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. )

i'm usually at the orphanage, but it might be easier tracking me down on base. everlight room 22!
no subject
[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.]
no subject
Hi, uh -. Oh. I never even got your name. Trading card guy, right?
no subject
And you're... Vash or something, right?
[He also failed to remember your name until now, sorry.]
no subject
( They're all fully heaped up. Vash just laughs sheepishly. )
I want it to be a surprise since most of them aren't expecting anything.
no subject
[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.]
no subject
( He shifts to brush aside a veritable mountain of crap from his table, old whiskey bottles and stacked books, trinkets he's been tinkering on. It gives his new friend a place to put everything down, which means Vash is bouncing a little with excitement. )
You know, I don't know about the kids but I'd be pretty stoked with trading cards. I think it'll be fun for them. I bet I could divide them up a little so they get to try and barter with each other. Friendly though. It'd be a good learning experiment for them, and it would get a bit more conversation going. We have some shy ones.
no subject
Yeah, I agree: I mean, I love Duel Monsters, which is the most popular trading card game out there where I'm from. So I'm sure that there are kids out there who would get excited about collecting cards in this place too.
[He opens the box, and it looks like while he hasn't divided them up yet, Manjoume did put all these kitty cards in little sleeves to help keep them in good condition.]
At the time I don't think I found any cards in here that were apparently considered super rare, so we should be able to divide them all up in a way that's fair and doesn't start any conflicts just because one kid somehow randomly got the best card out of the pile or something...
[No playground fights over a kid with a holographic first edition
charizardhollyleaf warrior cat should occur, he thinks.]no subject
( He understands the concept, kids will barter with anything. He's certainly come across his fair supply of knick-knacks in his day, willingly parted with items for bottlecaps or cool feathers just to entertain some children. So he gets it. And he might be peering at the cards in interest himself. )
Oh, this one's real cute.
no subject
[But he doesn't actually know for certain, since he's not familiar with this game.]
I'm not really that interested in collecting cute cats like these but the kids will probably think they're cute so it works out.
no subject
( Snacks, maybe. His go-to is donuts. )
no subject
Oh, uh... you don't have to do that, it's fine. I mean, you're already helping me by taking these off my hands and giving them to kids who will appreciate them more than I do, rather than just gathering dust in my room...
no subject
( His go-to when it comes to his friends and gifts. )
no subject
[Luckily for Vash, this is an easy go-to that will work on Manjoume here.]
no subject
( Because there are A Lot in Neo Tokyo. He's discovered that for himself. )
no subject
no subject
( As a sprinkles donut kind of guy, the sheer amount of new donuts had been daunting. The same with most foods, actually, considering how scarce things on No Man's Land were. )
I had one that tasted like coffee and you'd think because those two things separately were really good, it would be the best, right? But no. So I'm sticking to dipping one into the other instead.
no subject
[Manjoume likes coffee, but hearing that coffee-flavor donuts are not good... thats sad.]
What do you think of jelly filled ones? Or creme filled? I think I prefer the latter or without any filling if given the choice but maybe this place has good fillings...
no subject
( He gives a wild little grin, sharing Manjourne in on his misfortune. )
I spilled half the thing down myself the first time. It was devastating.
no subject
[Then again, Manjoume... probably would be a slob and say that its fine if it had gotten on his own coat by comparison, because black hides almost everything.]
no subject
( The Worst. )
no subject
[These two should not be allowed to have an opinion on this.]
no subject
( Pointing to fingers to his eyes, and then two Manjourne's way, like they're on the same wavelength. )
And these cards really do look great. The kids are gonna love them.
no subject
Good. At some point, I'd like to get some Duel Monster cards--the kind I enjoy--made for people to collect and play with here too, but I'm glad these ones at least are going to be appreciated.
