bktheirregularConsidering the quote from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
butterflykiki, which I hope she doesn't kill me for referencing...
No, I wouldn't move to the Jossverse. Between:
- the insanely high chances of being eaten, shredded, disappeared off the face of the planet as a side-effect, or a hundred other variants on Redshirt Syndrome;
- the fact that health or life insurance would be pretty much worthless considering how many things could be swept up under the "Act of God" exemption; (Possessed by ancient demon? Act of God. No payment. Hit by mystical meteor strike? Act of God. No payment. Hit by bus thrown by lava golem at champion? Act of God. No payment. Eaten by zombies, werewolves, vampires, and/or Powers that Be? You get the idea...)
- the fact that so far as I can tell, the only places a lawyer could find work either require signing over one's soul or working for a boss with a tendency to kneecap people who don't share his particular obsession du jour;
- the fact that only the evil, psychologically totaled, crippled, or Prozac-deprived have a life expectancy longer than that of a Yankee manager in the pre-Torre era, and trying to be a nice person guarantees you a hideous, grisly death;
...the Jossverse is no place to make a life for oneself. Might be fun to visit, but I wouldn't like my odds.

Well, yes. This is why you have to cultivate an over-the-top yet charming personality, so you're death will at least be memorable avoidable. (Or not, if we look at what happened to Cordy.)
- the fact that so far as I can tell, the only places a lawyer could find work either require signing over one's soul or working for a boss with a tendency to kneecap people who don't share his particular obsession du jour;
You could work for the D.A.'s office. Thankless work, but at least you won't get kneecapped on a whim. You'll see it coming and be able to run. Or you could run for office!... wait, never mind. Even worse idea.
Might be fun to visit, but I wouldn't like my odds.
Well, no. I mean, like I said, best case scenario: well-coiffed pregnant adored psychobitch. Worst case: hit by a piano thrown through the window of Starbucks by a demon-Slayer smackdown. I probably wouldn't even get my Chai before I was a splat! on the tile.
I'm holding out for the option that at least gets me a manicure and minions.

I test my skills at a temp agency tomorrow. Then maybe my life will be worth enough that I can risk a post at
