[With everything that was going on, Takeru knew that taking some time off was probably a good idea. Give him that focus. He also wondered if he was going to lose way too much money doing this as well. But he was planning on applying for another job at Moonbucks so that was a positive. As much as being a Barista was fun and he was learning a lot, he figured he could enjoy delivering too.

Takeru appears on the feed, rubbing the back of his head with a free hand. It was clear he wasn't his usual chipper self and he had a very good reason for it. As he let out a slight laugh, he moved to lean back, trying to remember why he was doing this exactly.]

Is it okay to take time off work that isn't... City event related? Like a personal matter?

[He wasn't looking at the device at all, his eyes glancing away, looking over to the door of another room.]

I mean I shouldn't because I need to help pay for the apartment and for food and such but... [He paused, letting out a small sigh. he knew he didn't want to get too deep into the reasons why, so he was going to avoid giving anything away.]

It's really important that I can take that time off without getting fired. I know you don't get fired if you're affected by whatever is going on in the world I might add... But this is a different matter. [he was still leaning back in his sea, once again rubbing the back his head. After a moment he was finally looking directly at the device.]

So if anyone knows if that is the case in that area, I would be grateful and honestly relieved. [He was going to put on the smile for the moment. He was going to at least attempt to be hisself for a moment.]

On a positive note, I did quit my cashier job at the grocery store and thinking about maybe sticking to the coffee place. So come to Moonbucks for some great coffee.

I'm in middle school but I think it depends on your boss. My Nana doesn't allow people to not show up to work ever. That's how she rolls. So you should ask your boss.

I might have to. I mean I haven't gone to work except once, but I was kind of a different person at the time and didn't really care.

And they didn't fire me then. So who knows.

Well, if they don't give you the time off, you could lie and say you're sick. That works every time.

[Video]

[hopeschild]

But what if that doesn't work. Or if they still want me to come in even when sick?

You tell them you're leaking snot and coughing up phlegm. And tell them you don't want to get it in anyone's coffee.

It depends on your boss.

I would accommodate my employees, with the option of using paid time off for if they want.

My brother took time off for personal reasons when he worked at the Bright Sky Diner.

[hopeschild]

Then I should check with my boss?

Makes sense, I guess. [Plus his boss would probably have some idea as to why because the person he needs to take the time off for was once in his place of work.]

Yes

I will do that, thank you.

I'm sorry to hear you're having a hard time but, uh... What do you mean by "city event related?" Is that something I should know about?

Sometimes it seems this world has some random stuff happen. Last time people started to act weird, myself included.

[stillsmiling]

That sounds really bad! Was everyone okay? How do we not get caught up in it?

[hopeschild]

I can't say because it's a lot of people. Also it's random so no way of avoiding it without being lucky.

[stillsmiling]

Luck, huh...?

Thanks for telling me. I guess I need to stay on my toes, then. Is it a dangerous weird?

[gastronomics]

Nope! You're fired! There's no such thing as vacation or days off! To the gallows with you!

[ She is joking, if it wasn't obvious. ]

[hopeschild]

I really liked that job.

[He was acting right now, giving off a small pout for a moment. But it isn't long before he is laughing slightly.]

I don't think it would need to be that extreme though. Shouldn't the dungeon be enough?

[gastronomics]

Then you should've been more dedicated! 100 hours a week! You don't need to do anything else!

[ She breaks into a little smirk though. ]

Maybe the stocks?

video;

[hopeschild]

That's a lot of hours for part-time.

[He paused to think about it.]

So long as nothing embarrassing happens, it should be okay.

[gastronomics]

That's part of a week, after all~

[ She's just being silly. ] I'll bring plenty of tomatoes!

[reluctantjinrou]

I imagine in most worlds it's illegal for you not to have time off so I don't know why they wouldn't allow it here.

[He's just staring impassively.]

Video

[hopeschild]

That's good to know. I will remember that for the next time.

Video

[reluctantjinrou]

It would be wise to know an assert your rights so that you aren't taken advantage of.

[He wanted to be a lawyer.]

Video

[hopeschild]

I know to not be a pushover. If that is what you mean.

Video

[reluctantjinrou]

It is. I am glad you are not. It's important when dealing with a job sometimes.
