Subject: Hiring for the Mostro Lounge

Warnings: Capitalism?? In all seriousness nothing yet but will add if something comes up.

[Today, Azul Ashengrotto appears on camera, smiling brightly. In fact, he seems to be in a much better mood than he has been for the past month or so, given the good cheer in his tone that accompanies his words when he speaks.]

Hello everyone, this is Azul Ashengrotto speaking. For those who do not know me yet, I'm a mage capable of crafting potions and spells, among various other unique skills to help any unfortunate souls in pain or need. I would like take this time to announce some exciting news regarding my business, the Mostro Lounge: as of today, I not only have my shop available to come and commission me for your magic needs, but the Lounge itself is now available for those who wish to pay a visit!

[He moves the camera now, showing the inside of the Lounge side: it almost looks like a night club, with deep purple hues with the walls and decorations. Azul appears to be sitting at a bar counter, and as the camera moves, viewers will be able to see tables and chairs, a bookcase that appears to have board games instead of books, as well as what looks like a small stage set up for musicians or other performers as Azul speaks.]

Consider this a place to come and relax, or for taking part in games to play as I have been considering establishing a game club of sorts for board games and the like. Anyone who wants to put on a performance or some type of entertainment may also use the stage for playing instruments or having talent shows of some kind if desired. I will accept any offers for those who want to do just a simple event once in a while or make a regular job out of performing for the Lounge: just let me know what works best for you.

[Azul brings the camera back around to face himself again.]

Speaking of which, in addition to entertainment, I am currently hiring anyone looking for work in general. I would appreciate any offers for helping with upkeep at our business, whether that be keeping the Lounge clean, serving drinks, working the front desk, or so on. This also goes for anyone who may be able to help with my shop, as I will still be accepting offers for my other business of making and selling products, magic-based or otherwise. If there is anyone who would like to assist with deliveries to customers that are unable to come directly to the Lounge, it would most certainly be appreciated.

There is currently no deadline for hires. If you are interested in a job position, send me a message and I will set up an appointment for a job interview in my office here to go over the hiring process.

As for those who are looking to come and visit the Lounge, you will need to pay for any drinks ordered, or for attendance to any special events that are planned so that the performers are paid properly for their work, as well as assisting with keeping the business running. I'm sure you understand, yes? Otherwise, there is no entry fee at this time to come in and hang out with your friends or play with any of the games provided. As for business hours for when we are open, I am still working on that since I will need to come up with a schedule that best fits any prospective employees, but I myself should be available between the hours of 8am at the earliest, and 11pm at the latest for the time being. If you have any other questions about the Lounge, or if you need my services for anything else in general, please do not hesitate to ask!

Oh, thank you for the warning. I will keep that in mind. I just think that it would be a shame if you died in the process: after all, it would be terrible if any friends of Sonic-san's decided that revenge was worth pursuing, by coming after anyone that is associated with you here, and you were not there to protect them.

[Aka himself, and Kit of course. He's not so blind that he can't tell that those two care a lot about each other and that Kit would probably be sad if Surge died.]

[ OH! OKAY! you can't just say THAT azul... would they do that... they would do that... she hates them.

that's why surge is frowning very, very, very hard at the prospect of them doing something like that. part of her thinks they wouldn't, but that would be giving them the benefit of the doubt. they're always doing things she doesn't expect so obviously they would hurt people she knows.

... it makes sense. ]

ughhh i hate when nerds like you are right about this stuff

[ it's a compliment. ]

i'll make sure to kill them all at the same time then who can they bother if theyre all dead

[........ That's not quite what he had meant for Surge to get out of that, but you know what, for now Azul won't correct her. If it keeps her from doing anything too dangerous that risks her own life (or himself and his business) in the process, it should be fine, right? He can try to talk about this again at a later date when she might be more amendable to further advice from him on this matter... baby steps and all that.]

Thank you for taking my words into consideration, Surge-san.

[He will however tease her a little by thanking her for the indirect compliment instead of being offended about being called a nerd for it.]

[ the craziest part? ]

angel fish, your whole little food place, how much did everything cost to get it to where it is now

[ he may thank her, but she's going to ignore it on premise that she has to be evil and mean, well, not entirely, but she doesn't do good with that sort of stuff.

if he had cheered saying she was cool, then maybe, but that's not what she wants right now.

she wants people... dead! ]

im curious about that

Oh, that's a good question... I'd have to look at the numbers I have recorded on my desk, but I believe it certainly took several thousands of hard-earned dubloons for my business here, while my Lounge back home... hmm, hard to say as it'll take me a moment to compare with the currency we use there by comparison.

[He's not giving exact numbers because he doesn't like giving too much away on that front, even if Surge is an employee of his.]

Why do you ask?

you know, isn't that an employee thing wanting to know the rounds and numbers? you didn't have it in the thing me and kit signed sooooo

( how much money does she have to make to have enough to rebuild his place in case her great plan is to bring who haters inside the lounge and blow them up? it's a great plan, fool-proof. )

only interest and stuff

[Surge, it is written in your contract that there may be consequences for extreme damages done to Azul or the Lounge, so please do not blow-up Azul's place of business??!]

Normally employees are told if we are meeting "quota" or not for the fiscal year and the like, but given where we are, I am not sure how much of that would actually be of interest to you. It may seem rather boring in comparison to discussing your paycheck or what funds can be used to improve the Lounge.

[ it didn't say she couldn't pay back expenses to avoid the consequences?????? ]

keep the number in mind and make sure it doesnt get any bigger. i forsee something exciting in our future

[ PLEASE DON'T ADD. SHE IS SO BROKE BUT SHE MUST KILL. ]

[It does say that, but he meant like... if she broke a glass or something, not blowing up his Lounge??? And what if Azul decides that Surge's money is not enough to properly pay him back? What then, Surge...]

... Dare I even ask what it is that you're thinking of here?

[ oh... why does it say that, how did he believe she could make money to even do that!! sighs... how is money not enough to fix it! don't become an upstanding citizen on her so soon now, boss. ]

nope just act like we never had this convo and see what the future brings and all that deep stuff they say

see you angelfish let me know the numbers later

[yeah okay surge fine don't tell him, but--]

... As a reminder, I would appreciate that whatever it is that you're planning does not involve breaking anything that can't be replaced in the Lounge. Or breaking anything at all, preferably.

can you STOP reminding me i have plans and things

its such a great idea you have to trust the process
