Matt was walking about East Capitol, trying to find somewhere to work, he was going to need to find a job if he was going to supply himself with new clothes, and maybe a way off the planet to visit his home planet for a small bit. However, not many employers were very willing to hire a near-naked saiyan. Imagine that. Most of the time, the promise of recruitment would end up with them talking about him needing a domicile to live in before receiving compensation for work. Oh great. Matt was feeling a bit down on his luck, he just wished that gaining a job would be as easy as pledging his hardest work in exchange for being paid, however, it seemed like he'd need to be a bit more... employable? But for that to happen he needed a job in the first place. Eventually coming across a shipping yard, Matt flew up to a shipping container, sitting atop it taking a moment to himself to recharge and redouble his efforts.
"Hey! You can't be up there kid!" A man called out, shouting rather crossly to matt. Well, that was kinda confusing as from comparison matt was near the same age as this guy! Did he just look this young?
"Sorry! Ah, I didn't know I couldn't be up here!" he flew down, startling the man somewhat. "I've been looking for a job, but I mean- no one's givin' me a chance so I thought i'd take a break for a second."
"Wha- Of course, they wouldn't hire you, you're near half naked other than the- are you wearing dead leaves?!"
"... Maybe?" He said coyly.
This seemed to annoy the man to no end, with him looking like he was searching for words to describe the level of disappointment he was encountering right now. "Y- I ju- I mean ya c-..." He went silent for a moment, holding his face in his hand with exasperation. "Ok. Flyboy. Listen, I'll be right back just. I dunno... You see those containers you were sitting on?"
"Yeah?" He asked, walking back to them and putting his hand on one.
"In the back, there's a forklift that one of my workers needs. I'm going to run back to get you a uniform so you're not barechested. other than your... foliage fashion got it? The guy wears a blue construction helmet. Like mine" He points to his own, yellow helmet. "get it to him okay?" The man, reluctantly handed Matt the keys to the forklift "And for gods sakes be careful with it! There's no fury like a supervisor scorned alright?!" He shouts back as he jogged away.
Matt blinked looking on with a mix of confusion and curiosity. "a-...Alright!" He looked at the keys, then looked to the forklift. [What do I do with these?] He thinks to himself. He only decides to pocket them, flying up into the sky for a bird's eye view, straining to look for a blue blip below him. Fortunately, he found one eating a sandwich in a rather uncomfortable looking makeshift chair in the form of a metal box. Matt then flew down and picked up the forklift, it had some heft to it. Unfortunately he hadn't practiced flying with a forklift so he had to do the task carrying the forklift manually over. To the delighted amusement and bewilderment of bystanders. He set the forklift down in front of the sandwich eating man, nearly giving him a heart attack. He pulled out the keys and tossed them to him. "Hello! The uh, yellow hat guy said you were asking for this!" To which speak of the devil! The yellow hat man ran out with his supervisor with thier expression a mix of shock and concern, as well as being slightly upset in the case of yellow hat man. He ran over to Matt and shouted "I MEANT DRIVE IT YOU DINGUS! HOW DID- I JU-... You know what, fine. sure ya did your job i-" He sighs, covering his face again "I swear working's been harder on us normies ever since super-powered freak o' natures like you guys have shown up... Well, good job anyways."
The supervisor, while somewhat concerned was brewing a rather time-saving idea. He walked up behind the man, and tapped his shoulder, motioning for him to get back to work. The man nodded, gave Matt a look of 'Good Lord' and walked off. The Supervisor, however, approached matt "Hello, I'm the Supervisor of this operation. My name's Kevin.-"
Before he could get much in the way of a word in edgewise Matt smiled and waved to him "Hi! My name's Mattenes! you can call me Matt!"
Kevin just kinda- nodded and kept speaking "Listen, you're a danger to this site, but. I do see that you wanna work hard. I have a little sister who works as the manager of a pizza delivery location. I can put in a good word for you, and you just have to be quick and efficient. Gotta be quick enough to be in multiple places at once kinda deal." He laughs a bit, though matt not laughing in response and just kinda looking at him in surprise forced a cough out of him trying to get to the point "Anyways, go there tomorrow, i'll have said somethin' about you by then. and ah- later come by for some kind of a compensation. you may not be a worker officially but it doesn't feel right not helping a kid like you out with financials. I've been there." He turned before Matt could correct him in saying he was nearly 21.
Well, that's one way to possibly get a job. Hey! maybe matt could actually have sufficient clothing now! h-hopefully.
