-5 days left until the next greenie-
Fry was humming a song in the kitchen, making breakfast alongside Jack, when Alby stopped by.
"Keepers Gathering, Fry, come on," he hurried to wipe his hands on his apron and lower the heat of the stove, leaving Jack in charge of the food and muttering at him to not burn it.
They walked together to the Gathering room, where every Keeper was sitting on his respective chair, even Gally had come downstairs since his ankle appeared to feel a lot better now.
Newt, who had been standing by his spot to make sure everyone stayed quiet, saw them walk in and sat on his chair as the Second-in-command, Fry doing the same after closing the door behind them, while Alby walked to his chair, his arms crossed over his chest.
"I called this Gathering because there's something we have to discuss," no one spoke a word, staring at their Leader as he continued, "The greenie is still jobless, so we're gonna fix that."
Some Keepers perked up on their seats, ready to give their speech about 'why the greenie should come under their wing'.
"Okay, let's start."
After Alby's call, he sat down and let one by one speak their mind and opinions about (M/n), and by the end of the Gathering, Alby and Newt had no idea what to do. Everyone -or the majority- wanted the greenie working with them, which did cause some discussions here and there.
"Alright, everyone... Guys..." Newt tried to make them quiet down with no successful results, and Alby stood up.
"Slim it," the deep grumble of his voice made them lower their voices until there was complete silence in the room, "It's clear that everyone here wants the greenie working with them, and arguing is not gonna help us at all, so..." Every pair of eyes stared at Alby as he spoke, "Let's just ask the greenie."

"So... I have to pick my job..." (M/n) whispered to himself, making sure he understood what Alby and Newt had told him on their way to the Homestead.
It was breakfast time and both of them knew that the greenie would not be eating, so they took him straight to the Gathering room after enjoying some early breakfast, courtesy of Fry and Jack, while the rest of the guys enjoyed their meal in the dining area.
"Yes, and... It's up to you to pick which one you want," (M/n) frowned and looked at them, crossing his arms.
"I thought I would be getting sent somewhere to work, what happened?" Thanks to Mikah, (M/n) knew that the Keepers were the ones to pick the greenie's job, so this was news to him.
Newt shifted in place and put his hands in his pockets, "Yeah, that was the plan, but every Keeper wants you to work with them."
(M/n) blinked as the heard the word 'every', as in... "What do you mean by every Keeper...?"
With a sigh, Alby answered his question.
"From Runners to Sloppers want you with them, greenie," he was shocked, feeling like he just received a compliment, but grimacing at the mention of the Sloppers.
"So like... Fry? Winston? Gally?" With every new name he muttered, a nod was his response, making him release a deep sigh as he thought for a few seconds about what he wanted his job to be, "Well, uh... Builders then, and I could... Fill in for the other jobs if anyone needs an extra hand?" He frowned with uncertainty as he asked, and it seemed to be a pretty good idea, seeing as both Leaders nodded in agreement.
