[Video] Help Wanted

[yakiniku]

[The sound of a man clearing his throat starts the video, but he doesn't begin speaking until he takes a breath, organizing his thoughts. He's only going to record this once so he'd prefer not to mess up anything. Eventually he appears in front of the camera, standing, arms folded over his chest.]

Flux is hiring dancers of varying skill levels. Particularly dancers that already know or want to learn how to do tricks on poles. If any of this interests you, do let me know and we can discuss in further detail.

We have also put in a bar to bring in more people even if they do not have plans to make use of Flux's services. In the future we hope to have music, drinks, and dancers for entertainment for those just passing through.

Also, if there are any DJs among you, I may have work for you shortly.

Thank you for your time.

[And with that the video feed cuts off.]

I'd be interested in perhaps performing, though I would have thought an establishment with dancers would have been a bar first and foremost. What sort of business is Flux?

[yakiniku]

A brothel.
Does that trouble you?

[eyesofazure]

Not necessarily.

What roles do you expect dancers to perform? Other than stage performance.

[yakiniku]

Just dancing. Visual entertainment for the patrons only.

If anyone is looking to do more than that, they would be better suited to a different position.

[eyesofazure]

I'd be more interested in the performance than anything else.

I can't say I've much experience dancing, though I do have experience manipulating poles. I'd be willing to learn.

[yakiniku]

That is wonderful. Exactly the type of enthusiasm I think would be beneficial to have.

Also a reminder that there is always security around to ensure that no one ever puts hands on you or attempts anything out of order. Flux strives to be a safe and pleasant work environment for all employees.

[eyesofazure]

I've put my fair share of men who can't keep their hands to themselves through walls, I'm not so concerned for safety. I don't drink, though, and couldn't in good conscience handle any sort of alcoholic beverages, but as long as I'm simply on stage and not serving that shouldn't be an issue either.

What requirements are there for auditioning? Would there be training involved?

[yakiniku]

That is wonderful to hear. Security is still present though, should you need it.

Training will be involved, but I am open to and encourage dancers who want to develop their own routine. Removal of clothing is optional, but also encouraged, but if not then something form fitting would work instead. For the audience to better see the dancing. There are no age requirements since dancers are not meant to be the ones providing moonlacing services to the customers. Anyone may audition.

[Zenyatta's voice strikes a perfect balance between teasing and sincere. It isn't something he's ever considered, but this is one area of Hanzo's business that he does not feel overly conflicted about, and if he can help...]

If your clientele should ever request the services of an inorganic dancer, I suppose I could oblige- provided you have any faith in my skills, of course.

If you're still looking for dancers, I could help.

[eyesofazure]

If the pay is reasonable, consider me interested. I've never held a trade job, I've only freelanced within a guild before. I'm partial to trying new things, though, and this wouldn't be the first time I've danced on stage.

[It would be the second time. But he wasn't going to mention that if it meant he'd find steady work.]

What steps would I take for applying?

voice

[yakiniku]

I hardly think the manner of dancer matters so much. Why not have a broader range of diversity to appeal to a greater number of people? [Or non-people, as well, really.]

But would you really be interested in it? I have no doubt in your abilities, but I would like to see them. Not for selfish reasons, but because it would be prudent of me to observe them before agreeing to hire you, of course.

[Both things were true, and Hanzo suspects Zenyatta can tell based on the tone of his voice.]

[yakiniku]

I am.
What sort of experience do you have?
If you have none, there will be time to learn and practice before you have to do anything in front of an audience.

we can handwave the interview if you'd like

[yakiniku]

I hope you will find the pay to be worth your while.

Just stop by when you have a moment and we can discuss pay, hours, and all the minor details. You can also take a look around if you are interested. Then you can decide whether it is something you want or not. An informal interview/orientation, essentially.

[tekhartha]

Are you so certain? There are many in our world who would object to the mere presence of an omnic dancer. Lunatia seems a great deal more open-minded, yet I am not sure if I would not be more of a distraction than a delight here.

[For the most part he is treated- as politely as possible- like a novelty. But it does not seem particularly wise to bank on novelty in an establishment like Flux.

The request, at least, makes Zenyatta chuckle.]

Ah, of course! I am sure you would ask the same of all your applicants- although, as I recall, were we not dancing when we first met? Regardless, I would be willing to assist you, if you found you were lacking in performers.

Are you in dire need for an entertainer? I'm not familiar with the pole so you'll have to show me.

[r_ratedcostume]

Well, it was a hobby for me back home, so no professional experience, just dabbling. Enough to keep myself entertained.

I could provide a performance interview, if you'd like?

nah I'm good to thread it out if you are

[eyesofazure]

I'll take a look.

The name is Lyng Yewteus, by the way. Thank you for the opportunity.

[yakiniku]

I am interested to see what you can do. Dabbling is infinitely better than nothing at all.
I hope you stop by so we can make this happen soon.

un: south.wind

[yakiniku]

Perhaps not dire, but of course an entertainer is exactly what I am looking for.
That can be arranged.
What sort of experience do you have as an entertainer?
Feel free to answer honestly because there is nothing I would ask of you that cannot be taught. I am just curious to see if you might have the capacity to help others that are less experienced.

[yakiniku]

This is not our world. This place has the most different and wonderful types of people, and being who are not people at all. To assume all of them would only be interested in one thing (or species, in this case) would be unwise.

[Also he really wants to see Zen sexy dance, selfishly.]

That is not the sort of dancing I had in mind for this..

[soulburningfights]

To be blunt, from my travels.
I was taught various dances during those times I can pass along.

[tekhartha]

Are my aural senses glitching, Hanzo, or are you expressing faith in humanity? This place has been good for you after all! [But, in all seriousness... his voice softens.] You are right, of course. I of all people should know better than to let my fear guide my actions. Thank you.

[A pause- then he chuckles.]

You seemed to enjoy it.

[yakiniku]

That is wonderful.
So you have several styles under your belt? That already puts you at a good starting point.
I would love to have you on board if you are interested.

[soulburningfights]

It's definitely a change of pace. Aye, I'll be glad to join your company.
Shar Nite, at your service good sir.
