Good afternoon. [ is it afternoon? perhaps.

To the video, a young man (he looks like a boy, even though he is an adult, kaneki suffers from "baby face syndrome", for sure) shows up; he smiles and then bows his head a little ]

I'm Ken Kaneki, I have just arrived. [ a small pause follows ] Or have been saved, I suppose. I'm still trying to fully understand what is going on, there is a lot to take. [ he smiles, but it's obvious how nervous he is ]

I was told there is magic and you can learn how to do it. Is magic really that simple in this place...? [ honestly, magic was just a fiction where kaneki is from, so this is certainly VERY new ] And there is also... kizuna? Or the two are the same... [ something like that? It IS confusing ] I'm sorry, this is all so strange.

I heard there are side effects, though. [ Kaneki is worried about that in particular, in fact ]

I imagine we would need lots of money for fancy apartments like that.

Clients?

[infernaltouch]

clients!

I'm a massage therapist! (＠°▽°＠)

And I've been doing it for a while and gotten some awards and stuff, so I'm really good at it. I figured being in a new unknown world can be stressful, so feel free to come to me if you need to relax! Are you over 18?

[anthropophagite]

I never had a massage before. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure I would be able to relax if someone was doing that to me.

And yes, I'm 19 years old.

[infernaltouch]

just making sure! I try to be professional of course, bit I still see massage as an intimate experience, so I feel kinda weird doing it to minors (;ŏ﹏ŏ)

But hey there, I'll take that as a challenge! I bet I can make you feel suuuuuper relaxed

Though that might be tricky if you never had one...I bet your bones and flesh is just all over the place

[anthropophagite]

[ considering kaneki has been hurt a lot... well, yes, all of his bones and flesh are probably all over the place indeed ]

I suppose I understand that feeling.

I wouldn't mind trying it. A massage, I mean, if you are up for the challange. I would pay, of course.

[infernaltouch]

you're so sweet

I bet you're adorable in person

Boy I should start working on getting my own work space. A lot of people are starting to show interest, and there's only so many times I can show up in strangers houses giving them massages before it starts looking sketchy (;ŏ﹏ŏ)

But until then I won't charge

[anthropophagite]

[ this is text, but kaneki is blushing ]

I'm not sure about being sweet or adorable...

I'd feel bad if I don't give something in return though. It's your job and hardwork, after all.
Although I'm not even sure what sort of payment and how much a massage would be.

[infernaltouch]

let's seeeeeeeee

I worked in two places. A high end spa and two seedier places in Kabuki-cho and ni-chome. You can imagine what goes on in there.

[He just straight up says it, the absolute madlad.]

red light massage parlors usually charge a lot more than regular more established places, but in my case, both charge the same since where I work during the day is more upscale. So abooouuuuut ¥100k-¥150k?

You sure you'd be able to pay that? (✧≖ ꒳ ≖)

[anthropophagite]

[ well, Kaneki wouldn't have imagined at all if Koro hadn't said that. But now he is imagining and Kaneki sort of... hoped he didn't.

but in any case, that's is still... a HUGE amount of money. Which kaneki does not have. ]

I don't think I'd be able to pay that much, sadly...

[infernaltouch]

hehe thought so

So don't worry about it, okay? ❤️

Massage is a passion of mine. I enjoy it sincerely

I'd do it for free if I could, but I charge because I gotta pay bills and stuff yanno

Of course once I get something established here I won't charge nearly as much since this is basically Japan 100 years ago compared to the Japan I come from

[anthropophagite]

yes, of course. It may be something you enjoy, but it is still work.

Sadly I don't think I will be ever to afford it, I have never had much money in my life, only enough to make due. Even here. [ because he spends it all on books ]

[infernaltouch]

that's why you should totally take my offer to get it done for free one time 8)

That being said, I have to get going now, but hopefully I'll see you around, Ken-channnnnnnn uwu
