[Video] June 8th [cw: sex work/prostitution]

[As Hanzo comes into focus he clears his throat, straightening his yukata as he gathers his thoughts.]

Greetings. If you do not know me, my name is Hanzo Shimada.

In light of recent events I have been more thoroughly considering starting a business to provide paid chroma replenishment services. For those who were left drained and suffering caring for dragon eggs due to lack of companionship, this would provide services to provide them with chroma to avoid depletion for a small percentage of chroma generated as payment.

Additionally these services may also be used by those who are looking for companionship further than hugging and hand holding for whatever reasons. We will not ask. I plan to have clientele remain anonymous if they so decide.

In order for something of this nature to be plausible I would need to know if there is any demand for such services and if there are any moonblessed among us that would be interested in employment as sex workers. You would be paid well, protected, and treated fairly. No one will have to take on clients that they, for any legitimate reason, are uncomfortable with.

[He leans back a bit casually in his seat instead of being rigid and upright. His father would be ashamed of his manners but made proud by Hanzo's initiative, so he briefly offers a smile as he moves stray strands of hair from his face.]

As stated before, I understand this topic may be taboo for some, so you are free to leave feedback publicly or anonymously. Could you support a business venture like this? Would you be willing to do work that is necessary but not necessarily easy? Let me know your thoughts, good or bad. All feedback is welcome.

Thank you for your time.

( Her expression is... slightly complicated, compared to what he's used to seeing, but she's sure he'll understand why. Still, she has no warnings or harsh words for him; as others have already stated, there will certainly be a demand for such a thing, especially for those who aren't particularly skilled at forging their own connections with others.

It could be significantly easier for someone to walk into a shop and get their chroma fix. )

I'm sure there would be many who are thankful for a place to simply go and know what will be expected of them as well as those they employ. If anything ever happens, I hope you know you can call me. I will do what I can for whatever may come to pass for your employees or those they may need protection from; I'm sure you'll take good care of them, but that's not to say the guest you throw out won't be injured, as well. And by then I'm sure they'll have learned their lesson.

( Her tone turns up a bit at the end with her teasing, a little lighter now. But she means it; she wouldn't be able to help him with the business nor would she be interested in "working" for him, but he will always have her aid if he needs it. Having a doctor on call may help assuage anyone who wishes to help others for a wage, as well. )

[He observes Angela as she puts her thoughts on the issue into words. They're actually not as harsh as he had been anticipating. When she offers her services should anyone be injured, Hanzo starts to smile. At least until he catches himself and clears his throat, nodding in agreement with her.]

Yes, absolutely. You are a kind woman, Angela, and I appreciate your feedback. I may take you up on these offers if this venture comes to pass.

[cadeuces]

( She isn't someone that typically holds others to her standards; she realizes the physicality of this place and the sorts of needs and wants that arise from it, because she's experienced it herself plenty of times, but knowing you can go somewhere protected and safe for a negligible fee when you don't know anyone else here— that seems invaluable, to her.

She trusts Hanzo to protect others in this place. Angela would much rather support him by offering her assistance, resting easier knowing that he will have medical help covered if ever he needed it, further assuring the safety of those who may come into his employ. And don't think she missed that smile, either, mister!! )

Hmm, only when it's been earned. ( That's a lie; her kindness doesn't need to be earned, but she teases him regardless. ) I'm sure those under Iris in particular will appreciate having a space where they won't be judged for what they need, and know they have a safe place to go. If there is anything else I can do to help, I hope you'll let me know.

Did you have a name in mind, yet? If this comes to fruition.

[yakiniku]

[He shakes his head, eyes shifting to look elsewhere. In all of his planning could it be that THE Hanzo Shimada, heir to the Shimada empire, skilled tactician, and brilliant strategist has failed to consider names for his hypothetical business??]

I---....No, no name yet.

[This is definitely a Genji sort of thing. If, of course, his brother would humor him with some creative suggestions.]

Truthfully, it had not crossed my mind yet.

[cadeuces]

( Her smiles always come easily, but seeing his gaze shift away in thought has another one springing forth, amusement clear in her eyes even through a recording. )

That's all right; it sounds as though it's still a tentative idea. It will come to you. Or I'm sure Genji will offer sound choices.

( Which is teased, half-joking. )

Though I'm sure it won't be nearly as regal as it should be, for an establishment under your care.

[yakiniku]

No. I suppose not. Regal and catchy do not often overlap.

[Perhaps he would need Genji's assistance with this naming ordeal--the one aspect he has not given any thought to.]

[cadeuces]

It doesn't need to be catchy; you just need to focus on how you want it to be presented and how you want people to feel hearing the name.

( Food for thought, at least. )

I suppose if you wanted to be overt, you could call it something like The Dragon's Den, as a ham-fisted example. Something that hints at the mystery and solitude of it, on the edge of danger.

( It was, well and truly, just an example. Please don't call it "The Dragon's Den", she just needed to explain the feeling a name invokes. )
