Video; Beacon Bounty Boards

[monkeystowaway]

[As the video feed starts, a big blank board can be seen behind Sun.]

So, you'll be seeing these boards in every city. [He says, motioning to it.] These are called Beacon Bounty Boards. Don't let the name fool you, while you can find bounties listed on here. You can find other jobs as well.

Essentially, this doubles as both a bounty board and a temp agency type thing. If someone is looking for someone to paint their house or something, you can find it listed on one of these boards.

[Sun touches the board and it activates, showing a little interface where you can list the most current jobs, search for keywords, ect. There is also an option to register with the board.]

There are pamphlets attached by each board with a bunch of information in them. Check them out if you get the chance.

This is a sister business to Under The Sun Retrievals, which I talked about before.

There are also more jobs openings there, in case anyone is looking for a job hunting monsters or retrieving herbs and such in Fayren.

[Gale's lazily looking at the feed with a pretzel stick hanging out of his mouth and lifting an eyebrow. New potential jobs always do grab his interest.]

Well, I'm not one to turn down more jobs, but what exactly does registering entail? I'm not one for readin' the TOS.

You put in your name, contact info, and job skills and field of work you do. If someone comes there looking for someone in the specific field that you put yourself in, they'll contact you.

But if you don't feel comfortable having all that info registered, you can still take jobs, just, you won't be contacted directly for any.

Huh. Neat.

[Could you sound any more enthused there, Gale?]

Don't suppose we can register under a different name? I don't exactly do my jobs and have my real name attached to 'em.

[It's not like he needs a job, exactly, with the money his brother is pulling in, but... Even for an Elric, there's only so much time you can spend at the library.]

Like "help wanted" ads in the newspaper... Can anyone enter a request?

VIDEO

[monkeystowaway]

Pretty much. But these jobs are typically only temporary.

Are you looking for a job or looking for someone to work for you?

[myalofme]

Oh, it's not for me! But... I don't mind running a few errands, or helping out here and there.

[Have a petite blonde wearing a white long-sleeved shirt and a long blue skirt who is clearly sipping a cup of tea at a cafe. She's doing it pretty primly too, kind of like a noble.]

Am I correct in understanding that you perform the task of exterminating monsters and require assistance? If so, I offer my assistance in this endeavor.

[Though she looks so small, like a porcelain doll.]

[Sun knows better than to assume some small, beautiful, delicate looking girl can't kick monster ass. Most of the people here from this world kind of fit that category.]

Are you talking about Under The Sun Retrievals? Yeah, people hire us to hunt them. Not always to kill, but sometimes it's left up to you.

I fail to see how refraining from killing a monster would prevent its continued menace. However, that is the discretion of the customer. Would you require a demonstration of my skills prior to obtaining work with your organization?

[azaleafae]

Hmm...perhaps my clan and I should look into taking some of these jobs hunting monsters and searching for herbs. We scavenged all the time back home.

[Video]

[monkeystowaway]

It's really good work. Dangerous if you can't handle combating monsters, but otherwise good.

[Video]

[azaleafae]

I'm sure we can handle them. The monsters in my own world are strong enough to kill dragons, but I don't believe the monsters here are that strong.

Do you still have...positions? You did say that the jobs were limited, didn't you?

Are there rules to these bounties? Like bringing them in alive?

[This works well for him, tracking and fighting are really the only two things he still considers himself competent at.]

Text

[monkeystowaway]

I think it's mostly left up to the hunter. If they are wanted alive, it'll probably say it. Though no one probably expects you to bring someone guilty of petty theft in dead.

Text

[nofortunateone]

Obviously.

I'm used to people and things fighting back when they are cornered.

Don't get mad. Unless I give the go ahead would you mind making sure that both Torchwick and Mercury stay off of those boards regardless of requests? No bounties on either of their heads unless I approve it.

Good job though.

[monkeystowaway]

[He's going to get mad, Weiss.]

..Why? I'm not planning to do either of them any favors.

[redcinemareel]

[She watches the video in sincere interest. Once it's done, she smiles.]

Quite an ingenious idea! One worry there could be is someone not paying for our completed services. Which would be disastrous for them.

[Video]

[monkeystowaway]

You can meet with the person that posted a job and discuss payment ahead of doing the actual job. You could request half or the full amount upfront. [If the client decides to give half, all or none upfront is up to them.] But if someone doesn't pay, they can't use the board anymore.

[charmingdeception]

So can it really be used for something as simple as decorating?

[She isn't asking because she was interested, she was just curious.]

video;

[monkeystowaway]

Yep. Some people will do any kind of work as long as they get paid for it.

[fragrantic]

Can you guarantee freshness and quality when it comes to retrieving herbs and game?

video

[monkeystowaway]

I can. If you get us to get something for you, and you aren't satisfied with it, we can return your money. Though we've yet to receive any sort of complaints.

[Somebody has figured out how to use this...weird sending crystal. Fucking magic.] Hunting monsters one of my specialties.

[Hunting monsters is his one of his specialties? He never would have known.]

Well I've got a spot open if you are interested.
