is it a toktik or is it a business ad? @chocobo

[ It begins with… a blink. Some guy with gravity-defying blond hair looks around, as if surveying the area for passer-by before he engages in what must surely be an embarrassing affair, like the filming of a TokTik. ]

This isn’t necessary, but—

Do you… need things done?

[ He sort of starts off strong before trailing off in classic Embarrassed Delinquent-esque reluctance. His eyes, locked ahead. His expression, stony. ]

For a fee, certain troublesome tasks can be done for you to satisfying completion. This includes but is not limited to: monster slaying, bodyguard duty, and… errands.

The fee will fluctuate depending on what a hassle I find it to be.

[ Another blink. Another look around. Something surely comes next, right? Damn. Is Cloud his own PR department? ]

… I look forward to working with you.

[ And just like that, the feed ends. ]

Not terrible. I can handle birds of various sizes and... large animals.

[ Does Red XIII count as one? Dog? Cat? Beast? Guy??? Whatever, fudging the details is the name of the game. ]

[redangelofpreventingharm]

What about small ones? Like...catching them?

[mesospheric]

I can do that. What do you need to be caught?

[redangelofpreventingharm]

Well, I've been trying to rescue the animals that are homeless around here. Like the cats and dogs. But they're skittish because they don't have people taking care of them, so it's been a little hard to help them...

[mesospheric]

Let's say I do give you a hand with this. What will you do with the captured targets?

[redangelofpreventingharm]

Oh, that's easy! I want to get them safe and sound so we can get them adopted! Leo and I have been looking around for a place to start up a shelter.

[ Okay yknow what? That’s pretty good. But how to go about it when he told someone more prickly that he doesn’t do freebies? Hmm. ]

Price is negotiable. Show me the area you want to hit first and I’ll get you an estimate.

[redangelofpreventingharm]

Okie! It'll help me get a good idea of what I gotta save up.

Been kind of looking around the southern part of the city so far but really, anywhere you spot one or two would be fine!

[mesospheric]

Now let's say I happen to catch one in my surveys. Where do you want to receive them? Do you have a facility in mind?

[redangelofpreventingharm]

Well, unfortunately I don't have a place set up just yet. I'm still trying to find a nice place that I can afford - short of maybe keeping one or two with me here in base.

It's still a work in progress but I figured I'd ask to see if you'd be down to help!
