So, uh. A job, huh?

[So much for preamble. A mumble:] Guess this isn't a paid vacation.

Man, it was tough enough keeping up with the one back at home. There's no way the market can be easier over here, right? It's pretty tough, being a rookie without ever getting a chance to graduate...but there's gotta be some desperate guy out there

They're serving vegetarian burgers at most places these days, I think.

Though are you more adverse to flipping burgers because it's disastrous, or because it's low-wage?

[implausibility]

They are?

S-see! I knew it! I was a visionary back then! But nope, the guy didn't listen, and now it's his loss. Chances are, the joint's run to the ground by now. Bet it doesn't even exist anymore, all 'cause they were...vegetarian-discriminate!

[Whoops did he totally avoid that question.]

[aviatarian]

You should still be a visionary now! Although it looks like you're holding yourself back from getting a steady job, so it's understandable if you lost that talent.

[implausibility]

I figure burgers just weren't my calling.

[A sigh.]

We can't all work in the fast food business. Come to think of it, though, you're pretty passionate about the grim and greasy. You work in a burger joint?

[aviatarian]

Most can't even work in the food business.

I was just a student back in middle school, actually. I should really get to finding something around here... [ahem.] But, what about you? Police detective...?

[implausibility]

That's right - Detective Adachi, at your service.

...Or 'was,' that is.

[Sounding rather put out:]

Talk about a fish out of water.

[aviatarian]

The police could really use some help. They fund the training, too, I think. It's not even that long!

[trying to be uplifting. tone-wise.]

What... if you don't mind me asking, what kept you from finishing before?

[implausibility]

Finishing?

[aviatarian]

"A rookie without any chance to graduate."

[implausibility]

Oh. Well. Y'see...I was gonna show the guys back home what I was capable of, but then...

I was sent here. Hard to show people things when they're an entire world apart.

[aviatarian]

Ah! That's true. The timing of being pulled here seems to become more and more inconvenient for everyone.

1/3

[implausibility]

[A dry laugh.]

Heh, well, if everything were always convenient, there'd be something wrong with the universe. I'll recover! And then I'll become an ace detective, you'll see.

[Can you hear the thumbs-up in his voice?]

[implausibility]

Meanwhile, uh...that is...um.

[implausibility]

Your name, kid?

[aviatarian]

If you're really set on it, I'm sure you could be.

[being honest.]

Kouichi Aizawa, mister...?

[implausibility]

Adachi.

[Similarly honest.]

Anyway, as I was saying, you should focus on your studies in the meantime.
