[Gintoki is sitting at a desk in his new (tiny) apartment, his feet up on the desk and the communicator placed near them. He's trying his best to look as cool as possible to attract customers.]

I figured since it looks like I'll be here for awhile, I might as well open a branch of the Yorozuya here. If you need something done, and you're willing to pay someone else to do it, I'm your man. I'm also looking for a couple of scapegoats- I mean employees, since my actual employees aren't here.

I should probably say now that I won't take any illegal jobs. Unless I'm really desperate. Or I know I'll be able to get away with it.

...I mean. Uh. I only do legal jobs.

[Really the only reason he was doing this so soon was because he'd already blown through all his money gambling and drinking. And he hates not being his own boss, thus the new branch.]

[ ....he... should be a bit more wary when someone says "scapegoats" and act that way, right? Not that he isn't, but Alp is a polite demon, and, well, he needs something to do. And sort of needs someone to follow. Contrary to what Empusa might say, he is not more like a dog than a cat but ... well. there's something about that that's a little accurate. ]

Hello, sir. [ he bends his neck in a slight bow. ] What sort of jobs would you expect to get here?

[ Ed chuckles. ]

Shouldn't you be a little bit worried about ending up with piles of requests that are shady?

video

[addictedtojump]

Not really. It's not like I have to take every request.

[addictedtojump]

I usually end up with a bunch of physical labor jobs. Things like repairing roofs or chasing down lost giant pets.

[melonsaregreat]

I'll keep that in mind. For if I ever need a legal job done.

[addictedtojump]

Good! Legitimate customers are always welcome.

[melonsaregreat]

As are businessmen who understand that discretion is the better part of legitimacy.

That's the worst attempt at a job ad I've ever seen.

[ ggg. Good goin' Gintoki. ]

[addictedtojump]

I can be discreet... When I need to be. Which isn't very often.

[addictedtojump]

It's my first time actually advertising. Cut me some slack.

[nachtmar]

That sounds familiar.

[unehelichkind]

That would mean that you have a lot of options, doesn't it?

[firefandance]

I think you could have done better at job advertising. Though mentioning you won't do illegal jobs unless you are desperate is also not something one should say out loud or at all really.

[mintchip]

I would but you did tell me you only got into trouble on accident before...

[ This whole thing is hilarious to her. ]

[addictedtojump]

Yeah well... Things are more expensive here than I thought they'd be and I really need money.

[addictedtojump]

I've never had to advertise before, so I'm trying my best here. And I don't want to close myself off to possible opportunities.

[addictedtojump]

Well I know it's not a really original business but it pays the bills... Most of the time.

video

[addictedtojump]

It does.

[It would mean that, if he were used to getting a lot of job offers ever.]

[mintchip]

They're cheaper in Attleton, if that helps.

[nachtmar]

That's not what I meant. [ um. ] How would employment work?

[addictedtojump]

You hang out here during the day. If we get a job, then we go out and do it. Or I send you to do it by yourself, depending on what it is.

I just can't guarantee how often you'll get paid.

[addictedtojump]

I might move there if I end up being stuck here for a long time. I just picked this place because it's a lot like home.

[mintchip]

I hope your business does well enough that you don't have to move out.

[nachtmar]

Okay.

I would be alright with that.

[addictedtojump]

Alright, then you're hired.


....Uh. What's your name?
