What do you do for work when you need extra money?

[He asks quietly but confidently, without pause. Today he isn't as cheerful at the last time he made a post. He's still worn out, but somehow he looks even more exhausted than he did before. He's scruffy, and there's something about him that seems haunted and hollowed-out despite the mild-mannered calm in his voice.

He's pulling his coat on as he talks, and heading out from his room into the hall.]

What's given freely is good, but it doesn't count for luxuries, so--

[Once in the hall he stops, looking confused. He turns around to look at his door: number 307 in Sigyn's Welcome Hall.]

...It moved.

I'm waiting tables. Kind of a step down from my last gig, but it's an experience? And I got a really cool boss so it works out.

I understand that's a tougher job than it sounds like.

It could be a lot worse. I mean, the grey citizens are kind of bland, but they're also pretty cool when you mistake their earl grey for their lady grey, you know?

That would be a benefit, yes. You don't find them eerie?

Granted, yeah, they're pretty spooky. But dude, who isn't before they're caffeinated?

[The joke gets a small smile out of Kiritsugu, as he leaves his (new) door behind.]

Maybe we should try giving them coffee.

Way ahead of you on that front!

So, you're in the market for a job yourself? Any ideas?

Not yet. I might try to get one soon, but I'm still considering.

Waiting to see if you can get by without those luxuries you mentioned?

For the time being, yes. It's a matter of budget.

You know the shops here don't take cash from our home worlds? You need a job to even have a budget.

You can budget time and energy too.

Yeah, but that's not going to get you any of your luxuries.

True, true. I'll find out how sparsely I can stand to live soon enough.

Embracing the lifestyle of a heedless freeloader? Live the dream, man.

I'm old enough to deserve it, don't you think?

I think the rule is that you got to have a stick and dentures if you want to make the old enough argument.

Ah, those are strict standards. Looks like I'll be stuck having to get a job after all.

On the plus side, you can now complain about your boss, customers and The Man with impunity.
