"These tests hurt people, right?"
"He's called Omega, Jamie."

Fair enough. Well, I know that the first Shift came when I was conscious. I don't remember what I was doing, except that I was alone in the woods. I had a headache, but I don't think I hit my head. Woods got bigger...greater somehow, if that makes sense. I met someone there. Don't remember how it went, except that He was a he, and something about a fox. Was He a fox? I don't remember, but it would make sense. I did something for him, helped him out with something. It's all blurry. He offered me a reward, but I turned him down, although I can't remember what it was or why I did, except that he laughed and said it was a good reason as any. Then he made some comment about a coat. I think he gave me a coat. It was all pretty weird. Then I left, and I must have Shifted again because it was all snowy all of a sudden and I was freezing to death. So I must have found a cave and put that coat on, because I woke up with the storm passed and me like this-
he shudders, shifting into his fox form in about two seconds. He's usually self-conscious about changing in front of people, but Naku's helping him out and she deserves the whole story. He now has to look up at Naku a bit more since he loses height when he changes, but otherwise he goes on as if nothing happened. His voice isn't any different despite his completely different mouth structure.
Then it took me about half a day to get to Inside, by which time I'd figured out how to change, and I've been scraping by ever since. That was...maybe a month ago?
He scratches his chin. His nails are a bit pointier than before.
Yeah, a month.
"I see." Is about all Naku says right after his story concludes, though she's obviously thinking about all of it.
"Well; you're not scraping by any more. I'll find work for you, you have full access to the food, drink, and if you need it, a room."

Mist smiles, flicking his tail a bit.
I think I'll take that room offer just for the sake of travel times. My walks around Inside haven't been the most pleasurable experiences. Although maybe that's because I always go alone. Who knows?
-
Re: [Nexus] Dancing Fox Inn VII: Our Waitstaff Can Be In Three Places At Once
"Oh."
Jamie, having totally missed when Omega was mentioned, blushes in embarassment and falls quiet.

"Of course. Pick a room, label it yours, and I'll make sure not to rent it out."

Re: [Nexus] Dancing Fox Inn VII: Our Waitstaff Can Be In Three Places At Once
Nothing but good news. That's a change.
Sounds good. Are they all different, or just numbered differently? Because I'm not too picky on that sort of thing.

"Just numbered differently, but if it's your room, you're welcome to fancy it up however you like."

Re: [Nexus] Dancing Fox Inn VII: Our Waitstaff Can Be In Three Places At Once
Alright, then. Hm.
He pauses for a moment.
Number Nine, if it's not taken.

"All right, come on." Naku says, waving him a 'come along' hand gesture, stepping out from behind the bar, and heading upstairs.

Aiden shrugs. He doesn't really know the small toy, but he's not about to just say that right there.
Meanwhile, there's a plotclone of Aiden at the bar, waiting for Naku.

Mist grabs his coat and follows, unaware that his tail is waving excitedly behind him. He's really going to have to get control of that soon.

Upon arriving, and after she finds the key, Naku throws the door to room 9 open!
It's . . . Much like any other room.
Somewhat spacious, with a double bed, an attached small bathroom, a nightstand, and a small desk with a chair.
"S'all yours." Naku says somewhat grandiosely, stepping back out of the way, and making a 'please, enter' sort of bow at him.

Re: [Nexus] Dancing Fox Inn VII: Our Waitstaff Can Be In Three Places At Once
Mist takes a few steps in, taking a look around. After a moment, he smiles again and tosses his coat onto the bed.
Looks great. Thanks again.

"Of course. Would you like to get some sleep now, or get started working?" Naku asks, leaning against the door frame.

Re: [Nexus] Dancing Fox Inn VII: Our Waitstaff Can Be In Three Places At Once
Mist doesn't stop to think on this one. After all, he's trying to make a good first impression.
I'll be fine with the latter. I can never go to sleep this early in the day anyway.

"All right. But if you do need sleep, by all means take a break. I understand being tired." With that, she pushes off from the frame with a shove of her shoulder, and turns to head back downstairs.

Re: [Nexus] Dancing Fox Inn VII: Our Waitstaff Can Be In Three Places At Once
Mist nods.
Understood.
He actually is pretty good about judging his own stamina, which is one reason why he doesn't change back and forth often.

"Carry on then." Naku says, before hopping lightly back down the stairs, and heading back behind the bar.

Re: [Nexus] Dancing Fox Inn VII: Our Waitstaff Can Be In Three Places At Once
Mist follow her downstairs and be available for whatever needs doing after just a quick rest, because his player just realized what time it is.
-
Re: [Nexus] Dancing Fox Inn VII: Our Waitstaff Can Be In Three Places At Once
Aiden happens to be in front of the bar, and he gives a short wave when Naku gets downstairs.

What can I do for ya?" Naku asks with her customary frang-showing smile.

Re: [Nexus] Dancing Fox Inn VII: Our Waitstaff Can Be In Three Places At Once
"Actually, I kinda just wanted to talk," Aiden said. "Drinks might come later."

"Absolutely. What's on your mind?" She asks, resting against the bar, smiling slightly.

Re: [Nexus] Dancing Fox Inn VII: Our Waitstaff Can Be In Three Places At Once
"So, you remember when I talked to you about heading to Mallside with me?" Aiden says, not entirely sure how to approach his intended subject.

"Oh, yeah. I do remember that.
Did you want to go do that, or are you bringing it up for another reason?"
-
Re: [Nexus] Dancing Fox Inn VII: Our Waitstaff Can Be In Three Places At Once
"Well, I wouldn't be averse to the former, but I am bringing it up for another reason," Aiden says. "Because I'm not gonna lie; that was partially a thinly-veiled attempt to ask you out." And there it is. Saying it was actually a bit easier than he thought it would be.

"Oh. Well . . . Um . . ." Naku, clearly at a loss for words and starting to blush ever so slightly, flails a bit for the right words, before finally settling on: "You coulda just said so earlier? I probably would have been happy to do it."
-
Re: [Nexus] Dancing Fox Inn VII: Our Waitstaff Can Be In Three Places At Once
"Yeah, I could've. Hindsight's 20/20 and I tend to be a bit of an idiot in this kind of situation," Aiden says as he averts his gaze. "I guess it's better late than never, at least for me."

"Nah, it's . . . totally fine." Naku says after another blush and pause.
Then follows with: "Well. Are you actually going to ask me out now? Or are you just gonna leave it hanging?"

Re: [Nexus] Dancing Fox Inn VII: Our Waitstaff Can Be In Three Places At Once
The ointment looks liek the things you can get in any supermarket or whatever is common in the nexus. The small creature looks annoyed at the two, assuming he got judged for his appereance.
"I'm Mr. C. I know I look like a toy, but I have my own mind and sould."
He turns around to face Naku and shouts.
"Hey! Can I get my drink and pizza please?"
