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.

action
[The call comes from a little ways into the apartment, and almost instantly; and it isn't long before there's the click of the lock being undone.
It opens just a little at first, and then wider, accompanied by some shuffling. Apparently he's hiding behind the door as it opens.]
Hello, who's there? You can come in.
Re: action
[which sounds better than showing up for apples.]
action
[He supposes it's polite to step into Joe's line of sight, and so... he does, a little hesitantly, with his hands folded delicately behind his back. He's very small, and a little bit disheveled, with his face gone somewhat thin from his time here. His blindfold is perfectly in place, however.
Although he's facing Joe properly now, his face is tilted away to the left some, a precautionary method he's grown very fond of in this place. He doesn't want to catch anyone in his line of 'sight' for too long, in case his blindfold slips.]
Thanks for coming. I hope you made it okay.
Re: action
His eyes rest curiously on the blindfold- something Riku's worn before, and how he still even prefers to go out among the darkness, sometimes, both to hide his eyes from the dark and to be sure it is the light in his heart that's guiding him.
Joe's never held to any of that; He thinks it's pretty cowardly not to face your own darkness. But for Emil? He doesn't ask why he's got his eyes covered up, but he doesn't assume it's not blindness either, not right away.]
It's been a long time since I've been in these crummy apartments- since Himawari's Christmas party last year, or-
No. Since they found these snowglobes on the diamond, earlier this year.
...are you okay?

[He laughs harshly, sliding a little awkwardly into the apartment. The plastic bag rustles at his side, and he pulls off his Portside Puckaneers hat.]
So is the microwave even working?
