006 // [accidental video]

[frankengambler]

[The feed is partially obscured by discarded ties and at an odd angle where the NV’s been pushed aside but it’s easy enough to work out that it’s outside a row of changing room cubicles. Waiting by one of them is Tonegawa, who is tapping his foot impatiently and frowning.]

I know you're done in there, Kaiji.

[He raps his fingers threateningly

video.

[killingame]

He's right, Kaiji, you do look a lot better.

[ he might almost be smiling. ]

[frankengambler]

[The reply comes about five or ten minutes later and when the video starts up again, he's back in his own clothes and looking very red faced.]

That's easy enough for you to say- you're always dressed like this. [faintly sulkily] It makes me look like some loser salaryman.

permavideo.

[ both ears swivel up slightly, head tilting. ]

I'm not sure why you'd think that. You clean up just fine.

[frankengambler]

I don't want to clean up just fine.

[Can you hear the sound of Kaiji's prejudice against suits? It's like a teenage boy complaining about his school uniform. Loudly.]

Only he- [he jabs his thumb over his shoulder, presumably at Tonegawa]- thinks that people are gonna flip their shit if I turn up to a job interview in jeans or something.

[madeinoblivion]

Gee, don't broadcast your clothes shopping, what are you, a bunch of girls?

[voice]

[frankengambler]

[irritably] You're the one watching. What does that make you? Anyway, it was an accident, smart ass.

Re: [voice]

[madeinoblivion]

Where are you trying to get a job? You don't have to get dressed up like that for all of them out there, you know.

[voice]

[frankengambler]

[Finding someone who agrees with him takes some of the anger out of his voice.]

Some fancy hotel. Trust me, I'd tried telling him exactly the same thing as you just told me but would he listen? No. Geeze...

Hello Mister Kaiji!

[Video]

[frankengambler]

... [blink] ... uh, hey, kid. Long time no see. No hats today?

[Well, this definitely isn't a situation he ever expected to find himself in. Standing in a changing room talking to a little girl with horns through a computer screen.]

[Video]

[subject_seven]

Nope. Not today.

[frankengambler]

[Kaiji's black mood is somewhat lifted- she's just so cute. He's even happy to make fun of himself a little.]

I don't think suits suit me much, huh? I look totally old and boring like this guy-

[The feed swings back round to Tonegawa.]

[video]

[serratedwings]

[Out of nowhere, a strange boy applauding.] Ooooh, that's very dapper!

[video]

[frankengambler]

[Kaiji's face visibly falls at the word dapper. He looks almost disgusted.]

... urgh... seriously...?

[video]

[serratedwings]

...is something wrong?

[video]

[frankengambler]

"Dapper"? Isn't that how you describe old men?

video;

[marked_songbird]

Why, Kaiji. You look positively dashing.

[keywords are relevant :3]

[video] typos eating my brain i swear

[frankengambler]

Ah, Oruha... [Kaiji blinks once, twice times then slowly starts to turn scarlet.] ... haha, well... suit's aren't really my thing, you know? I've never been dashing before.

[You can say that again. The only 'dashing' Kaiji usually does is away from debt collectors.]

[video] i know the feeling /pats

[marked_songbird]

There's always a first time for everything.

What's the occasion?

[permavideo]

[frankengambler]

I'm looking for a better job and someone- [scornful look over his shoulder]- seems to think they'll kick me out for wearing jeans to an interview. It's so much easier for girls...

Which reminds me- you found anywhere yet?
