nei | nintendog

[undermanage]

( from here. )

Ohhh... [ He nods, the lack of astonishment showcasing the familiarity of their conversations; Nei job is regularly requires her to hurry into danger, and despite the desire to nag at times evident Mei does his best to settle. It is normal for teenage girls to go out and start hunting demons and all that. ]

Have you ever done that kind of stuff before? Like the whole haunted house thing... I'm pretty sure we had rumors spreading like that back in my day, but that group just ended up getting caught by our gym teacher.

[ When they come to a red light he begins to draw the sweet bread from it's bag, lips curled into a grin. ]

What did you end up getting for yourself?

thank you for moving us!!

[nintendog]

( it's normal for this teenaged girl to go hunting, of course. there's another, a boy a year younger, but she's obviously waaaaay better.

at the question, she thinks to a ruined, familiar old home for half a beat, then: )

Not really. ( like, first of all, with what friends...... ) It kind of defeats the purpose if someone like me goes to a test of courage, no?

( but eyes are on him now, then the light. you bet your ass she's making sure he's paying attention. he can have that snack. for now. )

I didn't. I only really went there for you. I didn't really want to have anything too heavy before dinner.

For some reason ( 'for some reason'. ) I had this feeling that since you've been freed from your chores, you might start drinking or something. I am not cleaning up after you if you get sick, so I at least wanted you have some kinda food before that.

( because she's kind! and considerate! )

[undermanage]

I think even if you’re not the type to get scared it’s stil fun. [ ALSO… FRIENDS… SOMEONE GET HER FRIENDS SO SHE’S NOT HANGING OUT WITH MIDDLE-AGED MEN. ]

… It is close to dinner time, huh. [ He takes a quick bite and chews, hand on the wheel as the light turns green. Keeping his eyes on the road he swallows the bread before speaking again: ] Haha, I might head out tonight — but maybe I should just relax and drink at home. It won’t be too hard getting back to my apartment, at least.

[ Because the problem isn’t him getting sick. He hardly ever gets sick.

The issue is if he starts wandering around. ]

And I wouldn’t get sick after having a cute girl clean up for me. It’d just make all your hard work go to waste.

[nintendog]

( stop she doesn't want them!!!!!! she's got shit to do!!!! )

To trespass and wander in the dark? I'm good.

( she's not some delinquent, ok. she has established this. she is also kinda lowkey scared of haunted houses funnily enough but she's NOT talking about that. )

I'll lock up behind myself if you decide to head out. I'll probably use the time to write my report while I wait for your laundry anyway. Just don't call me at some crazy hour because you got lost or something.

( she gets so little sleep as it is... finding him to scruff his ass and throw him in a cab is Not part of what she signed up for! )

And! Even if the person who helped you wasn't as cute as me, you shouldn't waste their efforts!

( :/ this is also not the praise she was waiting for but she will take this appeasement for now. )

j3 | indifference

( from here. )

[ yes? he wants to isolate him from showing people drunk text messages? ]

I don't want you saving mine!!
I just want you to show a little respect and not show people something embarrassing!

[indifference]

oh okay

[ simple as that, he gets it, don't worry. ]

should i delete your number, does that help?

[undermanage]

Are you picking the worst choices possible on purpose or do you want to break up?

[indifference]

oh no, if you ever wanted to break up i would let you choose

outplayed | michael kaiser

[undermanage]

( from here. )

Isn't the fact that I'm just your average salaryman enough to make you wanna bawl your eyes out?

[outplayed]

from my perspective, if you can afford three meals a day and a safe place to sleep, then how badly off could you possibly be?
you can make more of an effort to tug at the heartstrings

[undermanage]

I fell asleep in a bush last week.

[ Because he was drunk but details. ]

[outplayed]

keep trying
how many meals have you skipped in the last week

stranglehold | towa

[undermanage]

( from here. )

Yeah.
Just gonna be real quick, promise.

[stranglehold]

shouldn't you take that time to feed yourself?
since you're working long hours and all.

[undermanage]

You think I’m that broke that I can’t afford two bentos?

[ … HE MAY BE RIGHT. ]

[stranglehold]

[ how dare you make him kind of laugh ]

nah, that's not it.
i just think you should take care of yourself first.

jimmy | fixits

[undermanage]

( from here. )

[ There's a pause, because what Jimmy says strikes a bit of bitterness that Mei himself can't seem to properly articulate. He's not wrong, and the mouthwash only brings a brief joy in forgetting their situation.

He wants to drink again.

Maybe he will just take out the trash. ]

At least none of us should be suffering from rancid smelling breath.

Our food supply is looking a little sad, though.

thanks for moving!!

[fixits]

Small victories.

( jimmy, too, might feel some type of way about that had he not deluded himself into believing his own version of the truth. their previous captain, curly, had abandoned them. curly crashed the ship. curly went AWOL.

jimmy's doing his best to keep their crew together.

it's hard, honest work. )

What did we hire you for again?

[undermanage]

To be a pretty face.

But something along the lines of supplies management… not that it’s really necessary, just concerned about one or two things to keep us alive at this point.

[ polle hired opps to make sure they weren’t making too many cakes obviously ]

[fixits]

You've got some competition there.

( no, he will not elaborate. )

Can't think of a better time for 'supplies management' than now. Still, weird expense. Pony Express normally runs these things like skeleton crews, only the bare minimum.

And they hired an inventory analyst?

( ... )

No, yeah, that checks out.

The guy who steps in when someone requests an extra pillow. Thank you for your service.

for nintendog... #cosplay #edging #judyhopps #comship #meinei

[undermanage]

[ So.

He's spent an obnoxious amount of time thinking about the types of clothes Nei wears. Even if he's currently on standby as Riku gets fashioned into another set of high-end clothing to model, he can't help his mind from wandering.

Typically he would busy himself with work on his laptop, but right now curiosity nips at him like a playful cat; coaxing, distracting. Maybe he should have considered drinking a little more last night to keep his head a little foggier - maybe it would help him from imagining Nei posted in front of the camera.

It'd probably help him from succumbing to the idea of texting her in the middle of his shift. But he also assumes that she's busy with work, killing those demon ghosts or whatever she talks about. ]

Have you ever thought about modeling before?

these tags are fucking killing me

[nintendog]

( she is, indeed, working as per usual. like he should be, going by the time she gets the message. the main difference here is that he should be more engaged with doing whatever it is managers do, attending to his people and all. her job as a dispatch sword goes pretty quick in comparison.

he must be overseeing a modeling gig if this is where his mind is.. )

I know I'm pretty and all, but should you be scouting for another talent while working with one?

( which is said only partially in jest since she doubts that's where this is going. wouldn't blame him if it was a thought, though! she does have the tendency to doll up as is. )

Not seriously, to answer your question. Don't really have that kind of time.

( she already blows what little free time she has left being belligerent in his company? can't fit much more than that. )

listen kitten

[undermanage]

She's seasoned and well-behaved, if anything she'd just be upset of how much more work I'd be putting on myself with another talent.

[ Since he does technically have two of them. Help. ]

You're right. You do have a busy hunting schedule going on... how are those little ghosts doing? I think I might have heard something in my walls the other day, but I also might have been drunk.

[ He was most definitely drunk while playing (gags) Apex. ]

I think you'd look cute in cosplay.

if he calls nei kitten i think i blow us both up

[nintendog]

At least one of you is well-behaved.

( two??? who let this man be in charge of anything. )

Work is easy as always. What you've got sounds more like 'mice' than 'ghost', and I'm not the right person to call for that. ( unless he was just drunk, yeah.

in which case she's also the wrong person to call for that. )

And I'd look cute in anything, but I forgive you.

( <- girl who let that comment get to her head anyway....... )

Were you thinking of anything specific? Sounds like you already imagined it.
