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.

You can always pick up some side jobs. [ He blinks a couple of times. Maybe this guy needs some sleep or something those are some nice nonexistent, puffy panda circles-- ]

Something moved?

( video )

[unhappymeal]

Mm. My room changed.

( video )

[competition]

I guess some people left... [ Though he's not sure? Well, how else-- ]

Is everything still in it?

( video )

[unhappymeal]

Everything's the same. People leaving... that is the most likely reason.

( video )

[competition]

A lot of people have been leaving lately.

But if you're looking for a job... [ Work at Poketopia.

Put on that apron.



Be the father that Shirou aspires to be in every way...! ]

( video )

[unhappymeal]

Did you have a suggestion?

[He could stand working in an apron. Of course, if Shirou really saw he'd be embarrassed.]

( video )

[competition]

Yeah... But do you work well with--[ Wanted to say Pokemon, but. ]

Animals?

( video )

[unhappymeal]

I've never really worked with them.

( video )

[competition]

You just need to get along with them, that's all.

And I guess people, too.

( video )

[unhappymeal]

What kind of work is it...?

( video )

[competition]

It's a Pokemon-themed cafe.

( video )

[unhappymeal]

[He's not sure he can imagine himself working at a cafe. He's not sure he'd do well at it either, at least until his health has improved. But it's a thought, and he puts on a smile anyway.]

"Pokemon"? Those are the animals in question?

( video )

[competition]

Yeah. They're friendly. [ But a handful. He'll take out Pikachu to show...

But Pikachu only squints because this isn't a cute girl, it's an old man. Red, why did you take him out for this?! ]

( video )

[unhappymeal]

I see. It's cute. I'll have to come by at the least.

( video )

[competition]

You should. They like meeting new people... Especially Pikachu though he plays with people's hair. [ But mouse looks grumpy right now. ]

( video )

[unhappymeal]

He looks a little offended at the moment.

( video )

[competition]

Pikaaaaaaa...! [ "BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT A PRETTY GIRL!!" ]

I told him he couldn't have any sweets.

[ Yup, going to lie. ]

( video )

[unhappymeal]

Does he usually eat sweets?

["Isn't that bad for animals?", he wonders.]

( video )

[competition]

Sweets are his favorite. [ It probably depends... Don't feed chocolate to other animals though, okay, Kiri? ]

But then he gets... [ Hyper. ]

( video )

[unhappymeal]

Wound up? I see... that's just like a child.

( video )

[competition]

I think he's a little over four years. [ So he guesses?? Not sure how Pokemon life cycles are. ]

Do you have a kid? [ Since you're kind of old. ]

( video )

[unhappymeal]

Mm. I have two.

( video )

[competition]

Are they here? Or... [ To be away from your children must be sad is what he thinks. ]

( video )

[unhappymeal]

...No, they aren't.

[Technically one is, but he thinks it's wise not to spread that around too much when it's a version of his son totally beyond the one he knew.]

( video )

[competition]

Oh... That's okay. [ Might be even better, to be honest. ]

I bet they miss you.
