i woke up with the sun hitting my face
compared to yesterday where i was woken up by loud knocking and was then forced to drink a potion this was a good morning
i stood up and washed my face and today i really looked more at my new home
yesterday after the exhausting info gathering i went straight to sleep
its a small apartment with a small kitchen 3 chairs and one small table is also near the kitchen where i usually eat theres not much in the apartment the only other useful thing is a small clock
to know the time i once again made myself the usual bread with butter
today i sadly dont have a day off i hope i dont need to do this job for to long
i went outside and began to walk to my work i work as a waiter in a small restaurant called noshs kitchen
although i wouldnt call it a good one knowing how unhygienic the cooking is there
i soon arrived at my workplace
"viktor youre later than usual the guests should soon be coming"
"yes boss"
this is nosh hes obviously the boss of this restaurant from the name of it
from viktors memories hes quite thankful to nosh for giving him this job when he needed it
i went and got to the kitchen where i greeted my other coworker josh hes the cook here
he isnt very skilled in it and not a trained one but still okay the bigger problem for me is how unhygienic the kitchen is when i look around the kitchen i see mouse traps because we have a ton of mouse problems i see quite a few flies sitting on the food that will soon be prepared for the guests theres also the problem of the food being quite low quality because it isnt being managed right with no refrigerator and the kitchen also doesnt have any windows so once cooking starts the cook josh will start to sweat quite alot from the memories of viktor even with the smell of meals being cooked he could still smell a lot of sweat from those memories viktor almost didnt want to go to work and just try to steal money from someone else but for now its better to keep things normal for the first while
after 10 minutes the first guests arrived
it was a woman and a man in their 30s atleast thats what they looked like to him
"hello dear guests what would you like to order"
"i would like the fried eggs please"
"and for me please the breakfast special"
i went to the kitchen and said it to josh which soon got to work at that time i have nothing to do other than wait and think i wonder how i should rob louis or if i should try to rob someone more easy first and also if i should ask edward for advice although i have a grudge for him being the reason why im on the abyss pathway he does have more experience and since he hinted at the acting method it does seem that he values me somewhat
soon the meals were ready it didnt look to bad if im honest although both isnt much special its still in the morning so eating something light isnt a bad thing
i brought the food to the table of the couple and went back to the kitchen after that for a long while nobody came the only thing i did in that time was clear the table after the couple left and cleaned the dishes 1 and a half hour later a regular customer comes im not sure whats his name even but he does come here often in viktors memories since hes a regular who also often gave tips which is quite rare in east borough i didnt wait to long to approach him
"do you already know what you like to order?"
"yeah i would like a mutton stew with the extra side dish being bread"
"it will soon come"
in viktors memories he comes almost every 2 days its quite rare to have such a regular
soon the mutton stew was ready since josh only has to cook for one person right now its quite fast
"heres your mutton stew mr"
"thanks"
after the regular ate his food he seemed satisfied and left a 8pence tip although not much for how often he comes its quite a bit
the hours soon went by when noon first came more customers also came and evening even more came although it wasnt to much since theres only me and josh and the boss sometimes helping it was still stressful at evening the kitchen truly did smell like sweat
when the day was finaly over i was quite exhausted but i still need to go somewhere while working i decided that i should ask for some advice from edward and the only way to contact him is through a mailbox fortunately the mailbox was only a 15minute way when i went the i put a letter without anything written on it and then went back home after this exhausting work day but although it was stressful it did feel alot more normal than yesterday
