[ 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.

Maybe but at least I'm not going to be miserable because people suck.

People who are kind all the time are usually hiding something, too. But odd jobs is basically like "I'm not actually skilled at anything so you can come in and get someone who can barely do everything." or they just need a job description that covers up illegal activity.

[purport]

Hopefully you'll find something that meets your requirements.

[ Really, he doesn't have much more to offer on that. He is, after all, someone with a very particular set of skills and an even more particular interest in how he uses them. ]

I doubt either is true of Sen, and I've known her since all this nonsense with getting drawn to this place began. However, it seems to me you may have something specific in mind.

[unhappy]

Thanks. Don't worry, you'll still see me all the time.
We should do something outside of your work too. Idk what kind of stuff you like besides pastries and coffee.

Not really.. I'm just not interested in signing up for another "I'll do anything you say" job.

[ She's already signed her life away on one of those back home. She has her second chance here, or at least she's trying to. ]

[purport]

So that is to say you've had the experience before.

[ He's not even asking for confirmation; her wording makes it clear. ]

I suppose I don't have much by way of hobbies. I work on my coffee technique and cultivate plants, mostly. What do you enjoy doing?

[unhappy]

Fighting, growing little kitchen herbs in the window sill, collecting pillows, learning to cook new things, and walking around town and people watching (then complaining about the people bc they're usually dumb)... I like grocery shopping but only with other people.

[purport]

Those all sound like fine choices.

I don't understand the complaint part, but the rest seems pleasant enough.

[unhappy]

[ why does no one understand her need to gossip and bitch about people she decides she doesn't like u_u ]

If you see any cool-looking pillows let me know btw
I spilled coffee on two of my throw pillows and need some new ones

[ No she doesn't, she needs to stop collecting pillows before she kicks her boyfriend out of bed... ]

[purport]

[ Alas, he doesn't realize that he absolutely does this. Belial is filth, so on and so forth.

He just thinks he's stating the facts... ]

I don't know what "btw" signifies, however... What colors do you find favorable? I would not mind looking.

[unhappy]

btw=by the way
I like a lot of them. Uh.. natural colors are probably better though?
Chihiro likes those 2D girl pillows, too.
I don't really care as long as they're comfy.

[purport]

Is there a reason to avoid using the words themselves?

I don't know what "2D girl pillows" are, but I assume a pillow wouldn't be very comfortable if it were flat...

I shall make comfort the priority, then.

[unhappy]

because when people know what they mean I can lazy type :)

The pillows are 3D, with like cartoon girls with big boobs hidden behind maid outfits and other frilly stuff.

Thanks!

[purport]

So I have the opposite effect, I take it.

[ Ultimately causing her to type more. ]

I see. I had thought that people bought plastic figures of that sort.

[unhappy]

Looks like it.

He has those too.

[purport]

I see. Perhaps some of them match in some manner.

[unhappy]

Yeah, there are one or two of them I noticed he likes more than others.
He's really into uhhh
"Tsundere" types I think is what it's called?

[purport]

Someone explained that personality type to me once.

[ Easy to remember because it's him, he's the thing. ]

[unhappy]

I don't really get the appeal.
If someone thought I was being cute when I was angry I'd kick them and see how cute they thought it was then.

[ ...Emerald, your boyfriend is at least partial tsundere, what are you talking about?

Then again, she would definitely smack him on the arm for being mean with her. She likes it when he's mean to other people. ]

[purport]

I suppose the point is knowing how they truly feel under the front they present. At least, I find this is so with some of my friends.

[ He had no idea why people liked to tease him so much until he gained or noticed friends having this same tendency. It all makes sense now, strange as it is. ]

[unhappy]

Don't tell me you're into tsunderes too?

[ Wowie. Well, in a friendship kind of way anyway. ]

[purport]

It's difficult not to tease them.

[ The savage truth. ]

[unhappy]

I like teasing people who can give as good as they get personally

[purport]

I find them more than capable.

Provided they aren't flustered, at any rate.

[unhappy]

Sounds like I need to get to know some of these people.

[purport]

In that case, you acquainted with Ayer?

[unhappy]

Nope.
