Neko: *smirks from the couch* You are now a productive member of society!

T. K.: *sitting behind her desk, head on the table* Shut up, Jigoku Taiga[1].

Tsuki: *sitting on the floor brushing his tail* If you're working, when will you have time to write?

T. K.: *sits up* I don't know. *Reaches in to her pants pocket*

Neko: Now, com'on, T. K., don't do that.

Tsuki: T. K., Love, you finally quit.

T. K.: I don't care. *pulls out--- dum dum DUM!--- her emergency pack of cigarettes and lighter. Lights a smoke and takes a drag. Don't smoke ppl, it's bad for you, T. K. does it because she has a death wish*

*Both muses get up*

T. K.: *warningly* Don't even.

*A Plot Hole opens above them. Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy fall out of it*

Draco: BLOODY HELL! Potter, we're too late!

Harry: Looks like Trelawney was right.

Draco: T. K., it's just a job... it's not like YKW is after you. I mean, look at Potter. He's the hope of the whole wizarding community, he lost both his parents, he's Dumbledore's Golden Boy, the bane of so many peoples very existence, and he's fine.

Harry: *looks stricken* Give me one of those, T. K.

Neko and Tsuki: HARRY JAMES POTTER!

Draco: I'm telling Professor Snape, then I'm telling Dumbledore and McGonagall. You're in deep, Potter.

Harry: *waving away an offered cigarette* No, no. T. K., if you don't like the job after a month then you can quit!

Tsuki: *perking up* He's RIGHT! The experience will look good on your application!

Neko: And you can put away all your money in a savings account and let interest build up. I mean, those sons-of-bitches are paying you $6.15 an hour.

T. K.: *smiling slightly but still smoking*

*The phone rings*

T. K.: *puts the cigarette down and reaches for the phone* Moshi-Moshi[2]? *listen* hai, *listens some more* hai, I'll be there. *Hangs the phone up* I have to go to orientation tomorrow at nine A. M. and won't get back until five P. M.

Harry: *watery smile* You can manage that...

T. K.: *picks up the cigarette and takes a drag* You don't sound too sure.

Draco: *frowning* If you don't manage orientation, you'll never manage a job.

T. K.: Hai, hai. Kuso, I don't want to go to work. This sucks.

Neko: Get over it.

Tsuki: *muttering* Jigoku Taiga.

Everyone but T. K.: *singing* I'm a hard working man[3]...

T. K.: *yelling* SHUT UP!

[1] Jigoku Taiga: Hell Tiger

[2] Moshi-Moshi: Hello on the phone.

[3]: Brooks and Dunn song.
