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.]

Seriously could that name be any less of a subtle rip off of Junes?Yosuke can't help but laugh at how seriously Yu seems to be taking this.]C'mon, man, it's just a grocery store job. I mean, I'm really used to this kind of work, but we don't have to throw every last bit of what we've got into it.
no subject
[...man, that was awkward. Was it him, or did relating to Yosuke seem difficult ever since they came here? He shook his head; he'd think about it later.]
Did they put you in a supervisor's position because of your previous experience?
no subject
No...
[Yosuke sighs and rubs the back of his head in frustration.] They didn't take my word for it that I used to be a supervisor at Junes. Coming from another world, I didn't have any references, so they just hired me on as a normal clerk. Hopefully they'll promote me when they find out I wasn't lying about my level of experience.
no subject
Don't worry. You'll get a promotion quickly, boss.
no subject
I'm the boss, huh? Thanks, partner. [He looks around cautiously, making sure none of the supervisors are going to get on his tail for not working.] Hey, what other jobs did you get besides this one?
no subject
[He cut himself off, doing a quick verbal about face.]
...community service.
[...nice one.]
no subject
no subject
I-it's... ah...
[He paused, eyes widening.]
The manager's coming.
[...turn around, Yosuke. Turn around...!]
no subject
Oh, shit, where?! Quick, look busy!
no subject
no subject
[Yosuke turns around and notices that Yu is..... gone. What the hell?]
no subject
[Yu didn't stop until he was a few aisle over, bending over and grasping his knees. Wow, that had been too close. He was going to have to come up with a cover story to dissuade further questions.]
[...sob, so much for upholding the truth, but there was no way he could tell the others what he did on Saturday nights.]
