[Video] June 8th [cw: sex work/prostitution]

[As Hanzo comes into focus he clears his throat, straightening his yukata as he gathers his thoughts.]

Greetings. If you do not know me, my name is Hanzo Shimada.

In light of recent events I have been more thoroughly considering starting a business to provide paid chroma replenishment services. For those who were left drained and suffering caring for dragon eggs due to lack of companionship, this would provide services to provide them with chroma to avoid depletion for a small percentage of chroma generated as payment.

Additionally these services may also be used by those who are looking for companionship further than hugging and hand holding for whatever reasons. We will not ask. I plan to have clientele remain anonymous if they so decide.

In order for something of this nature to be plausible I would need to know if there is any demand for such services and if there are any moonblessed among us that would be interested in employment as sex workers. You would be paid well, protected, and treated fairly. No one will have to take on clients that they, for any legitimate reason, are uncomfortable with.

[He leans back a bit casually in his seat instead of being rigid and upright. His father would be ashamed of his manners but made proud by Hanzo's initiative, so he briefly offers a smile as he moves stray strands of hair from his face.]

As stated before, I understand this topic may be taboo for some, so you are free to leave feedback publicly or anonymously. Could you support a business venture like this? Would you be willing to do work that is necessary but not necessarily easy? Let me know your thoughts, good or bad. All feedback is welcome.

Thank you for your time.

Shikizoku Zeku.

[The ninja mutters in his native tongue with a slight sigh of disapproval.]

This is...vanity, Hanzo. What should be "free" is being marketed as commonplace wares.

[Hanzo brings up a good enough point but for some oddity, this doesn't sit well with his morality. Why? Maybe because Yoshimitsu is a bit of a prude. Nevertheless, he won't deny that such a service would be helpful. Especially for people like him born and raised on the battlefield who lack the expertise for such relationships.]

This world functions on us seeking pleasure but in turn it causes our suffering all for the sake of chroma. There's no...no emotions attached to it, no feelings besides our constant yearning.

I know for myself that I've tried to fight against it but I always fail. Without a steady supply of chroma, we risk harming ourselves.

[He falls quiet for a time.]

But even so, will the regulation of general affections truly be the key to our survival? Doesn't this further complicate matters? Basic affections will be bartered and sold rather than freely expressed between potential lovers.

We'll become blind to our own vanity and forsake the purity of love.

In that case, I...[He pauses briefly, still clearly gathering his thoughts here.] I suppose I see nothing wrong.

[While he's uncertain regarding the morality of such things, Yoshimitsu cannot deny that Hanzo brings up a very good point.]

This is survival and in order for one to survive, certain measures would have to be taken to ensure it. While your business proposition certainly seems seedy to some, I do recognize that this idea could be beneficial for many.

This is why I shan't impede upon your path.

[This is the closest Hanzo will have in terms of Yoshimitsu's blessings on this matter. The ninja realizes now that he's ill-suited for this discussion.]

Though, this has sparked quite the debate.

[Of course Yoshimitsu cannot help but feel a little guilty for the slight bitterness in Hanzo's tone. However, he aims to soothe Hanzo's anger with some light encouragement.]

Salmon often swim upstream despite all odds. Same goes for those who think outside of societal norms.

Take heart, you can always rely upon my aid if needed.

Ouch! [A CRITICAL BLOW! That actually hurts, Hanzo.] Such an ornery old man!

It's a wonder why I tolerate thee. Must be the dashing looks since the personality could use some work.

[He snickers lightly.]

Fear not. My words are meant to tease.
braverpath: (面【Depart fiend】)

all this tsun! It's quite cute

Forty isn't so far away, ojisan. Lest you've forgotten due to your gray hairs.

[If this light bit of ribbing puts Hanzo in a better mood, then so be it. Yoshimitsu doesn't mind humoring him.]

I would prefer my own name, naughty one.

The Great Yoshimitsu isn't a clown! He's a proud warrior, one who've managed to defeat you in combat.

[Of course he'll never let Hanzo live that down. Nope. Not ever.]

Oh, I have many things to do but I choose to humor this cantankerous old man because I know he's quite kind.

[Pause.]

When he wants to be.

Until you've managed to defeat me of course!

[Get gud, scrub.]
