[03 || CITY'S MILKSHAKE MAKES ME HAPPY]

[sweetdeath]

Hisoka? Hisoka, the faucet in the sink is running chocolate malt milkshake. Oh, and I found a guy who's looking for waiters for his restaurant.

I-if it weren't that we still have to pay rent I would think I was in Heaven.

The bathroom sink is caramel apple flavor!? Someone pinch me, I've gotta be dreaming.

Not that much longer - just about a week now. Nice to meet another newbie!

[plz-2-b-an-hero.livejournal.com]

And hey, nice to meet one so laid back about the 'curses', right? A girl I met made it sound like they were the bane of everyone's existence, but I just think that what I've seen so far is funny.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Ditto. Maybe they've just been easy on us lately? I'm not looking any gift horses in the mouth, though. I mean, hey. Milkshakes!

[plz-2-b-an-hero.livejournal.com]

The drinking fountains look pretty gross, I'll give it that.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

...And I bet anyone who managed to get mint or green apple flavors was pretty grossed out by the look.

Tastes good, though.

[plz-2-b-an-hero.livejournal.com]

Haha, thanks for the mental image! I might have to find one and people-watch.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Haha, if you get any really great faces you ought to snap a photo or something.

...well, if you have a camera on you. Sadly I don't.

[plz-2-b-an-hero.livejournal.com]

Ah, I don't, either. My handset has a shitty one, but if I'm trying to be inconspicuous that won't really work. Maybe when I finish my own job hunting I'll invest in one.

In any case, I like the way you think, my man.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

You've got a pretty good attitude yourself for someone who just got stuck here.

...and your handset has a camera in it, seriously?! That's got to be a new model.

[plz-2-b-an-hero.livejournal.com]

Well, it was either here or the Lifestream, so I was pretty much stuck in an adjustment period either way.

Not really. It's... what, five years old? Something like that.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

You got a cell phone that takes pictures five years ago? You've got to be from the future. Or something.

...and sorry if it's rude but I don't think I've ever heard of a 'Lifestream' before. What's that?

[plz-2-b-an-hero.livejournal.com]

Probably a different world altogether, considering both of those questions.

It's... the life of the planet? When people aren't living as individual people or things, they live in the Lifestream. A tangible afterlife, I guess.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Different world it is. I definitely would've run across something like that if it existed in my world.

[plz-2-b-an-hero.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. Everyone knows about it, where I come from.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

That, and it'd be relevant to my job!

[plz-2-b-an-hero.livejournal.com]

...You don't seem like the scientist type. Not creepy enough.

Spiritualist?

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

In my experience, scientists aren't that creepy. Unless they're offering cake.

Something like a spiritual detective, actually.

[plz-2-b-an-hero.livejournal.com]

...You obviously don't have my experience.

How does that work?

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

I guess not.

Investigating weird things. ...I wouldn't recommend the job, the pay's lousy and the paperwork excessive.

[plz-2-b-an-hero.livejournal.com]

I'm not one for paperwork, no. I am shameless in my admittance of enjoying grunt work.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Oh really? What did you do for a living?

[plz-2-b-an-hero.livejournal.com]

It's a bit of a mess, but I used to be a high-ranking "SOLDIER" operative. Then some shit happened and I became a fugitive, and Shinra treats their fugitives like in-season game on a firing range, if you get what I mean. That's how I ended up here.

I'm not really looking for the same kind of work now, in any case.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Ouch.

...Yeah, sounds like a career change is in store. So what do you think?

[plz-2-b-an-hero.livejournal.com]

The underground here reminds me of a place at home. I'm thinking about asking around and seeing if any of the clubs need some more security.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Not a bad thought. Wonder if they'd give you an employee's discount on the drinks?
