Text | UN: Anonymous | "Armour" Commission

[mayoninofukucho]

[Not being able to go out into the daylight without suffering a nasty chemical burn death is driving Hijikata up the walls, but since Maribelle's call-out post last month thoroughly tarnished his reputation (though he eventually wrote her an apology letter that seems to have been well-received) he's opting to stay anonymous for this commission request.]

I'm looking for an armour-maker, or probably an alchemist, who can make me something like a motorcycle helmet (probably a suit and other accessories too) that'll reliably protect me from the sun. Some different kind of gear would be fine too, but it has to provide full coverage.

Oh. That's even more sad. 👿😟 If you're that sensitive, have you had any trouble with light magic here?

I promise I'm not a vampire hunter!!! That sounds atrocious! And rude! I have undead friends! They're not here right now, but I promise I'm very nice to them. 💖💀

The measurements are nice and all, but they're different from the ones I'm used to. I can convert them if I really have to, but it's going to make it hard to fit right if I can't take my own.

[mayoninofukucho]

Yes, actually. Some light magic can be just as dangerous as sunlight.

[Something he found out the hard way while fighting alongside Mukuro during the siege... a healer fixed him up, so the incident left no scars, but it wasn't a pleasant experience.]

I believe that you're not a vampire hunter, but someone who sees this post might come to surprise us if we meet up. I'd prefer to avoid such risks.

["I have undead friends", "I promise I'm very nice to them"... she bottled his ghosts!! He can only deadpan and let out a pained exhale as he stays polite in his writing.]

If you can't use my measurements please don't worry; you can just make a helmet or suchlike for me. That's really the most important piece. I can take care of the rest on my own.

[sulit]

Oh, I see. I guess that makes sense. 👿😟

I can use the measurements! I'll just convert them. How should I contact you, if I need more measurements? Or when I'm done making it? How do I get it to you? If there's any problems with it, you can always contact me. Obviously!

If I'm using light magic in the enchantment, I don't know if that will bother you or not... But I don't think so? It should be fine? I will be expecting feedback when I'm done!

[mayoninofukucho]

If you need any more details just post here again. I'll see that. As for the delivery, I'll send you my post box information from a throwaway account once you're done.

[Good thing he still has that post box rented from the fateful 'Roast Pork' quest!]

Of course I'll give you feedback, but I'd prefer if it you didn't use light magic. It'll probably do more harm than good.

[He's really wary of it right now and doesn't want to end up burned all over when he puts the outfit on. Just getting burns on his face and hands was bad enough!]

[sulit]

I can't not use light magic in the enchantment. How else am I supposed to direct the light away? Light magic doesn't just create light, it also redirects it. It shouldn't be inherently dangerous to you. I can give you a sample if you want to test it?

[mayoninofukucho]

I see. OK, I'll trust you with that then. Sorry, I don't know much about light magic (other than that it hurts).

[Surely he can test it... just stick in a finger at first... actually--]

A sample really might be helpful. Maybe gloves or something small like that?

[sulit]

It's okay! I'm the expert, so you don't have to know about light magic. But it might be useful to learn about it, if it's something that can hurt you?

I can definitely make a pair of gloves, though! I'll bill you for materials after I've made them. Do you care about color at all? I know people say that vampires like black clothes, but I think you can like any color you want!

[mayoninofukucho]

[She's so cheer- and thoughtful... she's really kind to undead beings, huh? Why can't she treat him like that too (when she knows it's him)?!]

I guess so, but I'd prefer to just stay away from light magic, also because I don't have any way of countering it on my own. So far that has worked out for me. And I know it's a cliché, but I'd like black the best!

[He's never branched out of his drab colour scheme, and he doesn't feel compelled to start now. The last thing he needs it to stand out in a bright red or orange outfit! (She could convince him into dark blue or green, though, if she really wanted to.)]

[sulit]

If you insist! 👿😩 But maybe a little colored accent? Just around the cuffs? Red is also cliché... Maybe green? 💚 Or blue? 💙 Or purple? 💜 Gold is always an option, too! 💛 If you're going to be wearing it a lot, then you should wear something that makes you look good. Just saying!

[mayoninofukucho]

[Those emotes... cute... it's always wild to see someone you don't get along with be super amiable in a separate context!]

OK, if you really want to do that, then maybe gold?

[Like his uniform! Luckily this is such a general topic, this surely won't give him away. Still, he can't be careful enough with Klaudia!]
