what do you do for money here?
besides quests.
you like it?

( someone may or may not be realising that she cannot subsist on taking on quests and nothing else, because sometimes none of them sound like your cup of tea. )

I own a karaoke bar and take pictures for Instagram.
Nothing to complain here.

[morns]

( the bar half of that sounds better than the karaoke and influencer stuff. )

isn't running your own business supposed to be annoying?

( full of stupid little forms and shit like that? )

[saxsongs]

Probably back home. Here it's surprisingly simple. Especially when the Traders help you set up everything.

I found a job working in the kitchen at Shining Star. It's steady, and I like cooking. Gives some stability when other things are up in the air.

[morns]

( mm. well that one is firmly out of the question. but just for her own reference; )

what's on the menu?

[feisticuffs]

It's a karaoke bar, so your typical tavern fare, or so I'm told. I'd never had a hamburger before coming here.

[She's a fan, though. They're delicious.]

That's a question I'd like an answer to myself.
Haven't been here long and I'm itching to get out of the inn.

[morns]

did some odd jobs when I first got here. might tide you over.

( but rn she wants something more permanent. )

[gunmettle]

I'm used to living off odd jobs.
If there's enough of a market for it, I don't see why I couldn't start back up here where I left off at home.

You already know.

Why do you ask? Are [--pause, as he goes to look at the quest board.

....Oh..... lmfao]

you not interested in summer hiking trips?

[OR MURDER ROOMS???????]

[morns]

( the murder room was a big part of it. the dark web was so lacklustre this month for her 😑 )

did enough of that recently.

( like... She'll do it if she has no other option but. eh. Maybe it's time she thought about this in a more long term way. )

[groundzeroes]

[You can't burn down a building EVERY month, kate. they'll run out of buildings!]

So a change of pace, then. Well...
I've come across an interesting new opportunity myself, making passive income outside of regular business hours by moving product. If you wanna get in on the ground floor, I can let you in on my recommendation... How about it?

[i'm sorry kate]

On occasion I request monetary assistance from an acquaintance of mine. I am also currently employed in an establishment here known as a host club. It is satisfactory work.

[morns]

( she has never met you, dude, but she's judging. )

the hell is a host club?

un: tartaglia SORRY BUT I HAD TO

[commediadellanime]

Mister Zhongli, you only consider me an acquaintance? That hurts.

[damn_kitsune]

I'm a bartender at an establishment. And recently I've been hired as a model.

[morns]

( ... that's a combination. )

modelling for what?

text, un: tartaglia

[commediadellanime]

I've got a job at that host club alongside Mister Zhongli. It pays alright!

Though I imagine there's a lot of places that need people to work for them, if the quests aren't keeping you busy enough.

[morns]

( sry, she's just gonna need a moment to piece together the cheerful guy who assassinated several people with her with what Zhongli described for hosting.

... is smiling murderer a selling point? )

is it fun?

( is she considering working at a host club? fuck no. but asking about it is easier than examining the way she feels about having so much choice and so little clue what she'd actually be good at outside of battle. )

Cooking at the karaoke place. It was either cooking or hitting shit. [And of the two, he definitely prefers cooking.]

Apparently they pay people to go to school, if that's your thing.

[morns]

( okay, we found the one suggestion worse than cooking itself. not that she blames this dude. he doesn't know her. but she's never been an academic; that was always her brother's thing. )

that's generous of them. wonder how much it is.

( like there's pay you enough to barely scrape by and you actually need to supplement it in other ways and pay you enough to live live. )

I work for Aerith at her flower shop.

[morns]

( hm. probably not going to work for Kate, personally, but it does make her realise just how many jobs around here involve some amount of customer-facing.

ugh. that makes everything so much harder. )

where is it?

( not for work, but... maybe she might want to buy herself a whole bunch of lavender to shove her face in and inhale until all these thoughts go away. )

HMMM well rn i'm mostly doing YT stuff and making videos and that's going pretty good but i also do some stuff at naoto's place! just general helping around and waitressing stuff and w/e else they need doing.

i like em both! the YT stuff is more fun bc i get to actually do music and dancing and just the kind of stuff i'd be doing for work back home and it's kind of nice getting back into the swing of things? i was soooooooooooo worried i'd be like out of practice when we got sent back home so this is a good way to stay warmed up i guess!

[morns]

you're a musician back home?

( that makes sense, given the poster she was roped into helping on a couple months ago, but it's still interesting to know for sure. )
