4th Act

Who: Everyone involved in Joker's circus!
Where: Goldenrod
When: Throughout March 16th
Summary: Time for some good ol' fashion practice! And perhaps the first time plenty of folks will meet their coworkers.
Rating: PG at worst
Log:

A lot of work has been put into this day. Warning's been given, transportation has been worked out, and a space has been found! All of those who've been roped into Joker's circus one way or another have been sent directions and an address to a very large warehouse in the city. Inside?

A circus performer's paradise.

There's some acrobatic things way high up and a tightrope all prepared. (A safety net should assuage anyone's worries, hopefully.) Plenty of weights in all sizes are in one corner. Another has some hoops and balls. Basically if you can imagine it, then it's probably around here somewhere and there's enough space for all sorts of people and Pokemon to practice together.

Since the ringleader of the circus is also fairly considerate, there's a table set up close to the entrance people will be going through. It's a pretty long one, every inch of it covered in various fruits, snacks, and sandwiches. There are some large tubs filled with ice cold water bottles too.

So get to practicing, everyone! And don't be afraid to go check out your coworkers or their Pokemon, either. Your ringleader can't be the only one getting in everyone's business.

[Angel, please enjoy this one-part spoken (Nor) and one part interpretive dance (Nand) history of the mathematical symbols that are the names of Sho's pokemon (Riemannian Zeta-Function excluded), what they mean, and why Belphe (aka "mommy" - the Eevees have separation anxiety) gives all the ones with longer names (Z Notation Spot, Up Tack With Circle Above) nicknames ("Spot", "Tack"), and generally the crazy that is being with Sho.]

Usually not, but it can. Don't over-pay the talent. Pay well, but don't over pay or you're likely to start having people develop more ego than they ought to and that can hurt the business big-time if they start getting into ego wars about who deserves to be paid most, who deserves extra bonuses, etc.

Face it, there's only room for one given giant ego in any business, and I've got that one all tied up. [It's...about 1/64th of a joke? He's working on his ego problems, but wryly aware that it's still big enough to be called a full-on egosphere with it's own weather systems and everything.] Not being part of the talent, though, I at least don't have any reasons to demand more money for being awesome.

[He will earn any raises he gets by being just that good, thanks.]

Money can do weird things to people. [Really, Sho liked money more as an abstract than anything else. Accounting? That was fun. When he got paid, he'd just shove it all at Belphe and let her deal with the boring parts. Like buying things.] Glad you're the one dealing with them instead of me. I'm a damn good leader, mostly, but I'd rather just be with the numbers.

Sound good to me. [Sho ambled along towards a table, followed by RZF and her passenger. The twins were happy to keep talking/playing with Angel and if she didn't go along with Joker they'd find Sho later.]

[They haven't hats, but they do have questions!]

Start where you feel most comfortable. [Sho says, taking up enough space that he has got to be a teenager. Nobody lounges like a teenager.]

[Damn straight! Ones that used to be something not entirely unlike very minor death gods ("Reaper" is a translation of "Shinigami") take the gold even amongst the modern.]

Makes sense. Probably a base rehearsal pay, and a base performance pay? Going to cap the number of rehearsal hours they can log? [He makes a note] Gotta figure out what overtime laws are here.
yoctogram: (Do the math.)

Let me know what you need researched, and I'll do it. [Or fob the boring pieces (Sho's version of boring) off on Belphe.]
