Sure thing, my dude, do you mind if I keep working or is this something that needs my full focus?
no subject
[ He smiles at that; it seems Lucretia was right. ]
I have a question about these phones. It's a good way to reach out to as many people as possible right? I finally managed to get approval to buy a small store to both live and do my trade in.
[ He doesn't have to sleep in the community housing or busk on the streets! ]
Back home I did advertisements for the circus by charming people and entertaining. Could one do the same over the network?
no subject
[Hence the delicate floral design on the cookies, which he gives Molly a quick look at before the camera moves back to show his face as he listens to the question. ]
Oh, hey, that's excellent! And hell yeah, the network is a great way to get attention here, it's what I do whenever I'm bored. If you want a shout out on my instagram just send me the info and shit and I'll hook that up, especially if you wanna put together your own instagram, that's another way to get people to notice what you're doing.
[Taako's work is a aesthetically focused, so insta is especially useful for him, but anyone can make it work.]
no subject
[ She'll clean Taako out of pastries. ]
That's perfect, it seems easier in a place like this. What is instagram, though?
no subject
[Mostly a rhetorical question, since that's the main reason that people like bakers.
While he's at it, he takes a second to send Molly a link to both his personal and work Instagram.]
It's for pictures and videos, and if you're good at it, a lotta people will look at what you're doing. You're doing the fortune telling thing, yeah?
[Molly had mentioned it passing over coffee one day, so it seems like a fair guess.]
no subject
[ Then Molly is quiet for a while, checking out the different images and the texts that people put underneath them. It might be fun, even if he's not sure what to put up on it. Card formations? Images of his parlour? ]
Yes, I got a little one-room studio that I've been decorating to look as mystical as possible. The show is half the job, after all.
[ He angles the phone a bit to show the candles, lanterns, fabrics and shiny knicknacks. ]
It has a bed and a cooking area behind that fancy curtain.
no subject
[It's a cute little space, and it certainly looks mystical.]
So you could like, advertise on insta by making it look all exclusive and mysterious and people eat that shit right up. I bet there's like, candle and crystal places you could try partnering with, they might let you sell their shit with a little bit of a mark up so you can pull in some extra cash, you know?
no subject
[ He has to think of it like that and not that he's alone in this place and needs money to eat. ]
That's genius, though! I bought some crystals at a lovely little place called 'New Age'. I'm thinking I could get some from there, and tell people that they'll be charms and wards for any bad readings.
no subject
I fucking love it, people will pay extra if they think it's magic. And hey, if you want snacks on hand I can hook you up, give you the friends and family discount so it doesn't break the bank.
no subject
[ Even so, he tries to always make it positive. Leave people happier than before, even if it is fake.
...also aww, he's in the friends and family discount section already? ]
Hmm, what kind of snacks would be good at a reading? Probably nothing crunchy.
no subject
[There's a few seconds of fussing on the phone, before he sends Molly a picture of some cupcakes.]
If you wanna keep on theme I can whip up shit like that pretty quick, or I could do petite fours, something they can eat in one bite so you don't gotta worry about crumbs.
no subject
[ Sorry he's stunned at the fucking rock sweets. ]
no subject
It's sugar, water and food coloring, nothing too hard but you can do some real interesting shit with it. I've also got this new machine that prints with sugar so I could do fucking edible tarot cards if ya wanted.
no subject
[ He's joking. Mostly. ]
Let me set up a bit more and see if I can come up with a good advertisement for the parlour, and I'll be ordering some of those crystal cakes.
