[ He just went through one of the worst thrills in his life. Stumbling out of the roller coaster attraction, he received a free hair trim, there's several new cuts (that tv actor/modeling job he'd been given might not work out anymore) on his face, and his clothes are ruined. But, hey!!! The robots gave him a free snow cone as a consolation gift.

Gareki decided that he has had enough of the rides here. The boy will just... rest on a bench, melting snow cone in hand. There's a severe lack of amusement at this park, and it's pretty evident on his beaten up appearance.

So where is the closest medical center here?? He looks like he needs a patch up. ]

Ugh...

[ He's already at the bus stop, anxiously waiting to be taken out of this place. To whoever that may have thought about getting off the bus here, they might want to think again after taking in Gareki's beaten up appearance. In fact, he's not really going to allow it because instead of waiting for passengers to get off first, he'll just... shove his way in first. Rude.

Looking at the transit map, it seems like the next destination is the school here. ]

Ceres Academy...

[ It's the next morning. His body is pretty sore from yesterday's adventure. Gareki decides that he'll visit the school again, but oh no, he's late!!! In the stereotypical fashion, he's got a piece of toast in his mouth as he's running out of the apartments. Since it's only his second day here, he's still getting used to the area as he tries to navigate through the map he was given. He's also looking through his CereVice, trying to get a feel of how the device worked. Just like everything around here, this piece of technology is really advanced. Maybe it's even better than Circus'.

He's scrolling through the job suggestions that he'd been given, trying to wrap his head around the first two. Why were these two given to him? He didn't like the attention. But rather than worry about getting attention, he should be focusing on what or who's ahead of him. He roughly bumps into the person ahead of him and accidentally drops his map and CereVice onto the floor, displaying his job suggestions for the world to see.

Or the person who's in front of him. ]

Gah, my bad...

[ In the end, Gareki decided he'll just skip school today. Thinking back on a conversation he had with a certain someone, Gareki decides he'll really go through with it. He's going to visit the red light district. He'll tell Athena about his escapades later just to see what kind of reaction she'll give him.

Except there's nothing in this district that particularly interests him at the moment. Ah, except for that quaint little bookstore. Considering the place that it's located in, Gareki could guess what they would be selling, but it's better than most of the options here. He'll sneak in for now. Betting on his older appearance, he's sure whoever is working there won't kick him out immediately. ]

[ That's right, he clung onto that piece of touch for dear life in his teeth. It's not going to touch the floor like his map and CereVice. He mutters a quick "thanks" before he realizes that his job suggestions were exposed. Gareki hastily reaches over to grab it back from her. ]

This isn't important.

[ It's not like he got something scandalous, but he doesn't like others peeking at his own things.




It's totally okay if he snoops though, because yeah. Double standards. What's that? ]

[hoasen]

[IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT piece of toast too, he's right.

Before she could even react though, the items were out of her hands.]

Please excuse me for glancing at it. Are you thinking about your work choices? Oh! I don't mean to pry either.

[AND WOW GAREKI? Double standards. Das you.]

[gareki]

It's fine.

[ Since she already saw it, there's nothing left to hide. ]

Yeah, but I haven't really decided on anything yet.

[ Aside from being a student. HE'S LATE! HE'S LATE! This is like a classic shoujo scene. ]

[hoasen]

Ah, I am still sorry. To make up for this, I will tell you what I had: Florist, CYbuddy groomer, and fast food restaurant manager. I chose the first two.

[There, her debt is paid!]

Which are the ones you're leaning towards?

[SHE SURE HOPES HE WON'T BE LATE TOO, GOD.]

[gareki]

So you're assigned to work with those CYbuddy things too? They're just robots so why would-- [ He stops for a moment. The bunnies on first ship required grooming, too. This is something he should be a little used to.

Anyway... ]

I'm pretty good with machines so a repairman wouldn't be too bad for a job, but...

[ He looks at the other two. ]

I might be up for something that's kind of left field for me. If I'm successful, I might get to live a really good life here.

[ Dream big, Gareki, and you will win big. ]

[hoasen]

They're kind of like a pet, no? Some are purchased just for that very reason. So I groom them. But yes, I am assigned to work with them too.

[She tilts her head and taps her chin.]

You have the right idea, because this job as been recommended for you. It means it will still be there should you change your mind. Doing something risky that succeeds will bring you great rewards.

[gareki]

They're as high maintenance as they are expensive.

[ Those CYbuddies are suppose to be a luxury anyway, right?

But her words did help with his decision. Even if he doesn't take the repairman job, he can still fall back on it if his acting and modeling career doesn't take off.

Plus, he's already a student. They give him an allowance just for attending classes so he won't be completely broke. ]

Hmm, I think I'll go through with it. I don't really have anything to lose.
