[ She's gone from angry to trying to keep busy, at least, and Mayuzumi can't be the only one in their household working anyway so this time Emerald's trying to post her resume. Except she doesn't really have one. ]

Who is hiring?

Here are the things I like in a job:
-Customers don't mind if I am snarky or insulting to them
-I'm lowkey annoyed a lot so I have to take Sanguis moon off or I'll kill someone, so a flexible schedule
-Active movement is a plus
-People will be quiet if I have a headache, or in general, but at least when I have a headache

Absolute no's:
-"The customer is always right" attitudes
-I'm not going to pretend to be peppy and cheerful all the time
-Yoga instructor (already tried working on my zen, it didn't take)
-Library (the last one I tried to work in was destroyed on my starting day, I don't think it's meant to be)
-Prostitution
-Volunteer work
-Criminal activity probably

I can do some home cooking (a lot of tofu dishes, spicy foods, and outdoor cooking) and I know how to grow a couple of herb plants but I'm not a professional chef. I can fight. I'm learning to drive. Most of my skills aren't really [ legal/ethical ] marketable so that's my whole resume.

Working for Lunar Scientia as a field researcher would fit most of what you like.



(ooc: Went on hiatus for all of April and didn't have the chance to tag your log, so I thought this might be a good way to have them meet!)

[unhappy]

What do they actually do?

[sheisthewind]

I've been collecting samples out in the wild for them and protecting more senior researchers from this world. Their major research projects seem focused on the effects of chroma on the environment, so far.

[unhappy]

Yeaaah, I'm not risking my life for this planet or its people.

[ She's not a hero. Protecting a bunch of scientists who only care about chroma sounds like a vomit-worthy job to her, especially after when she asked why people disappear from this place it's just that they weren't producing chroma anymore so they got sent home. Emerald has decided she doesn't like Prismals very much. Being useful to them is something she doesn't have much choice in, but she's sure not sticking her neck out for them. ]

[sheisthewind]

Fair enough. It does pay well, but chroma is easy enough to get through physical contact anyway.

[unhappy]

Yeah but I can't just ride my bf all the time I need something else to do.

Just not anything helpful. :)

[machiavel]

Why did you put “probably” under your “absolute” no list?

[unhappy]

I didn't want to make a separate category for "no but I could work around it"

[machiavel]

Have some conviction, Emerald.

Are you really looking for a job?

[unhappy]

Yeah. I may not have to pay rent here but I have stuff that I want.
I'm not making my roommate pay for everything.

[machiavel]

I know someone who might be hiring.

If you've an interest in baked goods, I recently obtained a business license to start a bakery. I could a few extra hands.

[unhappy]

I baked a box mix cake one time and it was dry
Cooking you can fix stuff as you go 😒 baking is a death sentence

[ishgards]

You wouldn't necessarily have to bake, you could work as a cashier. And, you could help taste test new things.

[ He likes being able to eat things, so this feels like a good thing to lead with. ]

[unhappy]

OK taste testing sounds fine but
Is it a conflict of interest if I visit Cafe Azure still?

[ She likes bothering Sandalphon and drinking coffee.. but that he knows her attitude toward customers and still wants her to interact with them is kind of interesting. ]

Is there a uniform?

[satanslash]

im looking for more workers for my teppanyaki grill
doesnt have to be in the food service part either

(not that late, you're fine!)

[unhappy]

Teppanyaki?
What other parts are there?

[ It sounds Japanese but that's one word that hasn't really come up for her while she's trying to learn basic conversation. (Also because no one's taken her to eat some..) ]

[satanslash]

japanese food
noodles and meat or seafood cooked on a flat-top grill

i need a few more people to work the back area though
dishwashers and other maintenance, but there's also a back kitchen that does prep work for the front grills and fills orders for off the grill

[unhappy]

Oh. Japanese food I know how to make sukiyaki and like, a hundred tofu dishes. Oh, and milk tea and like, fried foods.

And kusaya, but I refuse to on principle. Last time I made it I just abandoned my apartment and moved in with my boyfriend because he thought it was super romantic.

I can do prep work.

[satanslash]

sounds like you've already got a good start then

who the hell even tries to make kasuya anymore you'd clear an entire city block if you're not careful can't say i blame you for moving out

You wouldn't have to deal with customers directly at all if you want to work in the cafe's kitchen. I wouldn't characterize the other kitchen staff as being overly cheery, and they are good people to know.

[unhappy]

I can't work for you!
I want to keep coming in there as a customer, if it's work I can't relax. :(

[ She undoubtedly started coming in there to pick up sweets and drinks after her "birthday." If handwaving that is cool with you? ]

[purport]

Is that how it works? I find being here relaxing.

[ He's coffee-obsessed, of course he finds it relaxing. Wave those hands mightily and well, he'd have tried to deliver on that flavor combo she mentioned on her special day by now. ]

There is also a clinic across the street, and a business which accepts varied jobs situated on the floor above mine, if either is relevant to your interests.

[unhappy]

so do I, but that's because I don't have to deal with customers.

Me healing anyone is laughable, and that last one sounds sketchy. Any business model that is just "accepts jobs" is sketchy and usually hiding something or only hires people who were too sketchy for a real job.

[ and she's trying to avoid being sketchy herself!! ]

[purport]

You are most particular.

Still, I've never known Sen to be "sketchy". She's among the kindest people I have met in this place. Are odd jobs not an acceptable line of business?

[ Once he likes someone it's all over... ]
