Gainful Employment [Backdate, Open]

[nomorecowbell]

Who: Nanami, OPEN
Where: Locations Over Aquares Ixen
When: Pre- visit to the Sage
What: Nanami looks for spending money and something to do.
Warnings: None.

Nanami had done some thinking after the trip home. So, she couldn't get out of this, and she couldn't do anything about being a Hero and in charge of making sure her world didn't get consumed. She knew how to fight, but fighting was risky, and there were Jobs that let her do other things, from the back.

But she also wanted some spending money, and something to do besides worry about how the hell they were going to win against an ancient devourer of worlds, so she decided to try something normal: look for a part-time job.

Then again, Nanami had never actually worked, or had to worry about money before Crystallis. She was rich, and her family made sure that their children never lacked for the status symbols of wealth. Living as a student was a bit of an education. So was trying to find a position as a teenager with a set of skills none too useful for many jobs.

"Excuse me, are you hiring?"

She must be desperate if she's at Fairy Tail HQ, but Levy doesn't mind entertaining the request.

"Usually people hire us for stuff," Levy responds, tilting her head curiously to the side.

"But if you want a job, I guess we could use someone to keep the guild hall clean. Or maybe a bartender, if you know anything about mixing drinks."

"I'm not even old enough to have drinks yet," Nanami said. She also didn't know much about cleaning. Wasn't that what staff was for?

Oh, right.

[scriptrix]

"You look old enough to me."

But then again, Levy's used to how things are at the guild back home. Cana's been drinking since she was like six years old.

"But if you'd rather just clean the place up, that's fine too."

[nomorecowbell]

"Back home, you have to be at least twenty to drink," Nanami said. "I mean, some people do it anyway, but not at a bar."

[scriptrix]

"Wow... almost nobody in Fairy Tail waited that long," Levy reflects with a laugh. "I never really had much of a taste for it, myself."

[nomorecowbell]

"Adults were okay with that?" Nanami asked, surprised.

[scriptrix]

"Where do you think she got the money for all that beer?" Levy asks, laughing again. "...It's, uh. Not as bad as it sounds."

[nomorecowbell]

It sounds pretty bad...

[scriptrix]

Well... I guess it's different anywhere you go. Ahaha...

[nomorecowbell]

I guess. I've only been to Japan and India before I arrived here.

It's fun to travel, though. There's always so much to learn about the local culture and their history.
