Unemployment?

It's when you lose your job wrongfully and the government keeps paying you while you look for a new job.

[piteous]

they really thought of everything where you come from.

anyway, IKEA isn't hiring. 😔 i will have to live my afterlife unemployed.

[camena]

idk There are a lot of rules so it's not as helpful as it COULD be but. Sure. Better than nothing.

You could work at the photo place? Take people's pictures for them and set up rooms or something.

[piteous]

is that the new area? i haven't checked it out yet.

kinda weird of all things a photo place is what shows up.

[camena]

Yeah! It's pretty fun. Kind of cheesy.

Why's it weird?

[piteous]

well, for one, never seen a place like that ever. feels like i've been robbed. 😖

[camena]

I'd never seen one either until today.

At least now you can? We could take some pics together if you want.

[piteous]

i would love that!! we could decorate future housing with a bunch of pictures!!!

[camena]

Oh great idea!

Are you free now? I'm not doing anything.

[piteous]

i'm free as a bird. 🦅 not much to do yet.

meet you there? 🫡

[ and she will be outside waiting! woo! ]

[piteous]

Alex!

[ And he's here with a wave! They can walk in and... Wow. This studio really is the real deal. Me looking at it like is this what influencers use. ]

... This is... A lot?

[camena]

[ she waves back!! ]

It is. It's kind of dumb, but... I dunno. Fun, too!

[piteous]

What matters is that we have fun, right?

[ He takes off his sunglasses to put on some star sunglasses instead. He passes her shutter shades. ]

[camena]

Exactly!

[ she puts the shutter shades on. and then starts looking for an ugly hat to go with it. ]

Do we have a theme for the backdrop?

[piteous]

[ He's checking the backdrops right not, letting them fall down one at a time for her to see

through

her shutter shades. Going to read the labels: ]

Bubblegum pop, Cars, wild west, red hot heat, lemon zest, summer vibes... Any of those speak to you?

[ He says after putting on a cowboy hat. ]

[camena]

I vote summer vibes, but I'm flexible!

[ she has found a very big sunhat, though. so she puts that on. ]

[piteous]

Summer vibes it is.

[ And here is the tropical backdrop... Vash takes a moment to look at it. ]

This is supposed to be the ocean, right?

[camena]

... Yeah. It's like, the beach.

[ a look of mild concern... sir... ]

[piteous]

[ .............. ]

Desert planet.

[camena]

Right... Two suns?

[piteous]

Five moons.

[camena]

Well then if you had an ocean, the tides would be crazy.

[piteous]

Gravitational pulls and stuff, right? Our sand seas can be wild, but... I don't think they're easily influenced by our moons.

[ He puts on a matching sunhat. ]

Okay. Direct me. How do you become... "Summer vibes."

[camena]

A sand sea sounds cool... But I [ a weird pause ] like the ocean? [ WHY IS IT A QUESTION

anyway ]

We've got hats and shades, so I think that's about it. The other thing would be swimsuits, but—even if that was an option, uh, no?

Oh! Inner tubes and floaties! [ SHE IS RUMMAGING to find him a flamingo tube. ]
