[ kaz has been here for awhile now, but hasn't managed to actually post to the network. until now. the video opens with kaz and nami, sitting next to each other. kaz looks the perfect picture of an adult businessman ready to offer a deal. ]
Good Afternoon, Audentes. Here in Woodhurst, there are opportunities available to us that weren't in Perdition's Rest. [he means it in a general way - business, taking advantage of resources - but jesper picks a pretty great time to walk past in HIDEOUS colors. so that too.] But those opportunities cost money, and the meager budget ALASTAIR gave us won't last for very long.
[ if kaz is the very image of a businessman, nami is his perfect opposite: the miniskirt she wears is certainly not appropriate for any legal job... she picks up the sales pitch with ease and enthusiasm, though.] You could always work long hours to support yourself and any supplies we might need for this mission to really succeed... or you could let us help you!
["""help"""]
As it just so happens, we're feeling generous about a recent acquisition, and are willing to lend out some extra money to help with your ventures. The money can be repaid in interest or via favors of equivalent value.
[ kaz nods towards nami, who they've agreed between them that she can take care of the interest aspect. he could do it himself, of course, but he'd rather let her feel like shes contributing something here. ]
[ she hmphs, clearly there's been some disagreement here... ] Yes, really generous! Too generous, in my opinion. Anyway, the longer you take to pay us back, the more you'll owe us, so keep that in mind! [ pausing, she points imperiously at their so-far imaginary audience. ] Ah, and if you die, then we get the right to confiscate anything we want from your belongings, to pay for your debt! It's just fair, don't you think?
[ even death won't save you from this particular debt collector... ]
Moreover [ and clearly, more importantly ] Ghezen frowns on deals made in bad faith. We'll hold up our end of the bargain if you hold up yours. Feel free to contact us here or either of us privately if you wish to discuss.

[ look at that demeanour change when it's a girl and a friend she's talking to... ] Think of it as partnering up! We helped each other during the snowball fight, right? It'll be just like that, just without the snowballs! Or the mock-battle.
[ so.......... not the same at all?? ]
no subject
[You're going to become her role model at this point....]
Soooo, you'll give me lots of money if I help you throw snowballs at people?!
[That's definitely what Nami said, right]
no subject
[ as long as Maya doesn't start thinking of snowballs as a proper weapon against the infected then it's all good... maybe. ]
I'm sure there'll be a chance for you to help me out in the future! ... with something else than throwing snowballs at people.
no subject
Like what...?
no subject
[ she has a bad feeling about this, but she has to ask, anyway. ] How good are your zombie-fighting skills, Maya-chan?
no subject
[MIMES CHOPPING and various other attacks]
[don't be fooled, Nami, she can't fight zombies]
no subject
Ah... right, maybe we'll think of something else.
[ SORRY MAYA she's made a decision to protect you from all the zombies ever now, thankuverymuch ]
no subject
What? C'mon! I can totally kick zombie butt!
[TRIES TO DO A HIGH KICK and falls on her ass]
[gj Maya]
no subject
I... don't think you actually want to kick them, you could get infected like that! Better to stun them with something from afar. Ah, actually, let me get you a bottle of pepper spray.
[ MAYA PLS can you take some safety precautions...... ]

[And now she's butthurt!!! Thanks a lot, Nami]
no subject
[Listen, Nami, she's obviously swole and hardcore?? Stop doubting her amazing (lack of) biceps??]
Pepper spray? Why would I want to spray pepper in their face? Mustard would be way better!
[This may be a joke, but it's not safe to say]
no subject
You see, pepper hurts their eyes, making it impossible for them to see for a moment and allowing you to get away! But... ehh, I guess mustard would work, too. It's a little messy though, don't you think?
no subject
Wouldn't salt sting more...? Plus, if it's mustard, they might get distracted and try to lick their own face! If they really like hot dogs. Or want some condiments on their braaaaains!
[Zombies with gourmet tastes!!]
no subject
Ah — but that's a brilliant idea! If they stop to try and lick their faces, isn't that a good distraction, too? Hm, maybe we really should try that!
[ OR NOT HOW IS THAT A GOOD IDEA ]
no subject
Yeah, see, exactly! Mustard's way better than pepper! It's delicious, stings when you get it in your eye [how does Maya know this? It's best not to ask] and distracting! It's a great plan!
no subject
[ she indeed wonders how she knows that, except the answer is pretty self-explanatory... the better question would be why, and she likely won't want to know the answer to that, either. ]
Mm, sure! We should keep it in mind. So be sure to travel everywhere with a bottle of mustard from now on!
no subject
Will do! Thanks for the tip, Ms. Nami -- you're really smart about this stuff!
[What Have You Done, Nami]
