[ The video begins and Baiken sets the camera down on a steady surface before shuffling her way in front of it and taking a nice long gulp from her sake jug before grabbing something from off camera and dangling it in front of the lens...

A necklace with a tigers' eye gem. ]

Got one of these awhile back from a different job, and well since somebody said I should diversify my work if I want to not live in poverty all the damn time, I guess I'll take the job related to this too.

If you know what I'm talking about, you know what I'm talking about.

[ You know. That job. ]

I gotta partner up someone [ or someones ] to get this payday, so consider this an offer. Make it worth my while, though. I have a right to be picky.

[ You gotta admit, it's better than making a living killing things! Probably. ]

People like you... What does a phrase like that even mean?

[garyoutensei]

People who only really have one thing they're good at; killing.

And there's not a lot of that to be done, around here.

[whirlwindthrust]

[ Again, he'd argue. There is always a need for killing... It's just a matter of what the target is. ]

And you think that what you have presently selected is a better alternative compared to...?

[ What makes this particular task so appealing? ]

[garyoutensei]

I'm not gonna get a job bagging groceries or delivering packages, kid.

[ A force of habit, calling him that. It didn't seem to carry any lack of respect with it, at least. ]

That and only having one arm limits the amount of jobs I can do, already.
