[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.]

[Zohvin huffs a laugh, one of his ears twitching.] So you're either stalking me, or you'd really like me to stop by and visit.

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.

Why not both?

[It's not easy to keep a PI on his toes. Zohvin is almost too observant for his own good on most days.]

Yes.

[Brazen doesn't nearly go far enough.]

Be careful. Complacency can be dangerous in a place like this. [Yes, he still doesn't trust anything. He's been here for months as she has and he's still sure Prismals are conspiring to keep them here against their will. No foil hat required.]

Such brotherly devotion! As amoral this proposed business seems, I admire your devotion! The same for Hanzo!

Although, my sense of righteousness is torn.

As long as everyone working there is doing so willingly, it's not my place to judge how people choose to maintain their Chroma supplies, even if I can't personally understand why. And I certainly hope that is the case, because I would rather not see social problems from home make moonlacing even more awkward than it already is.

Yeah? From who exactly?

[Alright that sounds both dumb and maybe mean. Eva huffs out a little laugh at herself.]

I'm not saying implicitly trust anyone but complacency is just what people do when they feel comfortable. Sure maybe it would be better if they didn't but you can't ask people to be on their guard 24/7.

That's quite a way to multitask. [He seems far more amused than bothered by it, but with the moon phase like this it's a lot harder for anything to bug Zohvin at all.]

Now that you're working nearby, I can show you all the good little restaurants that are hiding down side streets here. There's a wonderful bakery just a couple of blocks from the agency.

[He makes a face at her response, like he doesn't understand how she could possibly have become comfortable here. Sure it had its moments, but Hanzo's still stubbornly clinging to things that make it impossible for him to relax completely.]

Yes I can, and I am doing exactly that. [Hanzo knows it doesn't make sense to try changing her mind because they are both quite stubborn. The difference is that he is the more paranoid of the two. Still, he laughs anyway.]

Just take care of yourself. Is that something I can ask of you?

Not necessarily. The business has successfully began, but at the same time I have spent my savings of chroma making it happen and I am exhausted.

[He's not complaining, just trying to explain. The time, effort, and chroma he put into making it happen is more than worth it in his opinion.]

I would appreciate it if you stopped by for a while. Even just to talk. [Hanzo notices the response when Japan inadvertently touches his antlers and his interest is piqued. His ears seem to perk up in that moment, giving away that he's fascinated by that reaction.]

You look fine. I just hope you do not mind all this..hair. [He gestures to it all.]

[It has been quite a while since he was able to see Zohvin with his ears and tail.]

A bakery? [Oh no. His sweet tooth. Could Zohvin have figured that out as well? The wagging tail behind him might be enough to say that without much investigation necessary.] That sounds nice.

I can meet you at the agency and we can walk together when you're free.

Such a righteous man in the public eye.
How nice it must be to hide your truth beneath that mask.

I should imagine that you are. Do you.. [ well, really japan, spit it out. ] That is, I don't mind helping you to.. recover. A bit. Should I stop in to see you, that is. [ a beat, considering how that must sound, and he glances away. ] Not.. That is, there are so many ways to do so, after all.

[ but his glance returns in time to catch the flick of those ears, and for a second there, he really struggles not to just die. .. the animal ears people sport throughout the month are so cute..

cute, and yet given hanzo, his personality and looks in general, well.. they're more..... sexy? oh dear. ]

Hanzo-- [ a small huff of laughter. ] The hair is certainly a distraction, but not.. a bad one.

We've already gone over the issues previously, and everything is up front.

But by all means, if you suspect something amiss, I'd be happy to play tour guide.

[ he did design most of the rooms after all. ]

Sure, you can ask away. I'm not saying it guarantees you of anything though.

You're one to talk, Yoshi-kun.

[Hanzo's head tilts to one side in interest at the question. He shakes his head, nearly laughing.]

Feel free to stop by. It has been slow. I have my brother helping temporarily until everything is going more smoothly. So I have time if you want to talk for a while. I assure you, there is no need to do much of anything. I should get my strength back with time. [But he won't turn Japan down if he insists on being helpful. Either way, he'd like to see him.]

A good distraction, then? You might change your mind in person, so I will leave that free for you to do if you realize you are not so fond of wolves.

[NANI?! Yoshimitsu is positively flailing here. Thank goodness no one can see it.]

Hanzo, you wound me! (ಥ﹏ಥ)

[His laughter continues and eventually he gives up and nods. He wasn't going to win this one.]

At any rate. I am happy you were able to become comfortable here. Sometimes I wish I could do the same.

asdfjkl;;;!!!?!

GENJI! No! Yoshimitsu! YOSHIMITSU!

Not "Yoshi!" You know better! (⋋▂⋌)

You did not seem to mind it when the dragons were here~

[She huffs out a soft breath.]

And I'm not asking you to, trust me. Other people are going to do it though and it's not necessarily a bad thing, that's all I'm saying.

[Now she waves a hand gently.]

I'm not going to argue though. I'm just glad to see you've found something you like doing here.

SHHHHHHHHH!!!!11

You aim to ruin my good name!

Keeping myself busy seems to keep me out of trouble, and for now that is my goal.

[Especially since someone important to him has disappeared and no one wants to give him any answers.]

Ah, but I do enjoy our arguments. Perhaps next time? [He's joking, of course, offering her a little wave as well.]

Before I go. Are you sure I cannot interest you in becoming a patron of the new business. [Another joke. This one more obviously that.]
