07: action

[realmenknitplushies]

[So the weather's not that great. Ah, well. Some things have still got to be done, this time of year...

There's activity around the Tatsumi Gallery today. Two people running in and out, and a gang of Pokémon hard at work, too. The artworks for sale being changed up; the collection of Calderan textiles that were recently on display being reorganized to make room for a collection of ornamental masks and even decorative cordwork hung on display in the windows.

And as Kanji emerges from the gallery, his arms full of decorations for the building's exterior, he looks back and calls out-]

Ma, we've got this! Go on, siddown, you're just gonna put your back out!

[Right, then... where to start with this lot? He looks at the Pokémon who're helping him today, and nods. Not too much to do, right?]

[With a bit of a shrug-]

Yeah. Got all this stuff in for this time'a year, an' there's all the usual stuff on top of that...

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Oh, yes! How is your training coming along? It's been a while since we were in the mountains together.

[realmenknitplushies]

Been doin' pretty well, but heh - I could probably do better.

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Are your Pokemon all right?

[realmenknitplushies]

[That, at least, gets an enthusiastic nod.]

Yeah, they're doin' great. Okay, some wanna make trouble, but when ain't that the case?

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Are you all right, then?

[realmenknitplushies]

Prettty much. I just ... ain't really pushed myself in a while. I'm gonna be gettin' outta shape!

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

You look fine to me.

[realmenknitplushies]

Eh... heh, well...

[Cough.]

But a real man ain't gonna settle for 'fine!'

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Well, I wish you luck in your training, then.

[realmenknitplushies]

Heh. Thanks.

[He grins, positive.]

Uh, how've you been doin', then?

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

...I'm fine. Thank you for asking.

[Slight pause there.]

[realmenknitplushies]

[There are a lot of things Kanji will stomp into, but odd pauses aren't one of them. He nods.]

Alright. That's good t' hear.

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

[Probably wise. Missing daddy issues.]

Oh, so, I've kept you for long enough! I really should buy something, shouldn't I?

[realmenknitplushies]

Well, it's up to you. I mean, I don't mind friends comin' around and lookin'. But... well, ya can see what we've got today...

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Of course, I'd love to see what you have.

[realmenknitplushies]

[He nods.]

This is all the Soulfasting themed stuff, anyway - [waving at the masks and cords.] The normal stuff's over that side'a the gallery, an' the supplies are just through there.

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

What kind of mask do you think would suit me? Soulfasting has always been one of my favorite holidays.

[realmenknitplushies]

Man. I dunno if I'm the person to ask 'bout that... are there any Pokémon 'f that sorta type you like?

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Well, I have a Misdreavus that should be evolving soon... maybe a Mismagius hat?

[realmenknitplushies]

Yeah! That'd be cute as hell.

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Do you have one I can try on?
