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.

Me??? Σ(°ロ°)
No way (///￣ ￣///)
It's supposed to be a calendar like THAT I'm definitely better off behind the camera!!

[ Teasing or not, that's still an easy way to get her flustered. She's a confident girl in most things, but in some... in some, she's still a normal girl, with mundane normal girl insecurities. ]

Anyway!!
I'll see what I can get going
It might take a bit, but I'll at least look into getting us some decent cameras

[amakakeru]

Haha, I was only kidding! I'm sorry, that was mean of me.

[ ... ]

Thank you, Master. Whatever help you can provide takes a load off my shoulders.

[fujimaru]

It can't be any harder than Valentine's Day
Or any worse than Halloween
We got this 👍🏻

[amakakeru]

You just mentioning Halloween gives me the chills.

But you're right, we've got this. I've brought together more disparate groups in my time, after all, and I've got a great group of people supporting the effort.

[fujimaru]

Also!!
People are a lot more willing to help when it comes to being thirsty than they are when it comes to doing work
Win win win!

[amakakeru]

I hadn't even considered that to be a selling point, but I can't argue with the results.

[fujimaru]

I've heard enough stories from M

[ Well, he doesn't want his True Name bandied around, and she can't really see Medb having the same compunctions, but... ]

A certain queen
That sometimes I get surprised that people aren't more thirsty

[amakakeru]

With your experience, I can understand that...

[ Few reached Medb's thirst levels, it's true. ]

[fujimaru]

She definitely uh
Believes in kissing and telling

[amakakeru]

I can only imagine the things you've been privy to.

[ ... ]

I'm sorry.

[fujimaru]

Thank you
At the very least, she's not here... so we can probably put this together in peace

Relative peace

[amakakeru]

More peace than there would be back home.

Good enough for me.

[fujimaru]

For me, too!!
Even if it's temporary, I'll take it!!!
