[ She's been sparse with using this network of things for help, but from her recent adventures in the 13th Hour, she's realized it's inconvenient to not have an unlimited stock of ammunition and guns to throw away at her expense. It's not quite 'normal' to go up to someone and ask for a gun or bullets. She still had the appearance for a kid, even if she had gone through so many Aprils.

It's down to this, then. ]

What's the easiest way to obtain ammunition? Also, I'd like to know how easy it is to find a job. I imagine any rounds will cost money no matter what and I currently do not have the resources to purchase them at the moment.

Thank you for your aid.

[ And now, to wait. ]

At a weapons store, I'd assume.

[Well obviously, Hizumi.]

As far as jobs go, Visitors tend to get priority on employment I've found. As long as it's age-appropriate and doesn't require any particular skills, you should be able to get it.

Where might these weapon stores be located?

I'll keep an eye out for potential employment, then.

[bondsofsuffering]

If you're looking for anything, your best bet is definitely Virgo. They've got stores of all kinds there - it's just a matter of finding them.

There's one place I know of in particular, though... I could probably send you the address I suppose.

[And yet, he doesn't quite.]

[softreset]

You suppose?

[ Just that. She's not the most patient when it comes to the crafty ones. ]

[bondsofsuffering]

Well, mainly I was a little curious about why you chose to use text for a message like this. People are pretty upfront about their weapons here, you know!

It just struck me as a little... odd.

[And kind of suspicious.]

Try one of the local-run markets in Virgo Ward - I usually see cases of ammunition near the rice. I think KaniMart is currently having a sale on .45 caliber rounds?

As for jobs, Visitors are kind of celebrities, so if you have any kind of marketable skill it should be pretty easy to find a job - we're good for business, apparently.

Noted. Thank you.

What is this KaniMart?

[unbroken_chain]

Grocery store in Virgo Ward - the mascot is this cartoony Krabby. I usually shop at Ichiban Market, but KaniMart has slightly better prices on tofu.

[ Sounds normal enough. Although she wants to question why such a place would sell bullets---but this is Hinoto-Ri, and she's been here long enough to know things are weird enough as they are.

Sadly she has no way to determining whether or not this person is trustworthy, but no one's going anywhere any time soon. ]

Are they your preferred sources for groceries?

[ Internally smacking herself. ]

Why would you need ammunition...?

[That was a stupid question, but as a lawyer she couldn't help but worry as to why she would need them.]

text

[softreset]

For protection against the monsters in the 13th Hour.

text

[cykedfists]

Oh... Right...

[They did need to fight every now and then...]

What is the 13 Hour exactly...?

[softreset]

The time of the day where the monsters appear.

Have you not encountered them yet?

I presume there must be speciality stores somewhere in Virgo Ward. Are you skilled with firearms?

As for a job, I could use some help at the bakery right now, as a matter of fact.

text

[softreset]

I prefer them over other kinds of weaponry.

Are you the old gentleman that runs the new bakery in the same ward? John-san if I'm not mistaken.

[ A job! Hallelujah. ]

text

[dekillerqueen]

[Ah. He prefers blades - not to mention his hands - but perhaps it's best not to mention that alongside his being a baker.]

Indeed. Have I seen you there?

text

[softreset]

This is Homura. I made a purchase at the bakery recently. One strawberry tart.

I am available for interview at any time.

I'm sort of self-employed, so I'd say it's easy. I run deliveries, and I'm willing to escort people, too. So if applying somewhere doesn't suit you you can probably just... make something up. Gotta be willing to advertise, though.

[softreset]

I see. I'll let the network know if something marketable comes up.

[ That gets her thinking. What does she have to offer? ]

text;

[resipiscent]

Yeah, that's what I did. Honestly though, I get more business from the residents than the Visitors.

[softreset]

I've been told we do seem more preferable to the residents, but perhaps not to each other.

I'll keep you in mind the next time I have a delivery.

[electricyousei]

What kind of ammunition? Chemical based? Energy based?

text;

[softreset]

The regular, puncturing kind. Would you recommend other types?

[ Barring their ability to actually, well, fit into a Desert Eagle. ]

text;

[electricyousei]

I've only trained with energy weapons due to recoil issue. They are hard to get here though.

[softreset]

I figured. Are the other kinds more easily obtainable?
