Good day to you all. My name is Tiara. I have unfortunately been a captive - no, resident, of this place for some time, however, I have until now been quite busy. But I will not take up more of your time than is necessary, therefore I will get right to the point.

I would like to offer the services of my manservant to you for a perfectly reasonable fee. He may appear sloppy and lazy but I can assure you, he is quite competent and strong, particularly in battle. However, I will permit a broader use of his abilities, if you require a cook, a babysitter, a janitor, bartender or any other menial task I will be more than happy to accept. Of course these are not the only positions - one cannot be a jack of all trades if they confine themselves to a mere handleful of positions. If you have need of something for a task I did not mention, and you would like to accept my offer, please contact me and we can discuss the details.

[ And she will be more than happy to accept ..that money. Working at Sun's bounty hunter place was fine, but this was different! ]

You are pimping out your boyfriend to do menial work?

'Pimping'? I am afraid I am unfamiliar with that term nor am I certain why you would simply assume that he is my boyfriend.

However to clarify any confusion allow me to explain. What I am doing is no different from a guild or mercenary group offering the services of their members. Yet instead of limiting the abilities of my servant to simply battle, I am allowing him to take on additional tasks if necessary, and at my discretion.

[ Meaning she was the one to decide what he would and wouldn't do. What a lucky lucky manservant. ]

[burnwithawesome]

And your guy is okay with you offering him to do any sort of job?

Re: Video

[hatedbloodline]

Oh my, I do apologize, but I believe I have already explained, that the person I am speaking of is a servant. I do not know the culture where you are from, but a servant is meant to do the tasks of their master.

[burnwithawesome]

And I get that. But just because he's your servant doesn't mean he's okay doing random stuff for other people. I mean, you could at least ask him. Unless you don't care about his feelings and own wants.

[ Pff, ask a servant if they want to work? ]

He is a servant, and must fulfill his basic duties and any others that his master would require of him.

Were it left up to him, he would laze about and not do any work at all. This benefits him as well as myself. [ Mostly herself though. ]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

[ What an unusual offer... she was at least curious on that, however. ]

While I'm more than happy to hire your boyfriend, how does he feel about it?

[hatedbloodline]

Oh my, perhaps I have misspoken and committed a serious social faux pas. I believe I said "manservant". Not "boyfriend". I do not know where you are from, but where I am from, the two are not directly connected.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Ah, sure! Sorry about that.

Still, even if a servant is supposed to do whatever the master asks of them, don't you think its important that they be happy, or at least willing to serve you?

[ Because Konoka's known how that works. She'd rather see a happy servant than a strong one. ]

[hatedbloodline]

He is willing. Were he not, he would have departed quite some time ago.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Hmmm~

[ Well she won't bother pressing it now. ]

Well why are you offering him in the first place?

[hatedbloodline]

That is simple. It is because my other servant is not presently here to be hired out.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Ummm...

If you didn't have any servants, then what would you do?

[fatedefyingwill]

[He's giving you such a stink eye from the door, Tiara.]

[hatedbloodline]

[ She looks up from jotting things down and greets him with a pleasant smile. ]

Fang, excellent timing. I have already acquired a number of jobs that you will surely excel at.

[fatedefyingwill]

[He still deadpans her in the most blunt way.]

You sound awfully happy to send me off.

[hatedbloodline]

Should I not be? Once you have successfully attended to each of these tasks we will be one step closer to affording proper accomodations. Where currently are is suitable, but it is also sorely lacking. Would you not also like to have more comfortable accomodations?

[ Wait, this is Fang she's talking to. ]

[fatedefyingwill]

[He rolls his eyes at her attempt to pretty up what she was doing after all.]

I guess you have a point. I'd still rather gather the money ourselves until that is available enough for you.

[hatedbloodline]

Indeed. However with the current influx of additional bodies and - in some cases, competition to the bounties - our funds will not increase much further without taking on additional tasks.

After all, other bounty hunters are not offering their services to tackle additional duties, therefore, the market is wholly ours. Well, yours. Do not worry, if you do well, perhaps you will not need to take on additional tasks for long.

I find it pretty funny how eventually everyone stops referring to themselves as kidnapees or captives or hostages.

Re: video;

[hatedbloodline]

I am fully aware that there are many of us trapped in this place as captives; however with no means of responding or even finding the one responsible it is tiresome for me to constantly complain of the matter. Others may do so instead.

[ She'll say captive, resident, or whatever she pleases until such a time that they can find a way home. ]

[unhappy]

They don't though, and it seems like a lot of people start caring about it. Stockholm Syndrome or what?

[ She's just making conversation. ]

Say, what's the limit on what you can hire your servant for?

Re: video;

[hatedbloodline]

That may be. I do not believe they no longer care, but there is no one to complain to other than others who are likewise captive. Were there a way to return home, I would wish to know of it the same as any others.

[ Well, except maybe people who died back home. ]

An excellent question. Of course I will not permit him to do anything illegal..or vulgar. I have already arranged to hire him out for bodyguarding detail, as well as menial chores.

[unhappy]

What if I hire him to babysit someone who doesn't want to be babysat?

[hatedbloodline]

He is not particularly good with children, I am afraid. How old is the one you wish babysat?
