[Video] The Worst Reindeer

[topgun_textiles]

[Camera... on! After a quick scrutinizing, the figure pulled back. It's a reindeer! No, it's some dude dressed like a reindeer, complete with the antlers and ears, a spiky black collar and silver bell, and a glowing red nose. But rather than be embarrassed about everything, this awful reindeer gave a fist pump and a grin.

Squint a bit. Oh god, it's Kanji.]


Sup!? I just finished the costumes this morning and I'm cute as hell! Anyway, I wanted to put somethin' up too: I'm takin' commissions for Christmas or Starlight or whatever! I can put together job outfits, mittens n' hats n' scarves or whatever to keep somebody warm, stitch up or knit a doll and anything else that needs a bit of handicraft! If you ain't sure if I can make it, lemme know here or on my linkshell and I can give a yes or no. The link to it's gonna be attached to the message.

[And it sure is. But Kanji glances off screen, nods, and waits a moment. He was waving somebody over, but he didn't seem successful. He looked back to the camera.]

A'right, and for those of ya on the more tech-y side of things, I got my best pal who's pretty badass with screwdrivers n' wrenches n' stuff. If it can be tinkered, if it can be upgraded and modded with cool lasers and shit, they're the one to go to. I'll forward linkshell messages her way!

Here: A, uh... sample. [He reached under the desk and pulled up what appeared to be a small yellow carbuncle doll. But the moment he set it down and gave the brass key in its back a few good turns, the doll came 'alive' and began to hop and explore.]

There. Wind-up pets! With all that aside, if you guys get orders n' shit in before the end of the week, I can get it out to ya by Christmas-Starlight.

But most importantly...! A'right, ready?

[He looked off-camera. Then he nodded, stepped to the side and stooped. There's a squeak of surprise, and when Kanji's back in frame he's got another reindeer on his shoulder, dressed with a gold bell and a snappy necktie of holly. This reindeer is fighting to keep her composure. Did she lose a bet? But the bigger reindeer flexes his free arm, and the smaller one hesitantly follows suit.]

...All orders'll be delivered by reindeer! For the spirit of things, yeah?

[Someone is still there and doesn't have a very amused expression at what just occurred.]

Man... A bunch'a stories that focus on the reindeer would be pretty cool, though. Like we know nothin' about 'em, but everybody likes the song about Rudolph!

Raw deal.

[pishirogane]

Kanji-kun, he's not telling the truth.

[video]

[topgun_textiles]

I know... That's why I'm bummed.

[pishirogane]

[A sigh... and a pat.]

... Do you want a Rudolph doll?

[video]

[topgun_textiles]

Heh... That'd be egotistical, don'tcha think? 'Cause I'm Rudolph right now.

[video]

[pishirogane]

I don't think so. Besides, you're only Rudolph right now... You'll still have it after the holiday passes.

In a sense, I'm at least sort of telling the truth.

There's a billion potential worlds out there. You can't tell me that there isn't one where that isn't the case.

It just isn't on mine. Well, it kind of is, but it was a commercial for a mall.

Also yes, I sent you eighty gil I kind of want a little white clockwork dragon for my friend too.

[topgun_textiles]

Right... wind-up white dragon. We'll get to work on that one as well as the hat.

[He turned to Naoto.]

You got a point. Sure, I'll take a Rudolph!

[Though she nodded to Kanji, she shot another look at the video - still not happy with getting Kanji's hopes up like that. Off-screen she goes momentarily narrowed eyes all the while.]
