Part-time job blues.

Someone, anyone, get me away from this monotony. I've been sewing the same kind of basic tee for the past couple of weeks and I'm about ready to stab myself with a needle. Or stab someone else with a needle, whichever works

They say an idle mind is the devil's workshop, I can imagine what boredom could make one do.

If you are thinking of going somewhere for fun, I suggest Paris in the late 17th century? That was its beginning as an center for fashion thanks to Louis XIV. The 1850's marked the beginning of the fashion industry with the invention of the sewing machine so it may be an interesting era for you.

Oh, Paris in the 17th century! That's genius. Is it sad I haven't been there yet? Well... I mean, I only started time jumping recently, but I should've thought of that earlier. I took History of Fashion just a couple of years ago, too. Memory, you have failed me.

Thanks for the suggestion, um...

Versailles would be at it's height and a more popular a tourist attraction than Paris during that era so it's understandable. History of Fashion, I have yet to try reading up on that. That's something to add to my weekend reading list.

Oh I forgot to introduce myself. Yanagi Renji, historical reseacher. Nice to meet you, and you are?

I've been to Versailles. It was so nice. I'd really like to go back sometime.
History of Fashion is great, really! I'm bad with remembering dates and names, though. I think what I really, really retained from uni was all the technical design stuff.

I'm Tachibana An. You probably already know this, but I'm an agent. Nice to meet you, Yanagi-san.

That all you do to break the boredom? You need a life, then. Go party!

[jikancouture]

I like partying, but I don't drink. Bar hopping with friends tends to get sour after a while when you always end up being the designated driver.

[tourtensai]

Guess there goes the idea of loading you up party girl style, huh? Too bad. Might've been fun~

Ahaha, yeah, I think I'll pass. The club scene really isn't my thing.
I'm always up for a cup of coffee or something, though.

There isn't anything else you like to do in your free time?

[jikancouture]

Hey, I like to do plenty of things! Like shopping. And eating out.

I'm just lacking in the job fulfillment department, I guess.

[likesitfast]

Ah that makes more sense.

Well, if you did want to do a time jump let me know and I'll cover it for you. As long as you're on time it doesn't really matter to me.

Thanks, will do! It's not everyday that I don't have a mission I need to attend to, so I probably should take advantage of this down time.
