A Week in the Life of a Part Time Job Slave
Who: Yu, and yu, and yu, and especially yu. :D (yes, I'm punning; it's open to everyone)
Where: Virgo, Aquarius, and Taurus Districts; any given week.
Summary: The jobs Yu applied for called back... all of them. He chose two willingly, because how bad could they be? The third... well...
Warnings: ...may be some Nyx in here. :|b
[Yu was always one to work hard if he wanted something. All those books he owns? Yeah, they didn't pay for themselves, you know. And right now he had extra motivation for working hard: Nanako was here, and he needed to look after her and her comfort -- after all, his uncle would probably hang him if he didn't.]
[So when all those jobs called him back at once? He had some things to think about. Accepting the job at Mays wasn't that hard to decide; it was the highest paying one in the long run, and if he was lucky there would be an employee discount. The second choice was a little harder, but ultimately a good idea; working in the kids section of the library would be an easy job, and he could always bring Nanako with him if she wanted to spend time with him. A win-win situation either way.]
[...and then he got that call. Again. He almost rejected it outright, but... well... he really wanted to make sure Nanako wanted for nothing...]
[S I G H; it was going to be his summer vacation all over again.]
[MONDAY-WEDNESDAY; MAYS GROCERY STORE CLERK, 5:00-11:00PM]
[This was probably the lesser of the evils Yu would ever have to do. He was slightly familiar with grocery store work, thanks to Yosuke asking for a favor at Junes every now and then. It wasn't really that bad at all, just... hectic, and some customers were flat out rude.]
[If you want to talk to him, Yu can be found servicing the grocery area; he's responsible for stocking shelves and promoting sale items as needed.]
[THURSDAY-FRIDAY; AQUARIUS DISTRICT LIBRARY, 5:00-9:00PM]
[Yu really did love kids, he really did. After all, when you had someone like Nanako as a cousin, it was hard not to love kids. The hard part was... remembering not all kids are as sweet and innocent as your baby cousin. Especially the little brat that thought it was a good idea to throw half chewed gum in his hair.]
[...he loves kids. He loves kids.]
[Yu can be found in the children's section of the library; he's responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of the area, helping children find books, and making sure the books stay in the proper order.]
[SATURDAY; NYX'S NIGHTCLUB, 10:00PM-4:00AM]
[...your big brother loves you, Nanako. Just remember that.]
[It should go without saying that Yu really didn't want this job. The farther he stayed away from the Taurus district after that first mission, the better. But Nyx was pretty insistent, especially when she started throwing numbers at him. All he had to do was think of how quickly he would be able to get a comfortable apartment for himself and Nanako, and he ended up agreeing... with all the reluctance in the world.]
[He just hoped Nyx remembered her agreement of no pictures. He didn't need pictures of him popping up on the network, where he was pretty sure he'd be recognized, especially by those that had been there that night.]
[Yu can be found on stage, part of a crossdressing act that runs in cycles. When he's not on stage, he's in the dressing room resting and getting ready for the next cycle. Maybe if you're lucky, you'll also be able to catch him sneaking out of or into his apartment with a duffle bag of women's clothes.]

dflasjdf I think I love you. XDDDDD
[For a moment, he thought it was Izanagi making fun of him, until he saw the "floating" eye liner. What...?]
...who's there?
pfft I know I love you, tho. xD <3
It's me, Aqua.
[Remember how she said she was a mage...? Well... maybe sorceress would be a more accurate term, now. Who knows. What is obvious is-]
Want a few pointers?
[Aqua. Are you seriously offering to help a boy with makeup???]
<333
[...]
[Better question, how was he going to keep himself from freaking out over disembodied eyeliner in his face.]
...all right.
[He just... sat down. Because seriously, was he really going to say no?]
aaaand sudden visibility!
She smiles faintly, unseen for a second even as her form flickers in and out of sight in some places.]
Okay, stay still and keep your other eye open.
[Because this is more 'show' while she does it.... and while she doesn't wear it, it's obvious by the pointers she's giving that she knows what she's doing. Pointing out which colors would go great with his eye color and complexion (just use sparingly with some of these hues!) to how she applies it...
Some of this is likely something no man would ever want to know, but with this job... it's kind of important to sell the show.
> You may begin wondering if she knows her vanish spell wore off after she went over the mascara... or if that and these tips were her kind of trolling.]
Yay~
...please don't tell anyone about this.
[He had a feeling she wouldn't, but he needed to say it anyway.]
<333
Don't worry. My lips are sealed.
[> You get the feeling that she normally wouldn't be caught dead in a place like this, either...]
[> Your turn to try with the eyeshadow, too. That's the easy part. : )]
Re: <333
...thanks.
[Okay, his turn to try this. He turned toward the mirror behind him, because there was no way he could do this blind. Okay, it went... like that? With... this?]
no subject
Good job. [Fast learner, yaaaaay] I'd almost say you're a natural.
[...snrk. Oops, there's the trolling. Now we just have to wait for karma to catch up to her, too.]
no subject
[AND THIS TIME SHE IS ACTUALLY THERE, STANDING AND WATCHING WITH A HAND ON HER HIP.
KARMA DELIVERED.]
We need more makeup artists. All you need to do is fill out the paperwork.
no subject
N-Nyx...?!
[When the hell...?!]
no subject
wha-?
[Karma, whhhhy. D:] I-I'll consider it, thank you-
[She is quite reasonably flustered and flailing a little bit... What is having a job that isn't defeating monsters? What is one not actually being malevolent? What has her life become she doesn't even knoooow.]
no subject
Oh. Okay.]
You'll find she can be quite persuasive, so please do consider it. Offers are not handed out lightly here.
no subject
... Okay. She can kind of ship that. It's almost cute. Still, 'not handed out lightly'? What was that supposed to mean? --never mind. She recalled quite well the look Hades gave her all those years ago.]
...I-I said I'd consider--
[Um... Just don't mind her flailing and suddenly being behind Narukami instead of in front of him in the blink of an eye. ...Wait, how is that possible?]
no subject
[...]
[Okay, he can sympathize. It's okay, Aqua; he totally understands.]
You don't have to if you don't want to.
[Soft encouragement for you... but he kind of secretly would love a friend here. Besides, you made him look so pretty.]
