Sleeping on the Lounge couches wasn't making D.J.'s life easy. He has been lacking sleep the last couple days because of it. The Lounge was open 24/7 and folks took advantage of it. D.J. couldn't wait to go to work and come home with some simoleons. One of the Lounge patrons offered to sell him a tent they didn't need anymore. D.J. was grateful. He woke up yawning and patting the couch thanking it for its usage the past couple days and hoping he wouldn't have to use it for a place of rest anymore.
D.J. hasn't had a shower or bath in over two days since he arrived to Mt. Komorebi. It started to show today. Kids at school were calling him "Smelly Nelly". It was just yesterday he was being the funny one at school and today he was being made fun of. It made him feel uncomfortable because it wasn't funny to him and he was feely a bit grungy.
The bartender of the Lounge told D.J. that the only public showers were at the Sutefani Onsen Bathhouse in Yukematsu. It was located at the bottom of the hill. What a relief for him. He was glad he didn't have to go to work and feel icky on his first day. First impressions mean everything. He seemed to already have made a good impression on some of the townsfolk as he made the Lounge his home pretty much the last couple days. It went as far as getting phone numbers from others in case he wanted to talk or needed help. The people of this town were really friendly.
The bathhouse was beautiful, D.J. had thought. There was even a hot springs available for guests. He didn't have time today, but he needed to come back and enjoy more of it. He wished he had found this first before the Lounge and Bar. He could have napped here. It was less crowded and had more of a cozy feeling.
D.J. stripped down and changed into one of his bathing suits he brought along. Compared to the weather outside, the water here was warm. It felt good on his body. The soaps the bathhouse provided made him feel fresh on the inside and out. Yes, he was definitely going to revisit the onsen again.
As he continued to freshen up for his first day of work, D.J. received a text message on his phone. It was from one of the patrons he met at the Lounge. She wanted to wish him luck at his new job. Even though he got some positivity before heading out, he was still a nervous wreck. This was his very first job, afterall. He tried to put a smile on his face when he left the bathhouse to go to work, but he was just too nervous. He would have to pump himself up on his way.
D.J. had a solid good average day at work. After receiving his uniform of a blue polo, blue jeans, and blue shoes, he was put in charge of the baby area. Mostly he had to stock the diapers as they were the first to leave the shelves. As he kept restocking, they kept disappearing. But his manager took notice and so did the customers. The shelves were never empty or looked empty.
After work, D.J.'s pockets were finally jingling with simoleons. He called up the Lounge patron who offered to sell him a tent. Sadly, it was not enough. The patron would bargain but had a minimum price he needed to stick with. He wanted a little over 400 simoleons and D.J. only made just a little over 100. It looked like he would be sleeping in the Lounge for a little while longer. D.J. was also getting uncomfortable having chips and water as his constant meals. Maybe this was something he would work on first; getting better food in his stomach.
