Day 5: Resources and abilities

–

Where did they learn their abilities? 

Most of the things that Hakuba knows he learned either in school or from professionally taught classes and tutors after school and during the holiday breaks. No real shortcuts here; just good, honest hard work. Fortunately, his family has had the funds to back up his many intellectual pursuits. 

If they have an income, where does it come from?

Although still in high school, Hakuba does quite a bit of work on the side. Most of his income comes from the private consulting work that he does as a detective. He collects monthly retainers as well as per-hour fees, all of which is billed and invoiced at the end of the month. It’s worth noting that he also works with the police force for a set amount of hours per week (depending on school), but all of that is an unpaid internship, anyway. 

Do they have a job? Do they like it? How do they feel about their co-workers? 

As mentioned previously, yes, Hakuba has a job. A couple of them, really. He enjoys the consultant work quite a bit; actually more than the police work if he were to be honest. But he has decided to ignore that part. Still, working as a police officer’s assistant (in the homicide department, of course, working with other investigators) definitely has its perks. Which includes his co-workers.

Hakuba, for the most part, genuinely enjoys the company of the officers and respects them and what they do. He doesn’t feel entirely like he fits in, per se, but they’re kind enough to him… though he can never be sure if it’s because of his own conduct and merits as a detective, or if it’s because he’s the son of the Superintendent General.
