I. Substory #3 Drifter Grifter

[He looks tiredly at the list of crimes of this grifter and for a moment he wonders if Bradley's out there stealing again? He's probably stealing, but is this specifically Bradley or just some idiot he doesn't have to care about?]

Okay, so what did this guy look like? Did he even have any information or was he just dining and dashing?

[Are there, for some reason, giant windows in your bathrooms? How is this guy getting out so easily?]

II. City of Rain, before hours
[Now more than Ever Nero's grateful to have his shop. An oasis of calm in the middle of the din of Jigokuchou. Of course, the quiet rule doesn't come into effect until the shop actually opens. Sometimes it is nice to be able to talk to his employees without having to write everything down on paper.

He has been cooking a little earlier than usual, but that might be because of the new hire. Bradley? Just somebody from home. At least it's very normal for Nero not to say much about himself.

He does send out a text to everyone who works there.]

Breakfast on Friday at 10 if you want to come early.

Tell me what you want.

III. Wildcard
[Give me another prompt or contact me via discord or PM.]

II.

[potensum]

[ bradley did everything in his power to always be early for work - not motivated by responsibility (although if anyone could tame him, that would be nero), but by the most important thing there is: food.

not just any food, either, but the best there is.

if he could have his way, he'd have his breakfast at nero's place and not the restaurant, but if this is how nero wants things, bradley has no choice but to suck it up and accept it... just kidding. he's gonna shoot his shot no matter what.

just like back home, he'll keep coming back until nero gives in. ]

is this for me too?
cuz you already know what i want
are you still are your place?

[perfectdistance]

[Some people accept a "Stop That", and other people are Bradley Bain who has never stopped anything that he wasn't physically forced into.]

I'm surprised you didn't ask for breakfast chicken.
I'm at the restaurant.

[potensum]

[ you can't see them but his invisible dog ears are drooping right now. ]

breakfast has to be an egg!
helps me save space for later

[perfectdistance]

[You can see it, but Nero's rolling his eyes.]

Right, it's still coming with vegetables. You get them before the egg..

[potensum]

[ NO!!! ]

the hell
i didn't agree to that

[ he specifically decided to forget that part. ]

[perfectdistance]

You DID agree to that.
I'll hold the egg hostage until the vegetables are eaten.

[potensum]

fuck you
i'll only eat them if you cook them at your place, not the restaurant
how's that

[perfectdistance]

The restaurant is my place.

[Absolutely not what Bradley meant.]

[potensum]

your apartment, smartass

[ it's not a word they normally use, okay! ]

[perfectdistance]

Eat your veggies, Brad.

[potensum]

[ if you hate him so much you want him to DIE you should just say so! ]

i want extra chicken later

[perfectdistance]

[What are you so Dramatic for, you're not even a westie.]

If you eat your veggies you can have SOME extra chicken.

[potensum]

[ stop! winning! arguments!!!! let him WIN!!!!!! ]

you can't take that back!
i'm almost there DON'T take it back!!!!!

[perfectdistance]

[No! All he can do is win arguments, Bradley's stronger than him!]

The door's open so just come in.

[potensum]

[ just as he said, he was almost there, so he rushes inside, waving a hand at him and greeting him in his loud, boisterous voice. ]

Yo! Nero! Where's my egg!?

[perfectdistance]

[Oof, so loud.

He points at the dish of carrots and celery.]

That first.

[He is WINNING his arguments today. Or at least the Bradley ones.]

[potensum]

[ he approaches the dish, leaning it to see what's inside. ]

What's this? Food for rabbits? Blegh!

[ he jerks back, immediately lifts the plate and motions to throw the contents on the floor. ]

[perfectdistance]

No egg or chicken if you throw that on the floor.

[He raises up a knife like a threat.]

[potensum]

What!?

[ but FINE! he doesn't throw it away. for now. ]

So no egg if I don't eat it, but no egg and and no chicken if I throw it away?

[perfectdistance]

It's the punishment for making a mess.

[You Big Baby.]

Just eat it so you can have the rest of your meals.

[potensum]

Then maybe I don't want the egg anymore.

[perfectdistance]

How old are you? Six? If you don't eat it now I'll sneak it into the rest of your food.

[potensum]

It's too early for that crap.

Give it to me at dinner, then. I'm gonna hurl if I eat that first thing in the morning.

[perfectdistance]

So you will eat it during dinner? I'm holding you to that.

[potensum]

...

Maybe.
