[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.

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?

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

Not when I'm working, I don't think. It looks like I have a different place to get smashed at - a friend of mine's really fond of the Lux.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Well, I meant after your shift.

The Lux? I'm really going to have to explore around here more.

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

It's next to building 3, near the Academy. It's a pretty nice place - live music and everything.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Is that so? Well, hey, maybe I'll see you around there someday.

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

Sounds good! Let's make it a promise - celebration of new careers, yeah?

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Sure thing!

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

Which building are you in, anyway?

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Building 8, room 42; I'm staying with my partner and his cactus.

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

..."Partner"? Oh, that detective thing, right?

Ha, and no kidding! Cloud's in building 8, too, so I might see you around regardless!

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Yeah, exactly.

Oh? Is he a friend of yours? I haven't met him yet, but like I said, it's only been a week since I got here.

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

My best, actually. He's kind of quiet, though, so I'm not surprised.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

I'll have to keep an eye out and say hello.

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

Look for a spiky blond head and glowing blue eyes.

And tell him Zack was being friendly to strangers again, so he's not suspicious. It'll make him more annoyed than shy and he'll be easier to talk to.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

...Hah, now that sounds familiar.

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

What, really?

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know someone who's a lot like that. Right down to the hair color.
