[ 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.

Comments

[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.

[purport]

I think you'd find him to be good company.

[unhappy]

Introduce me sometime then.
I can't promise I'll be nice though.

[purport]

I'd be a terrible liar if I said Ayer couldn't fend for himself.

He's young, but he's strong and intelligent.

[ Is he actually proud of that kid? Possibly. ]

[unhappy]

You're really impressed by this guy, huh?

[purport]

He is a member of the Grandcypher's crew, so it isn't surprising that he'd be remarkable in some way.

However, my time here has allowed me to observe his virtues for myself.

[ He could have just said yes... ]

[unhappy]

Is that a gang?

No wonder he gets all "tsundere" when you gush about him like that.

[purport]

I suppose that would be one word for it. The Grandcypher itself is a vessel, and all those aboard are crew.

I take care not to praise him overmuch when he's present. A little, however, is impossible to avoid.

[ He's discovered the joys of teasing fellow tsunderes, can't stop. ]

[unhappy]

So if I read what you said word for word to his face I'll get a good reaction.

[purport]

[ Can she picture him scowling at this unanticipated prospect, because he most certainly is... Why didn't he consider that yes, people can read what he's written? ]

It's possible.

[unhappy]

[ She absolutely can. That's why she told him instead of just doing it. ]

You definitely have to introduce me sometime.

[ She'll do it in front of him, too. ]

[purport]

As I still maintain that you would get along, indeed I should.

[ Even if he and Ayer end up embarrassed as a consequence, Emerald is good people. Ayer would be fortunate to know her.

This, of course, he can't say to her... Tsunderes. ]

[unhappy]

[ Emerald would wonder if that's the first time anyone's ever really thought that about her if she knew. ]

Set up a date sometime then.

[purport]

I'll see what I can do.

[ If only because, well. He likes them both. ]

If nothing else, I can drag him out of the kitchen on your next visit.
