03 - some questions [video]

[paladaddy]

[Shiro is nice enough to wait until after all the dreamtroubles to pose this question to the network.]

Just curious, but how many of you here have jobs? A lot of stuff is free, so nobody really has to do anything, but it seems like it'd get boring if there wasn't work to do every day.

[he may or may not be debating doing some real work, after two weeks of being lazy.]

[Girl with pigtails?

...could it be?]

Maka?

[oceanbreasts]

Yeah! That one.

[paladaddy]

[Wow, he actually knows most of those names! Well, except for one.]

I hope things go well for the cafe, then. By the way, what's your name? I don't think we've met.

[oceanbreasts]

Roxy Lalonde, and who might you be?

[ Because you have the qualities she likes in a guy: attractive and breathing. ]

[paladaddy]

[Sorry Roxy, you're too itty for him.]

Shiro Fujimoto. It's a pleasure.

[oceanbreasts]

[ and? ]

I'll say! Been around long?

[paladaddy]

About two weeks, I think? I arrived just before the whole dream mess.

[oceanbreasts]

Your all hells of new, then. No wonder I haven't seen you around.

[paladaddy]

I've also been spending a lot of time at home, because there hasn't been much to do.

[Which is why he's considering work. He's way too young to retire yet.]

[oceanbreasts]

Yeah it can get a little slice of life around here now and then but, y'know, it could always be worse. I mean, normal is pretty good for a while.

[paladaddy]

Oh, I'm not complaining about how normal it can be. I like peace and quiet. But there's a difference between normal and monotony, and that monotony needs to be broken up.

... Maka?

[oceanbreasts]

[ ...excuse me sir did you know you have a screw through your head. ]

That'd be the one.

[circumsutus]

[Oh wow no he didn't thanks for pointing that out he'd be lost without all these helpful people staring at his body mods.]

Huh.

She never struck me as the type.

[oceanbreasts]

[ Nah it's cool she knows a guy who's part person part bird and all orange so y'know can't judge. ]

Takes all types, doesn't it? Gotta have a different sorta flavor for everyone.

[circumsutus]

I've known her for a while and I can't picture it.

[oceanbreasts]

I never pictured myself living in a giant bubble in the ocean, and yet, here we are.

[circumsutus]

Well, we didn't have much of a choice about coming here.

Does this maid cafe have adult supervision? [That means either: 1. I am a scary adult if you need protection from creepers or 2. Hey teenage girls in short skirts sign me up.]

[oceanbreasts]

Uh... well, there's the dude who runs it, I guess. And I think Night works there as like a bouncer or something? But that's pretty much it.

[circumsutus]

I've heard nothing but good things about Night, so I'm sure he'll take care of you.

Don't you remember Deathbucks, Professor? It was a place like that, too. All Academy students have to get jobs to build up their funds when they're first starting out, I don't see why I shouldn't do that again in Vatheon.

[There's no missions to go on, after all.]

[circumsutus]

[... and now he's picturing you working at Deathbucks, Maka. And he's also thinking about how often Spirit goes there, and how much his former weapon ... appreciates the staff uniform.]

I just wouldn't have pinned you for a Deathbucks kind of girl, seeing as how your father practically designed the uniform there.

[heartandsoul]

[Euuuugh, he had to remind her.]

I did what I could.

[Besides, in a way it gave Spirit a heart attack too, so double bonus trolling dad points.]

[circumsutus]

You picked Deathbucks over a job at the library? [Back home at least. Who knows if there are library jobs here.]

[heartandsoul]

Of course not!

I worked more than one job!

[DUH.]
