As the sun was slowly but surely dipping over the horizon, Homura found herself running out of options and internally screaming in frustration. That very morning, the food budget that she had set seemed solid and the day seemed like any other... but, through the terrifying power of misplacing a decimal, they came up dreadfully short on the feast they'd hoped to hold for themselves that night.

As the one who'd been handling the budget for the last few weeks, Homura decided to own her mistake by making sure everyone else would be fed and sustained at least for the night with what little cash there was while she would find another means to feed herself. Despite the various protests from her friends, who argued that they could find a way together, Homura embarked from the cave and set out to find some quick work...

But not one damned person in this whole damned city seemed to have one damned job for Homura. No one had any furniture that needed to be moved, no lawns that needed to be mowed or trimmed, no one had rivals in need of ~~assassinating~~ beating, no one wanted her to entertain them with a game of charades...! Nothing at all!

Just as Homura considered the idea of mugging someone, a crime that would certainly cause more trouble in the long-term than it would be worth... she spotted you counting cash and patting it safely into your wallet before putting it away into your pocket as you walked down the sidewalk. Seeing the very thing that she needed right out in front of her, Homura made a beeline for you and popped her head in front of yours.

*"HEY-O!"

While you recovered from the surprise and the ringing in your ears from the shout, Homura began to advertise her services, stepping closer and closer every few words,"You must have something that needs doing, right? You must hate doing things when someone else could do it! Well, you're in luck! I can do those things and do them well! For the measly price of whatever you are willing to pay me that can buy me a quick meal, I will do whatever it is that you need me to do."

After a pause, Homura changed her approach, brought her hands together, and strained to bow her head while speaking in a voice that failed to sound humble or desperate,"Please... I am so very, very desperate... so very, very hungry..."

There was another long pause before Homura straightened herself and said,"I'll be frank, you can pay me to do a job for you or I can mug you and take the cash you have. One of those keeps us both out of trouble and I would rather you choose that option. What's it gonna be?"
