Once inside, the first thing Akino noticed was the smell. It was a terrible odor, smelling of rotting garbage and...Salmon? He couldn't quite figure out the last part. Akino gagged and put his blue hoodie over his nose. "Why does it smell so awful in here?" He questioned out loud, his voice muffled from the fabric over his mouth.

A deep, raspy voice said answered him. The voice made Akino think of an old, easily irritable man who just dropped his television remote. "HEY! It was your choice to come in here, you have to deal with the smell."

Akino jumped and looked around. "Wh-Who said that?"

"Over here, Squiddy. By the orange cooler." Being there was several orange coolers, this was very vague.

"Hmm..." Akino looked around, until he found a grizzly bear shaped radio. He slipped his hoodie off his nose and mouth. "Is this it?" He picked it up, "The radio?"

"Correct!" The sudden response made Akino jump once again and drop the radio, "Be careful with that!"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry." The young squid picked the radio back up and placed it on it's original stand, the stained orange cooler.

"I could just...Ugh." The deep voice took a moment to compose itself. "Just, never mind. It's alright. Now then, you're here for the egg collecting job, right?"

"Well, a little, but I had a few quest-"

"Aha! I knew it! You don't need to fill out that old application. You seem ready enough."

"Then why did-"

The gruff voice cut Akino off again. "Save your questions!" Akino sighed and lowered his head, letting his application slip from his fingers. "They'll all be answered shortly. Now then, I should introduce myself. You can call me Mr. Grizz. Pleasure to meet you."

"My name is Akino. Good to meet you as well." Akino laughed awkwardly, scratching the back of his head.

Mr. Grizz chuckled. "Now then, let's get you out into action. Best way to learn is get your hands dirty. One of my employees should be coming right about-"

"Hello, Mr. Grizz." A female voice called out, stamping her time card.

"Now." The elderly man cleared his throat. "Welcome back, Jade."

A/N: Heya! Uh...Procrastination is fun. I really don't know why I've taken this long to post this. It's been done for at least a month but never got around to posting it...

Shimmer: Because he's lazy!

...In a sense, yeah. Anyways, sorry for the long delay, I'll attempt to post more often.
