[Katsu's voice is soft as it comes across the SFC.]

This place is kind of funny in a lot of ways. It makes you think about things you never thought you'd think about.

[There's a soft 'thump' as he flops down on the bed.]

Mm. Maybe I should get a job or something... I need something to do during the day.

[ctrlaltdemon]

It does, doesn't it? Well, more like I had the time to think about things more thoroughly, but that's almost the same thing now. This place sure is good at giving you time for almost everything you can think of.

[ In the background, the rapid click-clacking of keyboard keys can be heard. ]

Oh yeah, we were talking about that before... At a music shop or bookstore, right?

[ voice ]

[angelphones]

Yeah. There's too much time, though. I don't think I like it.

[He hears that, Atsuro.]

... What are you working on? And yeah... within the next couple days I'll start asking around.

[ voice ]

[ctrlaltdemon]

Haha, can't really argue with that... Even I'm starting to get tired of it, and I'm a guy who really loves the feeling of free time. And as for what I'm doing with all this free time? Glad you asked, Katsu! It's nothing big though, just typing in today's AT-LOW's Fishbowl Observations right now. And backing up some stuff. The usual. And so you're going to start in a few days?

[ His chipper tone then becomes a little more subdued, but it's a minute change. The cheery sound of rapid-fire typing continues on. ]

Yeah, that sounds good. Be sure to get some rest first, okay? 'Cause...well, you look like you've been tired lately. Have you been getting enough sleep?

[ voice ]

[angelphones]

I might have to take a look at those, see what you've been spying on. And yeah, I think I need a few days for myself before I do anything.

[He wants to tell him, but he... it hurts. He can't. Not yet.]

Yeah. I think so. Maybe I'll take a nap or something.

[Video anyway, despite the other using voice]

[dualpinkpistols]

... Well, I can't guarantee pay, but would you like to do something for me now? It's real easy, promise!

[ Maya's Big Sis senses are tingling. ]

[voice foreverrr]

[angelphones]

What kind of thing?

[VIDEO FOREVER THEN :C]

[dualpinkpistols]

Think you could talk to me about what's got you thinking so much? I'd really like to be able to help, if you'll let me.

[ A pause. ]

--Oh! Right. I'm Maya Amano, ace reporter for the editorial division of Kismet publishing's "Coolest"! Nice to meet you!

[angelphones]

[Ah, reporters. He remembers Shouji. But he shakes his head, even if she can't see it on his end.]

Nope, sorry. Personal business. But I'm Katsu Aoki.

[sweeperesque]

A job? What a drag. Should do something fun while you're still young, Katsu!

... But if you so insist, I wouldn't mind it if you worked at a restaurant and got me some take-out now and then~

[angelphones]

I could paint your room in polka-dots or something horrible.

[He snickers.] What kind of food do you like?

[sweeperesque]

Wha-- Hey! Don't take it out on me.

All food~ I'm not picky!

[angelphones]

[He just laughs.]

There's no food you like more than others?

[voice]

[singularjustice]

It does, doesn't it? Maybe that's good, in a way.

What kind of things do you like to do?

[voice]

[angelphones]

Maybe. I like to listen to music, watch old movies, play video games sometimes... I also like exploring.

[voice]

[singularjustice]

I don't know what kind of jobs you could get with those... maybe there are shops that sell those things?

[voice]

[angelphones]

Yeah. I was thinking of either a bookstore or a music store.

[ninthserenade]

They're not always bad thoughts at least, yeah?

voice;

[angelphones]

Not always.

[Just usually, right now.]

Re: voice;

[ninthserenade]

S'good. What're you thinking about?

voice;

[angelphones]

I don't really want to talk about it.

[There's a little bit of a smile to his voice, even if it hurts.]
