☆4☆ [Video/Action for Violet City]

["Clef?" Rose the Cleffa tilts her head at the skewer of dango that she's just received from Ryner.]

It's called dango. I'm... not sure if it's good for you, to be honest, but it was there, so I wanted to see if you like it.

[If one reads further, it could be implied that he wants to see if, like with Ferris, buying Rose dango will appease her fury should she ever get all that pissed off at him. ...If one reads even further than that, it could be said that he misses Ferris, but he's not going to admit to that.

He picks up another stick for himself.]
You hold the stick like this, and then you eat one of these. Like this. [And he eats the dango on the end of his stick. He himself has little to no reaction to the taste, but.

Rose looks the dango over again, and then bites into the one closest to the bottom of the stick, because that's the one she can reach. (Also it's a tiny nibble, instead of eating the whole thing, but.) She chews, swallows, and then...

"Cleffaaaa~~ ♥" She seems to be in heaven. If it were possible for there to be happy shoujo bubbles here, there would be.]


Ah, guess you do like it then. [Why is he not surprised. (In fact, it's mildly frightening.) Still, he's glad.] Can't get it too often though. I mean, I don't have much money left as it is, so... Ah, that's right, I'd been meaning to ask about that...

[And here is where he pulls out his Pokégear and turns on the video feed. He and Rose are sitting by the water on the opposite side of the bridge from Sprout Tower, eating dango. (Well, Rose is blissfully savoring hers. He's just holding his for the moment, but that's because he's talking.)]

So, uh... I've seen a bunch of places here in... this is called Violet City, right? Right, so I've seen a bunch of places around here that are hiring people part time, and even though it's a pain, I was wondering...

What kind of job would you suggest for a guy whose best skill is afternoon naps?

[Not that he appreciates them being specifically shoved in his face, but he takes the papers.]

Okay...

[And now he starts filling them out. Only... He's rather slow at it. Please forgive him - he's never had to fill out a job application before and wants to know what he's getting into.]

[Mammon takes a pen of her own and quickly makes a small mark at the bottom of the paper, where the wanted shifts could be selected. She selected morning, 8 AM - 12 PM.]

[A small sound escapes as he sees her do that. That early in the morning?!

"Clef?"

But he sighs and decides not to comment, going back to filling it out (still slowly). After all, Rose would probably protest violently if he did, and we don't need to make a scene here.]

[yaaaay mission accomplished!]

[Do de do, filling out the form. He's getting toward the end by now.]

Is that the same shift you have, then?

[He's just wondering.]

[identity profile] wantnotneed.livejournal.com 2010-11-24 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
I come to work at 7 in the morning, so technically, yes.

[His first thought: 'She's insane to wake up that early every day.'

His second thought: 'So she wants me to work at the same time as her, huh. I wonder why.']


I, uh, guess we'll be working together, then?

action!

[identity profile] wantnotneed.livejournal.com 2010-11-24 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yup! You can help me around with a whole bunch of things!

Can't be much worse than running errands for that work-a-holic king, I guess...

[And he's done.] Right, so, uh, did I do this right?

action!

[identity profile] wantnotneed.livejournal.com 2010-11-24 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
[She takes the form from him and skims over the application.]

Yup! I'd say it's done correctly.

action!

[identity profile] alpha_stigma.livejournal.com 2010-11-25 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Yey, that means he doesn't have to redo it.]

And you have to do this for every job you apply for?

action!

[identity profile] wantnotneed.livejournal.com 2010-11-25 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. I haven't tried every single job.

[identity profile] alpha_stigma.livejournal.com 2010-11-25 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... well, I guess that doesn't really matter right now, does it, then.

[/sigh. It's a pain, but... well, it could be worse. He's had to deal with worse. This is just papers.

"Everything seems to be in order," the NPC says after checking everything.]

Alright then. I'll see you tomorrow, Ryner~ Better not be late to work.

[He'll ask Gail to be his alarm clock.]

See you, then, uh...

[...yeah, this is where he realizes he never caught her name. Obviously she got his from the papers, but...]

...Er, what was your name, again?

[identity profile] wantnotneed.livejournal.com 2010-11-25 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
Mammon of Greed, one of the Seven Stakes of Purgatory.

[...Well, that's certainly an interesting title, but he's not one to comment on that kind of thing.]

Ah, that's a bit of a mouthful, isn't it, uh... mind if I just call you Mammon?

action!

[identity profile] alpha_stigma.livejournal.com 2010-11-25 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
[He figured it would be more polite to ask.]

Ah, all right then. Well, see you tomorrow, Mammon.

action!

Later~ [she gives a small wave and leaves]
