[X] Mifune. Looking to work with someone who'll give protection to a certain individual.
[X] Konatsu. Male Kunoichi. Currently unemployed. Looking for long term master. Picture Included. More info.
Now, here we go.
After waiting what felt like months of waiting, but was really only five minutes, you were finally able to see the main draw of the sites.
The posted ads and profiles. Frankly, it was like a dating website, but for petty and major crime. Which...made it just a more aware dating site.
Still, the people were there to be hired by rich people in need of morally ambiguous gentlemen/ladies. Let's get to browsing.
You took a sip of your Mountain Crush: Crimson Comet flavored (1) slushie as you did so, helpfully brought to you by your bot during the stupid loading wait.
The pages scrolled by, a blur of text and images to all but your trained eyes, calculating the names and description of each profile.
"No, no no, literally build better, no, no, Already on Dad's Payroll, Uncle Rick, no. What the hell are Red Orbs and why are they capitalized? No, maybe, n-Wait a minute, is that who I think it is?" You murmured to yourself around your straw before suddenly jerking to a stop through your rapid scrolling, reeling back enough to send your semi-melting slush-cup out of your hand, though was thankfully caught by your Third-Arm suddenly lashing out to catch it.
You weren't even paying attention. Spoiler: TUBBIMURA- HAHA!
"MY NAME IS TUBBIMURA! YOU WANT SOMEONE DEAD OR MISSING? A PRICELESS RELIC YOURS! THEN GET OFF YOUR ASS SO I CAN GET ON MINE! FOR THE LOW LOW PRICE OF $2,000 A MONTH PLUS LIVING EXPENSES, I WILL BE YOURS. "
"I KILL FOR YOU LONG TIME!"
"Oh, what the flying FUCK Tubbi, you're seriously that cheap? And apparently racist? YOU AREN'T! EVEN! ASIAN!" You half yowled half guffawed at the sheer stupidity of what you just read. Did he seriously expect anyone to reply to that? You'd known the guy mot of your life, and even you think its a prank! Ha!...
"Ah, okay, I needed that. Back we go." You quietly snicked to yourself, settling into your chair with one hand, stirring your slushie with another, and using the Third-Arm to scroll the mouse. It seemed to like that.
And again it went for a few hours. Page after page of people, both completely outlandish and ordinary scrolling by, a few catching your interest but most out of your price range or availability for the moment.
Until...
"Ooh, who's this now? Spoiler: The Shooting Swordsman
Mifune
"I don't care how much you pay me. All I ask for is a safe place where I and those under my protections can no peace."
"However. If you dare to abuse my trust or endanger those I hold dear, prepare to lose your Soul."
"Wow...He's...Intense." You drawl out as you carefully read the mere two lines of dialogue the man had written, and the associated images that showed you, YES, he was worth it and/or could follow through with his threat.
"Though why does he have a kid on his back?" You question for a moment, before shrugging it off and continuing your browsing.
This time, it didn't take you near as long for someone to get your attention, if for... different reasons.
Seeing the vision of beauty on the screen immediately got you to stop, but it was the words underneath the picture that really got you to react. Spoiler: IT'S AN EARLY TRAP!
KONATSU
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Occupation: Kunoichi
"Greetings! I am Konatsu, seeking a new master! They must be willing to pay for food and lodging, as well as be able to endure potential surprise attacks from unexpected places and mobs! I will serve you to the best of my ability! Oh, you must also pay for my travel fees!"
*Please beware any wild-life that seems to follow me, they are very Dang- Friendly!*
"THAT'S A GUY!?" You yelled out, this time out and out throwing your drink, though thankfully empty, into the air. Behind you, the Third-Arm sash reacted in a similar manner, bolting straight up your back and just over your head, like an exclamation mark in cerulean fabric.
Okay, maybe it was time to take a break from the internet...
