Who: Roxas and Shiro galrarm
When: January 8th
Where: Near Shore
What: Prayer #11


[Roxas was happy Shiro had asked Roxas to help with a prayer. Shiro wasn't even his god, but the small blond already adored him and was excited that he could help the older man out. He even showed up early to the Serapis' temple to pet the cat he named Bacon and to wait for Shiro to be ready.

The details of the prayer left a little to be desired. This was way out of Roxas' element.]

... I don't know how to look for jobs... where do we start?

Comments

[galrarm]

We could start with assessing their abilities and interests.

[ Shiro himself is surprised that Roxas had agreed. He's still a little unsure about the idea of nora, but he'll keep an open mind. Besides, Roxas is a good kid. Earnest and eager, and he already feels a quiet kinship. ]

[missingache]

How do we do that? [All they got was a piece of weird paper with the guys name on it.] What's this resume thing?

[galrarm]

A resume is a record of someone's skills and experience.

[ He takes the paper. ]

Here, we have his previous jobs and what he's capable of doing. Typically, resumes don't list hobbies, but we can guess what he likes to do with the information listed here.

[missingache]

Are hobbies important?

[And what is a hobby...

He stands on his tiptoes to get a better look at the resume.]

It says filing clerk... accountant... actuary... I don't know what any of those things are.

[galrarm]

In order to find a job that'll stick? Incredibly important.

[ He smiles a little and lowers it so Roxas can see better. It's pretty automatic; he's used to shorties. ]

For example, I learned that I like leading people. And I learned that I'm good at piloting, through the training at the Garrison.

[ He pauses. ]

A filing clerk keeps things organized for businesses or organizations. They also do things like copy and retrieve documents. Accountants prepare financial records. And actuaries assess and deal with risk and statistics, to put it simply. So... it seems he's at least good with numbers.

[missingache]

[Thank you, he would have fallen over if he had to keep standing on his toes.]

.... I like cats and helping. I don't know what to do with that.

[Dogs, too. And birds. Animals in general are some of Roxas' favorite things.

He listens and nods. So something with numbers would be good.]

So where do we look for jobs? Is there something around here advertising them?

[galrarm]

Well, as a shinki, you do plenty of helping.

[ He gives Roxas a smile, and then considers his question. ]

There may be some bulletin boards around with listings.

[missingache]

[Shinki are all about helping. Or are supposed to be. Roxas will make damn sure he's the best shinki he can be.]

Okay! So I am looking for..... a board. [Bulletin board sounds vaguely familiar, so off he goes to find one!]

[galrarm]

[ And Shiro follows right alongside him!! ]

Something like... that. [ He gestures to a job listings board. ] This is exactly what we're looking for.

[.................................................

There's a huge problem. A huge, huge problem.]

I can't read any of this.

[Japanese is not his first language, and half of this is in Japanese...]
