[This one's easy. It gets Harumasa out of the bubble doing something, and he's confident that he can be counted on for security. He might be lazy as hell, but he doesn't hold back when it's go-time. Plus, this seems easy enough.

And, also, Gilgamesh is paying for his healthcare. So. He feels obligated even if that's Jun's burden to bear for setting it up.]

Sign me up, Chief!

We might not be fully trained for security, but he seems like the type to respect assertive or at least audaciously confident people.

It's also a good opportunity for the Aides getting their name out there to a wider audience. High risk, high reward.

[What the fuck he wants to do work NOW?]

[Harumasa bursts into laughter the second he sees this gif.]

[UUUUUGH]

The ONE time I was hoping you'd fake sick.

Bleh, a rich person party and and I don't even get to wear a cute dress this time. [LAAAAME.

He'll do it, he's just bitching so he can go back to sounding professional to Maxima]

If wishes were fishes~!

Oooooh, Jun-chan has to show up in uniform~. I promise I won't hug you and keep it professional. This time.

Oh, yeah, and before I forget!

Liar liar cake on fire.

[The fuck does that MEAN, Harumasa. (He knows exactly what it means and it'll end harmlessly enough that he's more than okay being a little shit about it.)]

You better not. Shroud's presence is what's going to get you a good pay bump this mission. Hug me when you get the paycheck.

[?????]

... Shouldn't that go to Lycaon? I'm doing security, not catering. And Koukou's staying home, so that shouldn't be an issue.

[No he's not]

Roger wilco~.

Ah, should it? My bad, my bad, I'll send that to Lycaon, then.

[He will not.]

[That poor dog]

Mm, he was the one to send out the invitation to POKEGO, so it sounds like he's planning and catering this whole thing.

I suppose it was only a matter of time before a god took notice of his skills. At least it was Gilgamesh.

[Aka at least it's a god who will actually PAY for the services, unlike SOME]

I can't say I'm surprised. Lycaon's work ethic is pretty much in unhealthily anxious territory, but good luck getting him to therapy. I think he'd study the DSM and lose track of what therapy's supposed to help with.

Still, I think this will be a good opportunity for him.

Ha, I don't know, maybe he's not ready now but he might be down the line. He seems more comfortable than he when he first got here. Apparently he didn't have any family or pack, so I think the anxious work ethic was some means to try to prove he's worth keeping around. But lots of people really like him here, so I think that's really helping a lot.

[As it tends to do so. If this city was incredible for one thing, it was given outcasts like them a place to belong]

Though yes, I'm sure he will study the DSM. I can't judge, I did the same before I agreed to therapy.

Yeah, he's the kind of person who will learn how to plan and coordinate an entire wedding, including the choreography of the dance, and claim that it's "just things a bartender should know."

It is not.

That's just Lycaon.

I've worked as a bartender once, I know it's not "just bartender things."

[He didn't make it a career like Lycaon did, but he did indeed do that (13).]

[....]

Ah.

I thought what he said was part of bartending work sounded a little over-the-top when he explained it, but I don't know much about the trade at all so I didn't question it.

The gods are never going to give him up are they.

Never ever.

He's a good dog. Gods like dogs. Lycaon will always be loved by gods.

Don't be shocked if suddenly they start drafting who gets custody of Lycaon when.

... They would do that.

[Uuuuuugh]

If they approach looking for mediation over a joint custody agreement with Lycaon, PLEASE fake sick so I have an out?

Can do, little bro! That's an easy one that I want no part in~.

[snfsnf

snfsnfnsf

He feels like he's being talked about somewhere.]

ヽ( ⌒ω⌒)人(=^‥^= )ﾉ

Glad we're on the same page.

[Dealing with god drama is the WORST]

Advertising our services to high society will only exacerbate my reservations.

Still, it sounds like not all the invitees will be of the same social class as the one organizing it, so you do have a point. I'll mark you down as willing to go.

Yeah, but even people not in high society are gonna watch and listen. Whether we like it or not, people listen to those rich people.

And, yeah, they invited POKEGO from the sounds of it. Which means that it's more or less just an excuse to get Mydei some friends, connections, etc, while under the guise of a fancy party. We can network, too, with people more or less inclined to seek our services for more reasonable requests.

Also, total agreement with Shroud up there about the idea of Gilgamesh handling something himself sounds like a worse nightmare than dealing with the upper crust, painful as that is to admit.

It's true. He's not someone I'm interested in trifling with, which is why I wanted to poll the membership for opinions before making a decision.

I suppose I should work out what I want our rates to be for something like this, then.

Mhm mhm~.

I'd ask Shroud if he's able to come along. He's dealt with Gilgamesh before, so he probably has a good idea of how much he can push without getting into trouble.

Looks like he's on board, and we'll be charging on his pay scale. That will help offset the awkwardness of the situation.

Woohoo!!! Now I can get the cat tree reupholstered~!

[Unfortunately, it needs it (10).]

Mm, it's pretty straightforward.

Gilgamesh is a demigod, king, and billionaire. As such, he should be treated differently than our usual clients.

- Gods and Kings like to showcase their power. Gilgamesh uses money to show his power.
- Do not offer him a discount. He will take this as a slight.
- Do not undersell your services, he will make you regret it.
- Hold your head up high and understand your worth: he will respect you more this way.
- Do not grovel.
- Do not react if he's naked.
- Do exactly what job you said you would do. Don't put in extra effort in an attempt to win his approval, he's not insecure enough to fall for suck-ups.
- Absolutely do not let ANY harm come to any people he considers His. ESPECIALLY Sampo Koski.
- While you're employed to him, he will be fair to you as he sees you as His as well.

[Totally... straight forward]

[what the fuck is with this guy how likely is it that he'll show up naked]

I think I understand. Very well.

[time to put on his politics face. he negotiated with a thing pretending to be the crown prince once. ~~never mind how that turned out~~ he can do this.]
