_{[ With the whole dragon fiasco interrupting America's flow of life here on this planet, he's a little more than eager to make a big announcement. He's worked hard to open up a business, and now it's time for him to broadcast it! The feed clicks on and shows both America & Klaus in their respectable Cordis forms; America with his foxy ears and tail and Klaus is looking a little more.. dragon-y than usual. They are, however, wearing matching suits. Perhaps you’ve seen the vague advertisements pasted everywhere-- possibly on your car, house, etc, or maybe it’s word of mouth, but the big night has finally come. They're showing the feed from Crystal Beach with a restaurant in the background. ]}

Hey you guys!! Hahahaha! Listen up here, I've got some big news to report, you won't want to miss it! Me and my buddy are proud to show you _{[ their financial love child ]} our business we are opening up!

_{[ America elbows Klaus in the ribs before whispering: go on, you can say it! ]}

Say -- oh, fuck! Right, yeah.

<sub>[ Klaus had, unfortunately, been focused mostly on making sure he didn’t squirm too much in the suit he was currently wearing -- its itchy on his newfound scales, all right, and even with his slightly more regal posture and temperament, he can’t cover up the fact that he has no idea what to do.

He clears his throat and straightens the lapels on his jacket and then motions to both sides expansively with both arms. It’s very Vanna White. ]</sub>

Presenting...McDenny’s! Do you love diner food, but hate the fact that people get all weird about the heavy petting you get into after you finish your meal? Well, here at McDenny’s, we’ve got your back.

_{[ Klaus’s eyes dart back over to America and he raises his eyebrows, flashing a grin that’s only slightly tense. Does he … does he have anything to add? ]}

Hahaha, perfect! You did great! I knew you would!

_{[ He said that way too loud. ]}

We sell American cuisine and offer a snuggle lounge upstairs open 7 pm - 3 am, but you can come by the diner anytime, it’s 24/7! We’re also looking for new hires.. and who knows, we may or may not even be giving away free food today, so come by and see us right away and check it out! We're right on the Crystal Beach, you can't miss it!

_{[ With that, they both wave and sign off.
ooc: America is in blue, Klaus is in purple.. get responses from us both or just one of us. Check out his business here! ]}

[hoasen]

[Time for some slow nodding.]

So, you two, teaming up, for a fast food restaurant.

[Give her a minute.]

I do not dislike it. I think it's good for you both.

( VIDEO. )

[herocomplex]

I couldn't have done it without him!

_{[ Thanks for all the fucking, Klaus. ]}

Vietnam! That must mean you'll work for me since you're good friends with us both!

[hoasen]

[Couldn't have done it without him, huh...was it all the fucking.]

First government, now this! You really wish for me to work with you?

[herocomplex]

Yeaaaah! You're like, I don't know. You're so hot, you'll bring in business!

_{[ STOP WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. ]}

I mean, uhhhhhhh, you're just, I respect you.. and your work, you know? You're so hard working. And I, uh, I like being around you so.

_{[ just pops his lips loudly, yeah.. nailed it. ]}

[hoasen]

[LOUDEST SIGH. She was so proud of him for a second.]

Are you talking about my work ethic, or because you're about to use my appearance for advertising? I'm wondering if it is truly my resourcefulness and my company, or...

[Wait hold on, back up a bit there.]

You? Actually think I'm hot?

[herocomplex]

Dude, of course!

_{[ Then, in a more sincere tone: ]}

Anyone with eyes can see that.

[hoasen]

[Why is she still just staring at him like even though he's sincere...does he really think that way? He still called her flat.]

I hope you at least mean my face.

[herocomplex]

I mean everything about you! Your face, your smile, your eyes, your hair.. your ass, your legs.. like damn.

Your legs.

[hoasen]

[HE'S STILL AVOIDING HER CHEST. But also, this got gradually more crude.]

What about my legs? You seem to be emphasising that one especially.

[herocomplex]

They're incredible. Just like your eyes.

_{[ Hmmm. ]}

[hoasen]

...

[Hmmmmmmmmm.]

Did you just compare my legs and my eyes to each other?

[herocomplex]

Uh.. should I.. nnnnnot have done that?

[hoasen]

Do you not think of the combination as strange? Legs and eyes.

[herocomplex]

Uuuh.

_{[ ... ]}

Nnnnnooooooo? Cause your legs and eyes are awesome? Hello?

_{[ He just keeps digging a hole here. ]}

[God, watching Alfred with Sen is kind of painful. He flashes a toothy grin.]

Nothing could possibly go wrong, right? You're business-savvy, aren't you? And don't worry, it's not so bad to just be a pretty face.

I like it, for example.

[It helps you get away with things.]

[hoasen]

[Look, she would get it, how bad this looks, if she wasn't a mess then too thinking that this was just bad. Oh wait, guess she did.

At least Klaus has some sense--no wait, she also takes that back. She means that in the most endearing way, of course.

And at least his charm worked since she knows how he rolls.]

Heavens, I mean sure, I am business-savvy, but also I mean perhaps just you!

[He's not wrong, she gets away with quite a bit.]

[garb4ge]

[Look, Sen, some people just embrace their trash gremlin nature better than others do. There's nothing to be ashamed of.

Embrace yourself. Be nasty.

He pauses.]

I myself though, not so great at finances. I don't know about Alfred.

[hoasen]

[Is that why he eats the garbage--oh look pun intended.

Also, what about nastiness with CLASS.]

Oh, did he ever tell you about the time he bought a costume for a Halloween party with taxpayers money because he was hoping to win?

[Something about her tone tells him this is not a joke.]

[garb4ge]

Okay, see, so ... clearly, the business would benefit from someone who makes some better decisions than that.

[He waves a hand to the side and smirks.]

And I know you're such a giving person...

[hoasen]

I see your angle. Including the part where you're saying I am a giving and generous person.

[She's even added words in! She's humble she swears.]

I expect to be paid for such labour. [That's not a yes, but it's not a no either.]

[garb4ge]

Oh, obviously! Do you think I'd ever think of cheating you out of anything?

[Alfred, maybe, but not himself.]

[hoasen]

You may not cheat me exactly, but you are incredibly convincing at bargaining. I know I have to watch out for you!

[For her to say such a thing, that's high praise!]

[garb4ge]

Ah, right. You've seen me negotiate, I forgot.

[No, he probably really did forget.]

[hoasen]

[...Hold on.]

You really forgot! How did you think we went and--

[Suddenly she chokes, now that she remembered their incident in the shower.] Anyway, I know how you bargain. You are a dangerous one.

[garb4ge]

[Klaus just laughs, so it's really unclear whether he did actually forget or not -- and then he shrugs his shoulders.]

Dangerous but effective, right?
