The bottom of the pit... is a factory job.
Even after Rorschach transmigrated to an Otherworld and became a Caster, he couldn't escape the fate of a factory job.
But there were factory jobs, and then there were factory jobs. Working as an "assistant operating engineer" had meant grueling shifts that blurred day into night. It meant climbing dozens of meters up a distillation tower to shiver on a platform in the wind. It meant getting your pay docked for not tightening a valve enough, causing leaks, drips, and spills; for not memorizing every single safety regulation; for not holding the handrail on the stairs...
Now, however, Middle Level Mage Rorschach was assigned to the "Hercules" Alchemy Potion Workshop—a collaborative project between the Alchemy Department and its industry partners, set to begin production soon. His official title: "Supervisory and Management Commissioner for the Magic Guild and the Tower of Stars."
