[The feed starts sometime during the morning, on a rooftop on one of the many buildings of sector one, all wind and daylight. Castiel is wearing an expression that might mean that he is disgruntled, eyebrows crinkling, lips in a thin line, the works. He is also, as usual, staring very, very intensely at the screen. Like it holds the answer to all

[Hello, my son.]

Don't state your age unless you have no other choice. Doesn't go over well, here, I think. It's unsurprising, of course, but can still be troublesome. You look like a young man, and so that's all you need to say. Identification can come later.

I have learned certain things about clothes, I've been taught. I think button-down shirts are supposed to be good. We should buy clothes, I also need a new dress, I think. Perhaps a jacket, I think that would be good for you.

[It is Shijima, Educator of Integration. The timing is quite perfect.]

Hello, Shijima. Shall we meet?

[It is better to discuss these matters in person, he believes.]

[video]

[heartdissonance]

Shall we? If you'd like to, I most certainly have the time.

[video]

[ilikeburgers]

Yes. Where shall I meet you?

Voice.

You could ask that they pay you up front, in cash, but you probably won't get as much money. Identification - there should be someone you can talk to, in the government buildings. Maybe even the local library.

How much older than the manager were you, anyway?

Voice.

[ilikeburgers]

A lot older.

[Think of a digit somewhere around the mid-billions or something.]

The library is able to forge an identity? I am unsure which government buildings you are refering to.

Voice.

[zealouspeter]

... Did you give that number?

And, not forge. But sometimes, just having an official card with your name on it will work. [ pause; playing expert in a field you don't understand at all takes some time. ] The DMV, I think.

Voice.

[ilikeburgers]

... yes. He was not pleased.

[A pause.]

Perhaps a library card will work. I am told if something official does not work, the Black Market is a present alternative.

[Another pause.]

DMV would stand for ... ?

[hexyoutotuesday]

Heaven boy, do you need fashion advice?

[audio]

[ilikeburgers]

It would seem so, yes.

First and foremost? Lose the trench coat. It just screams that you beat up guys in dark alleys for a living. And if you're going to be doing inventory work, you don't need to be so formal. Jeans and a polo shirt would totally work for you, and if you're wearing dress shoes? Lose them, too. You need street shoes or some sort of work boots. Basically, you need to look just like everyone else.

Keep the hair, though. You have nice hair.

[ilikeburgers]

[Is it possible to tell just how surprised he sounds at this suggestion. And getting praise for nice hair? Well, that has successfully made him shuffle a little awkwardly.]

I ... had not been aware my current attire gave off such an impression.

[Forlorn? Yes. He does not beat up people for a living.]

You don't have any form of ID? Maybe someone in one of the offices can help.

voice;

[ilikeburgers]

No, I don't. Which offices may that be?

[ Kakashi just... sighs. ]

You can probably get identification by going to the Black Market in the Underground.

[ A pause ]

And I would suggest something like a... t-shirt and jeans, for working. And more comfortable shoes.

[Video]

[ilikeburgers]

A young woman will assist me in choosing appropriate ... footwear. And 't-shirts and jeans'. I will mention what you have suggested to her.

[A pause.]

Obtaining a bank account is what pushes me to acquire this 'I.D'. Someone has suggested that I can collect my 'pay' upfront. Is this an available option?

[Video]

[ura_no_ura]

Unfortunately, the laws that regulate my store require me to have employees on actual bankroll. What I could do is open another account and give you access to it.

[ilikeburgers]

I understand. It is more that the amount of detail required is something I cannot fill. You people would consider it ... a joke.
