[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.]

Hey if you want to argue, I don't mind obliging that request at least.

[That said he says it as a joke but... well.]

Actually? I might just do that.

[yakiniku]

[Hanzo blinks, squinting for a moment as if he's just confused as to what he's heard.]

Really? Well, yes. Certainly. Feel free to drop by at some point. We will be happy to have you.

[He clears his throat.] As a guest, I mean. [Well, and perhaps in other ways as well.]

[zohvin]

[Zohvin already struggles with his own sweet tooth as it is, so that one's more of a mutual problem. Resisting temptation is not something he's very good at lately.]

Let me just wrap up what I'm working on and we can go. Having you close by is going to spoil me on having your company, I can already tell.

Go for it, he needs to learn this isn't like Japan.

[foolishjustice]

As long as you don't try to sell me on any services, I might feel a little better if I see what arrangements you have to keep your employees safe from aggressive clients.

Most of my concern, though, is about your recruiting tactics and treatment of employees. Like I said earlier, most places like this back home take advantage of desperate young adults who feel it's the only solution to their financial problems, not to mention feeling too ashamed of their profession to ask for help if it turns bad.

sorry, cranky older brother is back.

[yakiniku]

This is upsetting for a number of reasons.

1. I have addressed all of these issues previously.
2. My own brother is temporarily my only employee, and if you think I would mistreat him, you would be mistaken.
3. The entire reason I needed to be the one to open this business is because I come from a family that has been the type to do exactly the things you are afraid of, so I believe I know best how to prevent such situations.
4. I am exhausted. I have put a lot of time, effort, and chroma into opening my business and having to justify its policies to someone who is not an inspector, does not have any intentions to make use to it, and simply wants to assume the worst because of prior notions is giving me a headache.


So if you want to be helpful, and I mean truly helpful, either come over here and lend a hand, or find something else to concern yourself with.

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.

[yakiniku]

[They can struggle together. Hopefully there won't be any fighting over last bites of pastries.]

I will be here for long hours to start, so it is good to have you nearby so I can have an excuse to get air when I need it. I will see you soon.

Also, you are paying.

Good manager, bad manager?

[foolishjustice]

I was a detective back home, so I hope you can understand why this drew my concern.

If you do intend to be honest in your recruiting methods, however, I would be more than willing to help you evaluate your security measures. I wouldn't personally be comfortable working on premises at a place like that, but I do have a strong interest in making sure it's as safe as possible for everyone involved, and that anyone who behaves unacceptably faces appropriate consequences.

[nosuchthingasnosuchthing]

Well, then, I’ll be your first customer instead.

[zohvin]

It'll be fun, too. You haven't been so conveniently close since you moved.

[That little demand just makes him laugh, showing a flash of fangs in his mouth.] Don't worry, I'll be happy to pick up the check.

[yakiniku]

For now it is just my brother and I, but it is temporary until the interviews are over. So if you prefer women, I hope you do not mind waiting just a bit.

[video] both are good, this one is just exhausted and grumpy lol

[yakiniku]

[He turns on his camera for this, not caring that he looks as tired as he sounds. Hanzo looks directly at the camera as he speaks, a dangerous unspoken threat in his expression. The way he leans in and makes himself look bigger than he already is just to intimidate the other man is born out of a mixture of training, habit, and his moonblessing. Fangs flash in warning.]

Step foot on the premises while still on that high horse of yours and I will show you exactly how tight security is, Detective.

[Yes. He's 100% threatening him.]

[yakiniku]

Careful. It sounds as if you were close to expressing that you have missed me.

[Hanzo's not sure when a mouth with distinctly sharp teeth became exciting to him. He blames all of this moonblessing nonsense on the way his heart races from the glimpse of fangs.]

My savior.

[nihonkoku]

Is he? Maybe I'll have the chance to meet him while I'm there. [ if only because he's been intrigued by what kind of person hanzo's brother might be. ] I'll try to stop in this afternoon, then.

[ his lips quirk up, head tilting faintly. ] Well.. wolves hunt deer, I suppose, but I think I'll be safe enough.

[takingchances]

[Pff. Eva quirks a grin.]

Is it that much of a surprise? I've got to moonlace too you know.

[She's teasing, honest.]

[yakiniku]

I look forward to seeing you.

[The last remark is true, but he's curious how Japan can be so sure about that. Hanzo, of course, has no intentions of hunting him, but some people tended to be more cautious around Sanguis because of the aggression. He wouldn't blame him for it.]

Thankfully no hunting is required of me when the deer agrees to pay the wolf a visit.

[zohvin]

Well - I'm on a first-name basis with a handful of hovercab drivers now. It's just easier to have you close by.

[That's not a denial, but phrasing it that way seems like the safer bet.]

[nihonkoku]

[ his lips quirk up, and he crooks his index finger over them as if to hide the amusement. ]

That sounds a bit like the beginning of an interesting fairy tale.

[nosuchthingasnosuchthing]

Eh, I don’t care either way.

[About both gender and waiting.]

[yakiniku]

Then you are more than welcome to drop by at any time.

[yakiniku]

One that hopefully does not end with the Big Bad Wolf being put down.

[yakiniku]

No, yes. Of course you do. As do we all.

[He's trying to play off his embarrassment but only manages to stumble over the words.]

[nosuchthingasnosuchthing]

Great!

[tekhartha]

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

You must be exhausted.
