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.]

Comments

[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.

[oceanbreasts]

Oh he's totes got us all on lockwdown, even if I'm pretty sure most of us there could easily take care of ourselves? Guess it doesn't hurt to have an extra pair of ass kicking feet around though.

[circumsutus]

Plus certain types of people are more likely to learn their lesson if they're not being beat up by girls in short skirts.

[oceanbreasts]

Oh, I dunno about that. Pretty sure not much teaches a lesson to a guy better than bein' made into an innie by a girl in a cute little outfit.

[circumsutus]

Some guys might come back for more.

[oceanbreasts]

Touche.

[ pause. ]

You the kinda guy that'd come back for more?

[circumsutus]

No, not me. But... I do know some.

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.]

[circumsutus]

[Oh Maka...]

Of course you did.

[You know, sometimes you remind him of Spirit at that age. The same absurd sort of work ethic.]

[heartandsoul]

[Professor do her a favor and never say that aloud.]

But that was a long time ago. I only decided to take on this job because I know the man that's opening the cafe.

[circumsutus]

[No he'd never do that.

Now, if he were ever mysteriously aged down...]

Oh? Who's that?

[Professa's got to check this guy out, give him the old "creeper on your soul then threaten you" talk.]

[heartandsoul]

He goes by two names--Johann Faust V and Mephisto Pheles. Actually, we found out he's Rin's half brother...it was a surprise to Rin, Mr. Faust is his principal at True Cross.

--Ah, also he's a demon.

[So he doesn't...have a soul.]

He's a little quirky but very nice.

[circumsutus]

[Maka...]

Usually, Maka, "demon" and "nice" do not go together.

[heartandsoul]

Professor, how would you even know? Demons as they exist in Rin's world don't exist in our world!

[They call Asura the "demon god" but it's not literal...]

[circumsutus]

We have myths, Maka. [The idea of "demon" had to come from somewhere.] Legends don't just start themselves.
