Summary: Eiji settles in at his new job.
Warnings: N/A

Eiji took a last few swipes with the broom, then looked out of the doorway at the street. "Whew. Just in time!"

Finding somewhere to work part-time really wasn't a problem for someone used to moving from place to place like he was. And weirdly enough, the owner of this bookstore had seemed kind of excited to see him. Something about interdimensional whatsits. If he was expecting Eiji to sprout extra eyes or antennae, though, he was in for some disappointment -- Eiji was 100 percent average human.

...well, he was now, anyway. Auf wiedersehen, Eiji Greeed, and all that.

He flipped the sign on the door from "Closed" to "Open", straightened a poster that loudly declared

COMING SOON (9/15)

and waved to the people walking by. "Hi there! Interested in a flyer with this month's releases?"

"Um..." Eiji wasn't even sure how to answer this question. Was he talking about popular genres? Character types? Plots? What it took to be a bestseller?

"I guess romance or adventure?"

"Romance... and adventure. I see! Then, I will write a guide to using Persona filled with equal parts romance and adventure!" It's sure to be a best seller! It sounded like quite a challenge as well, and surely something to occupy his mind while he's here.

"Thank you very much. I look forward to reading this and the next book, and you should keep an eye open for my first publication."

"I sure will," said Eiji, giving Theodore his best 'say goodbye to the slightly batty customer' wave.

If it sold him some more books, he wouldn't complain.
