[ After the murmurs of job opportunities began to mix through the idle chit chat of the refugees, Ann wanted to get a few questions out to the people who may or may not have already started work. ]

Soooo... this whole jobs thing...
It's not as easy as it seems, right? I know we're suppose to work our asses off to make sure they keep the people in Thesa safe, but — has anyone had experience working with something like... that? Guards, scholars, and uh... adult workers.... It all sounds like some weird characters from a fantasy novel or something. Cliche, but given the past few weeks? Totally legit.

I guess I'm wanting to ask: how are you knowing you're a good "fit" for one of these jobs? Back home, I was...

[ She wants to say model, but she doesn't really give the deets too much. ]

Let's just say the closest I got to any of these kind of jobs were reading Shakespeare in school.

If you know of any normal jobs or have any pointers on talking with the recruiters, let me know!!! My skills include fashion, picking good places to eat, and persevering through unlikely circumstances! o(^▽^)o

[Someone else who uses kaomoji. You're her new favorite person.] I dont think Im a good fit for any of them, really... but there are other options! like theres a tailor shop in the market Im thinking about applying there! I really like clothes and costumes and stuff and Im pretty good at sewing too! if you like fashion you should look there with me! c(＞ω＜)ゞ

[burglarize]

[ Poses like Will Smith at kaomoji. They're great. ]

Oh man, that sounds awesome! I'll definitely tag along to see. This place could use some better materials... it's all crushed velvet and chainmail. WTF?

[ayes]

idk I could work with the velvet you can do some cute things w it but the armor...... Ive never designed costumes like that before! I mean theres gotta be a local textiles industry thats making stuff like cotton or linen or wool or something?? its not just a place for guards and soldiers right Im You! You Watanabe! whats your name?

[burglarize]

There's too many civilians — maybe cloth merchants or something. I saw a huge market near where I'm staying, soooo...maybe we can start there.

Hey, nice to meet you.. ....You! I'm Ann Takamaki. c(^ω^)/)

[ayes]

yeah thats a good idea! what house are you in? Im in 15 also I had a feeling you were Japanese too! I havent seen anyone else use kaomoji yet you are right from Japan on Earth I mean!!

[burglarize]

Hey, that's close by! I'm in 14 with a friend from my uh... world. And some weird adults.

WAIT
WHOA.

Really?! Same here! Have you heard of Shujin Academy?

[ayes]

oh hey were neighbors! thats really neat! Ive never heard of that school, sorry! what city is it in? youve probably never heard of mine either tho were out in the sticks haha

[burglarize]

Tokyo! ...Huh. I mean... I guess we're close to the same world, but not close enough.

[ UGH. ]

[ayes]

uhhhh I dont think Im following you Σ(￣。￣ﾉ)
there are hundreds and hundreds of schools in tokyo right? Ive probably only heard of like three or four of them!
is it a really famous school?

I live near numazu in shizuoka! like I said its out in the sticks
but were not that far from tokyo, just like an hour and a half on the train
Ive been a few times

[burglarize]

...You'd have heard about it... it was on the news for some messed up stuff.

[ Especially with Shiho and — ]

Hey! I think I may have? I try and stick to the big cities with the big buffets and stores.

[ayes]

oh jeez Im sorry [You's imagination is certainly filling in the blanks for "messed up stuff," that's for sure.] if it helps I dont watch a lot of the news sooo I probably wouldnt have seen anything about it anyway tbh but big cities are fun! my friends and I went to tokyo to perform and it was really cool but a little overwhelming haha oh! I know how to figure out if its the same Japan do you know Love Live??? it's HUGE back where Im from... thats what we went to tokyo for!

[burglarize]

Hey, it's fine. It's not like you knew. things kind of worked out. Just wish it didn't happen.

Anyways.

Love Live...? Is that a video game or something?

[ayes]

ahhh if you dont know it then were DEFINITELY from different japans Love Live is a big competition!! for school idol groups thousands and thousands of schools enter it to try and win its gotten really huge over the past few years especially my friends and I are in the school idol club and we made it to a performance in tokyo! thats so weird that there arent just different worlds but like different versions of a world

[burglarize]

Holy shit, that sounds amazing!

[ayes]

yeah it was a lot of fun! my friend chika started our group and it was originally just us + our friend riko but now theres 9 of us its a lot of work but I have a ton of fun doing it! I make all our outfits and everything and riko writes all the music and chika does the lyrics and our senpai kanan comes up with the choreography suuuuper fun (〃＾▽＾〃) so school idols arent a thing in your japan?

[burglarize]

9?!?!?! That's so many...!

We have a few — Rise Kujikawa is pretty popular! The girl idols are kinda up and coming. They always get more hits online than models but... school idols? Never heard of it!

[ayes]

aww thats too bad that theyre not a thing where you come from Ive never heard of Rise Kujikawa either (｡•́︿•̀｡) haha maybe 9 was a lot but it doesnt feel like that many of us when were all working together and I think we all kinda have our different charm points you know?? LOL
