[First District, Traverse Town. Kanji's spent a little while getting settled in, but he's out and exploring right now, getting his bearings.
Or, at least, he is until trouble hits.
A mob of Nightmares. Nothing spectacular, a gang of Meow Wows, but it's enough to catch him off guard. How can anything so adorable be so vicious...! Then again: he's hardly unfamiliar with getting into a fight. Now, what can he use around here to take those damn things out with...

Shortly after, parked on the steps leading down to the town gates, he'll be making a call to get some more answers while he recovers a bit.]

...anyone getting this? Uh, hi, anyway. Name's Kanji - I got here earlier. And - I've got a coupla questions. About these guys.

[He pans the camera around to show his Pricklemane bouncing happily nearby.]

This little dude saved my ass earlier, but I don't know anything about it. Or about the ones who were trying to eat me. ... That's how it works, right? They're 'Dream Eaters', we're dreaming...

[Kanji logic, everyone.]

So is there anything I need to know? Like, how do I look after this guy? Does anywhere sell food for 'em?

...uh, and does anyone know who owns the café by the 'item' shop? The one with the chairs outside? I ... can't see 'em anywhere but I think I kinda owe 'em some cash.
I just... didn't exactly have anythin' else I could use, here...

Weapon lockers on the Mother of Invention are a good bet, or the weapon shop in Twilight Town. Moogles could probably let you in if it's closed. You been to the other worlds yet? [They weren't exactly hard to get to, but it could be weird if you wren't used to it.]

Failing that, shouldn't be too hard to make, if all you need's something blunt and heavy.

Other worlds ... you can get to other worlds from here?

[That pretty much says it all. He's not unused to the concept, but he hadn't expected there to be anywhere else he could reach...]

And 'blunt 'n heavy' is pretty much what I've been gettin' by with so far. [Chairs, desks, shields, metal plates... it's pretty much Kanji's signature style.]

Three of 'em. Portals are in the fountain in the Second District, right near the hotel. Twilight Town's pretty big - empty city, always at sunset. Mother of Invention's closest to where I come from, frigate-class spaceship. Last one's Ponyville. [Yeah, he just said Ponyville.] I'd save it for last if I was you. You turn into a pony if you go there, and no, I'm not shitting you.

- shit, that's what those things I saw down there were? Portals? Damn...

[He shakes his head. Beats jumping into TVs to get to them, at least.]

Okay, staying away from the pony town. Got it. A spaceship, though... [he smiles.] That's pretty cool. - Though, uh, I guess if you come from somewhere like that it ain't gonna be anythin' special for you, it's just me.

Spaceships mostly just mean we gotta get put into cryo till the next mission, but it ain't bad to have somethin' a little more like home and less like this flashy magic crap everywhere else. [Well. He found the empty spaceship comforting, and that by far wasn't the strangest thing about Emile.]

Worth lookin' at, for sure. And if you get short on munny, Nightmares on the ship got plenty.

Yeah. The ones I already beat up gave me a bit to start.

[He thinks for a moment on the other thing Emile said. They'd had a bit of the old 'flashy magic crap', sure, but it'd only been on the far side of the TV... well. As if that didn't count by itself.] This town ain't too far off the kinds of things we had back in my hometown. It ain't so bad for me. ...except we didn't have all these neon lights. Or, y'know, all these creatures.
[...In his own world, at least.]

[He snorts a little.] Hope most people don't have monsters spawnin' every time you turn your back. Keeps it interesting, though. [Emile would get bored so fast if he didn't have anything to fight.]

I know this place ain't for for anyone, but if you can find somethin' you're comfortable with, ain't too bad at all. God knows I been in worse places.

...Got a point there, man.

[He smiles a bit. No matter how hard fighting had been, it'd never been boring, that's for sure... it'd always been worth it.]

[Emile chuckles. Fighting was what he lived for.]

Well. You got any questions or you want to work out some training, look me up any time.

[Kanji thinks for a moment, and nods.]

Both sound good. Sure thing. Should I drop ya a line on here or come lookin'?

Comms. Unless you want to drop by a pony-run fashion boutique for dinner some time.

[Yes, he lives in a fashion boutique run by a pony. Don't ask.]

...I dunno. Could be interestin'.

[Emile is making friends! She's so proud of him!]

You're more than welcome to come by for dinner, Kanji. Let me know when and I'll set an extra place.

[Wait, what? He's caught offguard by this intrusion, and even more so by adorable pony-]

Uh... who're you? [Realising how blunt that must've sounded, he quickly throws in a-] ...Sorry.

[And she goes on completely unfazed by his potential rudeness. Don't worry, Kanji, she's been greeted with much worse.]

It's quite alright. My name is Rarity, and I run the Carousel Boutique.

Oh...! [A lightbulb flickers on slowly.] You're the Rarity people've been mentionin'? It's, uh. Nice to meet ya.

[Oh, she know people have been mentioning her - she does keep up on the gossip, after all. Still, it is flattering to be recognized.]

I am! It's lovely to meet you too, and you're welcome at the boutique any time.

Cool. [...Pause. But he's got to know.] What sorta stuff d'you do there?

[And how the heck does she do it without fingers?]

[She's not certain if he's actually interested or just being polite, but enthusiasm is enthusiasm and she has that in spades.]

I'm a designer, of course! It is my special talent. I create fashion for ponies, humans, and Spirits.

For all of 'em? Huh.

[He's ... more than a little interested, but he's being a spot cagey about it in such an open forum. Fashion might not be his thing as such, but he's certainly worked on enough of his own outfits...

Still. He smiles.]

'S a good talent.

Edited 2013-12-18 17:16 (UTC)

I'm accustomed to ponies, of course, so designing for humans does take a bit of work - but yes, I do design for all three.

[Oh, she's seen that look. That's the same look Rainbow Dash had when she didn't want to admit she liked to read. ]

Why, thank you! If you ever need something to wear that isn't covered in belts and zippers, you're welcome to come by.

[There's your pretense, Kanji. Come over and talk to her.]

[It's an excuse. He'll take it. And, honestly, while he doesn't have too much of an objection to the belts - why not see what's on offer, anyway?]

Sure thing. I'll be there sometime.
