Felt more femme today so I put on some flashy clothes and a ponytail. Trying to be more confident but this job of mine doesn’t fucking help lol. Anyhow, that Edge guy from the other day came back, looking all banged up. He said he needed fixing and I reminded him kindly (i think) that it wouldn’t be free this time, unlike last time. He offered 200 eddies, which is, in truth, well, haha way lower than what I should charge, but i also don’t wanna die :)
i included also a kerenzikov in the deal as well, which is my fault for trying to do small talk with this low-empathy man. not his fault, sure, so many implants in this guy, i could barely find veins and nerve endings to install the kerenzikov. gave him some pills to deal with the immediate side-effects, but… well i just hope he’s not around me if things go haywire.
Nonna’s Box Office Tick Salesman Marky
Phil you won’t believe what fuckin happened man! You know that rockerboy Kushbomb who plays at Masako’s occasionally? He showed up at Nonna’s! Couldn’t believe it! I managed to play it real cool, but fuck man, he’s so rad. He seems really into movies though, didn’t even buy anything from the concessions.
Yes I did remind him about the popcorn deal. He doesn’t like the crunches probably.
And as he was leaving, I swear I saw tears rolling down his cheeks. The man knows his movies I tell ya, Lighthouse 3 is an excellent flick and must’ve effected him bigtime emotionally. Man I hope he comes back so we can chat some more.
Happy Movie Fun Zone Surveillance Report
The customer illegally sporting the likeness of asset Nicholas Cage entered the Happy Movie Fun Zone (tm) New Doutonbori premises at around 8pm. He proceeded to the box office immediately and purchased a ticket to Croods 4. He also illegally attempted to extract opinions out of Tickets Clerk Carla Yukimoto, who admirably refused. Clerk Yukimoto then indicated — as per regulation — that the customer would have to sign an anti-spoiler non-disclosure agreement, as is required of any individual who steps foot inside a Happy Movie Fun Zone (tm) owned and operated establishment. After watching the movie, the customer was seen leaving the establishment, seemingly furious. Unlikely, but he may have hated Croods 4.
Vadim
Hi Diary. Today I met little kid at Tease’s. Bad place for a kid to be all by lonesome, so I sat with him at the cafe table. He look at me funny and try to be aggressive. I say to kid, “I don’t wanna crush your head like tomato, so be chill.” Kid said okay. He pretends not be afraid, but not a lot of people can see Vadim and think “I am not afraid.” That is not how it work HA HA HA
The kid tells me he needs a workstation, maybe Jeep promised him something. Little kid, his name Jimmy by the way, need to learn that Jeep won’t get shit done. I take him to the workroom at the back, but the stations are all full. I ask kid, “pick table kid.” And he picks one. I carry the guy working there to the exit and he leaves, one of the smarts.
I tell to the kid, “If you need help, you find me. I am the big guy, easy to find!” HA HA HA
The Drakon
How I enjoy meeting new adventurer types… They hunger for so many things — a hunger I am familiar with. I was hungry once, trapped in a body that I no longer wanted or needed. A mortal coil that I had to shed to become something more than I am, something more than anyone in this city, let alone this world. I left death behind, along with all the baggage that came with it.
Now the mortal hunger is gone yet I am still consumed by the eternal hunger. There is always more. Luckily for me, there is always others who want more. They do not know, but they always work together, these others. They think themselves islands, yet they forget they are in the same ocean.
I am curious to see how we will satiate our hungers together with this new four. They have proven themselves worthy of my attention, even though they are inevitably marked. If they seek salvation, they shall have it. If they seek riches, they shall have it. I will provide it.
I sure do love a good debt…
