[Maybe you've seen them around town: Posters made of construction paper in varied colors, each with small drawings of cats, dogs, rabbits and reindeer all over the sides. But now whoever had been putting them up all over Saeng Seong had placed one against one of the video terminals and used a screencap function, effectively advertising in every medium this oh so mysterious person can think of. With the drawings and color reads the following:]

Need a special gift for Christmas, New Years, Birthdays or Just Because?
It's all good. The Black Condor Crafter is now taking commissions for:

-Clothing (Hats, scarves, gloves, oven mitts, aprons, etc)
-Dolls (Any person or animal from your world or theirs, any size)
-Accessories and Odds & Ends (Cozies, brooches, charms, necklaces, bracelets)


Cost? Price of materials only. Not here to make money off this.

Sound good? Leave a message on this channel, make it private. We can deliver to you or whoever it's made for.

Red symbol, top left corner. I got it.

What do you need?

Re: Private Text

[beforetights]

Are you the artist making things, sir? If you are, then I'd like something for my friend Diarmuid! He's a boy just like me! And I'll pay by working for you because I only have the money on my credit card.

[topgun_textiles]

Yeah, I am.

...Working for me??

Re: Private Text

[beforetights]

I'll help you make clothes and dolls until I can earn enough to pay back my brother's present. Is that good? I can do more if you want.

[Aw, shit, there are too many problems with this: Blowing his cover AND he didn't feel right making this kid work for something like this. He had to think of something... so after a full minute:]

Okay, how about this: We can do a trade. You make something cool and I can call it even.

Re: Private Text

[beforetights]

Alright. What do you want me to make? I know I can draw you pictures! I don't really know about anything else, but...

[He hesitates in making the offer.]

...You could...have the sword...my brother gave me. It's a good practice sword!

[He hates having to give up the practice sword. Especially since Diarmuid had given it to him. But it's all so he can get Diarmuid some warm clothes so they can play outside again.]

Drawings are good. I'm not taking your sword!

Re: Private Text

[beforetights]

Yay! You're really kind, Sir! How should I send you the drawing? Can I slip it under your door?

Private Text

[topgun_textiles]

We can trade them when whatever it is you want is ready.

Re: Private Text

[beforetights]

Okay. What do you want me to draw, then?

Do you have penguins in your world?

Re: Private Text

[beforetights]

...What are penguins?

Private Text

[topgun_textiles]

[...Shit.]

Nevermind. What about rabbits?

Re: Private Text

[beforetights]

Oh, yes, I know rabbits! I've seen a lot of rabbits before! They're brown and have big ears!

[He holds his fingers up at the side of his head to demonstrate.]

Private Text

[topgun_textiles]

Then I'll take a drawing fitting as many rabbits as you can. A bunny pile!

Maybe they got hats on too, I dunno.

Re: Private Text

[beforetights]

I'll draw as many as I can! I'll fill up the page and all of them can wear hats!

Where do I put the drawing when I'm done?

Private Text

[topgun_textiles]

I'll send a message when I'm done with the order and we trade 'em somewhere then.

Re: Private Text

[beforetights]

Yes, yes!

[In his eagerness, he had forgotten that the person on the other end already told him to hold on to the picture.]

Then can I make my order now?

Private Text

[topgun_textiles]

Yup. Go for it.

Re: Private Text

[beforetights]

Alright...

[He takes a second to consider.]

Can you make a coat for my brother Diarmuid? He's a boy just like me even though he's taller! Hat and scarf and mittens would be good too but that might be too much! He doesn't have any winter clothes and he's too thin to go outside all the time, so I wanna get him something to play in!

Private Text

[topgun_textiles]

Don't worry about something being 'too much'. What color does he like?

Re: Private Text

[beforetights]

Oh, uh...he likes blue and green! His cloak is green!

[He pats his shoulders to indicate the cloak.]

Private Text

[topgun_textiles]

Blue and green, huh? I can work with that.

Alright. You'll get a message when everything's all set.

Re: Private Text

[beforetights]

On the network or under my door? If you wanna go under my door, I live in room 2-05 in building 3!

Private Text

[topgun_textiles]

It's gonna be network as a heads-up.
