Fifth Pattern ; voice

[hikaruorkaoru]

People come every month, right? That's what I'm getting from this place.

[Hikaru's been very, very quiet lately. Holed up alone in his apartment, working on designs and sewing new clothes with his lovely friend -- a sewing machine.

But it's nearly that time again, so... he's gotten a little restless.]

Could everyone keep an eye out for Hitachiin Kaoru for me? I know he's coming. ["He wouldn't make me spend Christmas alone."] I'm just worried, you know? That he'll end up somewhere remote. So, just keep a lookout, okay?

Anyway.

Someone told me that you guys have a pretty major Christmas party here, so I'm totally taking commissions for clothes.

No set price. Tell me what you want, and we can negotiate what I want in return.

[Oh - it's Mr. High Fashion.]

You know, I can keep an eye out. But what's this Hitachiin guy look like?

[Voice]

[hikaruorkaoru]

Exactly like me. We're twins.

[Voice]

[wildbluevagner]

Whoa! I never would have guessed that. Come to think of it, I don't think I got your name.

[Voice]

[hikaruorkaoru]

I'm Hikaru. My brother's Kaoru.

[Of course, once they're together, there's no promising they won't pass themselves off as each other.

But he won't say that.]

[Voice]

[wildbluevagner]

[Hopefully a game he'll be able to play someday. As it is, Kurt just takes a moment to place 'Hitachiin' as the last name. The name order thing is a bit confusing to him as a German American, but he may have been at least a little familiar with it from watching some anime.]

I get it. Nice to officially meet you, man. I'm Kurt.

[Voice]

[fashionably_strong]

If I find him outside, I'll make sure to send you a journal message and get him to the clothing shop to help him get something that's warm and as fashionable as I can find that day.

[Voice]

[hikaruorkaoru]

This is why I like you. You understand completely.

[It's easy to laugh talking about that. Not thinking about the idea of Kaoru showing up in the cold, all alone.

Or, worse, not showing up.]

[Voice]

[fashionably_strong]

[She doesn't mind looking out for him, and it'll be easy to identify him. He'll look just like Hikaru except in New Feather clothing. ...hopefully he'll get clothing, unlike what happened to poor Thor.]

What can I say? I've got my priorities in order.

[Voice]

[hikaruorkaoru]

[Which reminds him.]

What's your favorite color?

[Voice]

[fashionably_strong]

Red. Why do you ask?

_{[ At first he thought this was stupid, and then he had the best absolute idea ever. You should never put Kirk on bed-rest or medical leave. It gives him time to think. ]}

Think you could work up an elf costume? Don't worry about the pointy ears though - the person I have it in mind for has it covered.

[ video ]

[hikaruorkaoru]

Yeah, I could manage that. What's it worth to you?

Re: [ video ]

[universal_charm]

_{[ His grin is oh so very mischievous. Those baby blues are sparkling like nothing else. ]}

What do you want? I'm willing to pay handsomely.

[ video ]

[hikaruorkaoru]

Well, what've you got? I can't really do consistent pricing here because, y'know, whole "lack of currency" thing. Makes it really annoying to be in business.

Re: [ video ]

[universal_charm]

Well, I'm pretty good with technology. Have anything broken that needs fixing?

[Video]

[complicatedliar]

Hm. You are identical twins, yes?

[He knows the key to a nice wardrobe is a happy tailor. And he is going to need something nice for the solstice...]

[Video]

[hikaruorkaoru]

Yeah.

[...And for just a little added incentive here:]

He's an even better designer than I am.

[Video--Locked]

[complicatedliar]

[Like Mr. Vanity here needed more incentive.

He redoes the video as something locked.]

If you give me a few drops of your blood, I ought to be able to put together an enchantment of some sort for you. Since you both have the same blood.

[Video--Locked]

[hikaruorkaoru]

What sort of enchantment?

[The only magic that exists in his world... is the threat of black magic and the Beelzenef puppet and curse doll.

Both of which... Well. They scare Tamaki enough, so Hikaru treats them with caution when Nekozawa-senpai is near.]

Re: [Video--Locked]

[complicatedliar]

At the least, a glass or crystal that will break if he arrives.

If I really get elbows deep into the maths, perhaps some sort of compass...though that would obviously only work once he's inside the barrier.

[bided]

I'm more than happy to keep a look out for him - but what does he look like? Oh, and who should I tell?

I'm Trisha Elric, by the way.

[hikaruorkaoru]

[Hikaru turns on the video function of the journal and gives a grin. One he doesn't quite feel, but he can still give it.]

He looks just like me.

Tell him Hikaru's looking for him -- and that there are clothes for him in our place: room 5, Heart building.

[bided]

Ah, so a twin brother...

[ Well, that makes it a lot easier. ]

I'll be sure to pass the message on if I see him, Hikaru.

[hikaruorkaoru]

Thank you very much. [When it's something he wants and it involves Kaoru, he can be completely polite.]

video;

[bided]

It's not any trouble at all! After all, that sort of thing, wanting to find a family member...

...I completely understand that!
