Munny, Munny, Munny....

[Ooh. Someone sounds like he's in a foul temper, grumbling into the NV. A jangling of silver bells grows distant, and wind whips over the NV speaker. Joe's breathing heavily into it too, huffing as he heads home at a brisk walk.]

They say it makes this whole world go around. [And then he growls flatly, in self-pitying irritation] Well guess who's going absolutely nowhere.

They cut my worktime in half at the stadium, because some Hockey star's spoiled rotten kid on the Sector Six Saints wants to have his own job. So I'm training somebody to be my own replacement, and making half as much now! They said I could go back to hawking sodas in the stands, but they couldn't pay me tech wages for concessions. Well! What a thank-you!

[An acrid laugh turns into another bitter mumble.]

...I shouldn't have gotten fresh with my manager, but... I guess I'll ...just call him in the morning and say sorry. Sorry, I really can't afford to quit. Does anybody have any advice for that? Like should I have Xion bake a cake, or just come crawling back like a kicked dog?

(...at least I won't have so many presents to buy this year.)

Does anyone know any place that are hiring newcomers for decent pay? Someplace that's not on AGI or SERO's lists. Or...I don't know, some... holiday party coming up, they need a DJ for? I'm really running kinda low on my luck here.

[Another low, disgusted snort]  Pretty soon we'll be taking food boxes from those creepy people at the Jenova church basement again.

You like music do you not?

[madeinoblivion]

Uh huh. But it's sort of hard to get a club gig when AGI's got you on their blacklist.

Well, I happen to own a music store, and I could use a manager. Do you think you would be up for the position?

Re: Video

[madeinoblivion]

Wait- you do...

OH! Brooke's!? I forgot all about that...

Re: Video

[tea_lover64]

Yes. Well since my tea shop opened up, I have been focusing more attention on that.

Would you be interested?

Re: Video

[madeinoblivion]

Uh...sure. I-

When would you need me to be there?

Video

[tea_lover64]

Usual daytime hours, eight until six or so. Though as the darkness comes earlier, feel free to close earlier as needed.

Re: Video

[madeinoblivion]

Okay. And... I just gotta keep the store? I think I could do that.

Video Late *sobs*

[tea_lover64]

Well, there is the matter of keeping inventory, and making sure the cash is counted each day, and making a schedule for the other workers, addressing customer concerns, watching for thieves and such. Though keeping the store sums it up well enough I suppose!

[madeinoblivion]

Oh, well, I guess I can do most of that, no problem! Thieves won't stand a chance.

[tea_lover64]

Good. I am glad to hear that Joe. If you need some help, feel free to call.
