[The video opens up to a room with fake candles around. Jyushi would usually go for actual candles but he is sharing the space with someone else so he isn't going to be too dangerous.

Also, he has a tiger's eye around his neck as a necklace. He has no idea what people are using it for and he just think it's a pretty gem :(]

Ah, the cold winds are upon us! Cruel ice, tearing at our skin! We often think of many parts of ourselves, but our lips...? One of the most important parts of our bodies?!

[Usually he'd do the whole video with his visual kei persona but this is important so he's quick to go to his usual voice:]

First of all, it's important to use a lip exfoliant! [The camera is zoomed in on his lips. Why? Well, it's about lip care after all. So it's zoomed in on his lips and then he holds up an ointment lip balm.] Make sure to use a lip balm that has ointment! Essential oils or something can work but so can glycerin! You want to stay away from harsh things for your lips. They've got a lot to do!

[That sure is a way to word that.]

You'll want to be careful about licking your lips. Don't do that! It can be really bad for them, especially in the winter. I just wanted to help everybody out so their lips can stay strong for the tough time ahead of us!

I've gotta hand it to you. This is at least more subtle than person who just asked flat out for partners for the quest.

Not that I don't respect that.

[This whole post is definitely a proposition, right?!]

[plenilunium]

[It was not. He's completely unaware of the orgy and what the tiger eye gem is for.]

Was I being too subtle? I thought my message was loud and clear...😥😥

[impostorsyndrome]

Trust me, it is. I actually am admiring how much you managed to suggest without actually suggesting any of it in those words.

[Guess who found out what the tiger's eye was for...]

Hi! In case you were perturbed by my post and my jewelry then please know that I was not putting forth an invitation for certain activities in the woods!! That was not my intention!!

Thank you!!

[impostorsyndrome]

[Oh no. Seriously? This poor guy . . . Kadoc doesn't laugh out loud, but he does smile into his hand, taking a moment to deal with the equal parts humor and secondhand embarrassment.]

Perturbed isn't the word. I can't believe you actually managed to be that suggestive totally by accident.

[plenilunium]

Do you think I might always be suggestive by accident?! Have I been giving people the wrong idea this whole time?!

I just know how bad chapped lips can be in the winter 😭

pls stop saying the word 'lip'

Re: text; un: maou

[plenilunium]

What is wrong with using that word? It's what this video is about!

[owarifool]

idk what it is about ur vibe but when you say it that much it comes off weird.

[plenilunium]

[There is no way for them to know but this just unnerves Jyushi so much. It sends him into his own self-defense mode which is just going into his persona he had started with in the video.

Which doesn't really work well with text but maybe it's better because he had definitely had a Moment of just staring at the message, trying to take a breath before replying:]

Oh, weird, you say? I do not see the strangeness in speaking of the body part in such a vernacular!

[owarifool]

ur one of those types who doesn't have a lot of self-awareness, huh?

[plenilunium]

Every move I make is guided by the keen light of perception!

[He's really freaking naive actually.]

You say my "vibe" is weird but perhaps you misunderstand the message that is being brought forth!

[owarifool]

[plenilunium]

You didn't have to do that.

But thank you.

[bakudan_bambino]

Any advice for smokers?

[plenilunium]

It depends! A good lip moisturizer can be used for wrinkles but if you're worried about the skin darkening then you would need different products! But a good moisturizer doesn't hurt anybody! 😊✌️

Oh whoops! Text; un:smoking_bomb

[bakudan_bambino]

I’m not worried about them darkening or wrinkles. They’ve been chapped since before the weather turned cold and drier.

[plenilunium]

I think that a lip balm with moisturizing elements would work just fine! You can even get some in fun flavors if that's your thing!

[bakudan_bambino]

What about a lip scrub?

[ Please, there is absolutely no need to ask why the view is zooming in on a handsome guy's lips.

Minako will take that any day. No questions asked. Thanks for the fanservice, Jyushi, you're truly a hero among men just for this. ]

You're giving out beauty tips now too?

[ Hey, at least he's actually getting to see her this time, since she's turned on her camera! Though that also means he can see the way over the top fangirl look on her face. Her eyes are almost sparkling. ]

How come you get more amazing by the day?!

[plenilunium]

[Jyushi had not been doing this visual kei act for this but seeing Minako, he's happy to just go ahead and go back to that persona. Not because he's nervous (which is usually the reason) but he thinks she just really enjoys it! He's found most of the girls that come to see him perform usually do so this isn't a problem. He's happy to do so!

So in a dramatic pose, he begins:]

Ah, why if it isn't my goddess of kindness! The moonlight once again shines a light on us. A fated encounter! I thank you for your generosity. I only hope to aid those who might need it. One could say it is my...[He smirks, humming to himself.] destiny? My noble course!

[reloves]

[ Look at that. It's like a pretty boy act dispenser. Minako just has to speak up, and he's already acting in the absolutely most perfect way. Jyushi truly is a gift sent down straight from the heavens. Like pulling an SSR boy in a gacha game, and being able to stare at his pretty face and hear his dumb sappy lines all day long. ]

In that case, if it's your destiny.. [ Her voice trails off, humming like she's thinking.

Minako probably shouldn't push her luck here.

But words like 'probably' or 'shouldn't' have absolutely never stopped her before. ]

How about you help out a pretty girl then? Would you come shopping with me if I needed some help finding the perfect lip balm for my lips? [ Minako? Just looking for an excuse to spend some time around a handsome guy? What a Cruel and Unusual accusation... ]

[plenilunium]

[Jyushi is none the wiser to her ulterior motive. Really, he's just happy she seems to like him! He's glad he makes her happy, he thinks. If this persona of his brings her joy then so be it.

And if helping her shop would be something she wants then that's great! He's happy to do it!]

Nothing would bring me more joy! Smooth skin can be just another part of the shield we wear to help us through the grind of the day to day! As a warrior of moonlight and romance, I would be ignoring my duty if I did not help!

[reloves]

.. wow.

[ Some of that surprise is dramatic. Acted.

But a part of it? Is also very genuine. In fact, it's the latter that wins out when it comes to Minako's total lack of a brain-to-mouth filter, considering the first thing she says in the middle of her surprise is just: ]

I can't believe you agreed so quickly..

[ In a good way though!! She is amazed! Usually she has to harass people way more before they go along with her ideas! ]
