002 ⋆ volunteering job seeker!

[chizuru]

Hello, Vatheon residents. [ Chizuru smiles at the screen, video fully enabled for the feed.

She's been in Vatheon for over a month now, and volunteering at the clinic is working out for her. The only thing is, she's found the Nostalgia Nook and noticed it requires actual currency. Volunteering at the clinic doesn't do much for her in that regard. ]

Chizuru Yukimura. [ She bows her head. ] I'm, ah, looking to maybe do some side jobs in return for Starfish Tokens. I'm not really sure what I could do, but.. I am good at cooking, cleaning, and laundry.. and that sort of thing. Anyone maybe have any recommendations or anything they need done? Thank you!

You could try finding a job at one of the restaurants? I don't know how much they hire non-locals, but it might be worth a shot.

[He shrugs. He's not really sure where else she could get a job with those credentials. Mostly because he hasn't bothered to look for a job himself.]

[chizuru]

I didn't know that locals carried Starfish Tokens. [ Did they have need for them? Then and again, not much in Vatheon made sense to Chizuru.. ]

May I have your name? [ The girl smiles gently. ] And thanks for the suggestion! I'm going to check into that.

[fundemetal]

Yeah, I don't know if they do either. But they might. It doesn't hurt to ask.

Leo Valdez. [He gives her a thumbs up along with a smile.] No problem.

[Tohru saw this and figured she might be polite and give her a suggestion.]

Well... I just started up a small cleaning business and already have some work. Maybe you could help with that. I get paid in those Starfish Tokens, so it works out.

[chizuru]

Oh! [ Chizuru raises a hand to her chin to think. ] It'd be much easier to do jobs like that in a group.. I'd love to join you if you'd let me.

[ A business? That sounded pretty serious, but Chizuru was more likely to get better jobs then! ]

[changingtheflavor]

I'll gladly let you. I could use any help I can get... I mean, I've never really run a business before, so sorry if I have no idea how to do it.

[She's still rather nervous about it.]

[chizuru]

Okay, I'd be honored! [ She bows her head to the camera. ] I'm Chizuru Yukimura, what's your name? [ Yes, she's already said her name, but that's not really how introductions go! ]

[changingtheflavor]

I'm honored, really. [She bows, still holding onto the device.] My name's Tohru Honda.

[chizuru]

Would you like to meet up sometime and discuss this? I think I already have a customer lined up. I can bring the details. [ Chizuru nods. ]

[changingtheflavor]

Oh, yes! Then we can discuss times and who can do whose house.

[It sounds like a plan is coming together. Tohru looks more relieved the more they talk.]

[chizuru]

Sounds good to me! I'll send you a message soon and we'll meet up then. [ She nods once. ]

[ukidokiotaku]

Good at cleaning you say?

[Renge is too use to living the rich lifestyle, so things like cleaning are not something she wants to do honestly.]

[chizuru]

Yep! [ Chizuru smiles eagerly in reply to that. ] I'm used to doing house cleaning, yard maintenance.. all of it!

[ukidokiotaku]

That sounds impressive. I must say I am rather interested in hiring you. I will pay of course.

[chizuru]

Alright! If you can, could you send me a message with what you want done, a time, and your name? I'll then reply to you once I have things figured out and we'll go from there! [ She bows her head briefly. ] It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss..?

[ukidokiotaku]

Ah, my name is Renge Houshakuji. Also, do you mean later on because if you want a list of what I wanted done, I could just do it here.

[chizuru]

Give me a moment, please. [ Chizuru's at home, so she's able to get out a notepad. ] List what you'd like done, what times are good for you, and where you live if you would!

[ukidokiotaku]

Well, I guess I want the cleaning and laundry done mostly. I've never really done it myself and it looks like a hassle to do.

[She soon explains where she lives. Making sure to send directions to the location.] Anytime is god as well as I mostly work from home, but if I'm not I'll leave a spare set of keys for you.

[chizuru]

Alright, I understand. By cleaning, you mean all of the rooms? [ This'll be a big job.. Chizuru hopes Renge is willing to pay well. ]

[ukidokiotaku]

Yes and since I live in an apartment it's less than what it would be back home. [Think of it as an upside if you will.]

[chizuru]

Okay, I think I got this all, Houshakuji-san. I need to organize my schedule, and when I figure out a time to come to your home.. I'll send you a notification and if you agree to the time, I'll be over then!

[ She bows her head. ]

[ukidokiotaku]

Very well and thank you.

[With a bow of her own head she switches off the feed on her end..]

I can always use help at the bakery~

[chizuru]

Oh, a bakery.. [ Chizuru nods. ] I can try to help you out! I'm used to Japanese baking, but I'm a quick learner in the kitchen.

[savemegermany]

Oh! You're Japanese! I'd love to add some Japanese breads and treats to my menu~

[chizuru]

I have a few things going on now that need to be straightened out, but how about I send you a message sometime in the future.. before I plan to come over and.. we'll see how that goes? [ Chizuru tilts her head. ]

((OOC: I figured in a few weeks I can open a log where Chizuru comes over and he can maybe show her things. I'd PM you in advance. That sound good?))

[savemegermany]

Ve, that sounds great! Come over any time. It's RED Bread in the plaza. My name's Italy~~

[ good for me :D ]

[chizuru]

RED Bread.. and your name is Italy. It's a pleasure to meet you, Italy. [ Chizuru bows her head as much as she can to the camera. At least, she'd be good with customer service. ] I look forward to meeting you in person at your bakery!

[savemegermany]

Nice to meet you! I bet we'll be great friends~

[doctor_dragoon]

Are you having any luck?

[chizuru]

I am! I'm joining a cleaning business partnership and am going to go check out Italy's bakery and help him out if it suits me!

[ Chizuru smiles to prove her enthusiasm. ] Are you looking for a job, too, Okumura-san?

[doctor_dragoon]

I've been considering it. I'm already volunteering with the clinic and the defense force, but I suppose it would be nice to have some spare tokens.

[chizuru]

I didn't think I would need tokens at first, but now people are offering really neat services and goodies for them..

[doctor_dragoon]

And the Nostalgia Nook offers a lot of items that I've yet to see anywhere else, but tokens are the only way to get them.

[chizuru]

I.. haven't been there yet. [ She tilts her head. ] What kinds of items are there?

[doctor_dragoon]

You can find items specific to your home world there.

[chizuru]

That's quite.. something. [ She thinks about it for a moment. ] I'll have to check it out now. Thanks, Okumura-san!

[doctor_dragoon]

You're welcome, Yukimura-san.
