[ evenin' asgard. how you doin'? okay? that's nice. mako still thinks this is bullshit ok but whatever, that's already been established and probably isn't going to change any time soon. a couple of you might recognise the grumpy runner from day 84!? (if you haven't seen him on runs since then, it's because he's started running at... five am. omfg you lunatic.)

do you know how fucking unnerving it is to know you are on the sixth fucking floor of the house, and then look out the window and find it's actually apparently just the second? APPARENTLY REALLY FUCKING UNNERVING. and that's really freaking weird, so mako can't really do his usual "i am going to sit half out the window and stare at the night like the goddamn batman" thing.

so.

so, he is just hoboing it up on the steps of the back porch like a friggin' hobo, taking up a lot of space and lounging and whatever. seriously, the guy's 6'2", he can take up a lot of space when he wants to. ]

So is it a thing in everyone's worlds to go up to random people and start talking to them when they're busy, or is that just something you've picked up here? [ LMAO GUESS WHO IS KIND OF PISSED ABOUT HIS INTERRUPTED RUNNING TIME OK ] It gets kind of annoying.

[ a tiny, irritated huff, and he runs a hand through his hair mako why is your hair always such a friggin' mess, bro ]

Anyways. I'm looking for a job, since I can't exactly do what I did back home here. Got anything?

[ reaching up to switch off the feed, then pausing. ]

A gym with decent weights and a couple heavy bags would be good too.

I was thinking about stopping by Lux and a couple other places later today. There's a bakery near the Freya Welcome Hall hiring, too.

[She tilts her head, looking at him curiously.] Why're you looking for two jobs anyways?

If you want a job at the Lux, Morningstar wants two recommendations, unless you tell him you're new, so you know.

[ mako shrugs ]

Why not?

[ perpetual monetary insecurities shasdklfjsdalkf ]

Oh, that's a lot...I don't know anyone else here. I'll just stop by and tell him I'm new, I guess.

[Hmm. First that mention of gangs, and now looking for two jobs...] Did you have some money problems back home?

If you don't have any, he'll give you a test week at minimum pay, then see if he changes his mind.

[ >: ugh don't be nosy. mako's mouth thins, just a bit, but he answers. ]

Yeah.

[His surliness makes a bit more sense now.]

Sorry, I didn't mean to tease you about it. I'll keep an eye out and let you know if I see anywhere else hiring.

And...thanks for letting me know about the Lux owner. I guess you can be kind of nice if you want to be.

[ he skips right over her the first part of her response, eyes flitting to the side an back in less than a second. ]

Thanks — [ a small pause ] — and it's no trouble.

[ ... well, he might be grumpy, and serious a lot of the time, and he might not want to necessarily make friends, but he's... usually politeish? and that counts for something.

a little pause, and he runs his fingers through his hair again (IS IT OBVIOUS IT'S KIND OF A NERVOUS HABIT YET) ]

I can't help you with a second one, but if you need a recommendation, feel free to put me down.

[IT'S KIND OF OBVIOUS, ALRIGHT. Rise's trying so hard not to laugh since he's actually being helpful, and he'd probably take it the wrong way. Definitely not as much of a jerk as she thought he was, even if he is really grumpy.]

Really, you'd let me do that?

[ he's just an awkward guy, okay. most of the people charming is done by bolin...

and you'd be grumpy too if most of your coping to deal with severe psychological trauma involves taking care of a younger brother who isn't around currently! ]

Yeah.

[ ..... if she gets the job, she'll realize mako ends up works the ten hour shifts every day, all six days the lux is open. along with whatever other job he picks up. SERIOUS MONETARY INSECURITIES ]

I think I'll take you up on that if he asks for at least one reference.

[The only normal job she's had before is working in her grandmother's tofu shop, so getting references is kind of a new thing for her.]

If you need references for your second job, you can put me down, too. I'll go easy on you, I promise.

Thanks.
