[ LOCKED TO SHUTEN CLAN ] video | un: majima

[no_kyouken]

[ Your current Shuten Clan Lost Soul lieutenant is here with an important PSA for this unruly bunch. Majima is sitting in one of the Shuten family offices. ]

All right... [ He seems kind of exasperated off the bat. ] Listen, chinpira. There is a dress code an' we're gonna be enforcin' it.

When ya are on th'clock for Toraguma: ya need to look right.

Black slacks, long-sleeve shirt with buttons an' a collar. An' one of these.

[ He holds up a shiny little lapel pin, it has the kanji for Shuten on it. ]

We have 'em at th'offices if ya don't have one yet.

Your shirt can be any ugly pattern ya like, or it can be plain. Tie or no tie, jacket or no jacket. If ya need help with a tie, ask somebody.

Shirts an' slacks have t'be ironed. For anyone who doesn't know how t'iron a shirt, I'll come by th'Shuten housing an' show ya as a group.

Yes, this is what Toraguma expects. Yes, I will straighten ya out [ Read: Beat ] if ya buck me on this.

Other Shutens need t'be able t'recognize ya an' we don't want ya mistaken for a colors gang with th'Enma comin' down on them.

[ He looks at someone off camera to see if he's forgotten anything. Majima mutters fuck quietly. ]

An' shine your shoes.



[[ ooc; majima says he will fight over this but uh... only if you want to... like feel free to ignore this whole thing. I'm not the cops 8V ]]
[[ eta; if you do want to fight about it, you can reach out to meowjima, heretic_blade, or pitfight. Depending on who you want to get into it with. They're also on hand to help you get dressed up too. ]]
[[ also yes definitely threadjack away, go ham. ]]

That's a no from me, dawg.

[sleepinglyra]

That depends on what aniki means.

[metafictions]

Of course, aniki.

[is he the only one who's gonna do it…]

[oh no.]

Yes sir.

[ See, this makes sense, given that's basically what Gueira and Meis called Lio. But... ]

I don't get the impression he's the kind of guy who'd demand that. Should you really be demanding it on his behalf?

text; un: yukichi

[allmenare]

I'm likely twice his age, that would seem patronizing coming from me.

[mostly to himself:] Chin...chilla? [Wait, no. That's wrong. Anyway.]

Got it. I wasn't aware we had a specific lapel pin, I'll come pick one up soon. Does the type of jacket matter?

[A beat.]

Do this many people not know how to iron?

[no_kyouken]

Yakuza families all have pins. These were in a box in a closet, so I dug 'em out for everybody.

[ Probably because Toraguma told him to babysit everyone and Majima finally went fine. ]

It's a suit jacket, somethin' that matches yer slacks. Mostly just depends on th'weather though, nobody wears that shit when it's hot.

[ As for ironing... His head tips back tiredly a little. ]

S'the first thing ya get taught when you're trainin': how t'iron oyaji's shirt right. Just used t'havin' to teach new guys.

[ganashara]

[ Once he was sure the recording was done, Lio came back into the office, setting down an energy drink for Majima, holding another for himself. ]

It all seems a little pointless, still. I get why the badge is important, but everything else feels like it's bound to cause wasteful conflict.

[ And yet, he was dressed exactly as Majima said he should. Without a bike, there wasn't much point in still wearing biking gear.

... He kind of wished he could still get away with a cravat. ]

[no_kyouken]

[ He inclines his head that he's listening, accepts the drink with a little nod. ]

Normally don't gotta tell guys this stuff, they wanna dress like their oyaji.

[ Says the man who speaks with a fake accent because his patriarch was Kansai. ]

text; un: lyra

[sleepinglyra]

That's an excellent idea.

[Too many of his clanmates had questionable taste in fashion.]

If I may ask, what does chinpira mean?

[no_kyouken]

Low level yakuza, th'guys on th'streets not th'guys in th'offices.

[demonrebel]

Man, screw that noise! I already brought a white suit, and it's tailormade!

Best to believe I'm rocking that with a red shirt.

[no_kyouken]

If ya wanna be th'one takin' it t'the dry cleaner every time ya get blood on yer white shit, sure.

[That's not far from his usual clothes, except...]

I only arrived in this city with geta sandals. If anyone can recommend a shoe store, I would be in your debt.

[no_kyouken]

Let one of us know if ya need cash for shoes.

[ It's the yakuza, they'll remember that debt but they do want everyone dressed properly so they've got funds for it. ]

[pervy_kappa]

Sooo... Are ya saying that we're only allowed to wear 'ugly' patterns or plain shirts?

Or are you saying this from the perspective that yer just biased and think all patterns are ugly?

[no_kyouken]

I'm sayin' that I don't care how ugly yer shirt is as long as you're wearin' it.

text; un: owl

[getting_better]

we should have markers on the pins so we can tell if we're talking to someone higher up or same rank.

[no_kyouken]

We can do that on ours, can't help ya with th'main Oni fam guys though.

There's a chart in th'family office of who's what rank, by the way. We usually just check it an' memorize it, back home.

[ deep frown. ]

This dress code doesn't seem fit for a proper lady, now, does it?

[no_kyouken]

What, can't a lady wear a suit?

Only ever seen nee-sans in kimono otherwise.

[sawofstrength]

At least I won't have to worry about not finding clothes that fit me.

[no_kyouken]

[ The small curl of a smile. Honestly, he gets that. He's a six foot tall Japanese man: and Japan does not cater to that height. ]

Yeah, you'll do all right with th'yokai sizin'.

[Chinpira...being called that makes Fukuzawa's eyebrow twitch.]

I would like to request an exception to the uniform policy.

The traditional clothing I wear makes it easier for me to conduct my work. Nobody would take me seriously if I dressed like that.

[no_kyouken]

Traditional is fine

un: felix

[littleshield]

whatever
ill stick to what ive been usually wearing which is more than good enough

[no_kyouken]

So ya just piped up t'be insubordinate?
