[The camera turns on, focused only on Lucifer. He's sitting at a table, looking through some paperwork with a deeply bored expression. He looks up and gives both the camera and a person you can't see a skeptical expression.]

And this is your income?

[A slight pause, then a muttered, "Yes."]I believe we both know that isn't the truth. Perhaps

I guess the saying about loan sharks being the devil's minions in disguise wasn't too far off after all.

[lucifer_aeterna]

Oh, I wouldn't say that. It hardly requires demons to encourage people to be foolish. They do it quite well on their own.

[00ne]

True enough.

...You can't deny you're encouraging it, though. That's not requiring it, sure, but it isn't quite letting them do it on their own, either.

[lucifer_aeterna]

I was merely making an honest assessment of risk. I believe that is what is required of me in this particular capacity.

[smokin_sis]

I'll bite. What type of jobs are you offering?

[Video]

[lucifer_aeterna]

I need a bartender and some waitstaff. Interested?

[Video]

[smokin_sis]

I have some experience in being a waitress. I wouldn't mind learning to be a bartender as well.

[lucifer_aeterna]

Very well. Why don't you drop by Lux some afternoon and we can discuss it?

[purplebiker]

You're offering work?

[lucifer_aeterna]

That's correct.

[purplebiker]

I'm interested. What kind of work are you offering?

[lucifer_aeterna]

I need waitstaff and a bartender.

[cyprian_swan]

Ah. Intriguing methods, my dear. And I should say, good help is ever so hard to find.

[lucifer_aeterna]

I'd say they're surprisingly standard methods, all told.

For this particular purpose, average help will do. Good would be nice, but it's often too much to ask for - I've learned to take what I can get.

[cyprian_swan]

The voice of experience, I see.

Ah well, I shall keep an ear out for you, if you would like?

[lucifer_aeterna]

I suppose you haven't had the opportunity to be acquainted with loan officers. Perhaps you should consider yourself fortunate.

If you like.

[heronpecked]

You sure you're not a politician?

[lucifer_aeterna]

I'm quite certain.

[heronpecked]

Tax-collector?

[lucifer_aeterna]

I'm afraid not. Were you seeking one?
