003 // [video/open to action for any passers-by]
[The picture is somewhat skewed where Kaiji’s NV is resting on a pile of garbage bags-probably the best place for it given the state it's in by this point- and covered in little flecks of soapy water. Kaiji himself is rather more than splashed and looks very cross and very damp. In his hand is a mop and he’s standing in front of a convenience store in the appropriate uniform.
Somewhere in the back of his mind, he’s aware that, in spite of the mental peptalk he gave himself about starting a new life, he’s still washing windows for a living. Huh. Still, he's got bigger problems now.]
So I’m out in three days?
[He glances over his shoulder to make sure his boss (who has already told him he has a bad attitude) can’t see him slacking off.]
Anyone know any cheap places around here? Or until I can afford it, how long can I put off rent with the place I'm at now? I’m not getting paid until-
[At which point he steps a little too far left and ends up with one foot calf-high in suds and cold water. Deep breath now, Kaiji. He shows great restraint by not exploding into a fit of screaming and swearing, instead just talking through very tightly gritted teeth and trying to look like he doesn't care.]
... you don't wanna sleep on the streets out here from what I've heard.
