[A man in a suit appears on the feed, with a younger-looking blonde in the background, just in focus.]

Good afternoon, and happy new year, to those of you celebrating. I'm Gaku Yaotome, and this is Eichi Tenshouin.

[He gestures politely back to the blonde, who waves in a most idol-ish way.]

We're experienced idols and performers in our respective homes, and familiar with the workings of the entertainment industry here.

Normally you'd see us promoting our groups and our work, but we've decided to welcome the new year with some new ventures. We run a talent group called 3CLIPSE, under which we have three agencies that represent a number of off-world performers. Our goal is to secure a significant moonblessed foothold in the industry here, since we're at a disadvantage against the native entertainers.

If you're looking to expand on your current work, or if you're just an entertainment hopeful, we invite you to join us on the first working day of each week this month for open auditions. 3CLIPSE accepts all kinds of talent, from idols and actors to models and musicians, and even more unconventional types like comedians and illusionists. There's no experience necessary; you'll find audition requirements and directions to the studios in text to follow.

Inquiries for more information on the company are welcome. Tenshouin and myself will be around for the next few hours to answer any questions.

[He bows a bit, then straightens.]

Thank you for your interest. To each and every one who auditions: break a leg. You won't know what you can do unless you take a chance.

[ooc; Audition requirements vary by role and talent! If you're interested in your character passing auditions, please comment with the appropriate form on this page and we will assign your character to an agency. Easy as pie!]

[This one's a familiar face, Ren leaning back on his couch with a hand under his chin, manner cheerful and vapid as he tends to be in public.]

Oh, that should be interesting, there does seem to be a weirdly high number of talents among the Moonblessed...hopefully if you're sharing the leadership load, you're not going to be overworking yourself again, though.

[He smiles, putting a finger lightly to his lips.] If you need custom audiovisual supplies down the line, you can always come talk to me. I'm sure we can work out a deal.

Oh, you fluster nicely. [The hand under Ren's chin curls, and though his tone is perfectly innocent, his smile curves into something marginally more amused. He feels the need to point that out before addressing any of what Gaku actually said.]

It's a talent. But it's nice to hear you're spreading the workload out better now. I don't doubt your experience in your own industry, but actually running a business needs people you can rely on and a different set of skills.

[Ren had the sheer dumb luck to start up with someone who was far better at the administrative side of things than he is himself, so he knew what he had to focus on filling the gap on when he started his business here.]

[Ren rests his chin in his hands in a very "isn't that your problem?" kind of expression in answer to that first remark, but doesn't actually comment on it himself.]

I certainly hope so. There's plenty of Moonblessed in business here, but not all that many where the businesses are that compatible with what I do. Something like this seems like it could be interesting to get involved in, though.

[When he's already got specialists hired for various audiovisual things, it's somewhat of a parallel step to get involved in non-gaming entertainment.]

I think Eichi-kun will serve you well on the business end of things, but if it turns out you need a little extra steering, feel free to come to me. Equipment is more what I'm offering right now.

[That said, he leans back with a brow arched in a perfectly curated questioning look, a touch of amusement behind it.]

I can't possibly imagine what other kind of compensation you think I'd be asking for, though.
thedarkbond: (origin mage)

[personal profile] thedarkbond 2020-01-24 12:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe I should clarify too: I'd like to know what kind of person you think I am that I'd be asking for compensation in anything but money. You need to be careful about your phrasing and not just how clear you are.

[Ren assumes in this case it was an attempt to avoid teasing, otherwise he'd probably be distinctly unimpressed with the implication rather than just gently chiding.]

In any case, when it comes to sound and visual equipment, my company mainly takes custom orders, so it's not so much a matter of inventory as whether you come up with anything my staff can't handle. And we've gotten some...interesting requests.
thedarkbond: (totwachter)

[personal profile] thedarkbond 2020-01-26 12:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I know. But others might not. It helps to think about how things might be read when you're dealing with certain kinds of people. [Ren taps his temple slightly with one long finger. Even implying that you expect someone to screw you over (literally or not) too early can sour a business relationship, so he figures it might be useful to plant the idea.]

LED screens I could help with, speakers I'd probably only be able to help when you need something from scratch rather than renting, since the ones my company actually keeps and uses are optimised for gaming and not music. So it'd have to be a custom order, and obviously that would need to wait until you've got enough clout to buy. What about headsets and microphones?

[personal profile] thedarkbond 2020-02-03 12:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't consider that "harping"... [Still, Ren raises his hands to either side of his face in something between a shrug and a conciliatory gesture, as if it doesn't matter to him either way.]

I have an entire department dedicated to custom builds, so if you're willing to buy, then I can source or design anything you like. If it's not just coming out of things we already have, it's much easier.

[That's the only reason renting would be more restrictive - he can't do a custom build for rental because there's no guarantee it would resell.]

[Hold on he's just here to like, half tease Gaku, half tell Ren to stop.]

Ah, does Yaotome-san have that sort of problem? I believe we truly will balance one another quite well, then. I was meaning to contact you about business relations, as well. [A smile at the camera, and a small tilt of his head.]

Still, Ren-san, could you save your teasing him for a bit later? I'm leaving most of the replies to him, and you're causing him to turn so red that I can see it even from behind.

[personal profile] thedarkbond 2020-01-06 09:53 am (UTC)(link)
[How well does telling Ren to stop normally go, though. In any case, he gives Eichi a cheery wave, then laces his fingers under his chin with an air of blissful innocence.]

Oh, it's good to have a balance. And if you're both running things, then it's natural to negotiate with both of you, of course. [Some companies leave it to one person, some don't. Ren is flexible enough.]

Still, it's good practice for public relations, isn't it? Flustering so easily in front of an audience just won't do sometimes, and all I did was check in.

[Ren knows exactly why Gaku is actually flustering, but he's not a gossip.]
finethanks: (☆ 66)

[personal profile] finethanks 2020-01-12 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course.

[To all of that, really, he smiles. Ren will be Ren, he supposes... He can't deny that it's amusing, either.]

I appreciate your support and concern, all the same. If Yaotome-san speaks with you often, I have hope for his composure, yet. [He'll become resistant to all things that fluster, right?]
thedarkbond: (evil refuser)

[personal profile] thedarkbond 2020-01-13 11:32 am (UTC)(link)
Right? I like to think regular doses of me are pretty helpful in the long run. [Until Ren evolves new ways to fluster people, or just pulls them out from wherever he was hiding them. It's a fun challenge to try and get to people who become more resilient to that sort of thing over time.]

It is nice to know that he has someone a little more experienced with business helping him out, though. I was starting to think I'd end up a consultant.
