[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.

[That's the right question to be asking, and more or less the response he was looking for, so plus points for this guy.]

I run an apothecary. I could use somebody who's able to coordinate with local clinics, and help me find buyers. It's a pretty bid step down from 'King of Hell' or whatever, but the job's open.

[deathceo]

[Oh. Well that actually is a very nice business to run. It's useful and good for everyone involved. His expression softens a little before he speaks again.]

There's no point in me being hung up on something like what I deserve because of a title. The fact is that I want to work. From your description this seems a good cause.

[And would give him something to do.]

What does your apothecary specialize in that would be the most worthwhile to clinics?

[resenting]

[He talks the right talk, at least. If this guy's legit, why couldn't he have been the king in that shithole instead of Trash?]

[Well, who actually knows what goes through the heads of royals. Doesn't matter one way or the other, instead so he'll quickly runs through the quick details of what he does.]

Minor healing potions tend to sell about as quickly as I can make them- Patients love anything that can make a bruise or sprain go away immediately. I've also got some more specific formulas for chronic illnesses.

My biggest sales gimmick is that I use plant-based ingredients, but I also want to be upfront that I'm using magic to compound everything.

[deathceo]

I see. So it would be a sales pitch of natural products to offer immediate relief to minor injuries as well as specialized products for more serious conditions.

[Good, good. He can work with that.]

Can your products be used on everyone? Or can they be used to treat pets as well?

[resenting]

[Oh? That's actually brilliant. There's probably an entire untapped vet market.]

You're asking about your dog? I'd need to run a lot of tests first, but that's worth looking into.

[deathceo]

Russell does require ear drops so I've been looking for medication for him to take here. With that said, I know I would not be the only one eager to have these products for pets. You could likely obtain more business were you to market to these buyers as well.

[Not even hired and yet here he is with ideas.]

[resenting]

Give me the details later, and I'll see what I do.

[Shouldn't be a heavy lift- he's successfully treated monsters and dog-type demihumans as it is.]

If you want the job, come to the shop in the morning for a trial period. We can negotiate payment then, off the network.

[He's already shown he's competent enough not to need a formal interview, at least.]

[deathceo]

I see. And what time would be the most convenient for you?

[resenting]

I usually open the shop at 9, so if you're here by 8:30 I can show you anything you'd need to see.

[deathceo]

I will be there at 8:30 precisely. Thank you. I'm very interested in what you are doing here.
