[the video's on, but it's hard to tell, because all you can see right now is the inside of a pocket. Two voices, however, are coming in loud and clear.]

...think I'm going to let you intimidate me, you faggy little nobody? Let me set something straight for you, okay, you're a newcomer and a glorified dressmaker. I don't give a shit what you think you saw because it doesn't mean shit.

[and a calm, cool, familiar voice - ] What I saw was you using your powers to illegally charm my fellow female employees. I had wondered why I couldn't figure out your ability before. It only works on the opposite sex, doesn't it? Is that how you were able to convince Mdme. Depaul to sign Marées Bleues over to you?

The old biddy was old news, and old news gets moved over for new news. That's the way of the world. I saved this company. We have new contracts, a new lingerie line -

Then you admit it. [Uryuu's voice tightens.] You're despicable -

What I'm admitting is that this company is moving in a new direction with new, AGI funding, and our new backers don't like a lot of backtalk. It's something we have in common. [a chair squeaks back sharply, there's a rustle of movement -] So if you ever think of coming in here and talking to me like this ever again, piss bag, know that I've got big dogs on speed dial who'd love to use you as a squeaky toy -

[the video suddenly clears, as Uryuu pulls the NV to reveal the shocked expression of a a handsome thirty-something-year-old man with auburn hair and a business suit. A man currently gripping Uryuu's shirt collar. Said man looks has clearly become aware of the recording light.]

Would you... like to repeat that, Mr. Robles?

[he slowly grimaces and shoves Uryuu back, hissing between his teeth.] You're fired.

Good. Because I also quit. [the feed ends.



...and when it returns fifteen minutes later, Uryuu is standing outside, coldly smoothing his hair back into place and patting at his ruffled clothing.] I'll be taking solo commissions from now on. Inquire within.

Nice.

[ voice ]

[sequincy]

At least these are useful for some things.

[ voice ]

[underachiever]

You gonna sue?

[Video]

[fightswithpurpose]

That's the new owner of Maree Bleues?

[Video]

[sequincy]

Unfortunately.

You may want to put in your resignation now, Nelliel-san.

[blackmoonrising]

[Still pale, still hospitalised and still looking exhausted, but he's also bored as anything.]

If you're quitting you should just punch him.

[video]

[sequincy]

Everything can't be solved through punching.

Also, you had better be in bed.

[deathknellgrell]

Eh~?

You'll still be able to make my WEDDING DRESS, won't you?

[Video ]

[sequincy]

Of course. It will only take me a little longer to get the materials without the company's storeroom to use.

[wingedcrown]

Gross. What an asshole. And good on you for telling him off.

voice;

[sequincy]

Now the only question is my next step.

[inthejunk]

That was pretty badass.

[sequincy]

[NEVER BEEN CALLED THAT BEFORE]

Really?

[voice]

[vestalvogue]

Wow. I think you are potentially lucky to have been able to walk out alive.

[HUMANS SURE ARE WEIRD.]

[voice]

[sequincy]

I'm certain the thought to prevent that crossed his mind. But he understands the recording was being broadcast; killing me wouldn't have changed that, and would have immediately made him the prime suspect for my murder.

[voice]

[gaveherwings]

Ah, the ways of scandal. Even in the midst of an outbreak, the domineering business world turns on-

Are you quite alright?

...I'm afraid still have my hands full for the moment, Mr. Ishida, but when these overtime hours go through, we'll see about what Franz wants to put in for summer.

[voice]

[sequincy]

...Is someone there with you? You sound distracted.

[Video]

[asano_san]

You're not going to end up in jail, too, are you?

[Video]

[sequincy]

- What? Why would I end up in jail?

[Audio]

[angel_of_death]

Are you some sort of tailor?

[Audio]

[sequincy]

A sewist. I design as well as fix.

[video]

[faustianism]

Why not create your own business? Shouldn't be that hard.

[video]

[sequincy]

I may. Perhaps solo. I work better on my own.

[Video]

[scienceshow]

[And Szayel can't help but applaud.]

My, Quincy. That was rather bold, even for you.

[Video]

[sequincy]

It was handling an issue. [LIKE HE'LL HANDLE YOU SOMEDAY.]
