[ Kanji doesn't sound too happy when he starts speaking on the SFC. ]

You pieces of shit try somethin' like that "April Fools" joke again, I'm gonna kick your assess all the way to the moon an' beyond. Make you see the stars till you drop dead. Got that? Murder ain't funny. Death ain't funny. [ He mumbles other things; some of them curses, some of them inaudible all together, and then he clears his throat and adds something else. On a lighter note. ]

Yeah, so...lemme just get this outta the way before somethin' else happens in this place. Sewin' classes - I know, I know, it's been forever, but uhh, hear me out okay? - are gonna have two new teachers. Kanaya-san and Italy-san are gonna be helpin' out, especially if I, I dunno, fall asleep for another two months again. If you want in, just tell me right now. It's free, and uh...y-you'll learn a lot of c-cool shit. Promise.

[ He clears his throat again. The SFC switches from audio to video. What you see next is a cute plush toy that you wouldn't have expected to be made out of an oven mitt. It's detailed, and sewed with skill. What was it exactly? A bunny! Carrying a basket of colorful eggs! And was wearing something similar to what Alice in Wonderland wore in the story books! Kanji holds it by the side and oh, this plush toy was actually a puppet! SO MANRY, GUH CANNOT HANDRE IT-- ]

See? It's damn cute, am I right? [ He plays around with it, showing everyone his creation, and go ahead and laugh at a six-foot tall, burly teenager playing with a plushie puppet but whatever he doesn't care, nope. But after five minutes of this, he finally blushes, clams up, and shuts the video feed off, turning it back to audio. ]

Sewin' classes. Me, and Kanaya-san and Italy-san...y-yeah. You got all that, right? Right. [ Awkward. Andddd time to shut it off completely.~ ]

[Oh, thanks for the tl;dr version at the end there, Kanji. c: ALTHOUGH Yukari kinda already knew how she'd respond.]

I'm totally still in! ..."Senpai."

[She isn't surprised to hear Italy's name on there, either. Snerk. But yep, she hasn't forgotten!]

[ LE BLUSH IS ON. ]

D-Don't call me that, dammit! I ain't no senpai! At least, not to you!

...Oh, lighten up. Jeez...I was just teasing, okay?

[Yukari smirks, resisting the urge to roll her eyes.]

Anyway, I'm glad you finally got some help. That bunny is pretty cute.

Shut up. [ He looks away for a bit, still blushing. SO WEIRD TO CALl HIM SENPAI, I MEAN WOW WHAT EVEN. ]

I sent out like this ad for it way back then. I got those two pretty quickly, and that Kanaya-san sure sounds like she knows her shit. So yeah, I got 'em. [ He smirks in pride, raising the bunny up again. ]

Hehe, 'course it is! I used to sell bunny puppets back home too!

[Less of a smirk now and more of a grin. She hasn't met Kanaya yet but she nods to agree, since she doubts someone like Kanji would settle for anything less. She knows she wouldn't, anyway.]

...Really? [So he made them for a profit, huh...how cool! And so she laughs a bit--] Don't suppose I could get a free sample.

[...yeah, she wants one.]

[ Well that's...certainly charming of you, Kanji. The detail is very exquisite, and he's kinda peering in to gather it all up before it goes away. Either way, he hadn't been expecting that. Especially from someone that began the broadcast cussing about the days prior.

But ignoring the sewing part, because it was just too easy to tease at that -- ]

If murder isn't "funny", why would you ever wish it upon someone else for thinking such? Hmmm, besides. I don't recall seeing stars ever harmed anyone.

[ Kanji's caught off-guard. He starts stammering. ]

N-No, I mean. I wouldn't murder them, I'd teach 'em a lesson. Y'know, put the message across! Knock 'em out! N-Not, kill...Uhh, wait what?

Ah. I must have misheard then. [ Except not really but, pff ]

Is something wrong...?

[ Your stammering is actually quite amusing. So he'll just hum innocently, coyly cocking his head to the side. ]

[There's a bit of a soft laugh - more in amusement than derision - at the rabbit puppet.]

[What, he never had many toys as a kid.]

[Hey, maybe that was the rabbit that the Running Man told him about? One thing, though, isn't exactly clear...] Do rabbits normally carry baskets of eggs?

[ Kanji's conscious about laughter whenever he brings up the topic of his favorite hobby, but hey. He doesn't sound like a malicious kind of guy...maybe he was enjoying it instead? He rubs the back of his neck as he replies. ]

What? Oh, no no. This is for decoration. 'Cuz that holiday's comin' up, right? T-The one with the chocolate eggs.

[He was indeed enjoying it!]

Oh... I've never heard of that one. I guess there's lots of different holidays here... chocolate's really nice, huh?

[Guess who only had it for the first time a few days ago?]

Rhymes with yeast, or something. I dunno, but it's a pretty popular thing with some of the kids back home.

[ Kanji shrugs. Hang out with him more often, you'll get a whole ton of food you've never tasted before down your throat~ ]

Damn straight. 'Could eat a whole bucket of 'em, if I had a bucket of chocolate. Heh, don't tell me you've only had some now. You're missin' out on half of your life! [ He grumbles about missing out on life if you haven't tasted katsudon, or Aiya's Beef bowls, or ramen...but ignore him! Chocolate! ]

[New food? Sounds like a plan.]

Well, we never had any in the forest! And there might have been some in the markets, but I could only afford things like bread and cheese and milk. Now that everything's free, I wanna try everything. [Hi, Link likes food.]

[ THE BEST PLAN EVER. ]

[ ...... ]

Huh? Forest? You...lived in the trees...?

Well - not in the trees - [Link, what was your house made of?] There was a little village in a clearing. That's where I lived until a little while ago.

Although I recognize the motives behind making such threats over the murder, I don't believe that promising retribution is the appropriate way to approach it. A system of justice would be more effective.

[ Whoa. Way to sound formal. ]

Well, okay. What kind of system of justice you wanna use? There ain't no police force here, or or a detective agency or nothing! The hell are we gonna do about it?

[ That's how Ky interacts with people. ]

Create them.

[ Reminds him of a certain pint-sized detective-- ]

You wanna make a police force in Vatheon? For real? The big shots up in the magic coral place allowed ya?

I think a police force is a necessary component, but the more vital here is a judicial system.

And they haven't objected so far.

[Why would you threaten to hurt someone if murder isn't fun--oooh, bunny handpuppet!]

Wow, did you really make that?

[ sdkghlkdfhglkdfg you guys, stop taking it so seriously, he meant--YES BUNNY HANDPUPPET. ]

U-Uhh, yeah. I did.

[ Kanji coughs subtly and starts moving it around expertly, as if putting on a small puppet show. ]

That's so cool! [He giggles a little at it as he lifts up a hand where Kanji can now see that he's wearing handpuppets of his own as well as it waves a hand back at the bunny.]

Damn, that's pretty good. You make clothes too? I've been looking for someone to help design and make costumes for my band.

[ He's not 100% used to the compliments, but he's getting there! His blush only lasts for a few seconds this time around. He actually grins in his pride, because damn right his puppets were awesome. ]

Clothes for a band, huh? I can handle that, no prob! Prolly just need bigger pieces of textile! [ He laughs and motions to the bunny puppet. Good thing his Ma taught him a thing or two about sewing on actual clothes for people. ]

Haha, yeah definitely bigger, though Selphie would probably get a kick outta that bunny.

[Hey, Kanji! Have a curious kid staring at that video feed.]

That is kinda cute...what is it?

[Not too interested in sewing either but that puppet! It's...cute. He needs to know what it is!]

[ OH GOODY, CHILDRENS. COME TO BIG BURLY AWKWARD TEENAGER--wait what. First, he meets a girl who doesn't know what a bull is, and now this? ]

What, seriously? It's a bunny! Hoppin' and jumpin' around, like in the pet stores and stuff! See? [ He puts the puppet's face closer to the SFC, as if that would help him recognize it. ]

[Burly and awkward are the best way to make children friends!

Well there aren't a lot of rabbits where he's from.]

Bunny? I've never heard of that. Do they all have such funny looking ears.

[Aww, Kanji really is manly.]

Hey, that's pretty cute.

[ He is the epitome of manly. ]

Hey, uh. Thanks.

[ Awkward neck rub. ]

I-I made it. Oh, shit wait. I already said that before...

[Real men sew and kick ass.]

I'm interested in learning more about making things like that. And if you need help in the other area, I can do that too.

[Because yeah, you don't kill people for pranks.]

Hehehe--it's very cute. It's nice to see you awake again, teacher. I was just talking to my friend Yukari about making dolls.

Maka-chan, hey! Hehe, yeah, good to be awake. As much as I like sleep, I don't think I could stand sleepin' for two months again, thanks very much.

[ He smiles. ]

Oh, cool. You're friends with Yukari-senpai too?

I'll help you with that if they pull something like that again. Did you see them? They were laughing!

Tch. Yeah, yeah they were laughin'. Pissed me off! Who the fuck told them that April Fools was somethin' like this, anyway?

Someone with a messed up head, that's who! I'd like to give whoever gave them that idea apiece of my mind. That's people's lives we're talking about!

[Not to mention all of that felt too close to home for comfort.]

Murder can be fun if you make it fun.

Sewin'? You don't look the type for cutesy things. Buuuut maybe if cute things are your type... [Oh no Bad Girl just winked at you Kanji, run away while you can.]

[ Blink. Blink. He blushes, but okay wait up. That first thing she said? Oh, hey not cool. Kanji frowns deeply. ]

It ain't fun, lady. Period. [ He crosses his arms. ] And yeah, I don't look like a guy who sews bunnies on boring afternoons -- ain't nothing I haven't heard before, and what I look like's got nothin' to do with what I do either.

[Sorry this is late, lost internet so been on hiatus. Doing some tags now that I got a bit of a chance. BI]

Sure it's fun! But I mean after you do it so much...it sorta loses it's excitement level. Sorta like the longer you let a drink sit out, you can't drink it anymore 'cause it gets all flat and warm.
Oh, speakin of-- [BG picked up a can that had been on the table and stared into it for a bit, before she put it back down.] --Okay no it's fine.

But I get what you mean, people don't expect me to be how I am due to my appearance either!

I'll help you with the kicking, that's the worst kind of prank to ever play! And whoever that anon texter was pretending they were the murderer, ooh they should be glad I don't know who they are!!

[She calmed down a bit as he continued, though. Oh that rabbit was really cute! Plus his intricate sewing skills were definitely impressive.]

Oh hey, that's really good! Haha, the dress reminds me of Teddie, too.

The fuck!? There was an anon texter prankin' about the murder? [ He growls. ] People here are just as sick as the creeps back home, huh Chie-senpai? Dammit, if only we could have stopped that prank...

[ He grows silent, brewing in his raeg, until of course she talks about the puppet. That's always a nice mood killer when it comes to the darker things they talk about sometimes :'D ]

T-Thanks! Guess you could say the guy's costume back in the "Miss" Yasoinaba pageant was an inspiration.

I coulda punched those damn nurses of they weren't chicks.

[ Kuwabara wasn't too happy with that April Fool's Joke at all. So he totally understands how Kanji feels. ]

Ya did that?

[ Well consider him surprised in a good way. ]

How cute!

[ The Fon Master Guardian would assume Tear would like if she was around to see it but Anise also found it cute being the oh so delicate little girl she was. ]

Did you make that yourself?

[ For a big guy she couldn't imagine him making something like this but Vatheon was a place that the unpredictable happens. ]

[Hey Kanji hey. As if you needed any more cute, Ammy's introducing her son to all of her friends! So there's a scratching at your door, and when you come to see, you will find Ammy with a certain puppy crawling all over her head.]

[Chibi fears the day he will be too big to sit on your head, mom.

--Oh! He remembers this guy! This was one of the people that thought Chibi was just a shrunken Ammy, and something about a curse?]
