[The camera opens to Crystal Beach. With the weather as it's been lately, nobody should be surprised that someone decided to spend a little time there. With the sun starting to set, the sky has burst into mingled red and gold, the color spread over the sea as well in gentle lapping waves. A small jostle, and the camera is all set on a beach chair that was the resting place of a few cute little dolls. Some were shaped like local animals, but among the others were a smattering of dragons, perhaps an inspiration from their recent dealings with Lyestellus.

Kanji stepped back and into the frame, dressed for the outing: A basic black speedo and a pair of snappy designer sunglasses. He didn't seem bothered by his choice of attire- it was too damn hot to give a shit anyway- as he lowered to his knees and settled next to his makeshift display.]

A'right... uh, yo! Ain't done one of these videos in a while. Few months, I think? Anyway, I'll just get right into it with the question I sometimes get:

Did I make these? Damn right I did! They're cute as hell too, yeah? And if somebody's got a problem with a guy like me makin' stuff like this, they can kiss my ass or get outta my way! This is what I do, and I'm damn proud of it!

[He sat up straighter with a grin.]

...For the rest of ya who don't give a crap and want a piece of what I can make, I'm open for orders. I make dolls, charms n' clothes. Hell, they can be clothes that accommodate ears n' tails or whatever when the moon changes. I can do alterations, too.

I'm gettin' better at workin' needles while transformed, too, so the Sanguis moon ain't slowin' me down much. Gimme a little more time, and that'll be nailed no sweat!

[He supposed that was it. Off-camera, there's a distinct panting. Kanji looked off-frame, too. Despite the hardened look right up until then, his expression softened immediately.]

Hey, pal... tired of diggin', huh?

[A large black and white dog pads in, some kind of jowly breed but it's sporting a strange pair of horns and very dirty paws from a digging adventure. His tail is wagging like crazy as he flopped beside the human, and is happy to get those tummy pets.]

Anyway... drop a line here or in the inbox.

Your work is always amazing, Kanji.

[He's definitely bought a couple more dolls since his big tiger plush commission, including a custom rabbit with a coat. No one but Kanji does them so well!]

I met someone recently who really likes dolls - I'll have to recommend you to her once she gets a bit more spending Chroma.

[K- Kanji... ! Look, she's seen men in fundoshi every summer, but. She hadn't expected it from Kanji for some reason??? Which would be fine, expect it makes her remember certain pixie bubbles, so-

She's not staring, she's actually got her hand over her eyes. And maybe not realizing she's doing a video reply and not just voice.]

I- I'll vouch for Kanji's work! He's really skilled, even with clothes that aren't for humans! He made all my husbands trousers, and he made them more convenient than they do in our world, even!

[topgun_textiles]

Sup, Konoha?

...Wh-what's wrong? Is the light too bright?

[Maybe the camera was too powerful? He wasn't sure. But she definitely was guarding her eyes from something!]

How fast can you sew nurse's outfit?

[He doesn't appear to be bothered by the sight of Kanji in a speedo- he's seen him in it before (and without it too... AND with seaweed as well). It's also hard to tell from his voice whether he's joking or no- for all intents and purposes, he's completely serious.]

[It took him a second to connect the dots. It's Yosuke's protest that pushes this from 'are you serious' to:]

...Gimme a few hours. Grab a comfy pair of white shoes.

[Oh. Oh my god. He had the worst idea.]

...Toss me a pair of white underwear, too. Somethin' you won't miss if I put a design on 'em.

[Okay, the guy looks a little scary, but then he doesn't seem so scary any more. Also Ruca is impressed.]

I think they're amazing! Sadly, I wouldn't have anyone to give one to... [His friend list is so short.]

...There's so many talented people here... I wish I could do something, too.

[His main ability is reading books.]

voice

[topgun_textiles]

So get somethin' for yourself! I mean, don't lemme push ya to do it or nothin'.

Anyway, what're you talkin' about? I'm sure there's plenty you could do.

[soundsperfect]

It's nice of you to offer your services. The dolls are very adorable.

Actually, I want to surprise my girlfriend with a dress. I have an image of her and her sizes down, but I'm still kind of a torn on what kind of a design would be best.

[topgun_textiles]

[Ahh, so a design conundrum. Alright, let's rock.]

Thanks!

Uhh, well, dresses can basically go any way. We can go formal, casual n' flowy... hell, what kinda colors does she like? We can start with basics and I can draw some stuff up for ya!

I think the dolls look great, you do the right thing not listening to people's shitty opinions. Since you take request, do you know how a raccoon looks like?

[ A lot of people he's meet in the past had no idea, so that's why Peter is asking. He gets a bit distracted by the end of the video because PUPPY. ]

Interesting friend you've got there. The dogs I've know don't have horns, what creature is that one? He's very cute.

Video

[topgun_textiles]

A raccoon? Sure I do. Cute little suckers, but man do they punish ya for not leavin' the trash bin lids tight.

[But he brightened.]

I dunno! Dogs don't have horns back home for me neither, but that's how ol' Ranger came out as a little puppy! I put chroma into the weird crystal ball I got from the Ware Wolf and he's able to come out and stick around. I dunno if it's the chroma, but he kinda grew like a normal dog did.

Why would someone have a problem with you making crafts?

[topgun_textiles]

Right!? So apparently, my hobby's supposed to be for girls. No boys allowed!

Well I say 'screw that'!

"A guy like you"?

I fail to follow.

audio

[topgun_textiles]

I don't exactly fit what people assume when they think of somebody who can make stuff. That got to me for a long time. Too long, if I'm honest.

I kinda treat it like a badge of honor now! A guy like me does stuff that nobody expects... I like bein' "strange!"

[Bold choice of swimwear, but hmm, little stuffed animals and a dog... a young man of taste.]

You sew? Professionally? [or close enough-] How admirable!

Have you ever made toys for pets?

video

[topgun_textiles]

I-it's a hobby, but I wanna help people out with it, y'know?

[He smiled nevertheless. Admirable...?]

Yeah, I've made pet toys. Pet clothes, too. This guy likes when I put a tie on him! He gets real fluffed up like he's gonna crush it at the next meeting.

un: no

[terribletwos]

why would anyone have a problem with you making stuff/

how much are the dolls/

and what do you mean you're better at working when transformed/ claws don't get in the way/

[topgun_textiles]

People are weird about who should be able to do whatever.

Dolls depend on materials used. I have plenty of chroma, but I can take demichroma tips if you feel like doing it.

I wouldn't say I'm better? I'm getting better at it, though. Giant claws make it tough but I've been practicing!

Are you familiar with compression fabrics?

I don't need anything specific now, but if I need a dress I would definitely need it taken in and adjusted (or made custom). I'm pretty muscular and have a shape that isn't really catered to in conventional clothing.

[topgun_textiles]

Sure I am.

Yeah, I get what you're saying. I make all of my own clothes! I quit bothering with shopping and I'm glad I'm through with school uniforms.

It's good to not let anyone's judgment slow you down.

[ Admirable, even if he doesn't need to make such a big deal out of it. It's obviously for himself, after all. ]

Just about anything I can imagine is on the table, then?

[topgun_textiles]

You got it. Lay it on me.

[ As someone who's relatively new (read: very new) to this world, Clarisse's day can't get any much better. LOOK AT ALL THOSE STUFFS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. ]

THOSE ARE REALLY ADORBS I WANT ONE WAIT SCRATCH THAT I WANT TWENTY OF THOSE DOLLS HOW MUCH ARE THEY???

[ Sorry Kanji, Clarisse's girly switch is on full-pushed mode. She won't even bother reading Kanji's further text about his problem with the society. SHE JUST WANTS A PIECE OF IT OKAY. ]

[topgun_textiles]

[Whoa. Whoa.]

I just charge for materials in demichroma or chroma. Tipping's optional.

Twenty dolls is a lot, but if you ask me, there's no such thing as too many!

[Well the speedo sure is new...

But then again Rin also looks a bit different, so it's the season for changes maybe? White hair makes him look more like he's ready for winter though.]

Hey man! You made one for me like, around Christmas I think? I gave it to my gi-- fiancee I still gotta get used to that, but yeah she loved it! I was actually wonderin' if you could maybe do somethin' custom for me?

[topgun_textiles]

Fiancee?! Holy crap, man, congrats!

[Holy shit, people gettin' hitched all over the place! He was today years old when he learned moonblessed could get married.]

'Course I can do somethin' custom for ya. Whatcha got for me?
