 You coughed and shivered crying had done a number on you mostly leaving you feeling numb and empty. A hollow inside you that didnt seem to want to heal, a sense of loneliness nibbling at the back of your mind. You couldn't keep going on like this, it wasn't going to last, you needed to find a place that would hire you no questions asked, and pay you under the table. You knew it wouldn't be legal that kind of work rarely ever was, but it was needed. You needed to do something other than what you were doing.

Stretching out you took a deep breath rolling your shoulders, you couldn't believe you were gonna do this, but hey you figured why not just try for it? No harm in trying right?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You know it has come to your attention as you stood in front of a very particular theater that this may not be your best idea... but the thought of any kind of money to get soap or god forbid new clothes was far too tempting  What the fuck did the pig put in those noodles?!

You didnt want to know. Taking a deep breath you entered inside blinking at the dust that made you sneeze at first and sniffle. Man, it was quiet... maybe you should just go for a different job?

"Can I help you?" you jumped and spun to face the one who spoke not even gonna lie about it when you heard that voice, you knew who it was, and your skin crawled, this was his territory and you walked right into the lion's den. The Hooded figure of Macaque stood with a smirk, teeth showing, the more demon parts of you that took up your instincts now not liking it one bit only adding to the skin-crawling feeling you had. Among several factors, as you stood he had most if not all the exits blocked, between his speed and magic? He held the cards, you didn't have shit.

"Y-yes I was wondering if you were hiring? I am looking for a job, I can work the ticket stand or the snack counter?" you smiled no teeth, you read enough about monkeys using teeth as a warning and you didnt want to see if that counted toward demon monkeys. Though you had a feeling with the way he walked over that toothy smile growing and however fiber of your being was telling you to run it was the same.

"And if I am hiring?"

"I would like a job please I can start tomorrow, I won't be late I will be right on time every day and I am a hard worker"

You watched the Demon tilt his head as if thinking

"I guess I could use a snack counter worker" you breathed a sigh of relief your shoulders stooping just a bit as he stopped moving forward "But"

You stiffened up again ready for anything he would toss at you

"You are gonna need to lose the hoodie, after all, we shouldn't hide amongst ourselves right?"

Oh shit, you walked right into that and fucked yourself didnt you? Yes, you did.

And you didnt really know how to get yourself out of this problem
