[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!]

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.
no subject
There are more than you'd expect, so it'll be good to organize to help people advance their careers. Anyway, I'm... I'm leaning on the staff a little more now. You don't have to make a big deal out of it.
[Sigh. This guy.]
I want to know how you can make a business offer sound vaguely lewd.
no subject
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.]
no subject
[Even if that's his MO and Gaku knows it. Shit. He's gotta be professional though, so he's just going to straighten up a bit and clear his throat.]
Yeah, I'm putting the right people in the right places, you don't have to worry about that. I... appreciate your assistance before, though. We'll keep up a solid business relationship.
no subject
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.]
no subject
Gaku is trying so hard to keep his composure and not fly off the handle with embarrassment. The business talk helps.]
If you want to work with us more formally, I'm open to talking about it. I don't mind keeping you around in an advisory capacity; still, whatever people can offer to help us get a leg up, I'll take. And we can negotiate compensation.
[He means.]
Monetary.
no subject
[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.
no subject
[He looks thoughtful.]
We've got enough people for that? Yeah. Or a variety show.
no subject
[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.
no subject
...Sorry, I didn't mean it like that.
[There's a lengthy pause before he can continue, embarrassed as he is.]
Right. Most of what we'll need is speakers and LED screens. Big ones. I don't know that we're looking to buy, seeing as most of our acts will be smaller than, say, TRIGGER and fine starting out. Renting is probably more cost-effective for now.
no subject
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?
no subject
[Think of Ryuu. Think of Ryuu's worried face. Business, and ignoring the first part.]
Headset mics would help; we've been mostly using hand mics. Can you source custom colors? Actually... I'd be willing to buy those, for TRIGGER at least.
no subject
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.]

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.
no subject
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.]
no subject
[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?]
no subject
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.
