[video] July 16th: Employment Opportunities [cw: sex work/prostitution]

[yakiniku]

[Hanzo is positioned in the same way in front of the camera as he was the last time he had to make a message like this, but this time his hair is overgrown and white, but he has the wild locks pushed over one shoulder making it seem just a bit neater.]

Hello again. This is Hanzo Shimada.

Last month I asked if there would be any interest in a brothel catering to Moonblessed, and while there were a lot of people who did not understand or did not approve of the concept, there were also those who did show interest. Some who were not interested also voiced approval for the idea.

So on the first day of this month's triple moon cycle, I would like to announce the opening of Flux. We are located on Level 3.

We have job openings for paid moonlacing partners as well as security personnel. Please let me know if you are interested, and I will provide more information to you. Otherwise if you have questions, I have time to answer them.

Thank you.

[Before ending the video, he leaves his desk to go to the outside of the building for a good shot of the entrance should anyone prefer speaking with him in person instead.]

Congratulations on the establishment of your business. I have no interest in your establishment personally, but having such a place for moonlacing in a regulated and safe environment should bring peace of mind to many.

[voice]

[yakiniku]

Thank you. That is my goal, so I appreciate your kind words.

[ritterstand]

I'm glad. I'm privileged to have those around me who are understanding. But that is not going to be the case for everyone.

[takingchances]

Glad to see you got it all set up.

[yakiniku]

Yes, it took some time to get everything sorted out and the paperwork dealt with, but I am glad that it is done. For better or worse I own my own small business.

[He laughs, and from his voice it's clear that he's exhausted.]

How have you been?

video;

[takingchances]

Yeah, I sure don't miss that amount of paperwork.

[Not that the Lunar Scientia don't do paperwork but not to the depth her job at home does.]

I can't complain. Now that I've been here a while, I've pretty much adjusted.

[ japan, as the video quickly reveals, is apparently an iris, given the dainty little antlers sprouting out from his hairline. he's also faintly flushed, but impressively composed: he's getting used to this iris heat nonsense. sort of.

he feels just the teensiest bit flustered to be talking about a brothel at, hm, this time of the month, but hanzo's clearly done a lot of work in a short amount of time, so: ] Congratulations on opening. I hope that you'll be very successful.. though I hope that you will also have time to rest. I can't imagine that you've done much of it since announcing your intentions.

[yakiniku]

More than my own success, I hope that the business does well enough to help people and continue operations.

[This is Hanzo’s voice trying to sound natural when he is internally declaring how cute Japan looks with antlers.]

I would invite you to spend some time here but as of the moment I am the sole employee, but in time that will be fixed. You look well, though.

I did not know you were Iris.

[nihonkoku]

Your success is the success of the business, isn’t it?

[ he flushes at the kind-of-invitation, and that sure is dappling at his hairline and down his throat. to be entirely honest with himself, if he were to visit, it would be to see hanzo, not someone else. ] Perhaps I’ll stop by to say hello, at least.

[ his hand lifts to gingerly touch the base of an antler, then tries not to squirm as he’s reminded how sensitive that spot is. ]

Mm. I suppose we haven’t had the opportunity to talk during our.. cycles before now. I look a little silly.

[zohvin]

Let me give you my congratulations, too. I'm impressed by how quickly you opened the place.

video

[yakiniku]

Thank you. I wanted to just get it done as soon as possible while I had the means to do it, and the time to get the paperwork sorted.

It is as close to your place of work as I could manage. [He’s only sort of joking.]

I wish you many blessings and good tidings on this curious business venture!

Let us hope your morals remain in tact along with the safety of your patrons. Namu.

[wireable]

I think his morals will be just fine, as will the safety. After all, I am one of the employees for now, so I doubt he would wish harm to come to me.

[foolishjustice]

I hope you understand that some of us might view such an establishment with wariness. Where I'm from, it's not uncommon for young women to be tricked into outrageous debts and forced into work like this as their only available means to pay them off.

Yes.

Congratulations on getting the place set up!

[yakiniku]

Appreciated.
I did not know it would be this difficult to make happen, but it is done.
I would be my own first customer if I could.

[They have already discussed Zenyatta's feelings on the nature of the business. He focuses instead on what matters most.]

You must be exhausted.

voice

[yakiniku]

[That isn't a voice he expects to hear, but he's glad to hear it all the same.]

I am okay. [He's terribly exhausted and even his voice can't hide that.]

[HANZO....

There might be an extreme tone of embarrassment that Zavala is attempting to cover up when he finally finds the right words.]

I suppose I should congratulate you on your...business endevor. May it be successful for you.

[Is that an awkward thing to say? It totally is.]

voice

[yakiniku]

Thank you.

[He's appreciative of getting to hear from Zavala under any circumstance, really. Lately there hasn't been the time for sparring like before so he's seen a lot less of his friend lately.]

No one has applied for any security positions as of yet. Whatever shall I do being so understaffed in a position so important.

[Hanzo's joking, and the playful tone of his voice makes it easy to tell.]

video ) blessedly, somehow, likely by an anonymous helper at some cafe

[cleanfreak]

( The picture is fussed with just a bit when it blips on, someone trying very earnestly to help Levi respond to the post he'd stumbled onto, but also not someone he seems to know. He doesn't even know where to look. )

I just start... speaking at it? Right. ( Then his gaze shifts down to the bracelet in the waitress' hand, then back up to the person behind the "camera". ) You wanted security? I'm still not well-versed in this place, but if you need some muscle around to keep an eye on others, just tell me where to find you.

I was in the military where I came from.

( That should be enough to say that he's trained, right? And then just looking at him, the definition of his build is clear enough in the tailored cut of the pressed white button-down. What isn't clear without standing before him is just how small he is, but whatever. )

video - a miracle

[yakiniku]

[Hanzo watches on, amused, but not allowing himself to smile or laugh.]

Yes. Security positions are available as well as others.

[If the man is small he can't tell from this camera angle, and he's just eager to hire staff. Hanzo was sold at the military experience, but still there were contracts to sign and paperwork to fill out.]

I can send you a map and address. Come by and we can get you started.

[extalon]

A place like that here will probably get a lot of business. [It's pretty fitting, honestly. Though its not a place Baptiste himself would have thought to open up.]

[yakiniku]

Even if business is slow, it's still a good resource for moonblessed who prefer not having any strings attached. Thank you.
