My sweet academy!

[Voile is bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.]

Do you know what we're missing that we haven't had in quite some time? And I understand that is mostly my doing, however, I'm going to make up for that. The last contest hall and host club gathering was a success. We should have another one, and I've already begun work for a springtime celebration for the end of this month.

So what do I need? [Not eggnog.]
Volunteers. And believe me, I'll pay you handsomely. In food. Money, I guess if you need it or want it. Tailored clothes? Sure.

While not necessarily in need of a full committee, I'm interested in ideas for decorations and outfits. Although I'm very tempted to make flower themed outfits for everyone. I assure you, I could make flowers manly, too.

But if you're interested in lending a hand, whether helping me prepare, or playing the part of a host, you should say something here. There will be prizes and other such things, so it might be a good way to calm down after Valentine's Day. There's plenty of time to get involved and no rush. I promise.

It is very much like that. Except I'm... combining them together. At one point in time, I'd planned on doing contests separately, and someone else here used to handle the host club. But consider it like dinner and a show. The work isn't too hard, and all positions are like that. I want my volunteers to have a good time, too.

[thishereismonapizza]

Neat, thanks so much for the explanation. Sounds all rather fancy regardless.

If you're still looking for volunteers I'd like to offer up myself as, well, a volunteer. Wherever I'm needed I possibly have the skills you're looking for.

[liberatedempath]

I do like fancy things, so hopefully I can make it a bit fancy. Can I ask what you did before you came here? If I have an idea of what you were occupying your time with before, I might be able to better understand what kind of position would be best for you. Or something you might enjoy more.

[thishereismonapizza]

Sure! I have quite a list of credentials available so there might be something to your interests!

[Quite a list is stretching it. The proper term should be LONG. Easily her resume would be almost as thick as a phone book. Well not really, but it's getting there.]

My last occupation on arriving was that of a photojournalist, so essential snapping photos for the newspapers. Currently I'm running my own pizzeria and I'm still employed as a video game designer, although I don't know how the latter job fits into your bill. Previous to those three jobs I've experience in working at restaurants as a waitress, and for a short run a bassist. I can sing too, except I'm afraid it's been a long, long while since my last gig. Kind rusty you know? It will be surprising if I even remember how to!

[Her eyebrows shoot up so quickly that it's a wonder they don't entirely fly off of her cute little humanised head. Mona's not kidding, is she? She's perfectly qualified. Overqualified, actually. Voile's going to have to dig into her pockets for this one...]

That's impressive. I mean, that's really impressive. [Excuse her while she wades through some shock here and there.]

Since you are so versatile, what would you enjoy doing most? It's true that I need hosts and hostesses. On the other hand, if you feel like taking photos of the winners, I'd like to hang them in the contest hall. In fact, I'd like all of the host club and contests to have photography. I want to show the growth and the development of our hard work and our time together.

But I want you to do something you'd enjoy.

[thishereismonapizza]

Honestly I enjoy pretty much any job thrown my way, but if you insist, I'd be more than happy to fill in as a photographer for you. Works out evenly in a way too; you get memories for the host club and contests, and I can build a portfolio from the experience. Sounds like a good trade off, wouldn't you agree? Well, to me it sounds like an equal trade.

[liberatedempath]

I think that sounds perfect, actually. If we both benefit, then there's nothing to lose. I'm not very particular over pictures either, but I'd like photos of the contest winners. And of the contest hall and things like that. Should be easily doable for you, I think.

[thishereismonapizza]

Perfect! Will you require samples of my performance to give you an idea of my work? Lighting, composition, all that jazz? I'd like to know what you expect out of the photos before I begin the photo-shoots.

[liberatedempath]

Oh... I trust you. I can't imagine you would say something without the ability to back it up. Although, I would like it a great deal if you'd take other photos of the contest hall, costumes, and such things. If you're as good as you say, I can think of quite a few things I'd like to have you do.

[thishereismonapizza]

Not a problem for me, I can take photos of all that and more. Provide me with a list and I'll get my camera to snap to it's heart's content. Well you know, if cameras did possess hearts they probably would snap away to their content.

Ahem, anyway. Before I get this gig started I feel the need to bring up one important thing;

[Her tone of voice now grows serious in a matter-of-fact business fashion way. Mona is a dignified business woman at heart despite her cutesy exterior.]

Seeing how film isn't such a cheap commodity in these trying times, I will not work for mere peanuts, if you get my drift. Hiring a photographer for free won't cut it at all. As you have so pointed in your broadcast you'd be willing to pay handsomely. And I, certainly for one would like to be paid in return for my services.
