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.

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!

[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!

[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!]
