I need advice!

( Hello network, here's your friendly neighbourhood Stampede about to fully launch into something with no forewarning and no introductions. It's how he makes friends ... and also enemies, don't worry. ) So, we have to get jobs, right? But I'm not exactly sure what I'd be good at. I usually just do whatever people need around the towns I'm visiting, which means I know a little of most things. But I figured this place was new and people might be a little more cautious about that. So I made flyers!

( In one hand - metal, blue sometimes sea green - Vash holds up a stack of leaflets. )

Only when I was trying to give them out I got a lot of dirty looks so can someone tell me what I've done wrong! I really want to be useful while I'm here.

( Turning the flyer around so that his ( unfortunate ) captive audience can see. The design is obviously home made, and probably in a rush. On the paper it proudly proclaims

VASH THE STAMPEDE
RENT BOY
WILL DO WHATEVER YOU NEED
COST: ???

Below that is a crude drawing of the man himself - a stick figure with a triangle body ( his coat, sadly missing ) and a mass of spiky hair. It has a crude beaming smile on the circle of a face. )

Is it the drawing? I could have done better I guess, but I was in a hurry. ( A pause, a slow dawning realisation. ) Aw, shoot. It's the name, right? I didn't use my civilian name! Crap, that's probably a no-no.

( Nothing else could be the issue.

... Right?
)

Uh. I'm guessing the name's not so much the issue as is the advertisement itself. Take it from me, wording is everything when it comes to self-promotion.

It has to be more snappy! Like... "Guy for hire: whatever you need, with speed!" And what YOU need is a top-notch artist to give your ad a visual pop that'll catch people's attention!

And it just so happens I work for cheap as an artist, if you're interested!

You see? And it's more memorable, so you'll stick in people's minds longer!

[If he could reach through the screen and pat the guy, he would. Seems like he needs some moral support rather than being scolded for his attempts at drumming up business. Because boy how does Yato know what that's like.]

Donuts, huh? I can't blame you. The food we get isn't exactly the most thrilling. You gotta treat yourself to something familiar and nice when dealing with this crazy world-hopping shit! Though I get the feeling we're in the same line of work, really.

...hey, instead of trading jobs or fees, maybe we could team up or something? Two guys can handle twice the workload, right?

[ that's all he gets at first. sorry vash. but in his defense, this is funny? ]

well, not gonna lie, the drawing probably isn't helping. but that's not "dirty looks" level bad. that's cuz it sounds like you're you're hooking. course they might just be confused because you're trying to do it via flyer. that's a weird approach for that kind of work, I assume

[ boy, THIS TAKES HER BACK to her teenager days ]

The drawing isn't the problem. [ not the biggest one, anyway.] Or the name, I think. Most people might think it's a scam or a joke when they read something like this, um. Instead of "Rent Boy" [ she's avoiding eye contact with the network as she says this........ ] You could use something like "Professional Jack of All Trades" and list things you're particularly comfortable helping with or are good at.

... A flat rate cost would help too. Not question marks. "Open to discussion" works just as well.

[ The problematic name goes over Laios' head. Instead, he's focused on that crude artwork, and in his true fashion, he's going to "actually" at Vash with his own art. ]

It's probably because the art isn't eye-catching, but I drew something up for you!

[ and he sends an image of his art. Did he somehow make this worse? ]

Sorry, I can't draw people, but I can draw animals and other creatures!
