[So, one day Vince woke up and found out that he wasn't a barber anymore. Cool, cool, he's always one for a change, can't do the same thing for too long. So, he went to go find out where he was gonna work for now on.

And entered the land of his darkest nightmares.

You will find Vince at the butcher shop in various states of catatonic shock. He might

[This is Miku visiting her not!dad at the butcher shop. Gotta congratulate him on his new job, after all--wait.

...What on earth is he doing with the freezer?]

...Vince-sama?

[numanstan]

Stay away, Miku!

Stay away!

[perfectvoice]

Is something wrong?

[numanstan]

It's just not somethin' little girls oughta see.

[btw in his eyes you're like eight]

[perfectvoice]

[Better not tell him she's actually four, then. Jeez, Vince, overprotective much?]

I'm not a little girl! And what are you doing, anyway?

[numanstan]

[HE HAS LOST SO MUCH AND SO MANY /will never admit he's a mother hen ever]

Just workin', that's all... And y'so are.

[perfectvoice]

You don't look like you're working. And no, I'm not! See?

[She puffs up her chest as if to prove her point. Which sorta fails, 'cause her chest isn't as ample as she'd like it to be.]

[numanstan]

I'm at my place of work, so I'm workin', got it?

... [doesn't even know man]

[perfectvoice]

[Er...right, sure. She's got the feeling slamming the freezer door doesn't count as working.]

Okay.

[That one failed. Spectacularly.]

[numanstan]

... 'Sides, y'shouldn't have to work at places y'don't like.

[perfectvoice]

Why don't you like this place?

[No, she hasn't figured out you're a vegetarian yet. Who talks to animals.]

[numanstan]

I've sorta got a thing against servin' up the dead, bloody body parts of things that might've once been my friends. Dunno if that makes me weird or somethin'.

[perfectvoice]

[You have forever scarred her with that mental image, Vince. Enjoy.]

N-Ne, nobody should have to go through that!

[numanstan]

[good now maybe she'll stop buggin' him 'bout shit]

Exactly! And that's why I hate it here.

[perfectvoice]

[Maybe. Maybe not.]

Can't you just not be here, though?

[numanstan]

If y'don't go into work too much, y'get droned. Same thing with school, so don't go missin' too much, alright? A few's fine, though, and skippin' works if y'don't get caught. [best dad ever]
