[ The feed reveals one apathetic looking guy. His hair is particularly eye catching, though, being a white color and wavy. He seems to be checking in from home, and by the looks of his attire, it looks like he's in traditional Japanese attire. The guy looks well built and fit, but what seems to be a giant bowl of ice cream is before him on his table with a mound of strawberries on top of it. It looks like he's in the middle of breakfast. Would you call this breakfast? It is for him.. because nobody is here to stop him. He raises one hand as a greeting, though he's sluggish in movement. Get it together, Gin-san! You're basically in the middle of an interview! It's really hard to do this because he usually has two subordinates that introduce themselves with him. Needless to say, his introduction has less vigor.. probably because he's on his own again. ]
Yo. Sakata Gintoki is my name. It's been awhile since I've showed up here. Aaa, they gave me a job when I first got here, but that didn't work out. Tch, it's a shame, really. What do they expect from me when there's no motivation? I ain't Ch*hiro on a quest to save my pig-turned parents, oi!
[ He pauses to take a good bite of the ice cream, a smile finally appearing on his face solely because it tastes so sweet and good. He twirls the spoon idly in his hand as he continues. ]

Are you a professional part-timer or something?
...Some of these jobs don't even sound real.
no subject
You'd be surprised what people will pay you to do. I'm mainly listing what I have experience doing, but hey, you never know if you're into something until you try it once.
[ Don't make it sound gross. ]
I'm a freelancer. Been doing it for years.
[ Before that, he was a legendary samurai hero, but then he with all the other samurai ended up jobless with their new government. ]
no subject
Some of these jobs are pretty out there, so completely unrealistic that he can't even imagine this guy dressed as a 'OFFICIAL SANTA CLAUS' or an 'OKAMA ENTERTAINER' --
...
Okay, maybe he can sorta see that last one. ]
No offense but 'Paper Towel Sniffer' sounds a bit far-fetched. Did someone really pay you to sniff their paper towels? [ DOES HE REALLY WANT TO KNOW? ]
no subject
[ Edo isn't exactly the most normal place anymore. ]
Somebody like you could probably use me for something. Like maybe a better hair cut.
[ Is that an insult?? Oh no.. forgive him, he doesn't know about your sensitive hair. ]

no subject
...I know I need a haircut, so you're right.
But my hair is really sensitive, especially from around the shoulders up. Even touching it can cause a lot of pain.
no subject
Sensitive, huh? Gintoki believes it— he's been around all sorts of weird people and aliens and ghosts and demons and yeah.. he's learned to just go with it. ]
Ever think about just getting it shaved bald? Like Kr*llin? Removing your hair entirely through surgery so it never grows back? Yeah, sure.. it may hurt really bad at first, but then you won't have to worry about it.
