Video un: sneaky_fox

[damn_kitsune]

[The video is taken from Mitsuhide's perspective since he's the one making it after all. The subject of the video? Why the Demon King himself! Oda Nobunaga of course!]

[The video shows the inside of the bar that Mitsuhide works at. More specifically, it's the view from behind the counter. And Nobunaga is shown wearing the button down shirt that the other bartenders were wearing. He also opted to wear a tie, which Mitsuhide normally forgoes. That said tie, though, was currently in one of the glasses of beer that Nobunaga was arranging on a tray.]

[Mitsuhide could be heard snickering from behind the camera.]

You really need to mind where your tie goes, my lord.

[And that's when Nobunaga notices his now wet tie. He glared towards Mitsuhide, took off the tie and went back to arranging the drinks so that the tray would be more balanced.]

[Once he was satisfied with the arrangement, Nobunaga than moved to the patron side of the counter. Of course Mitsuhide followed him because he had to make sure that he got all of this one video.]

[Nobunaga then did a handstand, which he then managed to slide the tray and balance it on one foot. After he moved a short distance to a nearby table, he managed to transfer the tray to the other foot, lower it and carefully slide it onto the table, much the delight of the patrons at the table.]

[Everyone nearby clapped once Nobunaga was standing back on his feet. Mitsuhide could be heard chuckling some.]

Very good, my lord! Now... Catch!

[Just before the video cuts off, Mitsuhide's hand comes into view as he tossed an empty bottle to the Demon King, who had a bit of a surprised look on his face.]

[Yep, definitely feeling like he's a horse for sale now! He wonders if this was something that was going to happen often.]

I've worn a suit before, thanks to Nobunaga not doing any research but insisting on picking out clothes for a quest we were doing.

[He shook his head some. This is why the Demon King should never ever do any spy missions.]

I did wear it a second time though to go to the opera.

[happyberry]

Ah! Miwako met Nobunaga-sama the day he was picking out a suit for the opera! How uncanny~ What'd you think of yourself in it? I'm sure it felt very different than the clothes you're used to wearing... Did you feel handsome~?

[damn_kitsune]

It was certainly different. Definitely something I would have to get used to if I were required to wear one more often.

[Nobunaga was always the one who was more eager to try out new things. Mitsuhide preferred to take certain changes a little more slow.]

Based on the looks I got, it's safe to say that I did look quite appealing in it, though.

[happyberry]

Heh, so you noticed you turned heads~? Good, good, good.

[ Oh, she's so excited to see this guy in a Western-style suit now. That'll be like her first order of business, experimenting with him. ]

Do you have questions for me — regarding the modeling, or the business or my background, or, um— even just myself, I guess...? Is there anything you're curious about in general?

[damn_kitsune]

[He did have a few questions. He knew artists hire models all the time, but he was fairly sure that was different from a "fashion model." There was always the option of looking up everything on the smartphone device, but why do that when he could get answers straight from the source?]

I have several questions actually. I know that I will be required to wear the the clothing you design but what else will I need to do? I assume it's no1 just putting on your designs and walking around town.

Also, what kind of style will your clothing reflect? There appears to be a wide variety of styles present in the city. Do your designs look similar to any current style here or are you planning on making something completely new?

[happyberry]

Ah— Heh, these are both big questions.

[ She smirks warmly, holding eye contact easily, though. ]

I plan to design mostly western-style street fashion — casual, ready-to-wear garments, with a wide variety of influences, whatever catches my fancy at the time... I'm quite interested in all the different styles that blend here from so many different worlds, so as I study clothing I see around town, I'm sure my designs will develop their own appeal. Right now, my sister's brand, Happy Berry, is my main inspiration, as I don't plan to design as much women's formal wear as I made when I was working with my last brand, Paradise Kiss. I want to make clothes that reach more people, that I can see people wearing out and about in town — something that speaks to all kinds of people from all kinds of backgrounds.

[ She pauses, lacing her fingers together like a bridge and resting her elbows on the table casually, leaning in to rest her chin across her hands, tilting her head slightly with a smile still. ]

As for what I expect of you— if you wear my clothing around town, I'd love that, but in fact don't expect it! You know what photography is by now, na? We'll be doing mainly photoshoots — like portraits, sort of. But more dynamic and active. I'll have you strike various poses from many angles in all sorts of different scenes I'll come up with to match the mood of the outfit I'm having you wear to advertise it online. That's the main idea. Once we're up and running, I may have you do a runway show someday, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there...

[ She tilts her head the other way, grinning more brightly, feeling engaged and professional as she wraps up her lengthy explanation on a chirpy, encouraging note. ]

What else~?
