Silly me!

(He just laughs at himself,)

It depends on the flower but most of these are more expensive than the ones up front. They don't look as nice, either.

[leveling]

These feel more like home, though.

[ It's really impressive that they have the technology to persevere flowers, but it also feels like people in this world are missing the point. ]

I have 10,000 kryptos on me. Can I get a small bouquet for that price?

[cranekin]

325 kryptos.

(He holds out his hand with the wrist implant,)

Consider it... an early bird sale.

[leveling]

[ More like wingman sale. ]

325 kryptos? Aren't you missing one zero here?

[ That's a good deal, but he needs to make sure. Jinwoo doesn't want Tsuru to get in trouble because of lowering the price too much by accident. ]

[cranekin]

They're flowers.

(That's it.)

And I'm feeling hungry.

(325 kryptos is enough to by a nice parfait from the convenience store.)

[leveling]

[ Whether Tsuru likes it or not, Jinwoo transfers him 3250 kryptos. What's better than one nice parfait from the convenience store? Ten parfaits. ]

I think you're very hungry. [ That's all he has to say on the matter. There's no way he can leave the flower shop without making sure he pays enough. ] You are one of the Outsiders, right? Your powers...

[ Something about Tsuru's aura is different, but he can't really pinpoint what it is. Also it might be a bit reckless to ask directly, but it's not like anyone is around, so maybe it'll be fine. ]

[cranekin]

(He doesn't realize until the transaction is complete and he looks visibly surprised, eyes going wide and looking up at Jinwoo as if to make sure if that's right. He didn't ask for this much but... ah. He can tell it was on purpose. He sees and he makes sure to remember this.)

... I'm not from here.

(And innocent enough answer but if Jinwoo knows then he'll understand it's plenty confirmation.)

Are you also from out of town? This area is very nice, you know. It's quiet and there aren't as many people around. It's a nice place to relax.

[leveling]

[ Loving the vibes of this action will have consequences in the brackets. ]

Out of town? [ It takes a while until it clicks. ] Ah, yes. I guess.

[ Did it really click, though... ]

I might drop by more often. Are we... supposed to do jobs?

[ Guess who's new and unemployed. ]

[cranekin]

I've seen others doing work outside.

(But most of them seem to have jobs that actually help society. Medical work or keeping things safe.)

As for me... I was just bored.

(And he wanted to get away for a bit.)

[leveling]

I thought we'd be doing more fighting...

[ Why does he sound disappointed? Because he is. He didn't have to work back home because he was a hunter who made money in dungeons. ]

How did you land this job in the first place?

[cranekin]

My, eager for a fight already...

(Didn't he just get here?)

How? It was assigned to me along with... another name.

[leveling]

[ He sure did... but fighting monsters is his job and now he's forced to find a normie job while doing some fighting on the side. That's a lifestyle change, if you ask me. ]

Assigned? [ Oh. ] Does it mean that I... ?

[ He should be working right now??? ]

[cranekin]

You didn't know?

(Ooooh he knows that look and he's pouncing on it like a tiger,)

You've probably been fired already.

(PROBABLY NOT... these jobs seem to be pretty laid back???)

[leveling]

Makes sense.

[ Time to accept the fact that he's jobless. Too bad that he doesn't even know what the job was... oh well. ]

Have you seen any funeral parlors around here?

[ THAT... sure is a question. ]

[cranekin]

Do you have plans?

(Why...)

[leveling]

Plans? No, I need another job.

[ Tsuru... what did you think about... ]

[cranekin]

What kind of job? You know, if you're going to bother the dead, I won't be able to forgive you.

(Working with death requires respect.)

[leveling]

Uh... then maybe I'll look for something else.

[ Trying to revive dead people probably counts as bothering... not that he can do it after the nerf in the first place, but he still wants to try and make sure. ]

[cranekin]

(SQUINTS...... he's judging you, Jinwoo, and it takes a lot for Tsurumaru Kuninaga to judge.)

I'm the only one allowed to get funny ideas here.

[leveling]

Okay...

[ Should he explain that the 'fun' in 'funeral parlor' doesn't stand for anything funny or...? ]

I'll try to get my old job back, then. Wait, I should be able to check it with that ocular thing.

[ He keeps forgetting about the technology, oops. ]

[cranekin]

(He huffs... and settles back in. He can relax now. He'll let Jinwoo slide. For now.)

The ones who summoned us here will also pay after you've carried out your duties.

(Which Jinwoo probably hasn't experienced yet...)

These jobs will help you earn enough until then.

[leveling]

[ FOR NOW. ]

I'd rather go kill some monsters, but...

[ And what are you going to do with the carcasses, Jinwoo... ]

No funny ideas.

[cranekin]

(Why did he add the "no funny ideas" there. )

I think you should share your ideas.
