Who: Pharos and you!
When: December 18th.
Where: Apartments; shopping district.
What: Pharos was offered three jobs. Why not try them all out in a single day?
Warnings: None.
[Hello citizens of Cerealia! It's a beautiful day for weird encounters, wouldn't you say? What kind of weird encounters you may wonder. Overly large and affectionate demons? A three-headed dog with loads of slobber? The zombie apocalypse? Skeleton Wars: The Phantom Menace?
Sadly, no.
What you may or may not stumble upon is a certain, pajama clad boy trying out each of the jobs he was offered upon his arrival. Wouldn't really want to commit to something without knowing what it entails.]
morning
[There is nothing quite like reading the newspaper in the morning, right? A cup of coffee or tea or whichever beverage you prefer with the news of the hour spread out in front of you, there really is nothing comparable. Or maybe you prefer to sleep in because your day ended at four in the morning and you're in dire need of sleep? Perhaps not a morning person?
Either way, Pharos has instructions to drop off the holo-newspaper without fail. No one would want a newspaper boy who doesn't know how to bring people their reading material in the mornings, right? So he'll do the polite thing and ring the doorbell at whichever o'clock in the morning to deliver it safe and sound.
Nevermind the fact that he's supposed to do this quietly.
If you happen to be up and about and open the door, you will find Pharos standing on your doormat. Smiling up at you. And greeting you with a 'Good morning', chipper as can be.
If you happen to still be asleep and don't hear or wake up and decide to ignore the ringing, there will be silence for a few seconds. Then you'll get a lapful of holo-newspaper courtesy to the young boy now standing in whichever room you're in.
Teleportation skills and no sense of personal space come in handy sometimes.]
lunch
[Tired from your morning filled with exploring/sparring/tricking people/being tricked by people/work?
Pharos will be standing outside of a coffee shop, holding a tray with a handful of small cups and a thermos bottle filled with what appears to be coffee. Hot coffee. Coffee which smells utterly delicious. The aroma calls to you, sings to you. The coffee really is that good. Maybe it is actually ambrosia. You won't know until you try it.
Dressed somewhat like the Cheshire cat, Pharos will taking his job as mascot very seriously and will be offering poor, weary wayward travelers some coffee as well as a cheerful looking balloon which may or may not pass as coffee bean if you squint hard enough.
And cock your head to the side.]
afternoon
[The lights have grown dimmer as the hours have ticked by, soft and orange and yellow. While some of the shops begin to close, one door-sign is finally flipped from Closed to Open. The sign in front of the door reads 'The Wheel of Fortune – Get your prediction while it's still accurate!' Should you decide to enter, you'll find a single table manned by Pharos, kicking his legs and his chin propped up on his hands.
Clearly, he's been waiting for someone to come in so he can read them their fortune.
Perhaps your character is just settling down, maybe they've already received their fortune and are bemused by it. What kind of prediction is 'Your shoes will make you happy today' anyway? Perhaps you've asked for something more elaborate than a short prediction and are now wondering why in the world the kid is pulling out tarot cards. Aren't those a little outdated?
Careful though, some predictions may hit very close to home...]
evening – bonus
[Maybe you've encountered Pharos during all three scenarios and are wondering whether or not the kid is stalking you. Or if he has two identical brothers and this is just a group of triplets.
Or create your own scenario.]
(note: For the fortune telling, your character will probably get fortune cookie predictions or, if they get a tarot reading, one I'll generate online. I'll be sure to pm you first to ask for permission if I end up using canon information though the wording of the canon prediction would be pretty vague.)

no subject
[Honestly, he's surprised, but it looks like they didn't care.]
I mean, you are getting paid, right?
no subject
Yosuke's question makes Pharos giggle. Technically, he doesn't really need the money. He doesn't need food and the tiny apartment he's living in doesn't have much to offer and Pharos could live without it.
But he wanted to try it out, being more human.]
Isn't everyong getting paid one way or another?
no subject
[He guesses. If Pharos opted out and he's making enough money to support himself, as messed up as it is for him to have to have a job and as much as Yosuke thinks he should be in school instead. He's almost jealous, he had to go to school and this kid doesn't...but working sucks too.]
no subject
you young people and your slang wordsThough the thought of Pharos working and not attending school seems to trouble Yosuke.]
...Is something the matter?
no subject
no subject
While school was up for consideration, I thought it would be more fun to work. [School feels... Too human. And that's where the problem lies anyway. He wants to know what humans enjoy and live like. The desire to be closer to them is clearly evident.
But...]
I was able to meet quite a few interesting people. And I wouldn't have encountered you again if I had attended to school, right?
no subject
No, I guess not... [Not sure if that's a good thing though.]
Well, I guess we should do the tarot reading since that's what I came here for. You still cool for that?
no subject
Of course. It's what I am here for.
[The deck of cards is nudged towards Yosuke rather cheerfully.]
Please mix them with your left hand and think about what you want to ask. Then gather them in a pile and we can begin.
no subject
He briefly wonders if Yu would ever show up here, in Cerealia. It reminds him of what was lost, and tries to shake that bad feeling off. He can't think like that now, he has to focus what's in front of him.
But he wonders. Will Yu arrive here one day? That will be his question, he thinks.]
Alright. [He slides the cards back into a pile and gives them to Pharos.]
Let's see what they have to say!
sorry, dw ate my notifs. :c
Pharos takes the cards handed to him, letting a hand hover over them for a few heartbeats as he looks at them, gaze intense. Which spread should he use for this? Will the past influence the future for this question?
No.
Smiling, Pharos removes the three topmost cards and puts them down in front of Yosuke.]
The past, the present, the future.
[And when Pharos flips over the first card, what he sees makes a soft chuckle slip past his lips.]
The Magician. The beginning of a journey, the determination and the naivety to see everything through to the end. ...The beginning of a relationship, a strong bond. I wonder...
[Idly, Pharos kicks his legs as he turns the second card over. What he sees makes him hum. Somehow, he expected it to be the Chariot.]
Success, willpower, triumph. An ordeal you are overcoming or already have overcome. It seems whatever you started your journey for has managed to be reached. For now. [Pharos tone sounds questioning, eyes meeting Yosuke's for a second.] Did you do so on your own?
don't sweat it
T-That's kinda freaky. [Though, he shouldn't be surprised. It's not like these cards haven't played a major role before and he knew it.]
I...well...
No, I didn't. [He admits to it.] We couldn't of gotten through it without each other.
