[ LOCKED TO SHUTEN CLAN ] video | un: majima

[no_kyouken]

[ Majima is here with a PSA for all you sweet newbies. He's smoking somewhere in one of the Shuten family offices. He wears a black suit with a red collared shirt underneath. ]

Got a round've new Shutens t'welcome. If ya wanna introduce yerself, now's yer chance.

I'm Majima, th'Lieutenant. My co-lieutenants are Izo, Hizen, an' Nishitani.

Dante, Felix, Minato, Bishop, an' Gojyo are our juniors. Ya need help with somethin', come ask one of us. Yer part of th'clan now, ya got people.

[ With the fucking roll call out of the way... ]

We got a dress code, an' it is enforced. I catch ya lookin' shabby an' I'm gonna send somebody t'straighten ya out. [ Read: Beat ]

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, someone'll come by th'Shuten housing an' show ya as a group.

Shoes need t'be shined, we can show ya that too.

Give ya a week t'get it sorted, after that there's gonna be hell t'pay.



[[ 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 ]]
[[ also yes definitely threadjack away, go ham. ]]

A casual reminder that it doesn't need to be an 'ugly' pattern. Any 'ol patterned clothing works, and actually, the boss likes 'em.

Maji is just biased as shit. ♥

[no_kyouken]

Ya heard, Gojyo. He's th'expert.

[ King of ugly animal prints.... ]

Yahoo, everybody~! ☆

[ Mion casually waves with the biggest of grins. The camera on her end is a bit shaky, as she's someone from the 80s that hasn't exactly got a handle on things yet, but she'll learn. ]

Since we're introducing ourselves, I'm Sonozaki Mion -- just call me Mion, though; if we're gonna be a part of the same clan, we have to be on a first name business. Oh, unless it's for super formal things. [ But then her voice falls into a bit of a mumble: ] Well, unless sis shows up, because then having two Miss Sonozakis or Sonozaki-san might end up being real confusing...

But speaking of dress code, I suppose I have to ask the most important question of the hour: what is the best ugly pattern to wear? This old geezer's gotta know! There has to be some sort of like... "best to worst" chart on ugly patterns after all, right?

If you've spied about the shops in Shuten territory, you'll notice there's a preference for animal print. I hear that Oni in general liked to wear tiger hides.

[shrieking_violet]

Um, hi? Is this...

[ It's like right up her nose, hold on a sec while she pulls it further away. ]

Mion is it? I'm Chris. I don't... actually have a last name. Is that important? Am I - can I get one?

[ganashara]

[ Honestly, even if this was all routine... ]

It's good to see you back in the saddle, aniki.

[no_kyouken]

[ Geeze, don't embarrass him, kid. ]

Yeah, well... not much gonna keep me down.

Do any other clans have dress codes or are we just cops now?

[no_kyouken]

Wear th'fuckin' suit, Harry.

Text, UN: Gohan

[harimaya]

Do you see them wearing the same thing?

[Travis responds with video in turn, selfie-style. His hair is styled up in an obnoxious faux hawk, and his leather jacket is blood red with black tiger stripes. His t-shirt has a picture of an anime girl with comedically large breasts, and his aviators shade his eyes. He's relaxed, even exuberant. This shit is cool.]

Travis Touchdown.

Thanks for the tips but my personal style doesn't include collars.

text; un: threehorns

[ganashara]

It apparently doesn't include good taste, either.

[no_kyouken]

No one cares about yer personal style. Yer Shuten now.

[ He says this with all seriousness. ]

[metafictions]

[Kamui, who dressed near enough to the uniform even before he got here, is about to nudge Travis about the rules... only...]

Imagining you in a collared shirt really is kind of weird, Trav.

[THAT SAID--] What about something with a pattern? That might be all right.

[harimaya]

(He's taking notes...)

You have style?

[thefinalpower]

Hey, hey, hey! Why do we have to iron our things?!

[ Power's usual outfit kinda fits the dress code already... except she looks like she just rolled out of bed, her shirt is 99% wrinkles! ]

un; HotRedHeadsInURArea

[pervy_kappa]

Oy. Ain't that obvious? It's so that we don't look like lazy ugly shits in front of all the other clans.

Boss-man has a whole big thing about public appearance and what not it seems~

[frogmarched]

What sort of idiot doesn't know how to use an iron?

text; un: threehorns

[ganashara]

Not everyone comes from a place with iron pressing. But even then, some people are just inexperienced.

Or stupid.

text - un; imchris

[shrieking_violet]

i'm chris. i just got here. i can iron clothes but not very well and i don't know how to tie a tie or shine shoes. i also don't have any of it yet. should i just show up to ask for help?

text: enanan

[tracedfeelings]

i can help out with ironing
if you want it anyway

text: enanan

[tracedfeelings]

[ extremely important question, here. ]

can we at least wear hair accessories

[no_kyouken]

sure, go for it.

[If he was kind of hoping the dress code had been forgotten after everything, he doesn't show it.]

Good afternoon. If the recent trials have damaged your wardrobe, or you're new to the city and low on funds, don't forget that Shuten is sponsoring a clothes drive. It should be good for a set of clothes per person, so there's no need to break the bank while you're still getting situated.

voice, un: gohan

[harimaya]

(cursed clothes drive.........

Tiredly,)

Also got a bunch of free shit while talking to all the shops if anyone wants some of that.

[karumic]

What about weaponry?

text; un: threehorns

[ganashara]

There's an official clan armory at the Arena. You just need to sign stuff out. As a newbie, you really only have basic, cheaper stuff to use. If you want anything nicer, you'll need to pay for it.

un: lumine

[unalign]

[ ... there's a dress code? really? ]

And if one prefers dresses and skirts over slacks, is that going to be an issue?

[no_kyouken]

It's fine, just dress nice

voice, un: gohan

[harimaya]

Right.

Hizen Tadahiro, reporting.

Don't mind helping as long as it isn't stupid.

(THAT'S IT. THAT'S ALL HE SAYS except after a minute,)

... Where'd all these girls come from...

text, un: skylark

[inspiteful]

Is it really that strange that there are this many girls here?

video | un: beautythief

[empression]

My name is Okumura Haru. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, and I would like to extend my gratitude for your dedication to ensuring we're properly dressed.

I... may have to ask for assistance with learning how to tie a tie, if anyone would be willing to offer advice?

[ She bows politely. She does not look like she belongs here at all???? ]

[no_kyouken]

[ He lifts his chin in acknowledgement. ]

Can come down t'the housin' an' show ya. Ya ain't gotta wear one, but sometimes there's a funeral, an' we all gotta look right.

[ A shrug. Why a funeral? Uhm, because this is the yakuza. ]

[swordhardy]

I keep meaning to ask, can we go more traditional with our look? I like sandals better than shoes.

Hey out there, I’m Rokurou Rangetsu, at your service. I’m a swordsman, like a good fight, and a good drink.

Anyone out there up for either? I don’t discriminate who I fight against even if I use swords, you can fight however you want.

If it’s a drink, tell me what your favorites are. I’ve been getting to figure out the good taverns.

And if anyone likes a bit of competition, how about a drinking contest? We can even bet on it!

[unalign]

[ this isn't really an acceptance of the invitation to fight, but. ]

Where can someone get a sword around here? Other than the Armory, that is.
