The Town of Odyssey

Mr. Whittaker is the kindly grandfather figure to a lot of the children. Eugene is the technical wizard who helps keep infrastructure running. Connie is the emotional heart of the place, along with any of the help that has come and gone over the years.

If you were a citizen of Odyssey, what would/could you contribute to Whit's End, or the town in general? Would you be a steadfast and silly mailman? Or perhaps the parent of some of the kids. Kids need those too.

I would probably work at Whit's End if I lived in Odyssey. Not only would I get a chance to exercise my cashier skills, I could also help out with Kids Radio. Plus, who doesn't want Whit as a boss?

I'd most likely fill the same role/have the same job I do in real life, working at the public library. Now, if Whit were to hire someone specifically to maintain the Whit's End library on a daily basis I wouldn't say no to that...

As-is I don't do much in the real world. It does seem easier to walk around Odyssey and go places than it does here, though, which is important to me, since I don't drive. About the most I could aim for is I.S./RoC programmer, but that might not be very realistic, since I don't have many qualifications.

Anything talking about jobs is a bit of a sore spot for me.

In a world where I could do anything… the possibilities are endless. Of course I would jump at the chance to work at Whit’s End, but outside of that, it would be pretty cool to work on the set of B-TV! or be the basketball coach at Odyssey middle school or high school. A photographer would be fun too.

I would be the dead guy in the basement.

I'd probably be a little theatre person myself, putting on concerts and the like.

I'd probably be driving fence posts down at Tom Riley's farm. I spent a good portion of last summer doing that for my folks.

I'd start an arcade/snack bar across town and try to steal customers from Whit's End.

Kids still like arcades, right?

I'd be working at Whit's End. Serving ice cream... working in the library... hanging out in the Bible room... sneaking a trip on the Imagination Station at absolutely every possible chance, no matter how slight!

Living in Odyssey is fun to think about. Although I’d be happy to work anywhere in Whit’s End, I would preferably want to work with the computers, working security or fixing glitches, or work in the Little Theater, doing setup and such for shows. Other things I’d also be interested in doing is working with Detective Polehaus or Mayor Spencer Hicks. Or working at Hal’s Diner; maybe I'd get some free samples of their food.

Or maybe I could see if the Odyssey Times newspaper would be willing to do a story by me; I could write an article where I go to the Electric Palace and expose all of Bart’s unethical business practices!
