Hey, everybody! Wow, this forum thing is really neat. I wish we'd had something like this back home, it would've made keeping in touch with people a lot easier. It's pretty fun to look through and see all the questions people are asking, and read what everyone has to say! It seems like that's what this is for, right? Asking questions?

Actually, I was hoping I could ask a couple, too. One of them is, for people who have jobs, are your jobs enough to keep you sustained just from the Demichroma you earn, or do you have to accumulate Chroma yourself on the side, too? I don't just mean for splurging at the mall or something — I mean more of, with the moon cycles and all. It feels pretty weird to have to just ask people outright if they'll hold your hand to get some extra Chroma, but I guess around here people don't think that's as bold a thing to do as they would back home.

Anyway, I was a little worried about it, so I thought getting a job would be a good thing to do, but boy! The customers sure are something when there's a moon in the sky!

The other question I had was, I sort of want to go back to school, so I've been thinking of enrolling at the Academy. I'm just wondering if it's hard to balance classes and a job? It's sort of strange to get used to having to sleep again! But I really want to see if there are some opportunities to play music, or maybe do some acting, or dance. I used to know some girls who did ballet and I was always really jealous of how easy they made it look! I wonder if it's too late to learn...

Well, anyway! Those are my questions, and I won't be on break for much longer, so I'll check back when I have the chance. Thanks, everybody!

just some fry cook job at some shitty place

not a lot i can do with my previous experiences

[doreimi]

Nobody's hiring accountants, huh.

Well, it's the same for me, there isn't really a market for the only job I ever had before this, so I'm just waiting tables. That's why I keep disappearing.

[teaserving]

oh yeah definitely no accountant jobs

that sucks at least i don't have to deal with people as much as you do

[doreimi]

Yeah, it's kind of a bummer. :(

I think it's the red moon, personally, everybody seems really on edge and demanding, no matter how nice I try to be. (Also I'm pretty sure one of them tried to smell me.)

[teaserving]

fucking hell you should punch them to get them to back off if they're smelling you??

[doreimi]

I'm pretty sure punching guests is against the mascot's policy.

[teaserving]

fuck the policy

[doreimi]

I'm not PUNCHING people!

[teaserving]

UGH FINE

[doreimi]

It's just this one table anyway and they'll be leaving pretty soon. The kitchen's really slow tonight but at least they've got their food now so I don't have to check on them as much.

[teaserving]

if you say so
i'd offer to come over and deal with them myself but you know. working.

[doreimi]

Are you at work right now?? Wow, I guess we both got the crummy shift. At least we can keep each other company, though?

[teaserving]

yeah
i can multitask and it's pretty dead over here too

[doreimi]

So long as you don't mind me disappearing every so often to check on my tables and not get SMELLED.

But I still don't have it as bad as the guy out front, I think, so I'm looking on the bright side of things.

[teaserving]

guy out front huh
like
a guy in a mascot suit?

[doreimi]

Yeah, it's really bad. And shaped like spaghetti. That's pretty embarrassing, isn't it?

[teaserving]

reimi








do you work at the spaghetti shack

[doreimi]

More like the regretti sh





wait

[teaserving]

hey

[doreimi]

ARE YOU HERE???

[OFF SHE GOES TO THE KITCHEN]

[teaserving]

[Warily, Abbacchio is peering out from the kitchen. He has his hair up and he looks both suspicious and concerned because REIMI YOU DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS HELLHOLE]

[doreimi]

[doreimi]

[In other news, HOLY SHIT she didn't even look in the kitchen, really, she was too focused on the food she was bringing out and being lost in thought over the stupid table she's been serving.]

It is you! Wow, what are the chances?

[teaserving]

[THE FUUUCK]

Really damned low, and yet here we are.

I'm just sorry you're in this dump with me.

[doreimi]

How did you even end up here? I thought you were, you know.

[Wait for it.]

...Italian.
