Just one more go, please?

@hcvthn

Depression can be one hell of a drug, and not the fun kind...though Jia was never one to partake in them aside from alcohol. It'd become just one of those dreaded nights, one where that heavy feeling sunk into their chest like a brick and it wouldn't go away, it'd just grow steadily heavier until they'd just resort to a bar to numb it. The divorce had been hard on them, it'd been so goddamn unexpected too which doubled the pain in a way...though knowing the marriage was deteriorating wouldn't have been a cake walk either in any regard. Any way you put it the whole thing had been an ugly shit-show with nonsense at its center.

None of it mattered now, they have a great relationship with their mom who shares in the belief of pro defiant and their asshole of a dad up and vanished. Maybe it did matter. Drinking to cover these things up couldn't be healthy and Jia knew that but who had time for therapy in times like these? So once again they wandered into the Lux/Nox nightclub for just enough to get themselves drunk yet avoid the black out range. It was such a nice loud and distracting place, the bar practically calling for the brunette to take a seat on a stool which they did eagerly. "Could I get a-" The server cuts them off with a knowing smirk that Jia returns. "No need, I know your usual. Comin' right up." With a nod of thanks they settle in for a good long night.

Every once in a while their gaze flicks toward the gambling area, a place a bit dangerous for them as they tend to spend more than they should. It's not like they're lacking in finances, but drunk Jia doesn't care while sober Jia very much regrets it he next day...along with any possible hangovers. Still, it's enticing enough that they keep looking even while taking a swig of a simple lager. "Mmm..."

Just another day on the job

@kal0ps1a

It was a little after the typical lunch hour when Jia could be found doing one of the jobs they'd occasionally need to do as the right hand of the Matrix, oversee employees inside the store owned by the huge corporation. The Cyber-Maison store had all the android or human could possibly want, from cheap computers and consoles to a repair area. It had skilled workers running the floor as well as stock and each register or desk, and it was Jia's job to look around in a sort of inspection type of thing. They didn't assume they could fire or hire anyone, but rather make note if anyone seemed to not give their all or slacked...if someone repeatedly screwed up numbers. Those would end up reported to Xingwei, their boss, who had the final say on what to do with each case.

Sometimes the brunette wondered if part of the reason he'd send them there was due to a slight intimidation factor, a higher up appearing at random could lead those who might slack to work harder and give off a good image. If it were scheduled they could prepare then get lazy so Jia prefered entering when least expected. Have them all on their toes to keep things running as smoothly as possible, as expected for the store as well as the Matrix though very few knew they owned it.

After giving a nod to a flustered stock worker they headed toward the repair section, stopping short upon seeing a very familiar face enter the store. Unlike most people they'd greet, Xie got the most formal of introductions each and every...or at least until he'd straight up told them to just call him boss or Cai, the latter making them cringe slightly but it's what he wants. He hadn't ever come off as a cruel man toward them so really it was just overcompensation on their part anyway, personal preference. "Hello boss, anything I could do for you? I was just about to check the repair area but I can do something else."
