[This is a fairly new face on the network. A very pretty one. One could be forgiven for mistaking him for a girl before he speaks – and even after that, your milage may vary. He holds the tablet with the awkwardness of someone unfamiliar with this kind of technology, but his smile is perfectly pleasant.]

Hello. For those I haven't had the opportunity to meet yet, my name is Saralegui. I find myself in need of...advice, I suppose. On how I might support myself while here. I don't want to portray myself as completely helpless, but my experience and skillset don't seem very applicable to basic self-sufficiency.

[His smile goes a bit self-deprecating and he shrugs.]

That said, if there's ever a need for a politician, I'd be happy to volunteer.

Maybe, but wouldn't it be more stressful to treat someone with animosity just because they could get a job you want? It's more fun to find a potential co-worker!

[His cheerful voice doesn't even falter for a moment. He's definitely here to make friends, not foes.]

There's places that always need help, it's just a matter of finding somewhere you want to work in!

[enthraller]

Oh, I don't mean to imply any animosity. I just worried it'd be counterproductive.

[At least Saralegui seems just as affable.]

Would such places even want an unskilled worker? That's probably a bigger issue for me than simply finding an employer in need of employees.

[luneminary]

You could start with something simple, like attending the cashier or cleaning!

[The idea of Sara doing janitorial work sounds unfitting, though.]

There's some jobs that help you learn a new skill too, so you can gain something from it other than just money.

[enthraller]

[His smile gets a teensy bit strained. Cashier work doesn't particularly appeal either, but he doesn't want to sound like an entitled brat – even if he kinda is one.]

Oh? What kind of jobs were you thinking of?

[luneminary]

Stuff like taking orders at a fast food restaurant, or being a waiter for a cafe!

[He's using the common part-time jobs in Iwatodai as reference, since he does have some experience with those.]

But I'm not searching for anything in particular, as long as it's something that I would be accepted for.

[enthraller]

[Eugh. Those also sound...unappealing. He can't help it, he's a king, the idea of being on his feet all day serving strangers just clashes with his whole being. But he valiantly maintains his smile.]

You could stand to raise your standards. You'll be easily taken advantage of if you accept just anything.

[luneminary]

But you gotta start from somewhere! Even it's at the very bottom. Who knows what kind of opportunities might come your way!

[Yeah he is the kind of person who can be easily taken advantage of. This hasn't bit him in the ass. Yet.]

[enthraller]

[Saralegui will be keeping that in mind.

He's multitasking here, though, juggling all these conversations at once, and one of them may have borne fruit. He returns to this one with a satisfied smile.]

Well, I might not be starting from the very bottom after all. I've been made a very generous offer.

[luneminary]

[There's a loud gasp from Ryoji's end.]

Already?? Congratulations! What kind of job is it?

[enthraller]

[ ryoji..... ]

Assuming all goes well, I'll be running a restaurant.

[luneminary]

[He's actually happy for you okay!!!]

Whoa, that's pretty big for a first gig! But if you could run a country, I'm sure a restaurant would a piece of cake! I'll make sure to visit, too!

[He's not that desperate to flat out ask for a job opening, but who knows...]

[enthraller]

[Give him at least a week to get settled... He wouldn't want to come across as arrogant or anything, jumping right into hiring new staff.]

I appreciate it. Let's hope the experience really is transferrable.
