[It's this mug again. Kanji's hunched over a desk, and looked a bit pleased as he smoothed back his hair. A corner of his mouth was quirked, especially after a strange sound is picked up in the background, a "Kuuufufufufu~" that may or may not be easy to identify.]

Sup? I, uh, realized it's about time I unveiled this linkshell I put together to take some orders. I'm callin' it 'Tatsumi Textiles', which ain't all that original if ya know where I'm from, but if a name ain't broke, don't fix it!

Aw, screw it- What I'm sayin' is I'm open for commissions! Armor n' clothes, weapons through the Ka'Pandol shop, and I can make dolls n' whatever too.

[He lifted the tablet and tipped it to reveal a moogle absolutely delighted with herself, giggling as she flew around the room and twirled, revealing herself as the one making the sound from a moment ago. She wore a white floral-print dress whose skirt flared whenever she twirled, and a snappy sun hat with a ribbon, pom bobbling over the top. Clutched in a paw was a lovely folding fan of silk and bamboo.]

...Stuff for you moogles out there, too. Chocobos? Ain't done it before, but I wanna give it a shot. Lemme at it!


[With that, there's an invite to the linkshell attached.]

That means traditional, yeah? My parents never liked to budge into machinery and I agree with 'em when it comes to delicate stuff like cloth. So I guess I'm a good 'heir' to my family's business or whatever.

I make everything myself, too! S'my hobby, really, but I figure it can keep groceries in the fridge too.

Wait, really?--

[The voice seems off-guard, almost taken aback; there's a beat of quietly-clamoring environmental noise before she comes back.]

Well, hopefully you haven't forgotten to think about the native population and culture here, 'po. A lot of us could use some decent clothes for a change, 'po.

Voice

[topgun_textiles]

Lotta clothes sold back home didn't fit me worth a shit, so I wound up makin' my whole wardrobe myself.

You're a moogle, right? Ya sound like y'got one of those moogly speech quirks.

Voice

[mech_and_mutt]

I speak how I want to speak, 'po. I'm not very fond of labels.

But you did do a good job with that moogle's dress, 'po. I don't normally support the production of additional, unnecessary consumerist goods, but I make exceptions for independent artists, 'po.

How do you feel about scarves?

Voice

[topgun_textiles]

[...What a weird moogle.]

They're relaxing to make. Ya just get some yarn and your needles, let your hands get to work and your mind kinda drifts off for a while. Easiest way to calm me down after a rough day.

Voice 1/2

[mech_and_mutt]

Killer.

Alright. I'd like to commission a scarf, 'po. Moogle-sized. Use whatever threads you have lying around for it- preferably something reclaimed or repurposed, 'po.

[There's a short, contemplative pause.]

You said you make dolls too, 'po? Did you see the Blitzball game?

--Not that I'd ever be a big fan of a sport that glorifies the act of violence and feeds into the tribal-consumeristic culture that's already tearing apart our humble community by dividing people into 'Dragons' and 'Merrows' and whose whole purpose is to separate the winners from the losers through exclusionary acts of physical aggression and flashy chest-pounding displays for the sake of mainstream publicity. ...'po.

I just have a friend who plays it, 'po.

[topgun_textiles]

[Something told him to stick with earth tones for this one. Does he tell the moogle that yarn is a repurposed material? Made from wool? Oh well.]

Uhh... right, so ya want a doll of this friend of yours in their blitzball gear? What team were they on and who's your friend?

[mech_and_mutt]

Have you ever heard of a player named Red Savarin, 'po? He plays for the dragons, wears a bunch of collars.

He's a dog, 'po. He's hard to miss.

[topgun_textiles]

OH, Red! I know the guy. I've seen the Dragons uniform, too.

I can put this all together. S'gonna be 18 gil. Fair?

[mech_and_mutt]

Great, 'po. I'll come by to pick it up in a few days.

I'm looking forward to meeting The Golsaucian Carbuncle in person, 'po.

[mech_and_mutt]

--Not that I'd ever watch that either. Po.

[topgun_textiles]

'Course.

[The Golsaucian Carbuncle? He kinda liked that...]
