[The Making Of.] Semi-open. closedmarket March 27 2011, 03:22:10 UTC

"Do we have any more super glue, aru?"

The room was a glorified mess, with fuzzy trim, felt patches, thread, a dozen different rolls of cloth and a multitude of other little items laying around-- and only one sewing machine to speak for all of it, propped at the edge of a table that had obviously seen lighter loads and had been the better for it.

It had been a process over the course of a good week (or two), and it was finally turning out. Well, somewhat. There was the frame work done - kind of - and a good number of scales attached - relatively speaking - and they all had matching pants - only Toph didn't have shoes - so... It was so far a success, China thought.

Just as long as they didn't have to leave the apartment for the next ten hours or so. People had already started talking, hadn't they? There had be some super glue under one of the jaw wiring--!

( Open to anyone who would reasonably be able to track them for carting around supplies! )

"China-kun~ do you really think that we would run out so quickly?" There was nothing but amusement in his voice as he teased the dear country. Putting down the material he was working on, the kirin reached over for one of the few remaining packets of glue nearby.

Offering it over to the country, Sohki smiled cheekily, "Now don't lose this one."

Toph, naturally, was no help in the actual making of the dragon get up. The best she could was play errand girl, and even that was hit and miss sometimes if the clerk didn't know what it was Toph was looking for. So she was sitting around, occasionally checking for fallen scales or missing patches of fur.

"So, why am I the tail end again? Because I'm short?"

Not that she minded, but it was something to talk about.

"I do not lose it, it loses itself after it is empty!" He wasn't really complaining in any manner of the word, but he had to say something in his defense as he accepted that packet. It was a wonder they were getting anywhere, since two out of three of them were supposed to be blind (Sohki cheated), but they were--

A glance to one of said blind people, China mused: "Mostly. We could have you in the middle, but that would make the dragon very lumpy."

holy_prankster March 27 2011, 04:18:00 UTC

While he didn't respond, Sohki definitely gave China a look that clearly said 'yes, I'm sure that's the case.' Instead, he chuckled before turning back to his work.

He, of course, had appointed himself to be first in the dragon lineup, despite the fact that he was just as blind as Toph. Being anything else was just something that Sohki wouldn't accept, after all. Not to mention, he could only imagine Naga's reaction if the dragon king knew of his exploits here... or the fact that he was representing the guardian with a lazy backside.

A lumpy dragon. His expression seemed to turn more amused by the second.

"Yes, and we couldn't very well have a dragon looking like a camel," Sohki cheerfully piped in.

should we pause to let Moony tag in? terra_inflexus March 27 2011, 04:38:45 UTC

"What's a camel?" Really, was it that hard to remember that Toph wasn't from here? She had no idea what a camel was. They didn't even have anything with the name "camel" in it!

/APPEARS! travel_sized4u March 27 2011, 04:41:34 UTC

Mushu had decided to play it safe. With all the junk and mess starting to clutter up the floor, he didn't want to end up being buried under whatever that horrible fabric was.

He curled up on one of the emptier tables, raising an eyebrow at both Sohki and Toph, "Man, a camel? Please. Dragons only spit fire." Tapping claws before he figures he should clear things up a little, "Big hairy ugly thing. Got a hump on it's back and a nasty temper...did I mention it was ugly?"

/APPLAUSE closedmarket March 27 2011, 05:05:21 UTC

"A camel is-- ... Aa. Well. They are also very useful, for all that they do not look or smell the best." China gave the laying-low dragon an eying, too, but... well.

He'd heat up the glue, then ask for another modeling demonstration. Right! Gluing.

Sohki's smile seemed to widen at Toph's question, but it was truly Mushu's indignant response that drew a chuckle from the kirin. "I think that you forgot to mention that, yes," he said in reply to Mushu's unneeded question.

"I don't know, I think that there's something charming about the appearance of a camel," Sohki said with an amused chuckle on his tone. Then again, he did see the world quite differently than most other creatures anyway.

terra_inflexus March 27 2011, 15:33:39 UTC

Toph just stared straight ahead, thinking before shaking her head and leaning back.

"This place is weird. Give me an ostrich horse any day, not something with a hump on it's back. How do you ride that, anyway?"

travel_sized4u March 27 2011, 17:08:24 UTC

"Pfft, man I rather ride a camel then a horse." He leaned on his claw, watching the others. He raised an eyebrow at Sohki, "Ugly, stinky and a bad temper? You got weird taste man. REal weird."

By different, of course, Sohki meant completely strange and unusual.

closedmarket March 28 2011, 01:35:46 UTC

"Ostrich... horse...?" China barely repressed a shudder-- if those were real creatures, he didn't want to know how they came to be.

But then he hefted another sheet of cloth to the wire framework, eyed it, eyed Mushu, and eyed it again --

"Mushu." This would be no camel. And this was less of a suggestion, but, "You should be our model for this. That is good, yes?"

holy_prankster March 28 2011, 13:59:04 UTC

The thought of an ostrich horse positively delighted the kirin, and he wondered if it resembled what his mind was attempting to supply. It was such a pity that he was unable to read their souls, he thought while 'glancing' over towards Toph ( ... )

terra_inflexus March 28 2011, 17:21:50 UTC

"Giant bird that you ride around on," Toph explained. "That's all I can tell you."

She snickered at the idea of Mushu being their model. She didn't know what color he was, but she knew he was tiny. It'd be fun to see how China made that work out. "Mulan won't mind, will she?"

travel_sized4u March 28 2011, 19:18:23 UTC

Sorry Sohki, but Mushu just isn't going to buy it. The little dragon raised an eyebrow when he spotted the Kirin closing his eyes. Could he even see the mess currently around them?

"Me?" Okay that really hadn't been what he expected. He grinned and shrugged, "If y'all are sure you can capture my amazing self."

"She won't mind...long as you don't tell anyone where y'all got the look from." More people were finding out and while he knew none would blab, he just had to drive it home a bit more to feel really safe.

closedmarket March 29 2011, 02:28:00 UTC

That eye-opening-and-closing bit was a bit strange, but China didn't linger over it; he simply gave Sohki one last sizing-up glance before turning to this new 'model.'

Mushu was very tiny, in comparison. But his face fit, as long as they could properly see it--

"This means you will have to hold still, you know! And -- your ears. Try to put them forward." Yes, China was on the creative move. Don't mind if said ears get pulled on a bit, Mushu; the Nation was just darting over to do so.
