August Jobs!

Greetings, Citizens of Terminal Tokyo! This is your local Trailmon Job Agency doing its monthly rounds! We've a lot of jobs to fill and more people than normal. Hope none o' you youngins were out here for a vacation! Man-- I remember the good old days of running free, yes ma'am. Now my gears are all rustin' and it's a hard to get on chuggin'-- but never you mind all that!

Since there's a lot of new folk around here I best get'ta explaining, yeah? Beginning of the month or so we post a bunch of jobs. We Trailmon spend a while setting 'em all up nice and organized for you lot.

All ya gotta do is sign up to do it. Remember there's limited spaces for each, so don't be riding the slow'mon about it!

[[OOC MECHANICS: This is how it will work (we'll be doing it similar to

gargleblasted). Each number needed will be listed and it's first come first serve. Each character is allowed ONE (1) job, so please don't go signing up for more than that.

To get the job all you have to do is respond! SIGN UPS CAN BE FOUND HERE! Please respond with the CHARACTER JOURNAL of the character you wish to sign up with!

This is where all interactions will be taking place. There is a section for each job, and you will be allowed to set up further things as you like in terms of dates and times and who you will talk to.]]

[Okay, this is Marley getting choked on her drink. She coughs for a bit, her face turning bright red (IT'S THE COUGHING, SHE SWEARS).]

Wh-What? I...uh...This--It's not...

[Oh wow, that really is an orange soda in front of her. She finds this very interesting.]

[Looks at Marley when she coughs] Ignore him, he's having one of his brat moments. Are you okay? Did you drink too fast?

And worrying like that is exactly ehy people would get that impre... [His words fall short when Donnie sends a death glare] Umm... I'll shut up now.

I-I'm okay, just...yeah.

[Marley casts a sidelong glance at Donnie and offers a reassuring smile before taking a more CAREFUL drink...hopefully with less awkward interruptions from Kamemon.]

Um...thanks for letting me sit with you guys.

Hey, it's no problem! It's... nice to have you here. [Kamemon opens his mouth] Say one word, and I won't buy you that new comic book.

[Kamemon sulks and crosses hsi arms, but keeps quiet.]

[Marley glances between Donnie and Kamemon, suddenly nervous. She's about to say something when one of the other workers brings up a plate of chips and artichoke dip, one of the things she added to the order. She smiles at the worker, thanking them quietly, and pushes the food towards Donnie and Kamemon.]

Here, try this. It's pretty good.

[Meanwhile, she'll just go back to her soda, watching the pair for reactions.]

I don't... remembered ordering this.

Who cares? Food! [Digs into it] This is awesome!

Yeah, well save some for the rest of us Kamemon, Honestly, your as bad as Mikey. But I still don't... [Looks at Marley] You added more things to the ticket, didn't you?

[Marley picks up a chip and puts some dip on it. She glances at Donnie, smiling ever so slightly.]

I'm on a lunch break...remember.

[And then she takes a bite of her chip.

In other words, yes. She added stuff to the ticket.]

Try some! It's good!

[Donnie would remember to tell her that she didn't need to dot hat later, for now he'd just go with it. He picked up a chip and dipped it. He tried it.]

Hmm... it's pretty good. Better than worms and algae by a long shot.

...Wait, you eat... Umm, eww!

I was a turtle living in a sewer remember? And this was before we discovered pizza and take-out!

...Your weird.

[That...is definitely not the most appealing thing to hear while eating, but Marley isn't about to say it. Donnie had a point. He was a turtle before.

Still, Marley is just going to slowly nibble at her chip while watching Kamemon and Donnie dig in.]

Umm... Sorry, that may not have been the best thing to say out-loud.

You think?

Yeah, yeah. [Just keeps eating the chips.]

It's okay.

[She offers a reassuring smile as she reaches for another chip to nibble on while waiting for the food.]

You mentioned take-out, though. What's your favorite thing to order?

Oh that's easy, pizza!

Yeah, he has it at least once a week.

Well ti was the first thing that I ever had other than worms and algae. It was the best thing that my brothers and I ever tasted!

I'm going to have to introduce you to some other kinds of take-out. There's all sorts of stuff that's just as good.

[Oh look, here comes their order! Donnie and Kamemon's food is set down first, followed by Marley's (a small salad). Last but not least are two ice cream sundaes, one for each of the boys. Marley thanks the worker who brought the food out, trying so hard not to smile before taking a bite of her salad.]

...How many things did you add to that ticket?

Again, who cares? Food! [Goes back to stuffing his mouth]

I mean it was really nice and I like it, but you didn't have to or anything.

[Okay, now Marley is smiling. No trying to hide it or anything.]

I know I didn't have to, but I wanted to. So don't worry about it. I've already splurged on myself, so now I'm splurging on people I like. [Woah are her cheeks pink.] My friends...

[Hello salad. You are looking mighty delicious today.]

[And now he was absolutely red-faced. He looked at the table.]

Oh, ugh... w-well... th-thanks...

[He tries to ignore his blushing by trying to eat. it wasn't helping much though.]

You're...You're welcome...

[Still rather pink in the face, she focuses on her salad, picking at the parts she likes more first before settling in for the rest of it.]

Again, acting like that is why people will think that-

I guess I'm not getting that comic book, huh?

...Nevermind.

[What's this? A distraction? Marley is going to finish her bite and jump on it!]

What comic?

Some comic book of his with a lot of monsters and zombies and such. It's pretty gory, but it gets him to leave me alone while I'm working.

Not my fault that you can't stomach gore.

Yeah... compared to what Raph reads, what I get you is tame.

They actually sell stuff like that here?

[It's a bit worrisome, but she can't judge Kamemon for it. Everyone has their own opinion, and she's not one to actually judge someone just for that...]

Surprisingly, yes. I don't like them, but it get shim out of my hair, so I get them for him.

Your too much of a wimp to handle it.

[Donnie says nothing, but he does cross his arms and glares at the turtle who just continues to stuff his face.]

[Marley nods as she listens, glancing between both Kamemon and Donnie while poking at the remaining bits of her food.]

Not everyone has the stomach for that sort of thing, but people who do...that's fine, too, you know?

[A small way of trying to get them to stop arguing...well, the sort of arguing the two of them do, anyway.]

It's not that I don't have the stomach for it, it's-! Ugh, nevermind...

[Great, no he sounded like a wuss. Perfect. Thanks a lot Kamemon...]

[Oh no...she said something wrong. She blinks then looks down at the remainder of her food.]

I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean...not like that...
