✿002 [Video] (FAIL-LOCKED AWAY FROM THOSE OF THE MALE PERSUASION)

[cannotcrossdress]

[Chizuru seems uncomfortable appearing on the network - and not in the usual "Chizuru being socially awkward" way. Like, in the squirmy, shifty, ants-in-your-pants uncomfortable way. Why can't she seem to sit still?]

I think I need some--I mean, where can I find binding fabric? Bandages tend to work just fine, but typically something a little less stretchy, thicker, stiffer fabric--for binding my breasts down, I mean. [In case it wasn't obvious.]

[She looks up in thought, digressing to an aside.] ...though I guess dressing as a boy isn't entirely necessary here. It's not exactly Kyoto or anything...[Allegedly it's just as dangerous, but Chizuru's yet to see that for herself.]

Ahaha...! [Oops, was she talking to herself?] I dunno, what do you think? I haven't worn girl's clothes in a few years now...I don't even know what'd be considered 'normal' for a girl my age to wear these days? Should I aim for kimono like back home, or should I aim to dress like--well, whatever the "natives" here are...[Hmm. Are there any natives? Everyone dresses so differently here, it's hard to tell who's from where.]

What do you think? Should I just stick with what I know? [Though dressing like a girl...well, she did kind of miss it, but she doesn't want to make her housemates uncomfortable with it.]

...is that really practical? That must get expensive, after all...

[And that money would be much better spent on food for the guys.]

[breezing]

Maybe not if there were money, but nothing costs anything here.

[Aagh Ikki with your details and facts. How can Chizuru have an excuse?!]

B-but I wouldn't have anyplace to keep everything! It's very crowded here, you see...

[breezing]

I don't think clothes take up thaaaaat much room! [ but then she doesn't have tons. ]

[cannotcrossdress]

But you have the undergarments, the kimono robes, the hakama, the obi, all these layers and you have to store them separately, you know!

[She wasn't old enough to dress formally just yet, except for festivals, so she can't blame the little girl for not fully understanding.]

[breezing]

I don't know what most of those words are!

video;

[cannotcrossdress]

You'll learn them when you're older, I'm sure!

video;

[breezing]

Maaaaaybe. But those might be from your world, not mine. 'Cause when I get older, I'll still just be wearing air nomad robes an' stuff.

[cannotcrossdress]

'Air nomad'...? [That doesn't even sound remotely familiar.]

video;

[breezing]

That's a people in my world!

video;

[cannotcrossdress]

Like a race or a clan of some sort?

video;

[breezing]

Yep! Pretty much both of those things. 'Cause we have four nations in my world! The air nomads - that's me an' my family - and the fire nation, and the water tribes - north an' south - and the earth kingdom.

[cannotcrossdress]

[Wow. That is a Lot of Information.]

So there are only four races in your world?

video;

[breezing]

Kiiiiiiiinda. But everyone mixes and matches now, so maybe not?

video;

[cannotcrossdress]

Mixes and...[Chizuru tilts her head, not quite understanding.]...matches..?

video;

[breezing]

Mmm, there're lots of multicultural families now!

video;

[cannotcrossdress]

Oh--that's interesting....does it affect the children in any way?

[She'd think it's unheard of where she comes from, but that was before she realized things such as oni existed. She wondered just how many half-blooded and impure oni were out there who were sired by mixed parents.]

video;

[breezing]

I dunno! I guess sometimes you get waterbenders in the Fire Nation an' stuff like that, but it doesn't matter too much.

video;

[cannotcrossdress]

So everyone accepts the changes? Without any problem?

[That sounds like such an ideal situation - she can't imagine it actually being true, though.]

video;

[breezing]

There are different sorts of problems now, I guess? I think there are also still those kinds of problems, but I'm from around about the area that has the most criss-cross, since people from every nation live in Republic City.

video;

[cannotcrossdress]

Republic City..? Is it some sort of port?

[Sounds a bit like Osaka, to be honest...]

video;

[breezing]

Yep! Basically that's what it is! Allllll four nations meet there!
