[The video feed flicks on to show DeDeDe standing in front of a well-stocked bar. The lighting is low at the moment, as there's still no electricity in the club, but enough sunlight is filtering through the windows to make the scene visible. The massive penguin man quirks an eyebrow and gives a small upnod before offering a casual wave.]

Afternoon, Hinoto-Ri. Seems this city's even more generous than I thought.

[He gestures behind him.]

It's seen fit to return a little business venture I was runnin' back home. Now I've never been one to look a gift horse in the mouth, and seein' as it's here and I'm here, I'm plannin' to reopen for business in a couple of weeks. This here's the Penguin's Nest, in the Taurus District right down the same street as that pirate bar and Nyx's place. I'm lookin' to turn it into a respectable establishment where adults can go to enjoy a few drinks, a little music, and the pleasure of each other's company.

[In other words, it's a sex club.]

'Course, a place like this don't just run itself, so I'm lookin' for some local talent to help me keep the place up. Bartenders, bouncers, dancers, musicians... you got somethin' you can do that you think might fit in here, you just give me a holler and we'll see if we can't work somethin' out.

Don't got much in the way of signage right now, so just look for the warehouse with the door marked 'Private Entrance.' I'll be lookin' to remodel the place a bit to draw in some more business once we get up and runnin'. I'll be here 'til it gets dark if you'd rather hash things out face to beak. Just ask for DeDeDe.

[He flashes a grin at the feed.]

Well, that's all I got for now. You all have yourselves a marvelous day.

Ahhahaha, okay, a gold tick on that front. How about the hours? Holidays? Mn?

[Kazuya worked part-time jobs before, he knows what questions to ask!!]

[There's a distinct clearing of the throat. Little brother, what are you doing?]

[DeDeDe's going to ignore that throat clearing sound. He's got negotiating to do.]

You're free to make your own hours, but you don't get paid for time you ain't here. Fair's fair. Holidays are pretty big in this business, so you're gonna need to come in for those or arrange to have somebody cover your shift.

Shhh! Naoya I'm getting a job!! Lay off!

A-Ah! Got ya! [y-yeah no cousin here nope nope] Well, that seems fair, mmmnnn... okay, I'm in! I'll be good with bouncer stuff. I'm the Demon King, so, I know how to handle rowdy folks.

[He spent a lot of time escaping the grasping claws of his succubus and incubus fanclub, okay, he knows how to handle horny people when they get a bit, uh, too much]

Demon King, huh? Now that sure sounds like it'll come in handy. Got a few of those guys hangin' around here already, but it sounds like want to work too, so who am I to judge?

[They'll be around mostly for the illicit sex trade portion of the business.]

All you need to do is break up anybody that gets too rowdy, and if they don't stop? Toss 'em into the street. They can take that shit outside. I don't want fights in this place. Think you can handle that?

[After making sure there was no more commentary from the peanut gallery of one... Kazuya nodded]

Yeah. I deal that crap practically everyday back in my world although usually there's a bit of dismemberment going on too...

I won't waste my time lecturin' you on the finer points of the business, then. Sounds like you've got the matter well in hand.

[Kazuya could make a crude joke with that- nah he'd let it pass]

Totally. So when do you want me to come in or not or whatever?

I'll let you know when we're openin' for business, and you just make sure to be here on opening night.

Aye, Capt'n. Well if that's all, I'm gonna jet off for food. I'm starving~

[Total mood flip! Yay a job! Yay an excuse to beat up scumbags legally~~]

Before you go - what's your name? I'm DeDeDe. Just call me D.

DeDeDe? Ah, that's a name to trip over... D it is. I'm Kazuya, King of Bel. Call me whatever.

Kaz all right by you?

More than. That all?

That'll be all for now. See you in a few weeks.

Bye-Bye! Good luck in recruitin'!

[Aaaaaaaand out!]
