[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.

[How dare you? He did amazing? MAYBE?

At least Eros is someone reliable for her to live with. Even if he'd rather it were himself instead. But that's a whole other bag of worms.]

The apartments are so small. The sooner I get out of this place the better.

[So he can have room for his dogs and the ever hopeful thought that he might one day live with a beautiful pink goddess.]

[ MAYBE. The dogs are probably getting more brownie points tho...

Especially Cordon Bleu. That cutie is Eros' type of pupper; high maintenance and loud. Just like his m---man, look at the time. ]

I'd suggest that they're more like prison cells but I really don't get the sense that the locals have any real idea why we're here. It's a little sad though. There's hardly enough room for me to even throw a nice party for networking purposes. [ "Networking". Mhm. He shrugs and continues. ] Hey, do you have a roommate yet or are you flying solo?

[ Eros is protective of said pink goddess at least. There will be no orgies in the homestead. Duel-wielding Sanguis blessed in a tiny apartment might bring its own challenges, but none that will actually stop Eros from trying to see what he can do in terms of smashing this OTP together. ]

[He knows you mean orgy, Eros. He knows you do. Once upon a time he knows he would have been tempted by one too. Of course he's also aware this isn't a temptation. It's just part of his nephew's nature.

Anyway...]

There really isn't room for anyone else in my apartment unless they were to share my bed with me. Which really isn't option. So it's just the dogs and I.

[Nice Cordis god who is going to find out soon what being a Cordis means...]

[ How could he not when he's got the big Z for a bother -- I mean brother? The only difference between how Eros and Zeus throw an orgy is that Eros is usually single when he attends one but we're not shaming. We are, a little. Shh. ]

You should let me take Cordon Bleu shopping for cute outfits.

[ He just dives right on in there, doesn't he? Obviously the tiny one is who is taking up the most room. Can't stretch those long legs with a tiny ankle biter. ]

Meanwhile, if you need help looking at properties so you can have an idea of what funds you'll need, I could be of assistance. I scratch your back, you scratch mine.

[ A mutually beneficial partnership, really. He can see apartments and maybe Hades can find a job with a side of nepotism. Win/Win. ]

[That properties part is important but he's about to make such a face at you, Eros. SUCH A FACE.

The face that says "But my other babies..."]

...what about the other dogs?

[He'll get back on topic soon. Really.]

[ Hades, why did you have to go and do that face of all faces?! Eros is not immune to 'wounded and marginally betrayed' and now he's going to be broke.

Time to rectify that, but here doesn't go into that. Instead, he sighs inwardly. ]

I'd gladly take them, too, but I'm going to need extra hands...

[He doesn't always know the power he holds, Eros. He really doesn't. (At least not with these matters.) Not even that the way his face lights up over his dogs getting spoiled.]

They would love the attention, of course. Only a couple of them are problems though, I promise you. I can arrange play dates for you to take them, of course.

[ It isn't the worst thing he could be stuck doing. his response is kinda baity. Just a little. ]

I think I remember that Perse had really good luck with your [ small herd ] friends. Maybe I can convince her to help find the best treats for them.

She's pretty good at handling things like that.

[ What's with that smile? Eros. Friend. ]

Do we have a deal then?

[ you know, the other thing they were talking about. ]

Very well.

[Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaause.]

You will have to let me know when she's helping with the treats though. So I can speak to her. About their dietary needs.

[Suuuuuure, Hades. Sure.]

[ He can see right through you. This'll be fun. ]

Oh? I thought that I was the one taking them for treats? Why wouldn't you just tell me their dietary needs?

[ HADES HE IS NOT BLINKING. ]

Why don't you forward that list to me, hmm? I'll be sure to share them with her.

[ Listen, he needs to have his own entertainment. The UST is too good. ]

[............fuck. Er...think of something. Fast. Don't be obvious. This stupid nephew of his can sniff this shit out in a heartbeat.

Be cool. Be cool. Be exactly the opposite of what he actually is.]

If you're going to have her make the treats then it only makes sense I take them directly to her. That way if she has questions she can ask the source.

[NAILED IT.]

Are you assuming that we were going to be making these treats? Hades, we hardly have the counter space for such a feat.

[ Listen, he knows better, but... There's a slight, slight shift as if he's shrugging. ]

I suppose that it could be cheaper if we did do that. Every little bit for a bigger place.

[ And now he's definitely smirking. ]

You got distracted from that whole part of the conversation but I understand.

[ Oh no. ]
