them when my case closed. **chortle** I find myself chagrined, because I can't find them. That, alone will tell you how new I am.

I want to chat before accepting or declining anything. On this thread is fine -- and I shall PM you back.

Thank you. The Player of Grizelda.

Grizelda, you can find them on your "Detective" page, the one where you see yourself, your skills, the pictures of what you are wearing, etc.

I'd rather answer more specifically by PM, but suffice it to say that by reading your questions and looking at your accomplishments, I got the impression that we would be a good fit...

I have also sent you a PM about joining Casa Blanca.

And one is sent from me...

An unruly shock of hair fell into the reporter-cum-sleuth's eyes. The sheer volume of detective agencies was overwhelming.

**They're all great joes. How do I choose just one?**

She had taken the opportunity to talk with several directors, and many agents within each of the agencies that had taken the time to contact her.

At the very least, she was sure she'd made a few friends. At the worst, she had a splitting headache trying to decide just where she belonged.

At least she had it narrowed down to four.

Finally, it came down to gut instinct. And the fickle finger of fate.

She put the names of the four agencies she felt comfortable with on separate slips of paper, placed them in a small circle on the table at the cardinal compass points and spun a pencil. The choice of agency would be the one the pencil lead pointed to.

I cannot thank everyone enough for the information and conversations that came about because of this.

You've got many a fine person in this community.

I didn't realize what I was getting into when I decided to seek out an agency. And folks have been both patient and helpful as I continue to make "newbie" mistakes.

Thanks to you all.
