[Wait until you see him puking. Also, Stiles, have you not noticed he's been permanently unemployed? Though in fairness, jobs weren't expected in Hell.]
The stipend is generated strictly based on our Manna output, which we have little control over physiologically. As far as I understand I would not be capable of refusing the currents even if I did not want them. I currently have a surplus for my needs; there's no reason to pursue other work.
Additionally, my skills lie outside this world's employment standards, and I have little interest adapting to yet another environment.

This is what I’ve been working on with the network devices – creating a modified version of the phone so that the government can’t track our Manna generation. And you can definitely opt out of the stipend if you want to. I asked at the Embassy. But it’s convenient, so I get not wanting to.
Maybe I’ll hire you as a bouncer. I’m thinking of buying a business license instead of working for some putz.
It does. Just the general area, though. It's not super accurate.
A bouncer is someone who works security at a business and deals with troublemakers, either by preventing them from entering the business or removing them from the premises. They're common at clubs.
[ Then, before Itachi can interject with a comment, he continues. ]
I know you weren't ever interested in the original store, but it was important to me. One of the owners taught me everything I needed to know about my transformation. I had no one else to help me through it, since I was the only Mirrorbound Arachne. I owe Mila a lot.
Not to mention, I learned a lot about sexuality while working there. I kinda want to carry on that legacy. It means a lot to me.
I wasn't going to criticize the decision, though I suppose I had not realized the extent to which Worse Dragon had impacted you.
[Not shocking, considering how few their interactions in Aefenglom, by his own design.]
I recall that the book you forced me to purchase, [yeah that's what happened] in the end, was very enlightening despite its obscenity. At the time I was not in a place to appreciate it. [Oh, ye old prude days.]
Do you have plans for other employees? You seem set on this. What if our stay does not last here?
"Forced" you. Yeah, okay, whatever helps you sleep at night.
If we're whisked away yet again to some other dimension, what's it matter? The business will pass on to someone else, I guess. But I can't just sit here with my thumb up my ass doing nothing. It's already been over a year since I was home. I'm turning nineteen in a few weeks. Life continues, even if it's not where I belong.
[He doesn't know — it seems as though, over the course of dimensional experience, they've traveled in different directions. The more this recurs, the less willing and interested Itachi is in permanency; as though the intensity he'd dug himself into Aefenglom's problems had evaporated the moment Sasuke, Stiles, and Jonas had left and he was alone. Hell seemed even more pointless, except that it punished him rightly.
Yet similar is not something he would have ever called him and Stiles, so it doesn't alarm him. If Stiles weren't with him in Noctium now, would he even attempt to engage? Admitting that the boy is like an anchor toward whatever parts of humanity still exist within himself, and any real desire to be alive, feels unfair. A heavy burden. He determines never to say it.]
You will return home eventually. Your birthday, it's the 8th next month, correct?

You may wish to bring additional food, as onigiri isn’t usually considered a full meal.
[Plenty enough for his own bird-picky appetite, but he doubts the same is true for a healthy teenager.]
no subject
What, so you told me your favorite meal is a SNACK?
We can go grocery shopping beforehand and pick out what we need. When do you want to do this?
no subject
I don't have a preference. I assume you are trying to find employment, so likely your schedule is more constrained than my own. You can choose.
no subject
Alright, I'll get back to you on that then. But are you saying you're not looking for a job too?

It isn't a priority for me at the moment, no.

I also assume the network device is how you were able to find my apartment. [Caught, bitch.] It tracks physical location as well, doesn’t it?

You remembered. Yeah, it's the 8th of April. Or Diamil, in this world. At least it won't be a full moon this time.

Nope, no plans. Maybe we can have our date then?
