Even after the reboot, I'm still trapped in the wrong anime!

Gonna nix this one, mostly because these are options Holden is offering, and he doesn't think he needs a bouncer, especially if it clashes with the aesthetics.
 
And your new job is:

    You inform Mr. Holden, that you are indeed able to cook.

    Really, who needs social interaction?

    "Well then, welcome aboard, uh..." It seems he's just now realized you never introduced yourself, which you quickly remedy by letting him know you are named Argus. "Right then. Well, I'm not gonna dump a rush on you, so we'll wait until the weekend to get you trained up. See you bright and early Saturday!"

    You nod and walk out, hearing him muttering to himself. Something about astronauts? Whatever. You should probably head back to McMilliken's place around now.

    You take a lazy meandering path back to the residence when you hear a melody on the wind.

    It isn't exactly catchy or anything, and yet for some reason your fingers are trying to twitch in time with the song.
    ????? (Perform): 2,5,10 = 2 successes

    You clench a fist to stop the twitching, and give a full body shudder, shaking off the music. Dusk snorts in contempt, resisting whatever it was easily.

    Argus (Discipline + Fortitude): 1,3,4,8,10 = 2 successes. Resist successful
    Dusk (Mystic defense): 4,4,8,9,10 = 4 successes. Resist successful

    "Well well well, I'd heard there was a mortal that was capable of resisting the song of the Band of Vubrathy, but I thought it a mere tale..."

    ?????: 5,6,10 = 2 successes
    Argus (Perception + Intuition): 2,3,3,8,8,9 = 3 successes
    Dusk (Perception + Intuition): 2,2,6,10,10 = 4 successes

    The voice echos, seemingly coming from far away and nearby at the same time, yet both you and Dusk snap your heads in the same direction, spotting a strange lady sitting on a nearby roof. She seems taken aback by how quickly she was spotted, seemingly trying to recover her wits.

    You
    [ ] Ask what she wants?
    [ ] Get up close and-
    - [ ] Punch her?
    - [ ] Speak with her?
    - [ ] Say nothing, trying to intimidate her without words?
    [ ] Flip her off and walk away?
    [ ] Something else (pending GM approval)?

    Also, can someone roll me a d5?

    Like… a bunch of stuff is going to go down on the same day "this is all happening on a Tuesday" or I was just rolling for the day of the week "this is all happening on a Tuesday"?

    You were just rolling for what day of the week "today" is, by Today, I mean the school day plus applying for a job. It's already been a couple of days since Argus and Dusk arrived. Also, three more days till job training!
     
    [X] Get up close and-
    -[X] Poke her in the forehead with two fingers before saying "Sorry, but we'll have to fight some other time." Then walk away.

    Combat is a form of social interaction among Sentai and Mon characters.

    Edit: changing votes for a more memorable encounter.

    Bow I know it's bad to judge a book by its cover but it's obvious that the woman is evil. So yeah punch it.

    Lets have a chat, learn a bit more of this Vubrathy and what exactly she wants.

    Violence is not the answer, violence is the question.
    The answer is yes.

    Feeling kinda ambivalent on the Itachi thing here. If someone feels like justifying it, make your case.

    Establishes a General Air of we can Take her, but we aren't doing it today because we have other problems. It feels better than being a guy who automatically starts a brawl without understanding the situation at every oppertunity. This one hasn't neccessarily done anything wrong as far as we know, and curiosity itself isn't a sin. If she decides to escalate then we try to handle things as usual. Otherwise, it's a cool way to engage her and warn her not to engage us, and plays as an awesome reference that has the bonus of making us sound badass. Also she is trying to recover her wits, and a good forehead poke and our words are strange enough to sabotage that completely.

    Don't care much for the forehead poke.
