➥ Jack Townsend
Canon: Tales from the Gas Station
Housing: Bonnie's, floor 1 room 2
What ADI Department(s) Does the Character Work In?: None! Please recruit him, he needs something to do with his extremely ample time. He spent a solid 75% of his life at work, and now he doesn't know what to do with himself.

Quarter Dollar -
Ya boi needs a job. If your character works in any particularly neat departments and might feasibly try to recruit him, that would be rad! His skill-set involves customer service, cleaning, raccoon wrangling, staring horrors in the face without blinking, hitting things with baseball bats, being insane, surviving monsters, and reading. He will be extremely interested in any department that could teach him how to prevent or fight an oncoming apocalypse, because... yeah, oof, he's got one looming, and he's stuck smack in the middle of a god (for all intents and purposes) war.

Fiscal Quarter -
Jack doesn't actually realize he has supernatural abilities, and it would blow his ever-loving mind. He hasn't put together the fact that his hallucinations sometimes making themselves reality is like a Gift he could maybe work on developing, and doesn't realize the thing he carries around in the box that can Tell things about people is a product of his own mind, basically. No idea how to make him realize it, but that's something imma work toward! And maybe develop long term. Not expecting much here unless your character is particularly supernaturally inclined and could Sense this kind of thing somehow, and maybe help that realization along!

Quarter Pounder -
He won't go on his own, but he's extremely easy to peer pressure. If your character would want to drag him along, all they'd have to do is say something about how it's the Right thing to do and people are getting hurt, and he'll feel enough guilt that he'll toddle along to be... helpful? Helpful-ish? He can smack things with a bat, and his secret thing in the secret box can probably tell Stuff about what's in close proximity.

Quartermaster -
CANNOT WAIT for this one actually. Jack's immune to memory loss from external sources, but a side effect of his sleep condition is memory loss lmao, so he be erasing them himself just fine. But it would be pretty cool if there's an opportunity for him to be like, blink blink, oh naw dawg. Otherwise, basically anything that could be interpreted as a hallucination or make him question his sanity could make for neat material. I'm pretty good at getting weird in tags and throwing out hooks for crazy psychological shit, so if that's your jam, we can probably make something neat happen here when we find out what the deets are.

tl;dr I'm excited to do threads with plot-y hooks, I vibe those way better than slice of life, let's do this bois.
