[A very, very large stack of books sits behind V/V in her hotel room. She faces the camera.]

First, does anyone know how to successfully advertise? There wasn't anything like it on Venus, of course, since that would have been ridiculous. And I really want to do a good job for Gilgamesh, or he'll probably get mad... [As an aside:] Do you think he'd throw me out the window too? That would hurt more this time.

Um, second. Since there are a lot of books that weren't good enough to be in our store, or I guess that's the reason he gave them to me, if anyone wants to check some of them out I'd be happy to let anyone have them. Please stop by. It's nice to see people, too!

Did he honestly get rid of that many? We're all going to be out of a job...

[video]

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

I just got this job.

If he insists on running the bookstore like that, none of us are going to have one.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

He gave me free books, but... I can see why that's a problem. Um, I could pay you money for these?

[croibhristeoir]

You shouldn't have to. We really should try to get them back into the store somehow.

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

Heh, it takes a lot of effort to get people into your store. First, you gotta get their attention somehow. Fortunately, I'm the best that there is at doing that.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

Please teach me!

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

Well the easiest thing to do is go outside dressed in something eye catching, then just start yelling at people and asking them to come in. Tell them how much fun everything is at your store, and how all the other stores are terrible and full of cockroaches or something.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

Gilgamesh thought I should get dressed up, too. And he's always talking about mongrels, which are like cockroaches.

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's the spirit. It's gotta be a costume that says your store is a lot of fun, and that catches people's eyes.

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

You're not honestly going to assist that simpleton with any of his odd ventures, are you?

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

It's money. And he gave me free books.

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

You don't owe him anything. He'll probably have you doing something illegal in no time.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

I won't do illegal things.

[golden-nocturne.livejournal.com]

It's not that I don't trust you, I simply don't want him bullying you into anything.

At least make sure he pays you well and doesn't make you do anything too degrading, okay?

[Because being a mascot totally isn't degrading. Nope.]

[ yes, let's just.. ignore the topic of Gilgamesh for now.. ]

I would not mind taking some books off your hands, if you truly do not mind giving them away to people.

[ video ]

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

Okay. We're going to sneak some back into the store, but you can have some too.

[ video ]

[rocker]

Sneak some back in.. [ well, he doesn't want to take books if they're going back, but.. ] Are you sure that man won't notice?

[ video ]

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

He's not very attentive.

[ video ]

[rocker]

Perhaps he will just throw it out a second time like he never did it the first time around.

[Just...

kind of staring blankly at the pile of books behind V/V]

...You know.

Between your collection, and the mess I snagged, I'm starting to wonder how many books are even left there.

[This feeling is called a "pang of guilt."]

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

Probably not very many. I have no idea how I'm going to advertise and still be truthful.

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

There's a great deal of space you can twist and stretch the truth within before it becomes a lie.

...There's also the fact that omission of facts is not exactly a li- I'm starting to feel like a bad influence, here.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

Next I bet you'll teach me how to swear.

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

Profanities? No, I'm not very fond of using them freely. I'm not the most eloquent, but I know better words to be descriptive than those.
