[Ryou is standing in front of a small shop in Nova City. He has an apron on and his usually wild hair is tied back into a ponytail today. The script Figurine Fables is emblazoned across the glass window. In the displays are several little carved, figurines

He looks a bit shy at addressing a large audience. But he's also glowing with pride. It shows in his smile.]

I finally made enough to open my figurine shop. I'm officially open now. I want to say, thank you to everyone that encouraged me.

[Here he bows politely in thanks and the feed cuts.]

It's wonderful.

[She smiles brightly.]

Do you take commissions? I'd love to have some made for a few friends of mine. I don't know if that'd be to much trouble...

Of course! Commissions are kind of my thing, I used to make all the gaming pieces for my friends when we put table top campaigns together.

I can forward you a form and you can fill out in detail exactly what it is you need or you can come in person.

I don't mind stopping by in person. I'd like it to be a surprise.

[She smiles.]

What are your hours? I won't be able to come until after the flower shop closes.

Eight in the morning until four in the afternoon. I can always work out some other time to meet with you if that doesn't work. After all, we already know each other. [He's a new business owner. He can't really be picky. But it's Terra, so he'd do it for her anyway.]

[Terra nods her head.]

I don't want to be any trouble. It's mostly figures of some friends. If pictures are alright I can collect them and drop them off on my next flower delivery to Nova City.

[Whenever that is.]

That's fine. I look forward to seeing your requests.

[ooc: I am game with handwaving it if you want but she was going to have little figures of her close friends made. Which are like 4 people (one of whom is Yugi)]

[I'm fine with that. Ryou will honored to make them. ~~Maybe he'll send them via Merc the model-citizen mailman.~~]

[HAHAHA, okay. Sounds good then!!!]

~~[Unless it's not in Nova City...Merc the Jerk can't go there.~~

Those are very detailed figurines. Very nicely made. I assume you made them all by hand?

[She had to admit she was really impressed.]

Yes. Usually, it doesn't take me long because I've been doing it for so long. But making enough to fill a shop was by far my biggest project.

How many did you have to make to do that?

I've been working on them since I got here. So....about a month and a half? I still have more stashed away in boxes, but I wanted to make sure these would sell first.

That's really impressive. I might actually swing by and look.

Great. I'm glad that people seem to like them.

It's understandable why. They are very detailed and interesting.

[While she hadn't heard the announcement over the network, Jessica was wandering through Nova City. Partially to browse, partially to see what job openings might be available somewhere, since she figured she probably couldn't get too ambitious to pursue her idol career again yet. Her eyes were drawn to the figures in the window, and she was immediately pulled over to stare at them, not even realizing that it was the owner of the store that was out front.]

Oh wow, those are so cute!

Thank you. [This was good. He already had one order from Terra and so far the reaction to his work had been positive.]

Would you like to come inside?

[She couldn't help but blush then. Nope, didn't realize that was the owner, and she started gushing in front of him. Sure, there was nothing to be ashamed of to show appreciation and admiration for an artist's craft, but she felt a little embarrassed that she practically squealed like a fangirl at them. Composure, Jessica! Regain yourself!]

I'd love to! Did you make these all yourself?

Yes. [He replied with quiet pride. He's actually pleased that his work made someone that happy. He opens the door for here and makes a sweeping gesture.]

Feel free to look around. If there's something in particular you're looking for let me know.

Ah, thank you!

[She smiles and nods to him while taking a few steps inside. Her eyes light up again, and she couldn't help but gawk over his figures. She could barely make a model kit and paint it (albeit not well) let alone even consider making something of this kind of intricate detail. She looks back over her shoulder at Bakura with a wide smile.]

These are all amazing! How long have you been doing this?

Hmm...[He ponders for a moment.]

Since I was ten or eleven at least. I had been given a board game that had some very elaborate looking pieces and I was so pulled in by the detail and craftsmanship on them I thought ' I wish I could do that.'

[He smiles brightly.] So I bought some art supplies and I learned.

[ Oh wow. She can't help smiling just a little when she turns on the feed, having looked over the initial display. ]

Those look amazing, Ryou. I am glad to see that you have opened up shop and wish you all the best with it.

Thanks, Adela. How are things at your forge?

Things are going well, if I have to put a word to it. I have yet to hear complaint of my work, and I am often kept busy with that as well as an apprenticeship to learn a new craft.

It has been some time since I have last seen you, though... Have you been well in the meantime?

Oh? What new craft are you learning?

I can't complain. I'll be working a lot now, but it's something I like. [And he played cards with a group of people and nothing bad happened - even if certain adults had decided to act like grade schoolers. Oh right: he'd signed a contract with ~~the devil~~ Emerald. That had been interesting.]

Edited 2016-05-17 00:43 (UTC)

It is the creation of auto-mail, under Miss Winry. She agreed to take me on as an apprentice to help learn how to craft them and how they work.

It almost is not work at all if you enjoy it, though - I can honestly say I am glad that you have such work as well.

Auto-mail? [ He hasn't heard of it.] Is that like chain-mail or something?

That's true. Both of us are fortunate.

Oh, no! Auto-mail is...

[ She's pausing as she thinks over how to explain it. ]

Say, someone has an artificial arm, but it is made of metal. It works and functions just like a normal arm otherwise however! That is auto-mail.

That sounds really amazing! [Entering fan-boy mode. ~~Adela is so cool.~~]

Would you mind if I came and saw it?

I would have to ask Miss Winry, but I cannot see her saying no to that. She knows much more of it than I do, so it would be wiser to ask her more of it all.

Really?! I'll just watch,promise, I won't be anywhere in the way. [Geez, have some shame about your nerdiness.]

Edited 2016-05-18 05:27 (UTC)

[ She can't help herself, chuckling a little bit at Ryou's enthusiasm. ]

I shall ask, all right? I will let you know as soon as I can if she would not mind an audience while she works, or is teaching me anything new.

That would be great. Thanks, Adela, I appreciate it. [When would he get to see something like that again?]

Edited 2016-05-20 05:06 (UTC)

Of course, Ryou.

May I come by and see your carvings in person in the future, though? I would love to see what you have made so far.

[ Considering he knows of the darker side of things like this ~~Thanks Thief King~~, Atem is rather impressed. And perhaps has a bit of an idea. ]

Wonderful, Bakura. I don't suppose you're up for visitors?

[He eyes the video with an air of surprise. He wasn't expecting to hear from Other Yugi. No, Atem. He needs to get used to thinking of them as separate.]

Sure. Come over whenever you have time.

[ Atem wouldn't mind if Bakura felt more comfortable in calling him 'Other Yugi.' He was still getting used actually having a name, after all. ]

All right. I have an idea I wish to run by you. I'll be there shortly.

I'll be here. If I'm in the back, just ring the bell.

[ Atem nods and shuts off the feed.

A little while later, he'll be at the shop, poking his head in. ]

Bakura?

[The silver haired boy was actually sitting at the front counter. He shut the art book he was browsing and looked up, smiling at a Atem in greeting.

But he also feels a little nervous. He hasn't had a great track record with spirits. Still, this is the nice one, right? It's hard to picture Yugi with a truly dark side. He wonders what it says about him that the thief is so....it doesn't matter. He's Ryou Bakura no matter what, right?]

Yes, I'm here. Come inside. You needed to talk to me?

Edited 2016-05-20 05:10 (UTC)

[ Perhaps one day Atem will explain what exactly was going on with the thief. Ryou is owed that much at least.

He enters the shop, shutting the door behind him. ]

I do. I was curious to know if you would be able to make something for Yugi for his birthday next month.

[Ryou immediately brightens at the prospect of doing something for a friend. He remembered Yugi mentioning a party and had contemplated on what to get him. But Atem probably knew best what he would want.]

I'd be honored to make something for Yugi. [He grins enthusiastically.] What did you have in mind?

Edited 2016-05-21 00:02 (UTC)

Yugi's been here for over a year before we arrived. I was thinking that perhaps little figurines of his friends?
