So, this is kind of awkward. I put in a request to open up my shop as an actual business because paperwork had finally died down, and I was running out of things to do. ...And then these snowman assholes show up.

[There's a gunshot off to the side of the screen followed by a flurry of snow coming down on Dante.]

On the bright side, Devil May Cry has been approved to operate as an odd jobs business of sorts. Figured if Weiss could have a business while guardian, I could too. And let me be clear, being Guardian absolutely comes first.

As for what Devil May Cry does...

[Another gunshot and more snow.]

...You need something fixed, broken, found, or delivered, you let us know. Nothing illegal, obviously, but anything else, we'll negotiate a price and get it done. I'm also looking for a couple handymen to help out on jobs that may or may not come up when I'm busy with Guardian stuff, or outside my wheelhouse.

I did promise someone the first position, but I'm also looking for another person.

Need a repair person? I'm actually an inventor but am currently seeking employment.

An inventor huh? Interesting. Drop by my shop once this whole snowman business is over and I'll give you a proper interview.

An inventor, just came up with a launcher that allows for creative ammo thanks to the snowmen invasion. Stale fruitcake works perfectly.

And of course, my name's Violet by the way.

...Okay that sounds hilarious and I'm on board.

I'm Dante.

So the boss is finally coming out to play?

I've been out here for a while. No way in hell I was gonna let paperwork keep me from having a bit of fun during a bonafide incident.

Should you need any additional assistance, I could lend a hand.

I'll keep you in mind. What's your name?

Shimada, Hanzo.

[A pause.]

Yours?

Dante. Just Dante.

It's a long story, and one I don't tell without booze.

Speaking of which. I need booze.

A sentiment I can get behind. Guessing by your name you're Japanese? There's some good sake around here, but a word to the wise - avoid the stuff they sell in the Chiedren subgate if you're human.

Real life genuine Oni Sake. Gets the oni drunk but would shrivel up a human liver with just a drop.

Correct. [Thank goodness for sake, but he makes a mental note to avoid the oni sake. He's not trying to pickle his liver just yet.]

Thank you for the information. I plan to be thoroughly inebriated for the next several days.
Take care, Dante.

Same goes for you, Hanzo. If you want someone to drink with, let me know.

I will not turn away a drinking partner.

And I'm always down to drink.

Then you and I should make plans.

Time and place. Name 'em and I'll be there.

I will have to do some research beforehand.
I still am unsure about the drinking establishments around here, but I will get back to you.

I look forward to it. I've got a guy I usually go drinking with that might tag along, name's Aizawa. I have a feeling you two would get along.

I will keep that in mind. Maybe I will run into this Aizawa-san soon.

It looks like you could use an umbrella or two...

[ She tries to hide the amusement on her face by covering her mouth. ]

Nah, that's what Ifrit is for.

[He holds up a hand wearing a dragon like gauntlet. A snap of the fingers later and all the snow covering him turns to steam as flame erupts around him for an instant.]

Besides, the cold never bothered me anyway.

Oh..!

[ She claps her hands a little. Nero and Dante were always doing such cool things with their weapons and everything...! She couldn't stop herself from being so amazed by it. ]

That must be nice. Sometimes even socks can't make me feel warm.

[ She laughs a little to herself. ]

I don't know if this counts as something, but.. there is something I might want some help with if Devil May Cry is looking for some business.

Yeah, well, I'm pretty sure Nero knows plenty of ways to keep you nice and warm.

[Sorry not sorry, Kyrie.]

Well, Devil May Cry does a bit of everything, so hit me with your best shot!

[ Kyrie's eyes darted away and her face started to heat up nicely. S-sshhhh she doesn't know what you're talking about!!! ]

I was wondering if perhaps you knew anything about motorcycles...?

You kidding? I tinker with motorcycles off and on all the time. What do you need?

I was sort of dabbling in the idea of... maybe getting one for Nero. I know this place might not be "as" exciting as Nero might hope for, so I thought that might be something he'd enjoy, but I don't really know a thing about them.

Well, first thing's first. You looking for something new, or a fixer-upper that he can tinker with? The later will be a lot cheaper, if that makes any difference.

I was thinking the former at first, but when you put it like that, he might enjoy fixing it up to be how he wants it.

When's a good time for you? I'll take ya shopping around.

Going by what I've learned of the current set, I would be surprised if a Guardian didn't have a business on the side.

[She says with a small laugh.]

I've been keeping an ear out for other potential work, so... would former military perhaps happen to qualify for a "handyman" job?

Job's mostly paperwork, so we have a lot of free time between incidents like this.

[He shrugs.]

Could be! Army's a good place to learn mechanical stuff at the very least.

Wow, being a Guardian sounds a little easier than I would have guessed, but I'm sure saying it's "easy" is underestimating it.

[She nods.]

I was part of the Air Force, and given my area of expertise, I got to learn quite a bit about certain bits of tech. Among other things, but I won't get into that publicly. But I certainly know my way around a fight and "finding" things, shall we say.

I wouldn't say 'easy' as much as it is inconsistent. There are definitely things that you want someone with either powers or expertise in dealing with shit.

[He nods a bit as he listens.]

I'll definitely keep you in mind. I'm getting a lot more interest in this than I was anticipating, for sure.
