Cancer

- Your next Career: Unknown Graphic Novelist
- You're not the only one who thinks you're inadequate.
- Your paranoia is justified.
- It's as bad as you think.

[Anise blinks, startled, then promptly starts to tremble. Oh sweet Lorelei, this is probably some scheme by someone trying to kill her, right?]

All Days

[There's a new booth in the plaza! Too bad it looks very small and poorly maintained, as if the owner is ashamed of it. Anise will be sitting there for most of the afternoon, trying to get you to take a look at the fabulous comics she had drawn.]

[However, should you come closer to take a peek at her works of art, she'll immediately jump and get a deer-in-headlights look. fsudhfsdf leave her alone she's just a poor unknown graphic novelist she hasn't done any harm don't kill her please...!!!]

[cookingshinji]

[These comics really are fabulous... Looking down at the large file he's been carrying around, Shinji takes out his own work and compares it with Anise's. It's such great work too... But it's a shame no one seems to know about either of them. It's been... How many days now since he took up this career? He can't remember, or rather he can't count how many days it's been.

Such is the life on an unknown graphic novelist who can't count.]

[pigtailed_loli]

[E-eeeeeeeeeek! Who's this guy?! And why is he taking out comics too? Oh man oh man he's trying to step down on her, right? She pouts, starting to tear up.]

You don't have to rub it in! I know my stuff looks awful!

[cookingshinji]

Awful? The hell are you talkin' about?

[Putting her comic back and carelessly shoving his own back into the file, or rather his portfolio. You never know if there might be someone around he can throw his work at to see how good it is.]

It's my work that looks awful, don't go dragging yourself down like that.

[pigtailed_loli]

H-huh? You like it? This is just all some trick, isn't it? [She starts sniffling.]

[cookingshinji]

Yeah, 'course I like it. Better than most of the shit I've done.

[Aw hell no, stop that sniffing right now.] It's not a trick, why would I be trying to trick you anyway?

[pigtailed_loli]

Because everyone's out to get me!

[cookingshinji]

[What? ...Just staring for a moment.]

Right. [Typical, he ends up talking to a crazy person.] Well that 'everyone' doesn't include me. I'm not out to get you or anythin' like that. I was lookin' at your work, that's all.

[pigtailed_loli]

[She's normally much saner. Really. Would such a cute loli be craycray?]

Oh...okay! [Pause pause pause while she tries to muster up some courage. Sob it shouldn't be so hard to ask.] Can I take a look at yours?

[cookingshinji]

[The cuter they are the crazier they always seem to be!

Looking down at his folder... Before slowly bring it up to rest on her little makeshift booth.] If you like, nothin' work looking at in there though. It's mostly a work in progress...

[The drawings in there seem to be of a shounen style graphic novel, centered around 'Sinjiro' and his sidekick 'Lackeyhiko' fighting the evil forces of 'Stuprega'... The names are wonderful and are his pride and joy okay.]

[pigtailed_loli]

[She gingerly takes the pages. He didn't coat the pages with poison, right? Well, even if he had, she was wearing gloves! That makes everything fine, right?]

Whoa, you're pretty good at drawing action! I wish I could do that!

[cookingshinji]

[Nope, he did not... Was he meant to? Ugh he's such an amateur at this novel business. Do all the pros coat their pages with poison?]

Heh, really? [SOMEONE PRAISING HIS WORK?!-- Cough cough, ahem.] 'M sure you could, with a little practice. Not that you need any with stuff like that. [Nodding his head towards her work.]

[pigtailed_loli]

[Well, they have to stop thieves somehow.]

Awww, you're a pretty sweet guy, aren't you! [She was suddenly struck by a thought. But the question was: could she? This is kind of a big thing to ask...And he's probably just being so nice because he pities her, right? She takes a deep breath and decides to try anyway.] So, I was thinking, since you're so good at drawing action and I'm...[a failure] not, how about we work together?

Day 2?

[fonon_professor]

[And here we have one Gelda Nebilim, wearing a thick fluffy coat that seems to be... squeaking? Something's certainly squirming around in the pockets, but Gelda doesn't seem to notice. Either that, or she's firmly ignoring it.

When she sees Anise's booth, she approaches it with a smile.]

Good afternoon, Anise. What's all this?

Sure!

[pigtailed_loli]

[dsuhfsdf her coat is squeaking is there a fonon bomb or something hidden in there?! Anise tries to smile.]

I started drawing comics! Here, you can take a look! If you promise not to kill me. [The last bit is said in a quiet, nervous mutter.]

[fonon_professor]

[Gelda gives a soft chuckle at that last bit.] Now, why would I want to do that?

[And she'll pick up some of Anise's work to examine it more closely. It's not that bad, really. She nods faintly as she reads the captions.]
