Mognet

[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?

[Hey, it's some guy standing in his bedroom wearing street clothes. But in the next moment, with a rush of power, he's adorned in a set of armor. It's a mingling of steel plating, chain, and coarse fur draped over the shoulders, topping a cloak down the back. The giant hammer was lifted, swung like it weighed nothing, and settled against the fur-covered pauldron. The grin he gave the camera was pretty toothy.]

Yo! Name's Kanji. I said I'd go all out and be myself, so here I am.

I make stuff! Y'know, dolls, knit blankets, a whole bunch of cute shit. And there ain't a damn thing wrong with that, y'hear me? But I'm officially offering my services in makin' stuff like that for... y'know, birthdays or whatever.

But this right here's my gear for my Berserker Asterisk, and I can put somethin' together for you guys, too. I'm takin' commissions for job outfits, either to make 'em myself or work up design sketches to have made later once your mind's all made up.

...Uhhh... [He paused, and his expression faltered as he tried to think of something. Then a gloved hand went to mess with his hair as he gave a small, unsure growl in his throat. He had to be forgetting something, and it wasn't coming to mind.]

Yeah, I think that's it? Never advertised before. But I gave it a good shot.

[He nodded to someone off-camera, and the feed cuts.]
