[The video opens on a grey outdoor scene. Conan's beaming broadly at the screen. He's wearing what should be a uniform jacket on a grown man but on Conan is more like a ankle length coat. He also has a matching cap that looks like it belongs to the 1950s. The reason for this quickly becomes clear.]

I have a job! It's not a very exciting or special -- but I got one! I'm delivering things for the post office in Hel! I'm still learning my way around the city, so if you see me somewhere looking lost, help me out okay? As a thank you, I'll deliver stuff for you too!

Oh, and if you're heading outside today, make sure you've got a scarf and gloves! I think it's getting even colder out here.

That's good -- I'm still learning the city! Though first day on the job -- you'd know that already!

[Yay! Junior gets a little applause and Conan's most enthusiastic smile.]

That's great news! I think you'll really enjoy them!

Yeah man. I think I'm going to start looking for a job, myself. I need new clothes.

[ And winter appropriate gear... ]

Me too! I'll let you know what I thought as soon as I finish!

[ Annnnnd...slipping a folded piece of paper out of one of the books, he hands it to Conan. ]

There you go. Hopefully it'll help.

The clothes they give you at the Welcome Hall not enough?

[Conan nods with satisfaction -- he's pretty sure Junior will enjoy the books. Who wouldn't? He takes the paper with interest quickly unfolding it.]

You'd better -- and thank you! This is the map ... [Conan nods, recognising landmarks and routes already.] This is going to be very useful -- if I'd had this today, I'd have finished half an hour earlier, I'm sure!

[ Brows furrowed, Jr. glances away and doesn't comment. The food in the kitchens is one thing, but to accept the clothes these bastards provide...it's too much for him. If he's going to wear a new outfit, it'll be one he's worked for. He stands up, stretching. ]

Good. Less time you have to spend outside in this cold, then!

[Conan, meanwhile, has no qualms about freeloading at all.]

Ah -- I definitely agree with that!

Hey, I'm just curious, but what happened to the jacket you were wearing from before?

My uniform jacket? Laurent-niichan's taking it up for me so it fits!

[ So there's someone who can tailor clothes, then? Laurent... Jr. doesn't know him. ]

Gotcha!

[ He wonders how useful it would be to compile a list of people with such skills... ]

So what's the plan now, Conan? You free or are you heading back?

Though if you're looking for a tailor, one of my other friends just got a job as one -- she's saving for her own machine.

I think I'm free!

Man, Conan! You're a directory of people here!

[ He doesn't need a tailor right this second, but it would definitely come in handy for the future. ]

Her own machine...? [ Machine...machine...what does that mean? It must have something to do with being a tailor...

Oh! Those antique machines to sew clothes? A sewing machine? ] Who is this tailor?

Ah -- not quite! Like Loki-sama says, I've only met about a tenth of the people here ...

Nakama-neechan!

[ Loki-sama!? That earns Conan a curious look, but the following answer takes Jr.'s mind off that avenue. ]

Nakama? Huh. I didn't know she could sew.

[ Sounds like everyone is getting a job these days...Jr. dourly notes that he should probably start looking for one himself. ]

Say...how did you guys all get jobs? Did you find openings or did you just ask around?

I looked around for someone with a job I thought I could do, then I followed them to see where they went. Then I just went into the post office in Hel and told them I wanted a job. They were nice to me -- maybe 'cause I live in Hel.

Nakama-neechan got a job in a district that isn't where she lives, so it was harder for her. She had to show them an example of her work and everything.

[ Jr.'s expression says it all. ]

Whoa. I mean, when I was exploring this place, I sensed a bit of a House bias from district to district, but...

[ That definitely puts a damper on things. The major location in Freya's district is...the comfort house. Jr. shudders. ]

Dammit. Hey, I know I just asked if you were free, but do you mind if we raincheck it? This job market deal is something I really want to look into now.

[ Plus, the last time he hung out with someone...he was embarrassed to realize he had no currency to spend. ]

Raincheck -- we'll catch up again when it's a better time? That's fine with me, Junior-niichan!

Good luck finding a job!

Thanks, Conan. I'll get back to you on the books.

[ For now, Jr. is a man on a mission. ]

[Salutes!]

Bye-bye, Junior-niichan!

See ya!

[ TO THE LIBRARY for great justice. ]
