Subject: Advertising for Ghoul's Moon/Halloween, also as always hiring for the Mostro Lounge

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

[Today, Azul Ashengrotto appears on camera: however, he is not dressed in his usual business suit and tie. Instead, his outfit has been completely swapped out for a pitch black suit with a different style as he grins, teeth appearing a little sharper than usual.]

Hello everyone, this is Azul Ashengrotto speaking! In the unlikely event that someone out there still doesn't know of me by now, I'm a mage capable of crafting potions and spells, among various other unique skills to grant the wishes of any unfortunate souls in pain or need. I am also the proprietor of the Mostro Lounge, a place where anyone can come and relax, or take part in various forms of games and entertainment.

[He gives a bow to the camera before he straightens up again to continue speaking.]

Given the nature of the season approaching, I would like to announce that for the next month, the Mostro Lounge will be offering a new menu catering for not only those seeking something with an autumn atmosphere, but in order to celebrate this being the month of Halloween--or ah, "Ghoul's Moon" as it is called here: where I come from, this particular holiday is regarded very highly during this time of year, and so naturally I wish to do everything I can to honor it here.

[He moves the camera now to give a sweeping gesture of the Lounge: the night club aesthetic now has very noticeable Halloween decorations in place--orange and black banners strung up around the walls, pumpkins with candles inside serving as mood lighting on the tables, and so on.]

There will be new sweets, especially a few pumpkin flavored treats added to our regular menu, as well as a special discount on a pumpkin spice tea and coffee blend of my own making that was around for a limited time last year, so please don't miss your opportunity to try it again now before it is gone. As for activities that will be taking place, our usual board games on offer are still available, but we will also be putting together special events throughout the month for attendees, such as a night dedicated to dancing, or for the opportunity to try a game involving some potions with some mild temporary effects to play around with. There will also be an opportunity for guests and employees to use the stage for sharing any stories with an audience that they feel is best fitting for inspiring a fright, but more importantly...

[Azul steps up onto the stage himself now, and then, with a grand flourish of his cane, his outfit changes to an entirely different costume, resembling that of something similar to a mummy perhaps as he adjusts his hat.]

The Mostro Lounge will be hosting a special costume contest for anyone feeling bold enough to come up with an outfit to wear and enter with! This is your opportunity to show off your skills in providing chills and screams, as we will be judging a winner based on who can come up with the scariest appearance for this contest! The winner will be receiving not only a special beneficiary prize for their continued patronage to the Mostro Lounge, but will be given the opportunity to have one request of their choosing granted for free by yours truly! And as a reminder, in case you have forgotten, I have quite the skillset as a mage here, so this can be any type of request, even if it is something that normally requires the use of my magic and alchemical skills.

[A beat, before he adjusts his glasses.]

... Within reason, of course. Any wish that I am to grant cannot be anything that would bring some kind of harm to others.

[Azul clears his throat and moves on, turning about with a flourish of white ribbons as he bows once more to the camera.]

And of course, as always, I am hiring anyone looking for work. 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 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.

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! If you also have any suggestions of things that may be fun for us to provide for the season as well, I would be more than happy to hear those too and I'll see if they are doable here~

[ooc: This post is mainly an announcement/allowing people to ask questions or chat about anything, a log with prompts of things to do with the Lounge and costume contest and so on will go up in a few days!]
