Narration

'That's... interesting...' the man said, clearly perplexed by what Neito was describing, "Well son, I don't know how... useful... that is here, but half the people who show up here dont return my calls, so, do ya know how to run a register and can you learn to make coffee?"

'wait a minute....' the man is starting to catch on now that you're using the thesaurus on his line of work... he shrugs it off and tells you that you can start tomorrow.

Well, besides the starbucks you are in, the nearest place is a subway. You order a sub and eat it.

You really don't have the money to be spending on fast food and expensive hotels. You need to find a cheaper place to spend the night, and should start buying from a grocery store.

It's half past noon now, and you don't have any clues to lead you forward.

I look in central park for clues as to why so many people are afraid and teammates.

After arriving in central park, you realize it's a very large place and you'll need to narrow down your search to somewhere more specific.

Perhaps the best way to find out why people are scared is to ask them directly, but that could also be incredibly naive. Maybe a more subtle conversation would work.

Narration

(I don't know why there would be, but I'll make something up)

Neito wanders across a stage performer singing a song and playing guitar while his cute dog sits with him. His guitar's open guitar case is sitting there collecting bills while people sit down for a while in the fold-open chairs.

The man is playing on a slightly elevated makeshift stage. He has made 400 dollars today when you count the money up quick. If you want to buy it off of him it would take some convincing.

The man looks at you awkwardly and says, "You know any folk music? Because that's all these calm men and ladies wanna hear".

Narration

Neito, for some reason, thinks he can out-sing a man who has made hundreds of dollars in tips in under a day. He begins to sing the national anthem. It's a warming gesture, but it's nothing spectacular.

The man nods sympathetically in rythym with Neito, and then pulls out his guitar when Neito finishes.

"Oh say can you see" he begins, but something is different... the anthem he is singing is a remixed version of the normal one, and is incredibly pleasing to the ears. He sings with such passion, he might as well be George Washington himself, once he finished people applaud and he gets another 100 dollars in bills. He bows his head and thanks you for coming on stage tonight.

He goes back to playing guitar. Something is odd about that guitar.

Central Park

I think to myself that it is a stand and when the performance is done I decide to greet him and say that I am in a choir group. OOC:(true fact)

"Well, if you keep practicing, you'll get there" he says, and begins to pack up.

Narration

"That's a pretty odd question to ask a stranger, are you alright in the head lad?" he asks,
shuffling uncomfortably. "I never say no to someone in need, but if you got parents, you should be askin them for this kind a stuff." he tells Neito.

"I spose ya could, but its not somethin people do no more. If you're in real need, I can give you a hand" he says, fishing in his guitar case for the money the people placed in there, he hands you 500 dollars, "there ya go, i got enough to get by, so i'll be fine. Just don't waste it, okay?"

he begins to leave

(you can look around or look up total pigsties of hotels, because that's all you can afford. I dunno why you chose this route, or why you thought we could maintain realism when a high schooler is living in nyc for 2 months. I hate the idea of making you work a job, but I'm kind of loss with how to keep you off the streets.)

(I don't think you understand how money works... or at least are not considering it. Also, you have to stop with posts like that one. It's one sentence that described days (at the least) of effort. We can fast forward if we need to, but you can't do things like that. You also ignored what I said about not having money)

(I don't know what you mean by making it it's own anime? If you're referring to the Story so Far, I'm doing it in manga format, which is pretty similar (a couple chapters generally make an episode))

(I'm going to try something, that I hope doesn't upset you, I'm gonna do some work on this thread and try and show you how posts should be written, and what should and shouldn't be posted here)
