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

[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.]

[He has questions after giving her a hard time. What a brazen man!]

I'll swing by one evening then. And sometimes there really isn't much of a difference between adjusting and complacency. They sort of go hand in hand now and then.

[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.]

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.

[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?

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

[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.

[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.

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.]

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.

[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.]

[Pff. Eva quirks a grin.]

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

[She's teasing, honest.]

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.]
