Okay, so.

( Hello everybody, it's Vash the Stampede currently sitting on the floor in his room surrounded by an absolutely mammoth pile of plushies. It's fine, don't worry about it. ) I may not be the guy with all the Christmas knowledge, we don't really have it where I'm from, but I do know the whole point is gift-giving, right? And what do kids need in the gift-giving season? Toys. Now I've done my best at the arcade, won whatever I can, but I think the guy running the place is super out for my hide -. ( A laugh, bright and uncomplicated. It's fine. ) - which means I need help. Because the Orphanage has a whole range of ages, right? And maybe some of them don't want cuddly toys - who am I to judge?

( He is judging a teensy tiny bit, because he thinks cuddly animals are great. )

So toys. I was wondering if anyone had anything they wanted to donate. We had that whole thing with the fake guns, right? ( He pulls a face, but he's going to soldier on. ) And there were those little figures that one time. If anyone's got anything they don't want anymore that we could fix up to give to those in need that would be really great. Or if anyone wants to try their hand at the other machines, I guess as long as it's not me the owner can't be too pissed. Anything would be super appreciated. They deserve something nice too, you know?

( And while he's aware that some people here are angrier about the Transylvanian orphans than others, he's hoping everyone secretly has a good heart down deep. )

Ah, this is an area where I can certainly help, and an unexpected one at that! The young master owns a toy company which I also assist in managing, so I have good experience with what toys are popular and how to manufacture them. Well, children of 1889, at least, but surely children do not change that much at their core? A fun toy is a fun toy.

You are onto something with the plush, for example. Funtom Company's most popular item by far was the Bitter Rabbit--a charming line of plush rabbits with different clothing and accessories that you could customize them with.

(Additionally, I hope you do not mind my replying with text to your video. I find it a bit easier to use the voice-to-text function while I am working.)

Indeed. The clothing was my suggestion, actually. The Bitter Rabbits secretly resemble my master in the first place, so I thought why not have them emulate his fashion too? But, should he make an appearance, you did not hear that from me...

Blankets are also an excellent idea, though. Since we have the time, perhaps we should start a quilting circle?


[ is he joking or just a grandma who knows ]

Regardless, I will see what I can do to contribute. Improving a child's Christmas is a truly wonderful thing, yes?

Precisely that idea. It is the charm of being able to customize them more to your liking! A donut necklace sounds quite charming, for example.

But yes, I do know how to quilt. It is a bit tedious, but easy enough for anyone to learn with a bit of persistence and patience. I do my sewing by hand still, mind you, for the machines are too expensive to justify... Or they were, at least. I do not know about now. Perhaps they are cheaper?

Well, I will endeavor to start a project or two, since why not. I am always searching for little projects to take on, and this seems an excellent candidate.

[personal profile] cutlery 2024-12-05 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I could, yes. It is really not very hard, just meticulous! If you fix up your own clothes, then you have the most crucial part necessary in the stitching, really.

...Ah, well. Assuming your stitches are good, at least! I will have to evaluate that first, as we do not want your work to unravel, naturally.

I spend a lot of time looking around the junk shops and second hand stores for things for Okinawa. I do often see toys. A little cleaning and tune up, and a lot of them could be good as new. Next time I'm out, I'll see what I can find.

So long as we make them look new, I think they won't mind. And that way, we can save money and buy even more for them.

I'll see what I can dig up, and I'll bring them back to base.

You're welcome. No need to make it up. But donuts are just fine.

I don't really have any toys... but I do have a bunch of trading cards of a ton of cats that I somehow ended up with last year? They look like they're part of a game that can be played with them that kids might like...

[Namely, these cards.]
thundercrashes: (lightning vortex)

[personal profile] thundercrashes 2024-12-03 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't mind. They're not the kind of cards I normally play anyway, so it's better to let them go to kids that will enjoy them more rather than gathering dust in my room.

[personal profile] thundercrashes 2024-12-04 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure. Just let me know where to meet or go to bring the cards to you for looking over, and I can try to help see if I can do anything too to help make more of them for the kids.

[personal profile] thundercrashes 2024-12-05 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that would probably be easier. I can be there in a few minutes if that's alright with you.

[Just give him a moment to gather up all of these cat cards in a container for them, and then Manjoume will head over to Everlight and knock on Vash's door here.]

[personal profile] thundercrashes 2024-12-07 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Name's Manjoume Jun.

And you're... Vash or something, right?

[He also failed to remember your name until now, sorry.]

[personal profile] thundercrashes 2024-12-07 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
It's cool, I understand.

[He will make sure to carefully avoid any plushes so that they don't get stepped on.]

Do you have a table I can put this on?

[He asks, as he holds up the box of cards he's brought here.]
