[The first thing that one will notice when they see the video is that this man in a suit is very, very blue. Literally. His skin is blue and his hair is the palest shade possible of blue as well. He looks quite serious as he gazes into the camera. Almost intimidating.]

Hello. I have a couple of inquiries to make of those of you here. The first is that I would like to know what job opportunities there are. Personally I would prefer to work at a moonblessed business to offer my support to the owner but I will not be pick. For those who are unaware, I am Hades, King of the Underworld.

And for those unaware of my reputation, I have managed the Underworld for thousands of years. I have excellent leadership qualities as well as the ability to work under pressure in times of great stress. Should you require a resume I will be happy to create one.

[He clears his throat and fixes his tie.]

This brings me to my second point. I will require a nanny who is skilled and understanding in the matter of dogs. I have several and, while most of them can be left at home, a couple require more attention. One even requires medication which I will provide to you. Naturally I will make sure you are well compensated and I will be conducting a very thorough interview.

Essentially if you do not meet my standards you won't be taking care of my dogs.

[With that, he pushes his hand through his hair and gives such a surprisingly charming smile.]

Thank you for your assistance.

He currently can't get to that size but I'll fix that when I get the opportunity to. But yes. That Underworld and one of my dogs is Cerberus.

[Who is currently sleeping at his feet off camera. But Hades doesn't see a need to mention that yet.]

_{[Ohhhhhhh man. Oh man. Oh jeez.

It's almost the same guy--]}

He--S-Sorry, uh... He's... nice, right?

_{[DOES HE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING EATEN??]}

Cerberus isn't one of the dogs that will require care so that point is irrelevant.

[Yep. Cerberus doesn't stay home when Hades goes out. It's just how it goes.]

_{[On one hand? No direct risk of being chased down and eaten by a gigantic dog. On the other hand? He has concerns.]}

R-Right, er...

_{[Okay, just stop thinking about three sets of teeth bigger than he is tall, idiot--]}

What about the other ones?

Are you sure you're qualified for this? Someone who is nervous about the size of a dog probably shouldn't be volunteering for this position.

[THESE ARE HIS PRECIOUS CHILDREN.]

I'm not nervous! I just--

_{[QUICK, THINK FAST!]}

I've been to Greece before and I saw paintings and stuff, but...

_{[Look. Look. It's not a lie if he's actually done it, right? He's just not sure how to explain that he actually met a dog with the same name and everything, because how common are three-headed dogs? Especially with the same name!]}

Size isn't a problem, dude. I had a dragon that got to be the size of a house for awhile. _{[And then that dragon came back.]}

[He squints so hard. So far this one is not impressing him in the slightest. But he also might be a liiiiiittle too hard. Maybe.

(Definitely.)]

What are your qualifications then? How many animals have you taken care of?

_{[Stay cool, Demyx. Stay cool. Don't crack under pressure, c'mon--!]}

Erm... I never actually had animals until I got here, so besides the dragon? That's... kinda it. I looked after some cats before for some neighbors, but I always went over to their place to do it. One of 'em had a dog too-- hang on.

_{[It might not help, but he's going to go right ahead and send a few pictures of said cats. Most of them are in his lap, but there's a few selfies where they're perched on his shoulders, too. Some of them look normal, but there's a few that have colors that regular cats definitely don't have. One even looks like it has fish scales down its belly and on its feet. It's downright alien. The dog? Perfectly normal, save for a missing leg.]}

I think the dragon was the hardest to deal with 'cause... fire, y'know? And he figured out how doors worked when he was only a couple days old.

_{[Keeping him out from under the sink was terrible. Throw in two more baby dragons into that mix and it was a nightmare.]}

[...Okay. Maybe he's a little impressed. Not with the qualifications mind you. However the fact that this person is continuing to remain rather cool under pressure despite his obvious nerves?

Well, that isn't going to be something Hades ignores.]

I see. And if you had to put medication into the ears of an animal who happened to be very energetic and difficult to keep still during the process would you be able to succeed in the task?

[Look. Russell is...a challenge.]

_{[Somehow it's way easier to keep his shit together when he doesn't have the looming threat of a giant dog. Stares? He can take them, even if it leaves him unsettled and a little jumpy.

Perks of Organization work...?]}

...How energetic are we talking? And how big is he? Er, she?

_{[Is he going to get carried off by this dog??]}

One moment.

[Hades leaves the camera for a moment. There's some rustling in the background and about a minute later he comes back to sit down with a Shiba Inu in his arms. The dog is so full of energy and squirming like he doesn't know what to do with all his joy.

There's a moment of fondness from the god before he turns the serious frown back on to direct at the one he's talking to.]

This is Russell. He requires ear drops but as you can see he can be difficult to convince to sit still for the process.

[Said dog is STILL WIGGLING.]

_{[oH WHAT THE HECK!!!!]}

Wha-!? He's--!

_[

_{[THAT IS A NORMAL SIZED DOG AND OKAY. THAT'S. YEAH.]}

Dude!

_{[That serious, scary frown? It mostly rolls off his back, because look at those pudgy puppy cheeks! This might be the most he's smiled in weeks, because wow his face is hurting with how hard he's grinning.]}

Oh, man! Someone that cute? Totally, man. He looks like he's got as much energy as I do during Cordis sometimes.

[Oh...well. That's a nice reaction actually. Hades might even be sitting up straighter with absolute pride.]

He does. Which is one of the reasons why I cannot leave him unattended. Between him and Cordon Bleu they will destroy my place when I have to attend to other matters.

[Still holding his squirming fur child, he continues.]

If I give you strict instructions on schedules and feeding, would you follow them to the letter? Or would you attempt to bend the rules when I'm not looking?

_{[Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy?! You are!]}

Whatever dad says goes, dude. I'll bend people rules but when it comes to pets? I'd lose my mind if I had... I 'unno, a fish tank and I asked someone to take care of it for awhile and they messed something up or fed them the wrong stuff.

_{[It's crazy how finicky some fish can be, and that's partially why he hasn't bothered setting one up here yet.

That, and he doesn't know what he wants in one yet.]}

Regular treats 'n stuff are cool though, yeah? Ones you pick out?

[He'd write down his approval of that comment but...squirming dog.]

That would be allowed unless there were dietary concerns. Luckily that shouldn't be a problem as of right now and they do all get plenty of exercise.

I know a pretty quiet spot by the beach if they ever need to burn off more steam, too. I've been a little bit of a homebody lately, but...

_{[He's been working on pulling himself out of his Woe Is Me pit, one step at a time. This? This is one of those steps.]}

It's super hard to say no to those faces. I got kind of a weird question though, uh... How are they with cats? 'Cause I'm sure you saw in the pictures I've got the ears 'n stuff.

I suppose they certainly will need the exercise now that my home is smaller...

[Does this mean he's seriously considering him? MAYBE.]

Cats will be no problem. They are very good with other animals.
