[Action] OPEN

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?

[Nik sighs a little, tapping his chin absently.] If you're that sure... Maybe there is something you can help with around here. What's your name?

[blessed_by_the_world]

It's Akane. Akane Awakusu.

[Looking oh-so-hopeful]

[doesasordered]

It's nice to meet you, Akane. My name is Nikolai Volkov. And... [Thinking, thinking.] What would you say to sweeping, or maybe arranging the shelves?

[blessed_by_the_world]

[She nods eagerly.]

I can do that! Thank you, Sir! Thank you so much!

[In her excitement, she jumps up and down, ruining her previous attempts at seeming mature.]

When can I start?

[doesasordered]

Let's give it till next week, so I can get the paperwork sorted. [And figure his way around child labor laws...] I suspect you will be at school during the daytime, so you may work for a few hours before closing.

[blessed_by_the_world]

Next week is fine! And thanks for understanding about school.

[doesasordered]

[He gives her a small smile.] Of course. And welcome aboard.

[blessed_by_the_world]

You won't regret it, Sir! I'll work really hard!
