Work Text:
Hello there do you like fih
...My family has been struggling for a while, and I need to get them money.
I looked out for job applications, but most of them were for baking, and I-- suck at that... •3•
I reached out to my friends for ideas .. And I don't even know how I forgot that I like fishing! ^ . ^°
And so, I spend some time working for this... Random dude that sells fishes- I don't even know if he sells them or not, I think he eats them.
The system works like this; For every big fish that you catch that sells, you will get the payment! But even if you don't catch any good fish, You still get paid monthly. ^-^
That sounds like a great system, so I work here daily!!!!
I found some cool mates by the name of Meili, Jiyu and Estabr0k. And I-- would love to be their friend!!!! 𐔌՞. .՞𐦯
I have a beautiful girlfriend named Caatlyn, so by mates I mean friends! ^^
So today, I'd like to reach out to them. But... The problem is... I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY!!!! 0.0... So I'll just... Freestyle this like the bold man I am...
They always hang out near dock 7, since Meili is always near dock 7. But none of them ARE at dock 7... Our boss said dock 7 is ... Reserved, but the guest never came. Which is suspicious.
But that's not the only thing that's suspicious, the pay is higher than usual for... Just fishing. I talked about it with Cate, but she suspected nothing, said that our boss is just generous and that I'm overreacting... I- I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE NOTICING THIS?! Σ(O_O；)!!!!
Whatever, now's break time, so I have time to reach out to the others...
"Hello, I'm Walli!" ..I really can't think of something creative... I'll just have to go with my normal bold introduction...
"Hey, Walli! What's up? I'm Meili. You can call me Mei-mei." She said it in such a sweet, welcoming tone it made me scared... She scares me!!!
"These are my friends, Jiyu and Esta. We've been working here for about a year." She clarified confidently.
1 Year!?!?!?! I've been working here for only 4... She's clearly a veteran, and I don't know how to feel about that.
But the info isn't terrifying, just awkward... ⚆_⚆
"Is there any reason you started working here, or is it just for fun?" Meili asked, her confident smile still on her face...
I don't know how to respond to that question- I don't...
"I don't want to talk about it.."
...
AGAGAATHHHR WHY DID I SAY THAT?!? Now I just sound depressed when- I'm clearly not... (❁´ω`❁) #stayconfidante
"That's completely fine, neither do I. We all have our own backstory, and sometimes it's never worth to share, so be it!"
I... Never heard that from someone... Is this Estabr0k guy really auraful?! Or even scarier, even bolder than me ?!?!? (｡•́ - •̀｡)
(NOTE: KINDNESS ISN'T TO GAIN AURA POINTS OR ANYTHING, KINDNESS IS TO CHANGE A NEGATIVE FEELING IN ONE'S HEART. IF ANYTHING, DON'T TAKE WALLI'S WORDS SERIOUSLY, KINDNESS IS SUPPOSED TO BE HONEST. <3)
"Do you guys have sushi?" Jiyu asked his friends, changing his posture to look at Meili.
"No, Jiyu. Sadly, we don't have sushi." Meili explains to Jiyu in a slow pace, as if he's a little toddler learning the ABC's.
" :( " -Sad Jiyu
"We can make some at home."
" :) " -Extremely Joyfil Jiyu
"What a dork." I could hear Meili murmur that extremely clearly....ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ
After some time, we had an amazing conversation together. And... I forgot to ask them to be my friends!? That was the entire point we started talking... Whatever, hopefully she gets the hint.
Hopefully...
HhhopefulLy......
Meili walks away.
NOOOOO!!!!!
"Actually, Walli..." The sound of Meili suddenly calling me shocked me for a second...
"I hope you come here daily, because maybe you can be my friend?"
...
That....
"That would be cool. Sure!"
She did get the hint! Awesome! ( *˙ω˙*)و
"We'll be going home, goodnight Walli." She handed me a tiny pocket-sized chocolate bar that will definitely heal my appetite.
But before I could say "Thank you" she was already gone. Maybe I just stared at the chocolate for too long... ╭( •̀ •́ )╮
I'm back at this stupid fishing place. I'm not complaining though, it's pretty chill.
Me and Meili talked on WhatsApp for a while. She said that she, also has a girlfriend.
Her girlfriend is called Merku. According to her, she is extremely hot and beautiful and that she loves her very much. (Vice versa) That's cool. #lesbianyuri4ever
Meili invited me to go fishing with her at ... Dock 8. (WHICH IS VERY CLEARLY NOT DOCK 7)
Maybe I should ask her what's up with Dock 7, since she's a veteran. She obviously knows more than me...
Hey....
"Hey, quick question... What's up with Dock 7?" I asked her out of curiosity....
".... I don't know. Boss always told us a different excuse everytime we ask. But I definitely know something's wrong." She told me with this awkward look on her face.
"But... Even though I was curious, I never tried fishing there. Since Boss always said it's reserved. But in this year that I've been working here, it seems the guest never came." She continued.
"I do want to look into it, I just never bothered or I didn't know when..." She closes her eyes and sighs reluctantly.
"I, obviously will look check it out before the world ends." She says sarcastically, though it was obvious she wasn't joking.
"Why not look into it now?" I asked Meili with wonder.
"... You're right! And you could help me!" Help her...? She wants me to come with her? ... But I'm scared!! 030
"Come over here at 9:45 p.m., me and the others will be there too!" It was very obvious she planned this on the spot, but she was very excited. So I couldn't just... Well, decline the invite.
I'm...
"I'm not too sure about this.... Do you really have to drag me along? ⌢⌣⌢"
"Yes! You're still our friend, right?"
....
Ah...
"Yeah, obviously... Thank you.. :) " I may have forgotten we were friends... I imagined her thinking of me as a stranger..
It seems not--- thank you.
"You don't have to thank me, befriending isn't a favour, it's supposed to be literate."
Meili too?! I didn't know this friend group was so kind... (,,•﹏•,,)
"See you there, I have to go to the café real quick." She waves me a goodbye before going. Goodbye, Meili...
LATER, AT 9:49 P.M... (I'm lazy to write allat ༼◔ɷ◔༽)
I came here a bit late, but it seems that Jiyu is as well.. Only Meili and Esta are here currently...
But usually, Boss doesn't let us go in this late and just tells us to "Fuck off" and that "It's dangerous to be here so late" because "Who knows what kind of fish will get you?" ... But not this time, I wonder why...
As I approach them, Meili turns to me and waves at me with a welcoming, excited smile.
"Hey, Walli! Glad you aren't late, unlike Jiyu..." She whispers like what dude thinks she slick I HEARD THAT
"Hello, Meili.. Hi, Esta. Where is Jiyu, actually?"
"Jiyu said he was sick or whatever, but I know he's just a little scared. So I texted him saying that his "illness doesn't matter." and that "You're just a frightened baby with excuses." Meili explained, but I'm a bit concerned- what if he actually is sick? Actually, that doesn't matter, she's right.
Next thing I knew he was right beside me.
"Hey, guys! Sorry I was a bit late...!" Jiyu gasps while desperately grabbing his knees out of exhaustion.
"Dear god, Jiyu. What happened?" Meili asks Jiyu out of concern.
"Sorry, dude... I had to take an uber but none of them wanted to drive me here because they saidthattheydon'T- INHALE recognise this place and they said that it wasn't ongooglemaps SO- INHALE I had to run over here..." Jiyu explains in a panic.
Wait, they don't recognise this place...? It wasn't on google maps..? That's creepy and mysterious. Because theres a lot of posters for this place saying "We are hiring!" Are you serious...??? That's so scary!!! I wonder what ponders in Dock 7 because-- that's probably the first sign!!! This place is haunted and- and I should get outta here immediately!!!! (;ó﹏ò｡)
Nah I'm just overreacting
"Okay.... What first? Maybe let's look around the place for suspicious activity!" Meili bursts out, pointing at Dock 7 with her finger. (NOT WITH HER TOES)
We looked for a while, but we (Meili) found nothing. .... Okay, fine.. We did find some weird stuff but it's nothing important.
"Guys, I think it's safe to fish here." Meili proposes.
"Why don't we do a 'test-drive'?" Esta, like the bold man he is, gives the idea.
"Oh, you're right! Therefore, we are the pro 'mythbusters'!" Meili accepts.
And so? We sat there, fishing. Waiting for a fih to come get the bait.
Oh, I feel one.
"Oh, guys I got one!" it's a bit heavy, but I'll just pull it. Hey, if it isn't poisonous, my family will get a big feast tonight!
"Come on, Walli you got this!!!" Jiyu cheers, staring at me with gleaming, sparkly eyes like the dork he is.
...
"I got it!" There, I had it! A big fish. (I DON'T KNOW FISH NAMES GUYS SORRY!!!)
Woah, I actually did it!! ( \*￣∇￣*)7
"Nice job, Walli! That sure is a big fish you have there." Thank you, Meili! I greatly appreciate that.
Wait..?
