Anybody know of any place hiring masseurs? I'm having no luck whatsoever! All the places I check are either not hiring or want cute girls.
There was one that seemed promising but when the owner saw me he froze up and rejected me on the spot!
I don't get it??? I'm not ugly or anything, at least I hope I'm not. But perhaps beauty standards here are different from back home in 21st century Japan?
Doesn't help that I don't have my credentials on me. Those stayed back home.

Good looks have always gotten people ahead in the cutthroat world of business!!
Especially in situations where you're rubbing naked bodies
no subject
I guess. Maybe ask for a working interview?
[ Look, Leon doesn't know, okay, he's trying here. ]
no subject
uuuuh getting an interview of any kind would require a place to be hiring, which people are not, or hiring 6 foot tall dudes, which the people wanting cute girls are not
You see where I'm stuck here ಥ‿ಥ
no subject
Six feet tall isn't that intimidating, but I get it.
Look, do you have anyone that can maybe ask for you? Like a character reference?
no subject
...I'm afraid I don't think I've gotten that close with anyone yet to rely on someone. No one that knows me well enough to do this for me.
I appreciate you trying to help, but I don't want to keep you with this, since you don't know me well either.
What's your name?
no subject
[ It's the right thing to do, right? And as much as Leon wonders what the hell he's signing up for, he knows it's what Sora probably would have done. And if Sora being... well, Sora can save worlds, Leon can do this.
Er... right? Right! ]
I'm Leon. What do you want to be called?
no subject
Koro just...stares at the screen of his device, a bit surprised. They haven't even exchanged a few words and this guy was already willing to go through all that trouble to help a stranger he doesn't even know the name or face of.
Koro weakly laughs. Humans. Ridiculous creatures. Amazing, sweet, foolish creatures. For a moment, Koro feels a burning sensation in his eyes, but he shakes it off.
He returns to look at the screen again, once again thrown off by another set of words. "Want to be called"? What does he mean by that?]
Koro.
Are you really willing to go out of your way to help a stranger?
no subject
I am.
[ Leon considers things for a second. He supposes it would seem pretty sudden. After all, how many other people are used to this whole "people from different worlds" situation? ]
It's what I do, normally. I was part of a Committee putting my home world back together. Here shouldn't be any different.
[ There, that ought to explain a little better, right? ]
no subject
[Koro has heard of those. Organizations formed for specific situations. A lot of them usually were about helping some sort of cause. Yet another reason he loves humans so much.]
I appreciate it all the same, dear Leon.
[Oops, he didn't mean to put that dear there. Guess he got caught up in his fuzzy feelings.]
your name...you wouldn't happen to know a guy with blond hair? Kinda broody? His hair looks like...a giant piece of popcorn??? But sharp???
no subject
Granted, the second bit there is a little more pressing, making Leon sit up straight. Hold on, is Koro talking about-- oh, lord, Leon is absolutely going to tell Cloud about the popcorn thing. That shit is absolutely hilarious. (What are best friends for, right?) It makes him snort in amusement. ]
Cloud? He's a friend. He mentioned me?
[ Color Leon surprised. ]
no subject
Well more than mention, rather I helped him take back a necklace that was stolen from you apparently. Uh...Gravy???
anyway he has it. Sounded like it's important to you.
no subject
My necklace? You mean Griever? Thanks, I'll ask him about it, but nothing was stolen from me.
[ ????? ]
no subject
Well then your friend lied to me and I helped him steal a necklace from some poor shopkeep trying to feed his family.
Whatever. What's done is done. Up to you two to figure all that out ಠ_ಠ
So, shall we start heading out?
1/2
no subject
[ Wait hold up-- ]
Heading out? [ As in, right now? Uh-- wait, hold on, he didn't plan for this fuck fuck fuck ]
no subject
But if you're not ready to go out and about, then how about we just get acquainted for now? Break the ice?
no subject
I didn't mean that we couldn't go places, I just wasn't expecting it right this second.
[ Shit, that probably sounds way too formal. Okay. UUUHHHHH ]
I'm out of my element.
[ Nailed it? ]
no subject
I was out of my element when I was brought here. I had a social network and planned out life and everything, was thrown in for a loop into a whole new world with nothing but the clothes on my back.
I figured after a long day of job hunting I thought it would be nice to have some company. The first thing you do in a new situation like this, first thing to guarantee survival, is make allies.
[And lengthen the menu, but Koro doesn't usually say that part.]
no subject
True. Sounds like you're having it really hard right now.
[ And at the same time it... actually helps Leon breathe a bit. A much needed sense of perspective. Koro's right. They're all out of their elements, and they all should be helping each other out. ]
All right. So, where to?
no subject
it's nice and not horrifying anymore. AAAAAND I got snacks and stuff to feed my guests!
I'm at [REDACTED]!
no subject
Sure. I'll be there.
