[ A good deal of you may not recognize this man: dark brown hair, blue eyes behind glasses staring soberly forward, and if you look for it, there are signs that the suit he's wearing hasn't been properly laundered for some time. He blinks before clearing his throat, then nods--at you, perhaps? ]

While we are on the subject of bringing order and usefulness here--

[ He pushes up those glasses. ]

As of today, I and my colleagues have started a freelance agency. To put it shortly, if you should need any service done--scientific research or development, bodyguard services, counseling, or cleaning, for example--any one of us will be able to assist you. For a negotiated fee, of course.

[ For the sake of a friendly appearance, he attempts a smile, though it seems a natural one. ]

I can guarantee that any task will be performed upon request for the right price.

[ The smile doesn't even fade as he again clears his throat. ]

Should anyone require our services, please contact me. My name is Seiichirou Tatsumi--Unit 141 in the East Wing, and you may contact me in any way you see fit. You may also contact Asato Tsuzuki, Yutaka Watari, or Hisoka Kurosaki--these three gentlemen and I will be happy to serve any way that we can.

....Counseling?

[What is this and why do you think any of them would be good at counseling Tatsumi. They all have a mountain of issues themselves without offering such services. You know Hisoka is an empath and Tsuzuki is a bleeding heart. Why.]

I mean. I assume there is a reason you didn't mention this to us before now?

I can do counselling, Bon~

[ :3 ]

[deathofempathy]

You? Wouldn't you be better to make potions or something?

[....Under Tatsumi's supervision of course.]

[scienceinacan]

I can give completely sensible advice!

My being better at making potions and wonderful inventions shouldn't change that!

[ No! Never! Watari works alone when it comes to potions! Everyone else are guinea pigs! ]

[ He still has that same smile on his face. ]

Kurosaki. You must agree that we can offer our services here. Of course, it also stands to reason that we be productive and help others, doesn't it? If we can gain a profit in the process, then all the better!

[ Note the voice is still pleasant, though with force behind it. SHould sound familiar, hm? ]

[deathofempathy]

I suppose. I'd just prefer if you run these by us first.

[Because. Yes he knows that tone. And Tatsumi and his reputation and there are certain things Hisoka would nope right out of.]

[occlusion]

[ Pause. ]

Yes, of course. Though it wouldn't do to put it up to a vote. I have a feeling Tsuzuki and Watari don't appreciate the value of a sturdy work ethic.

( gee willikers. this is what looks to be one of those salarymen hailing from the motherland with a well-established degree in anal-clenching. lo and behold the thing of your executive nightmares: rumpled shirts, deliberately rolled up sleeves, unbuttoned collars, hair length that seemed intent on utterly defying all business standards... a tie with the narrow end visible.

hire him. )

What if a client comes to you in need of a service, but without the money to afford it during one of our many crises?

[ "Executive nightmares"--more like "secretary realities". A certain co-worker has never been quite so neat, himself. ]

It would depend on the service requested and if it was necessary to perform. Of course, a credit line may also be established if it's needed. --Are you asking for someone you know?

[reversemole]

Me? I'm only posing hypothetical scenarios.

( in that case, the more the merrier. )

But if I did, and they had no way of honoring their credit in the long-term?

[occlusion]

[ Hm. ]

It would depend on the individual circumstances. Should someone leave through the Initiative's technology, then that would be a situation over which we'd have no control. However, any other reasons can easily be solved by simply budgeting the funds the Initiative gives to us.

--On that note, if someone needed financial services, I could be hired for that, as well.

Yes, Mistress Anne?

Mistress Boleyn.

[ Mishmashing the titles, now! ]

Be it no place of mine to say, but it seems strange to put soldiers to cleaning.

[occlusion]

[ one day he will get it right. ]

My apologies. It may seem strange, but if it is a task someone needs to have done, then it will be done.

Tatsumi's expertise is cleaning!

[ Volunteers Tatsumi for all things Anne~~ ]</small.

[ensorceler]

That is not how he originally explained his work to me.

[scienceinacan]

He cleans a lot! You'll find he's the best at cleaning of us four. So that should count as an expertise...

[hashtagyolt]

Any task, you say.

[occlusion]

For the right price, yes. Do you have a task in mind?

[hashtagyolt]

No, I just think you out to consider some fine print with that wording.

[video]

[omnomcinnabon]

Wait, what. Work? Again? I thought we were done after that whole werewolf thing.

[occlusion]

You can't possibly think that we wouldn't earn our way around here. Surely you don't mean to say that you would prefer being useless and poor?

[ Answer wisely, Tsuzuki. ]

[undealt]

Any task? [He's impressed, but in that amused "hahahaha yeah I bet any" kind of way. It's an ego thing.]

[occlusion]

[ He gives a small frown, pushing back up his glasses. ]

Another gentleman has already asked this question, but yes--within reason and if the price can be met.
