[Well, he was going to do this today anyway, but with the new threat looming over the village, now's as good a time as any.

Three cheers for peaceful village life.]

Morning, everybody. Hope we're all well-rested, because today's gonna be busy...

Brave Vesperia, I think we should all be at the meeting. Can we do a role-call? Wanna see how many of us are still around. Another thing- might as well try to get this started.

Luke and I were talking, and we were thinking it would be good to get a summary of skills for the guild to keep track of. You know, so we're more of an anything-goes guild. I'm sure all of us are kind of tired of just building stuff. [He's looking at you, Sokka.] Anyway, if you could just let me know what kind of stuff you're good at, combat or otherwise, whatever you think might be useful to someone, it would really help! I'll look into making some kind of catalogue. [Or find someone to do it, since paperwork is not his thing.]

For those not in-the-know, Brave Vesperia is a guild of skilled people who get together to pretty much do whatever the village needs. I'm Zack Fair, and I've been running the guild for a while now. We're always open to new members, so if anybody's interested, just give me a ring.

[Now, with that sorted-]

Guild business aside, I also work at Good Spirits, the local bar here, along with Buffy Summers. Our staff has taken a big hit lately, so if anyone's free for taking a few shifts serving customers, we could use some help. Drop by the bar later today if you're interested.

[Zack will be at the meeting, then around the plaza close to home, and then bar later on, so feel free to find him wherever is most fitting.

For those who can't respond, Zack will bring this up at the next BV meeting. Some sort of indication of your character's response would be appreciated!]

...Uh... job satisfaction?

[Dude it's not like there's money here, and everything is free. What else would you get?]

I meant incentive that would actually be enough to convince someone to volunteer.

Nope, sorry, I've got nothing. Anything you'd get out of Good Spirits, you can get just by becoming a customer. No extra perks- except getting to know our lovely bar staff, maybe.

... tell me more about this staff.

[He's curious now, okay.]

[Aww yeah, hooked.]

Besides me, it's all women! Fabulous women. Beautiful women. Women who could totally kick your ass - and mine - if they wanted to. Doesn't get much better than that!

If you'd just said that at the beginning, I'm sure you'd have a lot more takers.

I'm not about to advertise them like they're a display item- it's a bar, not a pimp shop. Plus I'd get my ass kicked. Remember? They can do that.

And to some men, that would make the job even more attractive.

You gotta take the job for the right reasons, man. I don't think that's the one at the top.

You use whatever bait is the most effective if you want results.

Well, if the girls want to show off to recruit a few people, they're welcome to it. But I'd rather not be the one to hire on the lechers and pervs!

That shouldn't be a problem if the women are as strong as you claim. Even the perverts should learn to behave themselves within a week or so.

Hey, man, just because the ladies can handle it doesn't mean they deserve to get hassled. Good Spirits needs to be a good working environment! We'd be screwed if they quit.

Then let them have the final say on who gets hired and your problem is solved.

They usually get final say regardless.

[He makes an amused sound.]

I can't say I'm surprised to hear that either.

Well, there is a saying: happy women make a happy village!

You sound like you know that from personal experience.

Well, sure. I grew up in a little village in the middle of nowhere, and that was a phrase to live by, for sure.
