It had been a particularly long and stressful day. The customers who had come to the flower shop had been demanding and their attitudes sour. More than once he had been shouted at and called unmentionables but he had done his best to face it with a brave face. Now the day was over he couldn’t help but breath a sigh of relief. At least it wasn’t his brother, a fight would of definitely broken out if he was here.

Instead the younger Matsuoka brother was staying at their family house for the weekend. Leaving Shinya to stew in his emotions alone. Silence fell over him and another weary sigh leaves him as he briefly leaves the shop floor to grab a glass and a half finished bottle of wine. Reaching the counter a glass is poured and several needy mouthfuls are taken before he finds himself slumping back down on the surface.  Resting his head against his forearms and lightly nuzzling into them. He still had some book keeping to do but at least he had booze now and no more customers.

No more customers....That had been a mistake. The little jingle of the bell announces someone’s entrance and he doesn’t even look up. He had totally forgotten to turn the sign to closed. Fearful to even look at them at this point he mutters. 

❝We’re shut for the day. ❞

Wanted: Roommate(s)

Pink slips had become a common sight for Ken'ya.  It wasn’t that his work ethic was poor or that his schedule was bad.  In fact, his referential recommendations often expedited his hiring process.  Simply, he was just the easiest to cut when downsizing.  

And he knew this.  It was routine for Ken'ya.  Acquire slip, pack bags, interview for three days, find a place, work six months, get another slip.  This process had slowly pushed him toward the region of Talia, where he was once again looking to start anew.  This time, however, things felt different.  Confident, for one, but something unplaceable about Talia had allured Ken’ya.

For the time being, he was staying in Faniti, seeking refuge at Faniti Cove. The hotel was beautiful, but bustling due to the season. Today in particular, Ken'ya was feeling overwhelmed by the activity. Extensively wasting the hotel’s black ink, Ken'ya spent the morning creating an advertisement for himself. Walking always cleared his head, and today was the perfect day to post some papers around town.

Exiting the computer room and making his way out the front door, Ken'ya spotted a bulletin board by the concierge’s desk. He scanned the ad one final time before pinning it to the hotel’s board.

Wanted: Roommate(s) or short-term housing

Hello.  I’m a male in his late twenties searching for a short-term rental. Currently unemployed, but I am seeking and would have no trouble making payments. I intend to rent for a two month period, possibly longer if I land a permanent position and we get along.

I function primarily during the daytime, but that is prone to change. Regardless, I tend to keep to myself and am fairly quiet; I wouldn’t wake you up if our schedules clashed.  I am non-smoking, do not have pet allergies, and am open to discuss prices. If you are offering housing,  my only request is that you have a functioning shower and are able to provide enough space for a bed.

If you’re interested, I would be glad to meet up for coffee. My contact information is (###)-###-####, or —–@——.—. Ask for Kobayashi.

## mun note under cut

## Hey there! I just wanted to add a note letting everyone know that any replies to this doesn’t have to result in Ken'ya becoming your muse’s roommate.  I figured it would be an easy way to have Ken'ya meet some of the inhabitants of Talia.  If you’d prefer Ken'ya to become (or not become) roommates with your muse beforehand, let me know!
