A proposal [Video]; un: Rider

[amakakeru]

[ Rider smiles as the video starts. He’s less formally dressed than normal, lacking his jacket and hat and two buttons on his dark blue shirt are undone – casual mode! ]


As I’m sure we’re all aware, we’ve got a bit of a humanitarian crisis on our hands. There are a lot of people that can use help. The best way to help is money. People are more likely to give money when there’s an incentive to donate, as I’m sure most of you know – a gift or something to accompany their donation.


[ He motions to a wall calendar behind him. What’s on the calendar isn’t clear at first, but that’s not important right now. He keeps talking for now. ]


Calendars are a popular gift this time of year, perfect for the coming new year, but you need interesting subject matter – cute animals, nature photos, things like that.


[ Now he takes the calendar off the wall to reveal its subject matter. The cover shows your stereotypical wizard posed suggestively with a staff and a strategically torn robe to highlight his muscle with the title of WIZARDS GONE WILD. ]


I’m suggesting something, well, a little more suggestive. Some of you are keen on showing off your bodies publicly [ He’s not naming names, but y’all know who you are. ] so why don’t we capitalize on that?


[ He flips through the pages of the calendar, showing wizards of all genders in any number of suggestive poses and states of undress before hanging it back up. ]


Why don’t we do a cheeky little pinup calendar? Anyone of age is more than welcome to volunteer to pose for photos…and we’re probably going to need capable photographers. Given the nature of the project, there’s no pay, but I’m not going to be making any money off of this, either. All profit over the printing costs of the calendar will be given directly to refugee-organized charities.


Thank you in advance to any and all volunteers who want to have a little fun for a good cause.


[ Rider then chuckles as he puts on a charming smile. ]


And if it helps put everyone’s mind at ease, I’ll be posing for this, too.

It's nice to see someone else around here in a charitable mindset.

[Even if pinups aren't his fancy, he can appreciate that something like that will sell, and that the money will go to a good cause.]

[amakakeru]

Ah, well, thank you. I've been helping with my time, but there's only so much one man can do. I just hope this gets help to those who need it most right now.

[angel_of_death]

Likewise. I've been working on two projects myself, in between other things.

[amakakeru]

Thank you for that. Whatever you're doing is sure to help and I'm sure it's appreciated. I've been running myself ragged just doing what I can where it's needed. It's worth the exhaustion, I think.

[angel_of_death]

Just remember to mind your health. There's an illness going around, and you won't be able to do much of anything if you end up catching it.

[amakakeru]

The good news is I already suffered through that. Here's hoping it isn't something I can catch again.

Make sure you don't catch it, either. It's a miserable experience.

[angel_of_death]

My odd hours and lack of social involvement make it less likely for me to catch it, but I am taking additional precautions.

[It would be very dangerous if he did.]

And, speaking of precautions, do be forewarned that there are sexual criminals here in Avalon, however rarely they are spoken about. Should anyone gain unwanted attention as a result of this little project, I would advise them to alert the knights and their fellow project members at a minimum.

[amakakeru]

Of course. If anything of that nature does happen, I want to nip it in the bud. I don't want anyone to feel unsafe or uncomfortable at any point.

[angel_of_death]

That's good to know.

[He's already tracked down one such figure before, thanks to the courage of one Selkie who managed to sneak a post onto the quest board some months ago.]

[amakakeru]

It's the least I can do. If I don't watch out for the people I'm recruiting, what kind of person does that make me?

[angel_of_death]

One of a questionable nature.

[Yes, he went and answered the rhetorical question.]

For what it's worth, I hope none of the bastards get ideas.

[amakakeru]

Time will tell, unfortunately...I'm hopeful nothing will come of it.

[angel_of_death]

Well, good luck with it, I suppose. The sooner the refugees get settled and back on their feet, the better.

[amakakeru]

Agreed. Let's all keep doing what we can for them until then.
