Chapter Text
“Mom, Dad! I’m off to my interview!”
“Break a leg, Gees!”
“Good luck!” His parents cheered.
“Thanks, see you two later.” Gigi left the house and walked down the street.
He headed down a side street and knocked on the door after making sure he had the right address. He waited a minute…and another…and another…until the door opened and he came face to face with his potential employer.
She was trying to catch her breath as if she had finished a marathon. Her appearance matched it, all disheveled and he caught the hat that fell off her head.
“Do you want another minute, Miss?” He asked.
“No…I’m…good…Just…tell me your name.”
“Gigi Murin, at your service!” He saluted.
“Fantastic, you're hired, now help me!”
She grabbed her hat from him and went back into the house. Gigi followed and saw a summoning circle with a person floating in the middle of it. They were creating a tornado inside the house that was spreading papers and books everywhere.
“So I’m guessing this isn’t what you wanted?” Gigi asked over the wind.
“Not really no.”
Gigi maneuvered himself to the book and chanted something causing everything to stop and the person fell. They got up and ran out of the house while screaming for help.
“Rate us 5 stars!” the woman yelled.
She sighed and looked at Gigi who had closed the book.
“That was awesome! How did you do that?”
“I have a friend who knows a lot about this stuff. She gets it from her mom.”
“Well thanks for saving my reputation.”
“I don’t know about that. That customer didn’t seem pleased when they left.” Gigi scratched the side of his face.
“Yeah but they found it in their creepy attic and read the forbidden text. I just made it worse.”
“That’s something. I guess. So since I got the job, can I ask you what your name is?”
“It’s not on the flyer?”
“I zoned in on the phone number and address. I really needed a job.”
“To answer your question, my name is Amelia Watson. My friends call me Ame.”
“Am I allowed to call you Ame?”
“We’ll see. So why did you need this job?”
“I’m not, as they say, the ideal employee. I’m loud, brash, and I barked at the customers so that doesn’t mix well as a restaurant server.”
Amelia muffled a snicker. “Why did you bark at them?”
“Because they were being jerks to others so I barked at them to make them uncomfortable and leave. I gave them plenty of warnings.” Gigi justified himself.
Amelia snickered more. “Where’d you learn that from?”
“That’s besides the point. I needed a job, now I have one, and now you’re stuck with me for at least a week.”
“I suppose you’re right. Though, the position of being my assistant is a difficult one. Think you’re up to the task?”
“I never say no to a challenge!” Gigi declared.
“Then it would be my pleasure to work with you, Gigi Murin.” She held her hand out.
“The pleasure is all mine, Amelia Watson.” Gigi took her hand and shook it.
Gigi bursted through the door. “I got the job!”
His parents jumped at the sudden noise and looked over from the couch.
“Congratulations!” Shiori said.
“Want me to cook something special?” Mococo asked.
“Can I have brownies for dessert?”
“Ok, but do not eat them all. I don’t want you to get an upset tummy and miss your first day.” Mococo said.
After getting acknowledgement from Gigi she went into the kitchen to prepare the oven for the after-dinner treat.
“We should tell the others.” Shiori said.
She took out a pair of scissors and cut a hole to her pocket dimension and pulled out a notebook. This notebook was different from her other ones as it wasn’t used for spells or documentation, instead it was used to contact the others in case they were not in range of today’s modern technology. After she finished writing a message in it, she pulled out her phone and sent a text in the group chat.
“Gees got a job! Finally, he can start paying rent.” Shiori texted.
“Finally employed again” Gigi responded.
“Wait, I thought he had a job???” IRyS responded to Shiori.
“Got fired for barking at customers.” Bae wrote.
“I think they deserved it.” Nerissa texted.
“Most likely, but he still got fired.” Bijou responded.
“Damn, just when we were getting to become unemployed bffs.” Cecilia texted.
“I can quit” Gigi responded.
“Do not quit your job!” Mococo yelled from the kitchen.
“Nvm, Dad said no 😔”
“Damn straight.” Mococo texted.
“Damn gay, you mean Moco-chan 😏.” Fuwawa followed up.
“Congratulations Gigi!” Raora texted.
“Love, you’re literally in my lap.” Liz responded to Fuwawa.
“And I can get up just as easily.” Fuwawa texted.
“…Please disregard my previous message.” Liz wrote.
“Daaaamn clocked!” Gigi reacted.
“The Council congratulates you on getting a job Gigi.” Omegaα texted.
“Wait, when was Omegaα added?” Bijou asked.
“OMG, thank you so much Pop-pop!” Gigi responded to Omegaα.
“Mumei added them yesterday.” Bae responded to Bijou.
“She also added Ina and Gura.” IRyS wrote.
“You’re Wahnderful Gigi!” Ina texted.
“Let your boss know you mean business!” Gura texted.
“I will!!!” Gigi responded.
“Do you guys think I should tell my babysitter?” Gigi asked.
“Nerissa will let her know the next time she goes down to hello.” Raora texted.
“Hell*” Raora corrected.
“Stupid autocorrect. Am I not allowed to say where my girlfriend is from?”
“Not if they’re from hell…or Georgia.” Bijou texted.
“What happened in Georgia?” Raora asked.
“The Devil chills there from time to time. Something about a fiddle, idk.” Nerissa responded.
“Are you lighting my gas right now?” Liz asked.
“Noooo, gf got up. I’M SORRY!”
Fuwawa Abyssgard and Elizabeth Rose Bloodflame have gone offline
“Ope, trouble in paradise. Now’s my chance~” Nerissa wrote.
“You’re sleeping on the couch tonight.” Raora responded.
“Wait NO-”
Raora Ninomae and Nerissa Ravencroft have gone offline
“I should go too. I need to get back to work.” Cecilia texted.
“I thought you were unemployed” Gigi wrote.
“She means our kids.” Beijou responded.
“OOOOOOOOOOOH what’s the number at now? 5?” Gigi asked.
“Why are you counting???” Cecilia texted.
“IMMERRED IS SEIZING!”
Koseki Bijou and Cecilia Immergreen have gone offline
“Oh, mb yall I didn’t do it 🫢”
“We have no proof that that’s true.” Bae texted.
“Although we also don’t have proof that that’s untrue.” Ina responded.
“Come on, Gigi is a lot but his chaos can only reach so far.” IRyS texted.
“In any case we should probably go help them.” Bae responded.
Hakos Baelz and IRyS have gone offline
“Congrats again Gigi! Try not to bark at customers again this time.” Gura texted.
“I just watched you eat an entire bag of dog treats.” Ina responded.
“Am I not allowed to give advice anymore!”
Ninomae Gura has gone offline
“Brb, wife upset.”
Ninomae Ina’nis has gone offline
“While we’re here, we should discuss your punctuation, Gigi.” Omegaα texted.
“No”
Gigi Murin has gone offline
“Dinner’s ready. I made grilled cheese with ham.” Mococo stepped out of the kitchen with plates in hand.
“Brownies are in the oven now.” she added.
The family ate together and Gigi wrote down what he should text Raora and Ina in the morning. He didn’t want them right now as evidence from the group chat. He hoped this new job would stick, so he could start repaying his parents and the others for taking care of him all these years. He wanted to show how thankful he was to everyone.
“Are those brownies?” Amelia asked.
“Yes, my dad made them. Do you wanna try?”
“What ingredients does it have?”
“Um eggs, fake chocolate, a little bit of vanilla and sugar.” Gigi listed.
“Fake chocolate?”
“My dad can’t have real chocolate. Sometimes she still eats it, then my mom has to rub her stomach to help ease the pain.”
“Oh ok…Wait what?”
“Are you gonna try the brownie or not!”
