Chapter 2: The nice lady who brought us batter discs
[Year: 2015 Dimension: 01 Time: 18:10] "Oh yea... Well I like to be very organized so I've made preset versions of myself for every dimension based off of a strategic point. With this I concluded there are basically only 2 weaknesses." Zaygh explained. "What are they? The weaknesses, I mean." Asked Xanite. "The first weakness is that some people won't take me as seriously. The second weakness is that some people on Earth really, really like young girls..." Zaygh replied. After that awkwardness the duo decided that they needed to make up the cash to buy that house from the landlord. Oh, you forgot the landlord? Keep up. "To get cash...we need jobs. Which means we need to work. With me being a young girl another disadvantage is that I cannot work so you have to." Zaygh said. "Wait you expect me to work. You sent me here to observe not work!" Xanite complained "I didn't send you here to complain either, did I? We need a place to rest so we need a job. The landlord was nice enough to let us stay in the apartment for the night as long as we promised that we would job hunt tomorrow." Zaygh and Xanite had picked a small apartment in Kyoto, Japan to rest.
[Location: Home|Time: 7:00] "Hey, Xanite, wake up." Zaygh tried pushing Xanite off the bed. "Ehhhh, stop that, I'm trying to rest." Xanite murmured "It's morning, we promised the landlord that we would get you a job so we can live here, wake up, wake up, WAKE UUUUUP!" Zaygh yelled. Dazed, Xanite rolls out of bed and sits up straight to face Zaygh. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. "You'll have to answer that, Xanite, I'm gonna get changed." Zaygh said behind their bedroom door. Xanite answers the door to find a light blue haired girl. "Hey, I'm Claire, I'm the landlord." The nice woman said. "I-uh...I am Xanite. Uh, hehehe..." Xanite attempted to mutter. Claire giggled a bit and continued the conversation. "I just came over to see if you or you daughter wanted something to eat before you left, I figured since you didn't have a home or a job, you wouldn't have any food, either." she explained. "Oh, uh, s-sure, thanks. Let me get my daughter ready. You may come in for the time being." Xanite walked to the bedrooms to get changed as well. "Ummm, so, uh, how'd it go?" Zaygh asked. "It was one of the most awkward encounters of my life." Xanite said under their breath. "Well I'm sure it wasn't that bad, plus we get free food, so it obviously turned out in our favour." Zaygh said while adjusting their tie. "Awwww! Aren't you adorable!" Claire exclaimed once Zaygh and Xanite had finished changing. "Who, me?" Zaygh asked. "Yes you, silly. You look adorable wearing those clothes. It is a little too big for you, though." Claire examined thoroughly. "The tie is a nice touch. Definitely. Anyways, I made some breakfast for you two." Claire put a plate containing small, circular discs on the table. "What are these, Zaygh?" Xanite whispered. "Not even I know, they seem to be some sort of...batter disc." "These are pancakes, have you guys never had them before?" Claire asked. "Well, no-" Xanite got cut off. "OF COURSE WE HAVE!" Zaygh starts laughing uncontrollably. "We love pancakes! HAHAHAHAHA!" "Zaygh, what was that?" Xanite asked after they had finished their meal. "What was what?" Zaygh answered. "I mean, what was the insane laughter when Claire asked if we knew what pancakes were?" Xanite explained. "Oh that...I'm not very good under pressure. Heheh." Zaygh said with an embarrassing sigh as he scratched the back of their head.
[Location: Pancake Palace|Time: 7:40] "Wow, you really like pancakes." Zaygh said with surprise. "Those pancakes were almost as beautiful as she was." Xanite slipped out. "Woah woah woah! I beg your pardon?" Zaygh asked with a massive grin. "N-Nothing, I didn't say anything" Xanite was already blushing and was clearly embarrassed. "If you like her you should just tell heeeeeeer!" Zaygh exclaimed. "Let's just get back to the task at hand, here, alright?" Xanite urged. "Fine. First off you need to go to the front desk and ask if they are hiring." Zaygh instructed. Xanite opened the door and was bombarded with loud noises from cheery patrons. Xanite, surprised with the change of atmosphere, Xanite strode up to the front desk. "Hey, are you guys, uh, hiring?" Xanite asked. "Oh, so you saw our 'Now Hiring' sign?" The man at the desk asked. "Let me get our manager. Hold on a second." Xanite looked back to see Zaygh's face pressed against the glass, trying to peek inside to see what was going on. "Come here." Xanite gestured. "What?" Zaygh mouthed. Getting Zaygh's attention was obviously going to be a difficult task so Xanite stopped and turned back to face th counter, only to be greeted with a woman this time. "Hi, I'm the manager, Lucy. I was told you were interested in our open position as cashier, is that right?" Xanite was caught off guard. "Oh, uh, yes, of course, sorry. Heheheh." He managed to muster. "Great, just fill out this little form here and we'll contact you to see if you've gotten the job or not." She said, as though it were a routine. "Great, thanks." Xanite said, gratefully. Zaygh rushed in to join them once he saw Lucy pass the pamphlet to Xanite. "Come on, daaaaaad! You said we could go shopping!" Zaygh jabbed Xanite's side. "Let's go, you've got the pamphlet." Zaygh whispered. The two walked over to a table to fill out the sheet of paper. "Phone number? What's that? Address?" Xanite asked confused and irritated with his lack of knowledge with the Earth world. "Claire said we live...here...and our phone number issss...There!" Zaygh exclaimed as they filled out the form for Xanite. "Now bring this back up to the counter and make sure you tell them your name." Xanite walked up to the counter with the pamphlet and passed it to the cashier. "Here you go. My name is Xanite, by the way." Xanite added. "Ah, nice to meet you... Xanite Leviathan. Wow that's a mouthful. I'm Greg, I hope we'll be able to work together." He said while reading the information on the pamphlet. "Have a nice day."
[Location: Home|Time: 15:05] "Are you still watching the phone?" Zaygh asked, teasingly. "Of course I am, what if they call and I can't answer it? So I've dedicated the rest of my life to answering that call." Xanite proclaimed. "What if you didn't get the job and they don't call back?" Zaygh asked rhetorically. "Uh, well I-uh..." Xanite stuttered. "Fufufufufu!" Zaygh laughed. "I'm only joking, Xanite, chill out. I'm going to change, don't come into the room." Xanite waited in the same spot waiting for the phone to ring. "Wait, they've been in there for a while now, maybe something is wrong. I should go check up on them." Xanite thought to themself. Xanite walked to the room door and knocked. "Hello? Zaygh are you alright in there? You've been in there a long time." he said through the door. "Okay, I'm coming in, now." Xanite carefully turned the door handle and opened it. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE YOU PERVERT I TOLD YOU NOT TO COME IN I'M CHANGING!" Zaygh screamed at the top of their lungs. "Why didn't you say anything when I knocked on the door you-?!" But Xanite was greeted with a punch to the face instead of an answer. "From now on, if your going to be walking in on naked girls, your going to have to get used to getting hit in the face a lot." Zaygh explained afterwards. "Whatever, just go get changed so I can get to bed." Xanite, still dazed from the incredibly powerful punch, shuffled into the room to get changed.
