~ Proto slept through the main portion of the day and now it's almost time for his first shift as a night time dish cleaner ~

Proto yawned as he awakened and opened the pocket watch. ~ A little after 5:30 plenty of time to wake up and get to work ~ He thought and set down the pocket watch and used a shard of mirror to fix his hair and make himself more presentable. Crawling out of his shelter he stood and stretched, his spine and knees popping. After popping his knuckles he made his way over to the gate and entered. Akutil was letting out the dirty water and prepping it for new water and sudds.

" Your early", Akutil commented as he sprayed soap into the warm water and stirred it around till the suds were nice and big, and then washed the remaining soap off his gloves and hung them up." Well it's all yours, enjoy and be careful the gate isn't locked till we close up for the night so people can just walk in" he warned and left without another glance back. Proto grabbed the green rubber gloves assigned to him and began to wash the set of plates that was impatiently waiting for him beside the sink. The door opened and a cart of dirty dishes was brought out and left for Proto to clean.

~ Most of the night was cleaning a set of dishes, setting them on the cart, and moving on to the next over and over ~

Proto was now in the dish washing zone, clean the dishes and put them on the cart and do the next batch. Nothing general had happened beside the sounds of rowdy teens causing trouble on the streets or just basic conversations.... That was until around midnight when the sound of grass crunching nearby caught Proto off guard.

" Heeeeyyyyyy cuiteeeee, waaacha doing washing dishes and not with meeee" a soft and drunk female voice whispered behind Proto. Whipping around he was met with a drunk white girl in a black bikini and underwear with thin, see-through top and pants and jet black hair and brown eyes holding a beer. She was clearly a whore just looking for some desperately drunk guy to shove his dick into her. She stroked her boobs trying to attract Proto." I'm Porsha, baby" she licked her lips and took a sip of beer.

" Mam please leave I'm not interested in any contact with you" he commanded Porsha, but she merely giggled, a string of drool leaking from her mouth.

" Don't be suck a hard nut to crack and let me get a taste of yours..." Porsha reached for Proto. Out of fear Proto swung and hit the whore right in the face, knocking her out cold. Fear shot through Proto as he didn't want to get fired and hauled Porsha outside the gate and propped her up to look like she passed out on her own and got back to washing dishes. ~ I really hope no one saw that ~ he thought to himself as he finished up a plate and dried it off.

* The rest of the night was uneventful till the early morning when a lone crow cawed in the distance *

Tiered and hungry Proto let out the dirty water and refilled it with warm water and soap for Akutil and hung up his gloves since his shift had officially ended. Wobbling out the gate Proto noticed Porsha was gone but didn't really care and headed back to his shelter and laid down. ~ This city is full of surprises isn't it.. ~ Proto thought recalling the nights events before sleep took hold.

* It is now 4pm *

Proto yawned and left his shelter to a doughnut shop nearby knowing they would toss away all the old doughnuts. Proto waited in the shadows for the final worker to lock up and leave before darting over to the trash bin and begin to loot the doughnuts. Quickly as he could he ate his fill and left. Returning to his shelter he picked up a tin can he'd left outside underneath a dripping pipe and assessed the water. The water was cleanish and didn't smell like any chemicals or filth so he took a sip before chugging the rest.

* He would work tirelessly only eating the food scraps off the plates when no one was looking and raid the doughnut shop trash bins for a week till his pay day *
