[ Video - as Adrien Agreste ]

[ The video flickers a bit before it focuses on a young-looking boy. There's nothing about him that particularly stands out among the rest of Genessia's residents. He runs a hand through his hair before speaking, quiet and unsure. ]

Sooo . . . I have to have a job? Which would be all right except I don't think my father is here to help me do my modeling work. Annnd I really don't want to model. Does anyone have any suggestions for someone at the age of fourteen?

Something not creepy would be nice. I know my rights.

[ Action - as Cat Noir ]



[ Genessia probably has a lot of heroes, costumed or otherwise running around. Cat Noir finds himself a quiet rooftop to survey the city, moving from one place to another. Everything seems peaceful for the most part, he thinks to himself. It was a little strange to be working without Ladybug nearby. Who could he count for backup?

Could he even help people here?

Neatly, he settles himself on the edge of a roof, watching people go by, feeling a little lost. ]

Action

[lunarlegionnaire]

[One of the first things Marc had done upon arriving was to buy himself a hoodie and a fake mustache. All he had to do after that was change his gait and break out the Nooh Yawk accent. Now he could be Jake Lockley, man of the streets and potential future cabbie, whenever (IF ever) Moon Knight needed eyes on the ground.]

[It's on his second night in that guise when he spots the feline silhouette on the roof. Two decades at this vocation and it's still baffling how the average Joe never bothers to look up, blissfully unaware that shadows are looking down on them from above. Shadows both good and evil.]

[Which one does this stray cat belong to? He decides to find out without donning his priestly vestments. He comes up through the building's fire escape, a swift and silent veteran of darker nights. Once on the roof, he makes sure his hood's up and he's s no less than ten steps away from the boy. Then:]

Psst. Watcha lookin' at, kid?

[catastrophically]

[ Cat Noir had sensed him a few seconds earlier but that doesn't stop his instinctive reaction to have his staff ready on hand. Still, he immediately relaxes a bit. Here, in this place, he's not sure who he's supposed to be defending. When the Akuma was around, it was easy. A clear-cut enemy.

He's never actually fought real people before. Still, that doesn't mean he's going to let his feelings show. With an air of casual indifference. ]

Oh, you know. Just checking things out. Nice place you have here. See a lot of trouble?

Action;

[get_dunked]

[And a little something few would expect. For Sans, a human in a cat costume was worth checking out. He was on his break from whatever it is skeletons do, so he can afford the time.

So he made his way to Cat Noir's position rather quickly and stealthy.]

"Hey... Not to, uh, be catty, but... were you, uh... checkin' meow-t?..."

[catastrophically]

[ If he takes a few minutes to stare. Not at the puns (those were great) but at the fact that a skeleton was talking to him. Thankfully, he recovers quickly. ]

No? I mean, I'm just looking around. I'm new here.

[Video]

[ineffaceable]

[ seto has generally been ignoring the network in favor of figuring out what to do about kisara and his financial situation here, but this boy pings him so hard for mokuba that he almost cracks a smile at the i know my rights line.

nearly, anyway. ]

What do you like to do?

[ his expression is a little less severe than usual, and his tone is actually inquisitive.

this one is just a kid, anyway. ]

[catastrophically]

[ He relaxes a little, feeling less unsure about this video post. ]

I'm open to suggestions. I'd really like to avoid the modeling route but I also don't have a lot of job experience.

Video

[imaginationswoes]

[Airy really shouldn't be one to talk since she hasn't found herself a job yet.]

Why not work as a waiter then? That's what I did when I was fourteen... actually... it was only for a few months over the summer and I think I was fifteen but that... isn't my point...

[She appears to have lost her point somewhere in there.]

What I mean else do you know how to do besides modeling?

Re: Video

[catastrophically]

[ THIS IS A GOOD QUESTION. ]

I can fence? And, uh, play the piano. I can speak French and Mandarin. Those are useful skills, right?

Video

[skilledwithwords]

Have you gone to the help center? They have a lot of jobs listed there and you might find something you like.

[She smiles.]

I'm Levy by the way. I work in a book shop in Fayren. What sort of modeling did you do?

Video

[catastrophically]

Just photoshoots. Trust me, it's not as exciting as it sounds.

[ In fact, he would have bowed out long ago if it wasn't his father's request. And Adrien does desperately want to please him. ]

[eastdetective]

Plenty of people here hire kids to do stuff. I mostly just run errands for people, though.

[Because despite his mental age, most people here still thought Conan was seven. ]

Re: [Video]

[catastrophically]

That's not too bad. What kind of stuff do they hire kids for?

[ He just has to be careful he's signing up for a decent job. Especially since he's moonlighting as a superhero on the side. ]

Action

[schrodingersghost]

[The roofs really were one of the best places to hang out during patrols. Danny just wasn't expecting to run into someone else all the way up here. He drifts slowly down from his flight and waves in a slightly awkward manner. ]

Um, hello? I don't think we've met.

Re: Action

[catastrophically]

[ . . . That guy sure is floating and flying. He squints briefly before his trademark grin appears. ]

I'm new in town. The name's Cat Noir. You are?

video

[fragrantic]

Knowing your rights might not matter entirely here, I don't know.

Re: video

[catastrophically]

I mean, I'm not gullible. I won't just jump at any opportunity.

[ Not . . . terribly so. ]

( video )

[thelastdruid]

[Nathan looks thoughtful as the video initializes.]

Huh...14, and a model, huh? [He's glad to hear you don't want to do it, though.]

How do you feel about learning a cash register?

Re: ( video )

[catastrophically]

I'd be up for it.

[ He really has no problem with low-paying jobs or retail ones. In fact, he'd probably tackle it with enthusiasm. ]

What kind of shop would I be working for?

( action )

[justalittlerunaway]

[Late night runs to the convenience store were just some of the perks of living in a place that wasn't as dangerous as New York. The werewolf had pretty much gotten used to the scents around Genessia City, but whenever she passed near someone new, or the winds shifted, she got curious again.

This time was no exception. She turned and at first didn't see the strange, costumed boy on the rooftop, but then she looked up, and tilted her head to the side curiously.]

Uh...so...who are you supposed to be?

Re: ( action )

[catastrophically]

[ He's a guy in a catsuit. There are only two choices available here and one he's not old enough for. ]

A superhero? Was the mask and costume unclear?

[ He's starting to suspect that he'll get this question a lot. ]

video;

[strawberrypenguin]

Depends on what you like to do. The possibilities are endless~!

[Says the overly happy blonde haired kid.]

Re: video;

[catastrophically]

That sounds more dodgy than helpful. Also, I'm not even sure where to start.

[ What does he like to do as a job??? ]

[action] because I can't resist

[tuxedo_magician]

[ KID was bored, putting it mildly. He had been actively avoiding interacting with Conan at all, as both himself and as Kaito, because he knew that the mini detective would put two and two together at some point and figure out he was KID. Especially after that conversation his younger self had had with a young Shinichi.

Although he was going to have to talk to him eventually, there had been too much revealed not to.

But that was neither here nor there.

No, right now was the kid he had found sitting on the roof.

Is that a tail?]

I do suppose this makes a nice spot for a catnap, don't you think?

[ Hope you don't mind getting your night interrupted by a Phantom Thief wearing a top hat and cape. ]

Re: [action] yes good

[catastrophically]

[ Suddenly his costume looks a lot better (but not by much) ]

Sure, if I wanted to fall off. At least I'll land on my feet.

[ video ]

[secretshoujoart]

You're...wanting to be a model?

I can pay you, if you are interesting in modeling for a...book. [ he figures they probably don't know about manga ]

Re: [ video ]

[catastrophically]

Uhm . . . maybe. What do you need me to do?

[ He does, actually. He's pretty into anime. ]

action

[ringed_fate]

[Ryou is walking along with a paper bag filled with a few supplies for painting his figurines. He pauses to check his map. He wondered quite a ways from Yugi's place.

He has the odd feeling that he's being watched, even though it is a city filled with people and that should be expected. He looks over his shoulder.]

Re: action

[catastrophically]

[ Too stalkery? Maybe he should introduce himself. But he'll learn more if he just watched the city for now. There's little point in making himself into a big deal. It's only through his deeds that people will respect him.

Still, he keeps out of sight. ]
