[Action] OPEN

[blessed_by_the_world]

Who: Akane Awakusu and OPEN
Where: All around the Virgo district
Summary: Akane is looking for a job.
Warnings: None


[Now that she's been here a few days, gotten settled, and started school, Akane is ready to take on yet another aspect of grown up life. Getting her first afterschool job.

Because, as it turns out, living on you own with just the government stipend is a little difficult. Especially if you don't really know how to cook and have to eat out all the time. And if you weren't lucky enough to have your clothing follow you here.  It's okay though. She remains undaunted. Because in this world she has a chance to really help people out. And to live on clean, honest money.

That said, an honest living is proving to be sort of hard to come by. It might be easier to find a job if she had any experience whatsoever. Or maybe if she was available for more hours.(But school is important too.) Or maybe it would be easier if she wasn't ten. Most people want to hire grown ups. Or at least teenagers. But that's not stopping her.

So those of you who have jobs in the various shops of the Virgo district may notice a little girl walk up to the counter.]

Excuse me, I'm looking for a job. Do you need any extra help here?

[Very mature! Sadly, Femi is more concerned with apparent age than maturity level and it shows in the look she gives the girl.]

Yes, I can understand that but...well, shouldn't you be living with someone? Isn't there anyone to take care of you?

[That said, she's still going through a mental checklist to see if there's anything that the little girl could do around the bakery.]

[Her gaze drops to the floor self-consciously. And her fingers fidget with the hem of her skirt nervously.]

Um, I don't really know anyone here. It's okay though! I can manage on my own...

[justkeeprunning]

[She moved around the counter and offered the girl her hand]

My name is Femi Robinson and I'm willing to give you a job.

But I refuse to hire anyone whose name I don't know.

[It was said with...what she intended to sound like authority, but she didn't do a very good job at it and even smiled at the end.]

[blessed_by_the_world]

[She excitedly steps forward to shake hands.]

I'm Akane! Akane Awakusu. I promise I'll work really hard and thank you so much!

[justkeeprunning]

[She grins.]

It's nice to meet you, Akane, and you're welcome. I can't promise it'll always be exciting, but I'll do my best if you do yours.

Now, do you go to school?

[Because that is very important.]

[blessed_by_the_world]

I will! It's nice to meet you, too.

[She nods happily at the mention of school. She's pretty excited about it. Maybe this time she can make some real friends instead of kids who are only nice to her because they were told to be.]

Yes! I just started the other day, but it's been fun so far.

I'm sorry for the late reply

[justkeeprunning]

[Her excitement brings a smile to Femi's face, the enthusiasm of children was always contagious.]


Good! That does mean you'll have to do your homework, I wouldn't want you to start doing poorly because of this job.

[Listen to her older sister tone. It is serious business.]
