this world is a big planet

if wyver and olympia are having problems
why dont we just try to leave?

I see. I have traveled on cruisers but I have never managed one. It might be interesting to learn about it, especially if I'm going to write a 'Stranded' story one day.

Do you own a boat?

[ayes]

no id have to get one somehow
idk im still just kinda working this idea out

are you a writer or something

[insist]

A ship would cost a small fortune, though I could have easily afforded one back then. Do you have the funds?

Much more than that. I not only write the story, but draw the art. I'm a manga artist.

[ayes]

no i was thinking we could put our money together or something

and thats really cool that youre a manga artist
i do some sketches for clothes ideas
well i did back home i dont really do it here

and its a lot of work so you must work really hard!

[insist]

If you can show me you're serious about the idea, I don't mind investing. [ Not that he has a lot of money at the moment, but he wants to go exploring!! ]

Of course. I used to work tirelessly to provide Shueisha with a perfected manuscript. Unfortunate that Olympia doesn't have a very big market for manga.

Are you interested in art?

[ayes]

you could probably sell it to a few people im sure even if there isn't a big market for it i did more sketching im more interested in like designing cute clothes and making them than like paintings if that counts as art

[insist]

From my experience to date, a lot of potential buyers would rather I draw them some porn.

Fashion design is a form of art. You would also make these?

[ayes]

[She's not going to touch the first part.] yeah I do! I work at a tailors back home i was in a musical group with my friends and i designed the stage costumes and sewed them

[insist]

It's one thing to design the clothes ... I suppose having the dedication to bring that design into the material world can be called admirable.

Are you any good at what you do? You should show me.

[ayes]

thanks for saying that
idk i think im ok
the costumes work well

a lot of them got destroyed in the riots but i can try showing you whats left

[insist]

Those riots ... [ He's heard of them but just missed them. Things seem relatively calm right now. ]

Alright. Let's see them then.

[ayes]

what like
right now?
i dont have it on me most of them are in the shop

ive got like one here at my house thats all

[insist]

Then show me that. [ he's impatient, so hurry!! ]

[ayes]

ok ok hang on!!

[And she sends a picture of an outfit.]

[insist]

Oh. You really made that from scratch?

[ayes]

yeah ofc i designed and sewed it is it really that hard to believe??

[insist]

I'm trying to say that the worksmanship is ... impressive. I've got no reason not to believe you.

[ if she's the model, she does look young, but rohan became a published mangaka at 17, so ... ]

Will you do a custom request for someone else?

[ayes]

oh thanks and yeah sure my hands still not at 100% but i dont think itd be too much of a problem what do you want

[insist]

Just a few garments. It's not easy to find clothing in the style I like.

What happened to your hands?

[ayes]

uh







stuff

[insist]

I've heard about some recent kidnappings, but I was not present for them. Were your hands hurt there?

[ but he won't pry too much either. there's nothing to be gained by it. ]

[ayes]

yeah
thats what happened

just one hand but im right handed so it wasnt that bad

[insist]

Were you kidnapped yourself?

[ayes]

yeah
i was

[insist]

[ Hmm. ]

I suppose it's a good thing you're alright. I won't make you work when you're not at your best. We can have this conversation again in a later time.

What's your name?
