002: Trying to be Optimistic

[handsforhealing]

So... I've figured out that I'm stuck here and I already have an apartment room.  I'm in room 204... Is my room mate here? I think her name is "Jeanne".   It'd be nice if I could meet her.

Since I'm going to be here a while I guess I should get used to it.  For starters, I suppose I need a job.  Does anyone here know if there are jobs related to mechanics? I'd be happy to give it a try!

Oh! And my name is Winry! It'd be nice if I could make some friends to keep me company here.  And if you need anything I'm happy to help however I can! If I'm going to be stuck here I want to at least be helpful.  I'll do my best.

There is a job listing downstairs. I do not believe there are any mechanic jobs open at the moment, however.

I see... Well, I'll definitely check the jobs list anyways. Thanks!

[thelostseraph.livejournal.com]

No need for thanks. I am Ledah, by the way, an assistant chef.

Wow! That sounds like it must be a rough job. Unless you're not cooking for everyone here...

Pretty interesting you'd ask about a mechanic job. You see, I actually happen to be the maintenance chief here. Unfortunately, both the other maintenance worker spots are filled, so if you want a job you'll have to go elsewhere. If you want, though, I can try to let you know when one opens up.

Yes!That'd be wonderful! Thank you so much!

Hi! =D

My name's Bridget. There's a few jobs left for people to take. Nothing involving machines, though...

[handsforhealing.livejournal.com]

I see...
Well, it's nice to meet you, Bridget!

W-WINRY?!

Yeah... That's my name...?
Is it strange?

[asu-e-no-basho.livejournal.com]

Er, n-no! Not at all! Definitely not!

Well, do you need anything?

[asu-e-no-basho.livejournal.com]

Er, no! Not at all! I just... uh... wanted to... welcome you and... uh... help if you need anything!

[handsforhealing.livejournal.com]

I see...
Thank you so much!
I can't think of anything I need right now... I have nothing to repair so I don't need any tools... But thanks anyways!
... Do I smell grease? And what's that sound...? It sounds like metal gears...

[asu-e-no-basho.livejournal.com]

Haha... R-repair, right... I'll... I'll buy you tools if I need you to repair something, okay?

Huh?
Oh no! I could never ask you to do that! I'll find a job to do until a mechanic spot opens so I can buy my own stuff! Don't worry about it.

That sound... that smell... it has to be.

By the way, do you have anything mechanical on you? With gears and grease?

[asu-e-no-basho.livejournal.com]

N-n-I mean... er... y-ye--

IT'S NOT BROKEN! Yet.

[handsforhealing.livejournal.com]

Can I see?
Can I can I can I?!
I won't break it I promise! I just want a peek~!!!

[asu-e-no-basho.livejournal.com]

O-OI, WHY DID I KNOW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN...

F-fine! But don't do anything weird!

[handsforhealing.livejournal.com]
