[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!

Man, too bad you didn't do this a few months ago, when all of those costume stores were open. They had all sorts of cool things you could dress up as, clowns, giraffes, superheros...

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

Do people really want to buy books from a giraffe?

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

Who wouldn't want to buy books from a giraffe? If I saw a giraffe advertising bookstore I would definitely go in there.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

Okay. I'll consider the giraffe.

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

A good decision. Your store will be irresistible.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

What if Gilgamesh doesn't like the giraffe?

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

It's not your fault if he can't understand greatness.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

I work for him now. It's bad if he's upset.

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

Pffft. Just because he is your boss doesn't mean he knows what he is talking about. If he doesn't want to make any money I guess that's his call.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

...Are you sure?

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. What's the worst he could do to you?

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

Violence.

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

[Workplace violence: something Miki knows all to well.]

Well he isn't your father. Hit him back.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

But he'd hit harder.

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

Poison him first. Then he wont be strong enough to fight.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

I don't want to hurt him even if he hits me.

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

You should. He doesn't have any right to treat you like that.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

I just don't want to hurt people again.

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

There's nothing wrong with hurting him if he hurts you though.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

Yes there is. He's human.

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

Aren't you human too?

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

Now I am. To put it simply - um, originally I'm an alien.

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

Ooookay...

But if you still were an Alien you could do way worse things than beat him up and no one would care. Mean people always get their comeuppances like that.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

No, I wouldn't. I love humans too much to ever want to hurt them again. But it's okay if I get hurt.

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

Well if he's hitting you because he gets mad at you at work he's a monster, you really shouldn't respect him that much anymore.
