Backdated to the start of the week | Video

Another busy month for me, but I have something for everyone to look forward to.

[He grins, showing a lobby behind him. Not much else, since it's still on the works.]

I'm opening a karaoke bar called Shining Karaoke. There will be a grand opening party, of course. It'll be on March 13th, continuing to the 14th which is White Day.

[It's an open invitation, everyone should join the party.]¨

What I wanted to also say is that I'm looking for employees. Waiter and waitresses, someone to maintain the lobby, someone to take care of the karaoke machinery. I would also love to work with anyone who makes food and drinks as we will have those as well.

Let me know here or send me a private message in my inbox. I don't mind what age you are, but if you're under 18, you won't be serving anyone alcohol, and those under 16 will have to stop working before late night shifts.



And on a completely different note. [Bear with him.] Who here play video games?

[saxsongs]

I am, so that would be great. If you want to come and check out what they're like before the opening day, just let me know.

It does not. Anyone who has aged sixteen can stay.

[saxsongs]

I would gladly hire you as a waiter. It would be nice to have you around.

[Ren does enjoy talking with Loius. Besides, having most of his friends around the same place felt nice.]

Does your world have any of those?

[saxsongs]

Of course.

[Ren chuckles because of his reaction. Though he does also smile.]

I knew you cared, Baron. Don't worry, I won't fail. But you are still welcome to come and help out.

[saxsongs]

Thank you.

[It's cute to see him so excited.]

There was someone talking about karaoke bars on the network some time ago. I also thought we would need one, so I decided to take a chance.

[saxsongs]

Hello again, Makoto-chan. It's nice to hear from you.

[She gets a charming smile.]

I would appreciate your help, as long as you don't do too much, okay? Let's just choose a few roles for you, yeah?

[Even if her enthusiasm was very cute.]

Great. What kind of games do you like to play?

[saxsongs]

It would give me a challenge, wouldn't it? I do enjoy that.

[saxsongs]

Hello, lady Maribelle. Karaoke means to meet with friends and sing together. There are machines that play music and show the lyrics on a screen for people to sing along.

[saxsongs]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Yang. Would you like to visit the bar before the opening night to see the premises?

[roseeclair]

Ah, right... right of course. Just giving a list of options, heheh...

[Look, even if Ren wasn't stupefyingly gorgeous, Makoto is VERY much a people pleaser.]

2/2

[roseeclair]

[The video game question lets her focus at least.]

Let's see... Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong... but my favorite is definitely the Sailor V game. [And the nostalgia there is multi-layered~] Basically, anything with action, but a little strategy is nice so it's not just button mashing.

[Makoto's actually quite good at exploiting enemy weak points. .... Now if only the manga had let her display that beyond her first battle...]

[saxsongs]

I'm not, but I would still be interested in taste testing. I currently don't have anyone else signed up for drinks.

[Maybe he will get someone else, too. At least one was willing to learn about drinks.]

Yeah, I still have time. It's been put in my plans.

[saxsongs]

Why can't it be both? Our Principal is really ridiculous. Well, now he's my boss.

[And still ridiculous.]

Of course, but still. I insist.

[saxsongs]

I appreciate the enthusiasm.

[They can talk about job things in person. The video game topic is really enjoyable.]

Two of those are very familiar... but what is Sailor V? I would love to play with you sometime, if we find any video games in this world.

[roseeclair]

[... Okay, Ren asking to play with her is enough to make her brain blank for a minute, but only slightly less than having to think quickly of how to explain this without referring to secret identities.]

A-aha, well, it's this action game based on this local superhero back home. She's pretty awesome. Basically you have to fight through different dungeons and beat up bosses to keep the world safe.

[Phew, nailed it. And who knows, there might be a console version with multiplayer.]

[darksideofdawn]

Then when you are available for it, I can mix a few things for you to try.

[At least making drinks will give him something of familiarity in this new world.]

You have my service-

[There's another brief pause. In adjusting to using his smart phone, its been rather strange having to adapt to communicating or meeting others like this. Letters and face-to-face meetings were simpler. He somehow accidently skipped over introductions.]

Pardon me...I am Diluc, of Mondstadt. I might have gotten a bit caught up in the offer of assisting you.

[milkmycattle]

Hell yeah, we needed one! There are not many places where people can relax and goof off with their friends.

[The local taverns and pubs aren't what Crow would call lively. Hang-out spots are pretty limited in such a modern city, but it seems trendy establishments are starting to pop up. Maybe it's the adventurer's influence?]

Well, just so you know I'm gonna be a frequent customer!

[Fair warning!]

[disasdeer]

I'm told I'm sometimes alright company.

[ He's joking, of course. ]

Naturally. Our technology is the same as other modern worlds from what I can tell. So we have games. I just don't have time for them.

[feisticuffs]

Interesting— I can see why people might enjoy that.

[It will certainly be entertaining for those who end up working there, she's certain.]

I do quite enjoy cooking, but I've never had a wide audience to gather feedback from. If you like it, maybe you can use me in the kitchen? Not that I would mind stepping out and taking care of any problem customers if necessary.

[arf]

Can we get something called a "Lord of Scilly" melon and really expensive water?

[ Teasing or not, Taichi answers honestly...... it should be noted that the Lord of Scilly melon is ridiculously priced, at about 10000G a slice. It's an absurd ask for a karaoke place. ]

Not really. Heh, I've been busy doing auditions and street acts and anything to get by!

[morganknight]

I'm all in. I'd love a real opponent instead of -- I assume it's a magic semi-AI instead of a technological one, but hell if I know, honestly.

[troubadamsel]

[ Maribelle looks rather surprised! ]

I had no idea machinery was capable of doing such things! And this is commonplace in your realm?

[trustheart]

Your boss? Did he hire you out of school, or something?

... And I-I guess. If you insist, that is!

[justwatchmeburn]

Why not? I'll get a sense of how everything is laid out that way.

[affannoso]

I feel like I should apologize in advance for Stella. I think she's going to end up moving in and maybe chaining herself to a karaoke machine.

[concierto]

I see, I see... [Does he??] So it's all part of this...technology thing. I see! Ehe!

[He might be only understanding parts of that. Machines aren't exactly a big deal where he's from.]

Cheap drinks are a crowd-pleaser. You'll have more foot traffic for that.

[and Venti will stick around...]

Or maybe those who sing well could get free drinks?
