Chapter 6: Job Hunting…
James POV
I woke up from a good-night sleep. It was morning… the birds were chirping and I was on a different room… WAIT… A DIFFERENT ROOM?! I sat up quickly from my bed, and saw that I was on a different room… then I remembered… I was in Harvest Moon…
How could I forget something like that?! Anyway, I got up from my bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower. The water was surprisingly warm, but I liked it… I stayed like that for 5 minutes and finally got out… and got dressed… on my same clothes… since I didn't bring any, then I went outside (my room) and closed the door. Staying in an Inn was going to take a while to get used to, but one thing I needed: Clothes…
When I walked downstairs I was greeted by Colleen and Jake.
-Good Morning! How did you sleep?- Colleen asked
-Great thanks a lot!- I said
-Anyway, you can have breakfast over there, the first breakfast, lunch and dinner is free!- Jake said
-Whoa, thanks! Hey you don't happen to have a job in here do you?- I asked
-Hmm, well yeah, here and on the bar… but we can offer you one here! Do you want it?- Jake asked
-Well that would be great!- I said
-Great, you'll take this day off, and begin tomorrow!- Jake said
-Thanks…- I said and started walking towards a table
- Hi, my name is Maya… nice to meet you!- the girl said. She has orange hair with two braids at her sides, and blue eyes. She was wearing a pink dress, pink shoes and a white apron. She's extremely cute.
-I-I-I'm James… nice to m-m-meet you too!- I said blushing a little bit
-Hey can you try this for me? I needed someone to try it… since nobody wants to…- Maya said pouting while holding a dish
-Y-yeah, o-of course- I said grabbing a bite of the dish and eating it. Seconds later I started feeling a little sick and I ran to the bathroom, worrying Maya
-Are you okay?- Maya said worried
-Yeah… you're cooking is really… surprising…- I said as I came out of the bathroom
-T-thanks…- Maya said blushing a little
-Anyway… I was going to have breakfast… can I order?- I asked
-Oh yeah sure! What do you want?- Maya said while I looks at the menu
-Hm… some Cheese Omelet would be great, and some orange juice!- I said
-Ok… coming right up!- Maya said writing it down and giving it to the chef
-Hey Maya… by the way, do you know what day is it?- I asked
-Today? Today's Spring 1st!- Maya said
-Okay… thanks…!- I said
-Your welcome!- Maya said walking away
-Spring 1st? I think tomorrow is Danny's birthday… and I know just what to give her!- I said to himself then Maya walk over to me
-Here's your cheese omelet and your orange juice! Enjoy!- Maya said bowing down
-Thanks!- I said and started eating… the food was great, but not too great…
-Excuse me, Mr. James?- Jake asked
-Yeah?- I said
-In the morning we received a letter with your name in it! So… here you are!- Jake said as he gave me an envelope
-Oh, thanks!- I said taking the envelope. I opened it and saw a note inside that said:
Here you have some money for your clothes and food,
Enjoy it,
THG
I saw inside the envelope again, and there was money. I grabbed it and went over to Sonata Tailoring, thanks to the signs. And finally arrived the building and entered.
-Hello, my name's Luna, how can I help you?- a girl asked. She has pink hair tied up in two ponytails, and blue eyes. She was wearing a pink n' white dress, pink socks and pink n' white shoes. She had flowers on her hair.
-Oh… Hi… I was hoping you could get me… all of my wardrobe since I didn't bring any- I said
-Yeah, okay…- Luna said
She showed me various outfits and finally got out of the building with the entire wardrobe in hand.
-Who the hell gave me that money?
I thought of that as I walked towards the inn to leave my wardrobe in my room.
Scarlet's POV
When I woke up, I was in the mood for some chocolate cake… I got up, went to the bathroom and took a shower. I was getting out of the shower when I remembered that I didn't bring any spare clothes… I guess I'll have to do some shopping. I got dressed in the same clothes, then went to the kitchen and checked the fridge… but it was empty, my world ended at that moment.
I guess I have to go to the inn… but I have no money. I thought of that while walking to the dining room, when I noticed an envelope on the table. I went over it and opened it.
Inside was a note that said:
Here's some money to eat,
And buy clothes,
Enjoy yourselves!
THG
I looked inside the envelope, again, and saw some money (MY SAVIOUR, MY WORLD WAS ENLIGHTENED ONCE MORE), enough for me and Lucy so I split half of the money and left it there. I placed the envelope on the table and went on my way to the inn.
When I arrived I sat on a table and waited for the waitress, when I remembered who the waitress of this place was…
-Hi, my name is Maya, I will be serving you today! What is your order?- the girl I recognized as Maya said, I was amazed, I finally met her in person… then I looked at the menu.
-Hm… Choco Pie would be lovely! And some… Hot Choco, please!- I said smiling
-Okay, coming right up!- Maya said walking to the kitchen while I contemplate the environment I so wanted to meet. Then after some admiring, Maya came back with my order…
-Here's you Choco Pie and your Hot Choco! Enjoy!- Maya said
-Thanks!- I said and started eating the tempting food! It was great! But not great enough… after eating my breakfast I went over to Maya –How much?- I asked
-Mmmm…. It would be… 240g- Maya said
-Ok, here ya go thanks- I said handing her the money than walking out of the building.
I started to wonder what to do, and then I remembered…
-I must get clothes this time…- I said to myself, and then started heading towards the Sonata Tailoring…I know this place like the ingredients of chocolate cake... hey that rhymed!
I arrived a purple-ish kind of building and went in… and started to look through all types of clothes. Yes, they really do have all types of clothes.
-Hello how may I help you?- the girl I recognized as Luna said.
-Oh yeah, I'm looking for… wardrobe… since I don't have any…- I said blushing from embarrasement
-Okay, a guy came asking the same thing, so I guess you'll buy everything like: Underwear, bras, dresses, blouses, shoes, pants and shorts?- Luna said
-The other guy bought bras, dresses and blouses?- I asked incredously, June would love to meet that guy...
-Eh?- Luna looked at me strangely analizing my sentence, when she suddenly blushed and shook her head -No, I meant that you would buy that kind of stuff...- she said still blushing
-Oh...Yeah, actually yeah!- I said
Luna showed me patterns and different styles and finally I got all of my clothes planned and luckily she had all of them prepared, so I got clothes fast.
-Okay, here…- she said handing me my clothes -...you have strange tastes !- Luna said
-Why?- I said
-Well because your clothes are all… yucky-ish…- Luna said making a disgusted face
-Excuse me, yucky-ish?- I asked a little mad
-Well yeah, they make you look all… emo… anyway… it'll be 3400g- Luna said
-Ok… here- I said as I handed her the money -… and by the way… your clothing makes you look all… childish, stubborn and spoiled…- I said as I walked out of the building leaving a shocked Luna behind.
I walked towards Town Hall and walked in, they have to have some place available… I thought of that as I walked to the girl I know as Elli.
-Hi Elli, I was wondering if you have any jobs available here?- I asked
-Oh hello Scarlet… wow, what's all of that?- She asked as she pointed at something I had in my hand
-Uh?- I looked to where she was pointing, and saw all of my wardrobe, I guess I forgot to leave it home -Oh yeah, I went shopping… to get wardrobe! Any way... is there a job available here?- I asked
-Yeah I think so… In the library… Is that okay?- she asked
-Yeah… they do pay on that position?- I asked
-Of course, every job in this island received payment!- she said
-Okay, I'll take it!- I said
-Great! Come here tomorrow in the morning!- she said happily
-Okay, I'll take it, thanks again!- I said while going towards the exit…
I went to the house, left my wardrobe and went to the explore…
Dan's POV
I woke up feeling really good! My bed was REALLY comfy; maybe living here won't be that bad after all! I went to the shower, came out and wore the same clothes, I forgot to pack my clothes, but how would I know that we were going to be here?
I went to the kitchen, thinking of making myself some peanut butter & jelly, but I remembered we arrived here and had no food and no money… just when I was thinking about that I saw an envelope on the stove. Inside the envelope was a note that said:
Here's some money for food and clothes,
Save it, or spend it,
THG
Sweet, I had money for food and clothes! I split the money in half, for Andrew, and went on my way towards the inn. When I arrived there, I immediately ran to a table.
-H-h-hi, my name's Maya… may I ask why are you s-s-shirtless?- the girl said, she was blushing a little bit.
-Too much heat… anyway, I'd like to have… pizza! And some grape juice please!- I said looking at the menu
-O-okay, c-coming right u-up!- Maya said blushing a little bit while walking to the kitchen
-Why was she stuttering? And why was she all red?- I wondered, but I think I wondered too much, since she came with my food ready
-Here's you pizza and your grape juice!- Maya said, still blushing a little bit
-Thanks!- I said then began digging at my food, it was great, I admit, but not as great as James cooks. When I finished I walked to Maya
-How much?- I asked
-Hmm, it I'll be… 191g- Maya said
-Thanks!- I said as I handed her the money and went to the Sonata Tailoring for clothes, thanks to my map!
I entered and watched some wardrobes…
-Hello, my name's Luna, you come for all of your wardrobe because you didn't bring clothes, right?- she said while I just nod
-Yep!- I said still nodding
-Ok, come with me!- She said blushing a little bit, I wonder why… we arrived at the counter and she shower me different wardrobes, I picked out what I wanted and finally finished.
-Why did you buy shirts and t-shirts if you're shirtless?- Luna said blushing a little bit
-I don't know, I get the feeling that I should buy shirts and t-shirts… anyway how much?- I asked
-Mmmm, 3400g- she said
-Okay, thanks!- I said while I handed her money and walked out of the store, and headed home to leave my clothes.
June's POV
Man, that sleep was A-MA-ZING; I slept like a baby… these beds… in Harvest Moon are INCREDIBLE! I took a shower and put the same clothes on. I went to the sink, washed my face again, and finally went to the dining room, where I saw an envelope. Inside there was a note that said:
Buy clothes and food!
You'll need it,
THG
There was money enough for me and Danny, so I took half of it, and went on my way to the inn, where I was greeted by a cheerful girl.
-Hi, my name's Maya, may take your order?- she said
-Sure, I want some… Plain Omelet, and some hot coffee, please!- I said
-Ok, coming right up!- she said as she bounced to the kitchen
I was still not used to being in a game, well now it looks like the real world but… it's still a game…
-Here is you Plain Omelet, and your Hot Coffee, enjoy!- she said
-Thank you very much!- I said and started eating, the food was good, but I liked James's cooking better, when I finished I left the money on the table, since I calculated the price, and made my way to the Sonata Tailoring where I was attended by an annoying brat, and got a lot of clothes.
Then I went to the clinic, since I studied medicine, to get a job.
-Excuse me, is there a job available in this place?- I asked the lady in the counter. She has grey hair tied up in a bun, and green eyes. She was wearing a white dress with a red Japanese dress over it and an orange poncho over the red Japanese dress, and some white shoes.
-Yes, an assistant doctor, will you be up for it?- the lady asked
-Of course, by the way, my name is June! Nice to meet you!- I said
-Nice to meet you too, my name is Irene, my grandson, Jin, is in charge of this place…- she said
-Okay, then when do I have to come here?- I asked
-Come here tomorrow morning…- she said
-Ok, thanks, I have to leave these clothes on my house… thanks again! See you tomorrow!- I said and walked out of the building to my house, to leave my wardrobe and finally went out to meet everyone else.
Lucy's POV
I woke up, then went to take a shower, and went to wake up Scarlet, but as I went to her room, the only thing I saw was a lot of clothes, then I figured, she went shopping but with what money? I thought of that as I went to the dining room and saw the envelope with money inside. I think I saw a note inside, but I ignored it.
I grabbed the money and went to the inn to eat something… I was STARVING!
I arrived there and went to the table, looked at the menu and a girl came towards me.
-Hi my name's Maya can I take your order?- she said
-Yeah, I want some fried rice and some blueberry juice!- I said
-Okay…- she said and walked to the kitchen and moments later she came with a dish
-Here you go, fried rice and blueberry juice! Enjoy!- Maya said
-Thanks- I said and started to eat my food, I figured it was not as good as I thought, but it wasn't bad either. I paid for my food, and then I went to Sonata Tailoring and bought clothes and finally decided to leave the clothes at home.
Danny's POV
I woke up, took a shower, put on the same clothes (because I didn't bring any spare clothes… don't blame me, how was I supposed to know that we were gonna end up here?) and finally went to the kitchen. There was no one in here so I was gonna go out, until I saw an envelope, inside a note that said:
Buy clothes and food!
You'll need it,
THG
-Cool, money to spend!- with that thought in my head I walked over to the inn, and must I say that it was an EXHAUSTING way. I practically passed out on half of the way, well no, but almost. On my way, I found some berries, and wild plants that looked edible. I ate them, and proceeded on my way, but this time to the Sonata Tailoring, since I already ate (the berries and wild plants).
When I entered the shop, I was greeted by a little girl by the name of Luna. She was annoying, but I don't blame her, she's a kid, every kid is annoying. Especially at her age, what? Between 7 and 10 years old, maybe?
I bought a lot of clothes, and the snobby little kid told me that it was kind of emo, but I ignored it. It looks normal to me! Besides what would a little girl know? I paid and got out of the building. I was walking viewing the blue sky, rare thing in the other… world? Or maybe I never really paid much attention to it. I wasn't really watching were I was going, honestly, then after some seconds later I bumped into a girl.
-Oh my, pardon me!- the girl said. She has blonde hair tied up in a ponytail, and emerald green eyes. She was wearing a yellow shirt, with a blue vest over it, a red bandanna tied around her neck, some brown pants with blue patterns at the end, with a brown skirt over it and some brown boots.
-No, it's my fault, I was distracted… oh hello, my name's Danny!- I said
-Oh, how rude of me to not introduce myself, huh? My name's Kathy! Nice to meet ya'- she said
-Nice to meet you too! Hey do you know if there are jobs available around here?- I asked
-Well… OH YEAH, on the Bar, that's where I work, but there's this spot available, do you want it?- she said
-Of course, it will be great! Thanks!- I said
-No problem!- she said smiling happily
-Well I gotta get going, since I have to leave all of my clothes at home! See ya!- I said walking away
-See ya!- she said
I went home, put my clothes down, and took a nap, since the walking was EXHAUSTING!
Andrew's POV
When I woke up, I immediately took a shower, and went to the kitchen, where I found it empty as a meeting about politics. The only thing I saw was an envelope with a note inside that said:
Here's some money for food and clothes,
Save it, or spend it,
THG
I looked inside once again and found money, enough for food and clothes. I immediately went outside and started to head towards town, but before I arrived the bridge, I saw Mia walking by the path. I went running over to her.
-Hi Mia, where ya going?- I asked
-Somewhere that's none of your business…- she said indifferently
-And where is that somewhere that's 'none of my business'?- I asked
-Over to Horn Ranch...- she said
-Oh! Can I go? Can I go?- I excitedly said... and honestly I sounded like a little puppy
-Sure!- she said, COOL! More people to meet!
We went our way towards a Ranch… and we entered the shop.
-Hi Mia, how can I help you?- the woman said
-Hi Hanna… I was here shopping for some products…- Mia said
-Oh, go ahead and look around! Oh hi, we haven't met before, have we? As I think you already know, my name's Hanna!
-Oh, yeah, Nice to meet you, my name's Andrew!
-You're Mia's friend?- she asked
-Yeah…- I said
-Mom, where's the brush?- a girl said walking into the room, honestly I must say that she's very pretty
-Hi, my name's Andrew!- I said extending my hand to the girl
-Oh, hi! Pardon my rudeness, my name's Renee!- the girl said
-Nice to meet you!- I said
-Me too!- she said
-Hi Renee, Hanna I'm taking 8 good chicken eggs, 3 bottles of good milk, 3 bottles of good mayonnaise, 5 good butters and 5 good cheeses- Mia said putting all of the merchandise on the counter
-Okay… that'll be 904g!- Hanna said
-Here you go…- Mia said handing the money to Hanna
-Have a wonderful day, Mia!- Renee said
-Yeah, thanks, Andrew? Come on, let's go, I gotta go somewhere else…- then she glanced at Renne -or do you want to stay here?- Mia said with a smirk… I think she suspects something…
-N-n-no, I'll c-come w-with you, it was a pleasure meeting you both!- I said blushing a little bit by Mia statement
-See you again, Renee… you too, Hanna…- Mia said walking out of the shop
I catch up to Mia, and we headed towards the Marimba Farm. When we were gonna turn to the Marimba Farm, we bumped into Dan.
-Hey guys! Where are you going?- Dan said
-To Marimba Farm… wanna come?- I asked
-Hell yeah!- Dan said
-Okay then, let's go!- I said glancing at my side expecting to see Mia, but instead got pure air -Where's Mia?- I said looking around while Dan does the same
-Oh... there... THERE SHE IS!- Dan said... more like shouted while pointing over to somewhere
I glanced to where he was pointing and saw a walking Mia... not stopping at all.
-WAIT FOR US!- Dan and me said running up to her
And just like that we went to the Marimba Farm… and when we arrived, Dan was gawking at the girl behind the counter.
-Hi Mia! How can I help you?- Anissa said politely
-Just gonna shop, let me see around…- Mia said walking off
-Oh, hi! My name's Anissa!- she said extending both of her hands over to Dan and me
-O-oh h-hi, m-my name's Dan! N-nice to m-meet y-you!- Dan said stuttering a bit
-Yes, likewise, may I ask why are you shirtless?- she said politely
-T-too much heat- he responded
-And I'm Andrew, pleasure to meet you!
-Likewise!- she said smiling at us
-I'd like to take 5g. of good rice, 5 good corns, 5 good onions, 5 good strawberries, 5 good lettuces, 5 good grapes, 5 jars of good honey, 5 good cherries, 5 good potatoes and 5 good turnips…- Mia said putting all of the said crop on the counter
-Okay, that'll be 1910g!- Anissa said
-Here…- Mia said handing her money
-Anything else?- she asked
-Yeah, 5 seeds of Turnip, 5 seed of potatoes, 5 seeds of strawberries, 5 seed of lettuces, 2 coffee seeds, 2 cherry seeds, 2 olive seeds, 2 orange seeds and 2 apple seeds…- Mia said
-Okay, here… it'll be 1015g- She said handing Mia the seed packages
-Here you go…- she said handing her the money
-Thanks, come again!- Anissa said waving her arm
We came out of the store and helped Mia with her stuff. We followed her towards her house. We were passing by that abandoned farm. I glanced at it: it was a two story little house that was a little worn out, the barn was crumbling down, and the chicken coop looked like crap.
-Dan look, that farm looks so lonely like a drunk business man in Christmas…- I told him laughing
-I know who would buy that house? It's like crap!- Dan said laughing some more
Mia didn't say anything, but started walking towards the farm and entered it. Dan and I looked at each other, fearing for our lives.
-Y-y-you l-l-live h-here?- I asked
-Yeah… come in to my "crap" house…- Mia said opening her door with a ferocious glare, while motioning me and Dan to come inside
Dan and me entered quickly, and put the stuff in the table. I saw an envelope on the table.
-So you got the envelope too?- I said picking up the envelope, where the note inside said
Here's some money,
Spend it well,
THG
-Yeah, it was on the mailbox… I wonder who it's from…- Mia said putting all of the animal products and the crops on the fridge.
-I really am wondering… it's kind of mysterious, and besides, who the hell is THG?- Dan said
-Don't know…- Mia said.
