Despite the rather troubling events happening, business, apparently, marches on. In this case, mine. I've discovered that I'm it a bit of a bind; my success, while to be expected, has had three, well mostly two, rather unfortunate results.

Firstly, I have more than enough commissions to keep me busy for the next several months, and yet I'd like to take on more, expand my repertoire, and that necessitates hiring more help to assist in production which I don't currently have enough currency to hire.

Secondly, I need more space, even if I don't expand, my current workshop is getting too small for my purposes. Again, my lack of currency is an obstacle.

So despite my inclination to remain sole owner, I'm looking for investors who, for a respectable investment, will be given a percentage of ownership in my works.

If you happen to have any interest, please let me know, I have some ideas for my eventual expansion that I would be more than happy to share with you.

I could be persuaded....

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Have you the funds?

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

What are you prepared to offer?

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

I need to review your work first.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Ask around, I've plenty of customers to give testimony. And you're more than welcome to visit my shop as is.

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Will do, Mr. Cinna.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Please, just Cinna. The Mr. is so formal.

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Formal it stays until my curiosity is satisfied.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Very well.

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

I'm Luke Valentine and please forgive for not introducing myself at the onset of the conversation.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

It's certainly nice to meet you, Mr. Valentine, however the late the introduction comes.

It's good to see that there are others with a good sense in fashion. Pardon my intrusion, but if you wish, I can be persuaded to go half. That is if you decide that his work is befitting?

Re: [voice]

You are...?

(Private)

Very clever to create a way for us to publicly meet, Aion.

[voice]

[jiyuna_togabito]

One quite interested in well designed clothing as yourself. Luke, was it?

(Private)
[He lightly snickers.]
And here I thought you'd rather avoid any public interactions with someone as myself. Deciding to come out from hiding?

Re: [voice]

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Mr. Valentine - I prefer the formal when embarking on new business ventures, Mr...?

(Private)

Scoff at my caution all you like, Aion.

I'm already well aware of this designer's fine work and am eager to invest. However, based on previous experience, I've found it best to withhold money for a bit when these artistic types are hungry. This 'training' during lean times helps keep their attitudes in check.

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Oh, quite the actor.] Very well. It's Aion, Mr. Valentine.

(Private)
By no means. It is better to be safe than sorry after all. [He laughs.]

Sounds about right. It'll help maintain his drive as well. Either way, I'll leave this matter to you. What do you prefer I do then?

Re: [voice]

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

A pleasure to meet you. Maybe we'll talk again.

(Private)

I'll contact you later.

[voice]

[jiyuna_togabito]

Most certainly.

(Private)

I'll look forward to it.
