Anyway, they both get escorted to the building, where they and the boss are accosted by a panda man saying something about a client and no one available to help them, because I wanted to briefly dump this mission on SOMEONE.]
What? Where are Luxanna and Lalli—oh, right, we gave them time off.
[She turns to Yamato and Ichinose.]
Congrats, your first job is now. This should be a simple one enough, at least. Follow me. We'll show you around later.
[She takes them to a waiting room, where she leaves them inside before closing the door.]
[Sitting on a couch is a pink-haired teenage girl with cat ears and mini angel wings. Ichinose and Yamato will know this is unusual—even hybrids only inherit one type of nonhuman traits. In short, she looks kind of like some teenager's Devi*ntart OC design.]
Oh... hello. I've come for advice on how to deal with my... [tiredly] parents.
[She sighs, before gesturing to her ears and flapping her wings.]
Um, to start things off... the thing is—my mom is an anime figure come to life.
[ the first thing yamato does is turn to ichinose to mouth "luxanna and lalli????" because they're here too? did he hear that right? he's wondering if they're the people they know or not when they're suddenly accosted by
that.
yamato, who i have to assume is still holding his baby brother because they didn't get the time to bring him to daycare, closes his eyes and counts to ten. this does not work to hide how he is already annoyed because he's a furry now, so his tail is swishing around and his cat ear twitches visibly. ]
... Okay.
[ this is probably the most tired he's ever sounded in his life ]
Well, my dad is a geek who was... really into the anime, and the heroine in particular. He pretty much prayed and spoke to the figure every day and night, and I guess his devotion was so strong that it turned the figure into an actual girl?
And then they got married and had me.
[She groans.]
Do you know what it's like, having an anime character for a mom!? The cute clumsy heroine type!? She trips over nothing, she styled my hair while I was asleep but then she cried when I didn't like it so I feel guilty if I don't keep it, she wakes me up by banging pots and pans, and she burns food every day! And my dad just smiles and praises her because he thinks it's cute!! Agggh!!!
[... Anyway.]
Watching them just drives me insane, and I'm at my limits. I want to move out, but... [She pauses.] I'm worried that if I'm not around, my mom will trip and break her neck, or accidentally burn the entire apartment down, or...
[ he lost an eye a few days ago, but why couldn't it have been his hearing? so he wouldn't have to listen to all of this?
which is to say yamato looks less and less impressed the more time goes on, and he kind of has to say through gritted teeth: ]
She's your mother and she clearly cares about you, and you think you need to hire a superhero agency for that? So your parents are embarrassing! They love you and each other, and you're sitting here complaining about it?
[ he is both a child of divorce and a cat orphan now, this was never going to end well. he is full on bristling ]
If you don't like how she cooks, you could try teaching her, or learning for yourself. If there's things she does you don't like, talk to her about it. If you're serious about moving out, commit to it! Or admit you don't really want to move out, you're just afraid of telling your parents how you feel because you know it's all petty complaints!
... Okay, I'm assuming you have issues with your parents, and I'm sorry, but—I have told them all of this? The problem is that they won't listen to me at all? My mom doesn't retain anything I tell or teach her, and they say they'll keep in mind what I say and then immediately forget or brush it off.
That's why I'm asking for advice on what to do.
[This is where the panda man bursts into the room as he waves around a clipboard, having heard Yamato yell. He looks a little surprised there's not a fight, but anyway.
He helpfully suggests that maybe she move out to an apartment nearby so she can nyoom back in an emergency, and also buy her parents a fire extinguisher. She seems appeased by this solution.
Anyhow, Yamato and Ichinose will then get a tour of the building (numerous employees coo over SL and promise to take good care of him for when Yamato is busy). They will feel that a day or so has passed, when...]

but I'll save Jan's life and have him sign it without further debating once he's done carefully reading it ]
It looks legit, Ichinose-san.

Looks like we're working together again, Ishida-kun.
[This time, you know, without the creepy hybrid trafficking and gay shaman jail.]

Ichinose stares
and immediately brightens up.]
... Wow! Your mom is an action figure? For real? Now that's something I've never heard before. How does it work?
[Oh, no.]
