VIDEO | UN: claude von riegan
Good evening, everyone! After the month we've all had, it feels a little bit foolish to get straight back to the dreary mundanity of businesses and job opportunities, doesn't it? But life goes on, and so do we.
[ Even on camera, his smile gleams. On camera is a handsome young man, curls tamed and gelled back with tan skin and startlingly green eyes -- and dripping with more easy confidence than anyone really ought to. Behind him is a familiar sight to anyone who's been here for some time: an apothecary, stuffed to the gills with hanging bundles of plants and herbs, jars and concoctions and tins lining the the walls. Claude himself is dressed casually, in a plain white linen shirt that he nonetheless seems to wear like it's the same as his fineries. ]
For those who haven't yet had the pleasure of making my acquaintance, the name's Claude von Riegan, and I am the humble proprietor of the local Apothecary. Some of you might be aware that we suffered something of a setback a couple months ago, but I've never been one to sneeze at that sort of thing. We've rebuilt things bigger and better than ever!
And to that end... I'm hiring! I'm in need of more hands to tend to my greenhouse, to embark out into the wilderness to continue investigating the local flora and, of course, an apprentice or two to learn the tricks of the trade to keep things going even if I'm not here to do it.
[ If he dies or disappears, he means, but he has no interest in addressing something so terribly dreary. ]
I have only one caveat: if you're working in the fields or the greenhouse, I don't much care what you think of the people here. But if you're to work at the Apothecary proper, I'm firm on one rule: no matter how much we may debate about the, uh... nature of those around us who aren't us Chosen, as far as I'm concerned, they're people. Regardless of their attitudes towards us, your job as Apothecarist is to help them, no ifs, ands, or buts. We help those in need. No exceptions, even if you regard them as nothing more than bits of code. [ A beat. ] Unless I personally dislike you.
Kidding, kidding! And for the rest of you who aren't interested in work, I hope to see you at my establishment soon. These expansions won't pay for themselves!
[ He gives a little wave to the camera before swiftly cutting the feed. Toodles! ]

[He's trying to laugh it off, anyway.]
Well, I didn't get the best grades in science, but I used to help my mom water her garden and weed it and stuff. It's stuff like that, right?
no subject
It's not so different from tending to a community garden. Just on a larger scale, and with higher stakes. People will be ingesting them, after all.
no subject
I-I-I'll try my best! I'm usually okay with that kinda stuff, if I'm careful.
I'm sure I can help out somehow.

[ Wait, he snuck that last one in... ]
no subject
[His nickname, not that it gets used all that often these days, was Loser Tsuna for a reason after all. Still, he'll cover that with a nervous laugh.
And with probably less confidence than Claude would like:]
I...I will learn well. I-I-I will be useful...I am good at what I put my mind to, and I will not steal the merchandise!
Hei?
