[ simon will — probably predictably — be spending a good deal of time in the pet shop now that that's a thing. kyoko can find him hanging out at the gerbil pen, watching them run around and sniff the air.
despite the cuteness of the gerbils, he's just emanating a heavy aura of anxiety and notably no joy whatsoever! ]
Oh, I'm in the circus. Hence the, uh, monkey the other day...
Even if I do get some pretty serious stage fright sometimes, it's not too bad... but if I was still doing retail or food service or something, I'm pretty sure that'd be another story.

Are you alright?

he turns around and smiles. ]
Huh? Y-yeah, sure. Why?
no subject
no subject
I'm not really great with anxiety and stuff.
no subject
no subject
I still don't get how you can be so cool about all this stuff all the time.
no subject
Hm... I'm just treating the game like it's work. If I view it that way, and slot it into something I know, I don't feel uneasy.

What did you do for work?

no subject
That's surprising. I'd think being on stage would be much more stressful than bagging items.
no subject
[ shakes his head... ]
Yeah, but customers are real big jerks sometimes... lots of bad managers and stuff tooo.

w5: Monday
Feel like fishing?
no subject
[ it's confidence week so it can't be that hard!! ]
no subject
Have fun.
no subject
[ he takes it and then just kind of looks at it like uhhhhh ]
Um... you need like, bait for this, right? Do we have that?
no subject
[ But she will look around for anything that looks like bait. ]
no subject
[ could have fooled him... ]
I think there's usually, like... worms or little feathery things...?
[ or so cartoons have led him to believe. anyway he will also look. ]
no subject
[She does find a little feathery thing after some rummaging. Surely this does work?]
no subject
[ oh, feathery thing! ]
Oh, yeah, I think that's it! And then you just stick it on your hook, I guess.
no subject
no subject
[ yay, they can each grab one and stick it onto their respective hooks.
all right, time to... uh... cast...? he thinks that's the right verb. ]
I guess we're not going to have convenient shadows in the water to show us where the fish are like you usually get in fishing minigames.
[ since it's. pretty dark down here. ]
no subject
[Two people who've never fished in their lives.]
no subject
[ but all right, here he goes!!
thankfully neither of them are qualified to know whether that was a good cast or not. anyway, it's in the water, so that's something. ]
