[The video starts off with Ren sitting in a room that has been made to look like a summer forest. There are several seats around him with a table in the middle and a television on the wall. There’s a touch screen next to it for selecting songs and two wireless microphones in their charge stations.]

Hello, everyone. My name is Ren Jinguji and it’s my pleasure to announce that I’m opening my own business here. A karaoke bar, called Shining Karaoke, located in Blossomcrown. Let me give you a tour of the place, starting from one of the four rooms we have for singing karaoke.

[He demonstrates how the decorations can be changed by another touch screen by the door before exiting the room and showing three other doors close by. Then he walks to the front of the business that has the front desk and a simple bar.]

Of course I’m looking for workers. Cashiers, wait staff, bartenders, mechanics and even bouncers for security purposes.

But this is not the end of this announcement…

[He moves the camera to show double doors that are currently open to another establishment right next to the karaoke bar and there’s someone waiting there, Ren gives his phone to Kagami with a quick V mark given to the camera first.]

[Kagami quickly rights the phone once he has a good hold on it, giving Ren a grin before gesturing behind him.]

Yo! Name’s Kagami. Told ya I was thinkin’ about making the diner, right? Well, here it is! Called Kagami’s Diner.

[Behind him as he showed off was the diner, there’s booths along one side with windows to see out into Blossomcrown, and a row of stools along a bar on the other side. The kitchen is obviously behind that along with a jukebox at the very end. He then moved towards the entrance to show off the seating outside as well.]

The weather’s usually pretty nice in Blossomcrown, so I got outdoor arrangements, too.

[He walked back inside and lifted the camera to show the menu that was above the window where the food would be set for the waiters to grab.]

Menu’s up there but I got ones at the tables too. Gonna be servin’ breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So c’mon in whenever.

[He made to give the camera back before suddenly putting it back on himself, finger right at the camera.]

And before any of you knuckleheads start given’ me crap over the name, diners tend to be named after the owner, got it? So I don’t wanna hear it!

[He heard it back in Avalon, he ain’t about to hear it here too just because he was following tradition! He gave one last glare to the camera and then handed it back to Ren.]

[Ren is still all smiles at the camera and he keeps it so that they are both in the view for the final part.]

We look forward to seeing you here. I’ll leave the location on the post.

[Ren winks at the camera, while Kagami just gave a slight wave, before ending the advertisement.]

( Nina still thought karaoke bars were kinda wild, but she figures an easy gig is an easy gig and she wants them moon coins. )

I can work security for you. What're the hours like?

[saxsongs]

The hours can be agreed on whatever suits you the best, since I know there's the possibility of having multiple jobs and even exploring the segments.

The karaoke bar usually stays open until late nights, so there's the possibility of working late shifts or early ones.

[The bar would have slightly different opening hours, but that's what the doors were for. They could be closed.]

[likeiron]

I can work nights. Figure if there's a chance anyone is going to get rowdy, it'll be once they're drunk and partying.

Any discounts on booze for employees? ( might as well ask!! )

[saxsongs]

That sounds great. It's definitely a good time to have a bouncer around.

[Always ask about benefits.]

Of course. You even get discounts on karaoke, if you wish.

[borelblue]

[Aymeric addresses them with a smile, and enthusiasm in his voice.] Well met, and my congratulations to you both. 'Tis especially good to see your ambition made reality, Master Kagami. I haven't forgotten the image of the milkshake that you initially shared.

If I may, I am unfamiliar with a "karaoke" bar, as Master Ren called it. What might this entail?

[taigastripes]

[Going from text to seeing that the dude who wrote a formal letter in text form was actually an elf with a British accent was not what Kagami had been expecting. But, he'll take it.]

Then c'mon in whenever you're free and I'll make one for you.

Karaoke bars are places to go and sing songs, basically. You can get drinks and food, you get put into a room with a machine that plays music. It's got lyrics written on the screen if you don't know the song and you just sing along with it. I'd recommend going with friends though, kinda weird if you go alone.

[Not that people don't do that, but c'mon, how much more fun is it when everyone can sing badly to music?]

[borelblue]

I may, in fact, be free but momentarily.

[His eyes brighten with enthusiasm.] Well now, that sounds like great fun! I shall have to visit Shining Karaoke as well. It has been far too long since I put my singing voice to the test - though I get the impression that the quality of one's singing is not so important as the amusement shared with friends.

[taigastripes]

That's what the bar area is for, for those who want a quick meal or even just a cup of coffee.

[There was a shrug as he gestured to the bar behind him.]

Ha, not really. Honestly, I don't remember the last time I've been to one of these, so I guess I'll have to try some time. Anyway, Ren's right, I definitely can make you a mean strawberry milkshake. Although, if you prefer another flavor, I can probably get somethin' goin'. Oh, and let me know if you're okay with cow's milk or if you need some kinda alternative like something plant based or whatever. I'd like to not make any of the new customers sick.

[saxsongs]

The milkshakes Kagami-kun makes are definitely something worth trying. I recommend the strawberry one, especially.

[Since Kagami already explained the karaoke part, he can just help advertise diner food.]

[borelblue]

Then that is where I shall start. One can hardly go wrong with berries and sweets. My thanks for the recommendation, as well as your efforts in creating Shining Karaoke. It sounds like a most promising venue, and I look forward to seeing it in person.

[saxsongs]

Not a problem at all. My wish is to bring joy to people. We might be saving the world here, but relaxation and joy are important as well.

[noarchitact]

I’m afraid I’m not interested in a job there, but I will say you may see me as one of your regular customers.

[saxsongs]

The promise of customers is always a great thing, too. You're welcome to stop by anytime.

Congratulations... I will happily help decorate, as I did before. Do remember to take breaks when you can, please?

[saxsongs]

Thank you, my love. And don't worry, I've learned my lesson from before. I'll take care of myself.

[foxtouched]

You have many looking up to you already. It is wonderful to see that you manage to find so much admiration no matter where you go.

[saxsongs]

I'm glad to be able to be a positive influence the lives of many people. It's not something I take for granted.

Sweet of you two to make this a two-for-one deal.

[ Get it, because it's two announcements for the price of one (1) post. ] [ Does he have his own guild to keep busy, yeah, but is he also gonna take on part-time work: you bet. Let him bounce for you, too, Ren; that, he's good and experienced at, unlike waitering. ]

[saxsongs]

Why not advertise together when you're already working closely together as well?

[at_heart]

You two friends before you came here? Or is this the story of a beautiful bond blooming in spite of adversity?

[natsupiko]

Yooo! Congrats, Renren!

Go ahead n' sign me up for waitstaff! I can help with planning when you get some large groups or events too! I used to host a lot of mixers back home!

[saxsongs]

Thank you, Kazu-kun.

I'll gladly take you as an employee. And who knows, maybe there will be events later down the line. For now I'm just glad the bar is up and running again.

Eva Ushiromiya speaking.

Hey, congrats. Looks like I should have given your business skills more credit.

[Despite sounding a little patronising, the sentiment was sincere.]

You'll have to show me how you've got everything set up once it's up and running. I want to learn as much as I can about running a business and my Father never let me study how he did it.

[saxsongs]

[Somehow it's cute how Eva starts her messages. Ren doesn't look amused on the call though, just internally.]

Today's opening day, so come here whenever you want. But I will gladly show you and teach what I can.

tw societal misogyny

[angerintomiracles]

Huh...really?

[The fact that he so easily accepted the request to teach her took Eva by surprise- she was entirely expecting to have to argue her case with him. To fight her corner and convince him that she was actually capable despite being a girl.

But... he didn't dismiss her out of hand, as her Father would have, or argue back and insist that she should stay her lane like her brother would have. What reason would a woman have to need to learn business, after all?

Despite having a (usually harsh) word or two for every situation, she found herself not really sure what to say, staring at the camera in confusion before her face lit up with a smile.]

...Right! Good. Then- then I'll come over later today, okay?
