3rd Contract - [video]

[conesoldstober]

[The video opens to what some may recognise as the ridiculous mess of Howl and Chekov's apartment. Stacks of paper litter every surface, and half-disassembled electronics have been left out unfinished. Howl is standing over a crude workbench, absolutely covered in various jars of strange coloured powders, roots, and what appears to be a jar of jellied eyes. Howl is combining ingredients in a fast and slapdash manner, pouring them into a large mortar and pestle and and speaking strange, barely-audible words over them. The ingredients glow, changing colour and consistency before Howl pours them all into various small vials and boxes. He labels them all with torn piece of masking tape, scrawling on them in spiky, barely-legible handwriting. They're all labeled such things as 'eyes', 'skin', and 'hair'. He makes notes on a nearby piece of paper as he goes, sticking the pen behind his ear when he's not using it. After his third potion, Howl glances to the camera, grinning. Yeah, he knew it was on.]

Good morning, City. I do love getting things done early while I'm feeling fresh, don't you? These-

[he holds up a small vial marked 'hair'.]

Will be on sale for a limited time. Normally I don't like selling them, but I need the cash for the more unusual spell ingredients. Consider it a one-time offer.

And while you're here -



Truth or Dare?


[ooc: yep, Howl sure is having his first curse. Do your worst, City. :-D Also, Howl's magical cosmetics will be on sale. Ever want hairdye that dyes your roots magically as it grows out? You just found your dream man. You're welcome.]

Hawking magical beauty products in the middle of a curse plague is not good business sense.

[conesoldstober]

And that's your opinion, is it?

[valentineluke]

You won't make much. Better to market after a curse's end, when people are feeling at their lowest and are in need of a 'pick-me-up'.

Packaging gives an impression of 'out to make a quick buck'. Show you're not a snake oil salesman. Put pride in what you created; give the impression you want to share it with the world and money is secondary.

Lastly; have to prove the product actually works. Set-up a 'Before & After' demonstration at one of Square businesses. Handout a few free samples, too.

I've been doing this for five years, my friend. You can keep the advice to yourself.

May have created a successful line back in the homeworld. But here, you're starting from scratch.
