Video: Looking for work

[notagiraffe]

Um... hello... [Apart from the lesson from the Kedan on his first day Taiki has never really used his computer. Sometimes he has watched or read posts, but never responded. It feels too much like interrupting.

He's never made one either, but he's been here a month now and he still hasn't managed to get a job. He's a bit worried that people will start getting mad at him for it] Um... I'm Taiki, I live in the Water District and um... I was told I needed to get a job and um... I didn't know who to ask...

[He's ten and his job back home was what he exists to do, so the concept of applying for work is new] Um... I'm not sure what I could do, I can fly really fast, and um... I can read and write and I will work really hard.

Not really... [It's complicated...] Kirin are normally hatched in beast form... but um... I got lost. So I was on another world and um... was brought up human and it wasn't until a few months ago... that I knew I was a kirin.

[And then it had taken him ages to transform because what was instinctive to all other Kirin had been difficult for Taiki]

[wreckingbert]

That sounds like someone I know.

[Someone who is causing a lot of shit for him, actually, but there's no need to talk about that.]

Maybe you could work for a delivery service? Since you can fly and everything.

[notagiraffe]

Really? [Taiki looks cautiously interested] A lot of people said that... I think I could maybe so that...

[wreckingbert]

Flying is a unique skill. You should take advantage of it.

[notagiraffe]

I guess... Not so many people can fly. [He smiled] Reiner said I could help him...

[wreckingbert]

You know Reiner?

[My, my, listen to how Bertolt's voice warms when the kid mentions Reiner!]

[notagiraffe]

Yes! I met him on my first day, he was really nice to me [He notices and smiles] Is he your friend?

[wreckingbert]

He's my best friend.

[And essentially only friend, save Annie, but there's no point in confusing the kid with that.]

I'm not surprised; he's a good person.

[notagiraffe]

Oh... you are his friend... um... the one who likes books... right?

[wreckingbert]

[Reiner has been talking about him to other people? That's sweetly endearing.]

Probably. [Unless Reiner was talking about Armin, of course.] My name is Bertolt.

[notagiraffe]

Bertolt yes... Reiner said he would introduce us...

[wreckingbert]

Did he?

[If the kid comes with Reiner's recommendation, then he's totally okay to Bertolt.]

It's a pleasure to meet you, then.

[notagiraffe]

Yes... um it's nice to meet you too... [He smiles]

[wreckingbert]

Good luck with your job hunt. I hope you find something that works for you.

[A pause.]

If you ever want to come visit Reiner, don't hesitate, okay?

[Reiner needs more friends.]

[notagiraffe]

Okay... as long as you don't mind...

Okay... as long as you don't mind... <small.[The last thing he wants is to annoy people by turning up at their house]</small>

[wreckingbert]

It's fine. Just let one of us know before you show up, please.

[Their third roommate is a little... twitchy. And apt to aim for the groin when she punches.]

oops html fail

[notagiraffe]

I will... thank you
