Operation 07 ~ Now Hiring!!!

[prideindeviousness]

[Voice]

Uh, um, excuse me fellow residents. I was wondering if I might procure some assistance in construction for a business venture I have planned. I would be willing to pay for any time spent until work is finished, since I am unfortunately not capable of succeeding on my own.

Thank you.

[Celia has on her best business smile for you.]

I perhaps may be willing to lend my butler for a certain cut on the profit. Just what are you planning to make?

[prideindeviousness]

[Someone here actually has a butler?]

I'm renovating one of the larger warehouses as a challenging laser tag arena. I have one strong pair of hands to help already, but things would proceed more smoothly with more.

Sorry, meant to say video |Dc

[countessinbloom.livejournal.com]

[She's totes posh like that.]

Laser tag arena? May I inquire as what exactly laser tag is? As for a strong pair of hands, my butler definitely has the muscle.

Well you said it now!

[prideindeviousness]

[Some people are so lucky...]

Players work on teams to score points by "tagging" opponents using laser light guns in a combat-style shooting game.

lol♥

[countessinbloom.livejournal.com]

[Lucky yes, the reason why she has him, not so much.]

Interesting, I'd like to have a demonstration on how this works soon.

[prideindeviousness]

[Well what Bentley doesn't know~]

If all goes as planned, I can open in two or three weeks.

♥

[countessinbloom.livejournal.com]

Perhaps even sooner~

[prideindeviousness]

That would be something to hope for. I plan to get the playing equipment made while renovations are going on.

[hasstandards]

And just what is it you're workin' on these days?

[Voice]

[prideindeviousness]

Do you know what laser tag is?

[audio]

[hasstandards]

I have no idea. Sounds like something Soldier would enjoy.

[Voice]

[prideindeviousness]

It's a point-based battlefield game where the objective is to earn points by shooting an opposing team member with a laser light gun, while avoiding having the same done to you.

[audio]

[hasstandards]

Game? So the guns don't actually hurt anyone?

[Video]

[prideindeviousness]

No point is the push each person's skill, endurance, and reflexes, without anyone dying.

((ooc: I was very tempted to link one of his in-game "No..." moments.))

[audio]

[hasstandards]

Hm. Sounds like it could be interesting, especially since this place doesn't have a proper respawn.

[Voice]

[prideindeviousness]

As far as I've heard you REDs and BLUs are the only ones to come from a world with a respawn system.

Anyway, it may be a couple of weeks before I'm able to open for a test run.

[audio]

[hasstandards]

It'll be longer than that before I can do anything with it. Not sure I could even walk and hold a gun at the same time at this point.

I might be interested once I'm back in workin' order, though.

[Voice]

[prideindeviousness]

I had noticed that you've apparently not been resting.

[Thank you open network.]

I'll be hoping for your speedy recovery.

[audio]

[hasstandards]

[An irritated snort on his end.]

I'm workin' on it. I can't stay cooped up all the time.

[Voice]

[prideindeviousness]

Believe me, I understand your position quite well.

[Better than anyone else in town right now.]

[audio]

[hasstandards]

Then you know why I'm not very good at resting.

[Voice]

[prideindeviousness]

Yes, but I also know that continuing to push it may result in a less than complete recovery and you'd be dissatisfied.

[audio]

[hasstandards]

Hmph. Right.

[Voice]

[prideindeviousness]

So yeah.

[No clue what to say now.]

[audio]

[hasstandards]

[He's silent a moment. Someone apparently doesn't like being reminded to stay off his leg.]

Right. Guess I'll be payin' your business a little visit when it opens, then.

[Voice]

[prideindeviousness]

[He could be off of his legs permanently, like Bentley.]

I'll look forward to seeing you then.

[audio]

[hasstandards]

Right. Later, then.

[Click.]

[prpl_assistant]

What sort of business venture are you planning, if you don't mind me asking?

[prideindeviousness]

I'm attempting to start a laser tag arena as an outlet for some of the more physically active members of the community.

[And those who seem more inclined to battlefields...which seems to be most of them.]

[prpl_assistant]

That sounds like a good idea. I'm not very good at construction work, but is there anything else I can help you with?

[prideindeviousness]

Hmmm...maybe you can assist me with assembling the equipment players will be using?

Vests need to be outfitted with laser tags and score counters. Knee and elbow pads will be needed as well.

[prpl_assistant]

Right.

I'd just like to request whether instead of payment, you could offer me and a few friends a free try at your lazer tag center when it's done?

[prideindeviousness]

I can agree to those terms. How many friends exactly?

[lcat_no45]

Sure, I have some free time. What's the project?

[prideindeviousness]

I'm setting up a challenging laser tag arena and need assistance in renovation.

[lcat_no45]

Interesting, sound like fun. Just let me know what day you need me.

When it’s done, can I use your place for my combat training?

[prideindeviousness]

Any days you're available..

That depends on what the combat training entails.

[lcat_no45]

Monday - Thursday I'm free, at nights I run my bar.

My combat training entails, running, jumping around dodging drones that fire rubber rounds at me, and shooting back at them with rubber rounds.

I most likely can mod the drones to work with your laser tag system.

[prideindeviousness]

Modifying would be preferable, so there would be less to clean up after.

And Monday through Thursday during the day is fine.

[lcat_no45]

Okay then.
Hmm... I just realize, I never got your name.

[prideindeviousness]

Just call me Bentley.

[lcat_no45]

Nice to meet you.

Call me Lynx.

[prideindeviousness]

Alright. I'll see you when you arrive then Lynx.

You can find the arena here. [x,y]

[lcat_no45]

Alright then.

If you're not doing anything now, I can stop by and show you one of the drones.
