A. HEROPA - GREEN SPACES

Those enjoying the outdoors might find Yato in parks and public garden areas this month, tenaciously picking up each bit of trash or rubbish he comes across and shoving it into a bag. In deference to the gorgeous weather, he's tied his tracksuit jacket around his waist, and the green-and-yellow t-shirt emblazoned with MULCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING LAWN CARE SERVICES explains what he's doing for the most part.

He appears to be in good spirits though, and might strike up conversation if he notes another imPort nearby while he's on break. "Guess if it's this warm in May, this city is in for a hot summer?"

B. DE CHIMA - DOWNTOWN

Yato's job at the Costume Emporium isn't that exciting, even for someone who puts 110% into most of what he does just for the recognition. It doesn't help that his boss seems to be especially susceptible to the normal problem of people interacting with Far Shore denizens - that is, it only takes him a few days to start forgetting Yato, which leads to the god having to explain at least once a week that yes, you hired me and no, I'm not making this up and look, just check the payroll, my name's there.

There's been a small bump in business since it's prom season in the United States right now, and costumed and themed proms are getting popular, but there are still slow periods. It's during one of these that Yato is hanging out on the doorstep to the shop, alternately looking for people to pitch a sale to and pulling out his phone to flip through the network.

C. NONAH - STREETS

Occasionally his jobs lend themselves not only to doing the work he's hired for, but for his own advertising as well. While handing out brochures for a new company in Nonah - bearing a logo for Marco's Polo League - he's slipped one of his newly printed business cards into the folds of each pamphlet, and here's hoping that someone decides to give him a call. Between bursts of pedestrians, he's walking along the street and tucking the pamphlets onto the windshields of cars, slipping them under doors and dropping them into mailboxes.

Be prepared for a practiced patter when he tries to pawn the brochure off on you: "Good afternoon! Marco's Polo League, rated in the top 15 of the Eastern House Tier District, is now accepting new players and you could be their new star!"

D. MAURTIA FALLS - SKETCH(Y) ARTIST

When he's between jobs though, Yato tries to get to know the Porter cities better, and sometimes spends time doing some urban sketching, which he... actually seems decently adept at. However, he's also clearly using the fact that people tend not to notice him to his advantage, and the position he's taken up -- not on the bench but just near it -- is proving to be prime spot for eavesdropping on conversations that likely would not have been happening if the people had realized there was someone sitting mere feet away.

Yato spins his pen around in one hand after what had definitely been a clandestine meeting of two people in an affair. "Man," he winces. "That accountant is in for a shock when he gets home..."
