[Forrest is even more dressed up than usual today, rocking a sweet lolita outfit on the advice of his good friend and fellow fashion buff, Speed of Sound Sonic.  He seems to be in an exceedingly good mood, judging from the smile on his face and the way his curls have that extra little bounce to them today.]

Hello, everyone!  For those of you I haven't met, my name is Forrest, and my passion is making beautiful clothing.  Since it seems like I'll be staying here in Takamagahara for a while, I thought I would offer my services to the other gods and their shinki.  And so, I'm proud to announce the grand opening of my clothing shop and beauty salon, Heavenly Couture!

[Forrest gives a little twirl in front of the camera, pulling on something just out of frame.  A banner unfurls behind him, sporting the name of the business in colorful and fancy hand-drawn letters.]

My first commission is already spoken for, but as of today, I'm officially taking requests.  Prices are negotiable based on the complexity and necessary materials, and I promise to work closely with every client to make sure you're completely satisfied.  I also offer hair, nail, and skin treatments here at Lakshmi's temple for anyone looking for that little extra touch.

[Smiling sweetly, he laces his fingers together and bows his head to the camera.]

I look forward to seeing you all soon!

It's crazy how big it is there's a lot to learn.

[clothes_make_the_man]

I've never seen anything like it before. It's so much bigger than any town or city from my own world.

[dragon_blossom]

Oh? What were those like?

[clothes_make_the_man]

My world is what the people of Tokyo would refer to as 'medieval,' based on what I've read. Most towns are small, with the larger cities generally built around castles.

[dragon_blossom]

Oooo castles and princesses and magic and stuff?

[clothes_make_the_man]

Yes, all of those things. It's an everyday part of life for me, but I gather for the people living here a setting like that is more of a fairy tale.

[dragon_blossom]

It really is! That's pretty cool how everyone comes from so many different kinds of places.

Worlds?

Something like that?

[clothes_make_the_man]

That's the most common word I've heard people using since coming here.

[dragon_blossom]

I guess they'd know. Maybe.

[clothes_make_the_man]

It makes sense to me. How else would so many drastically different places and cultures exist all at once?

[dragon_blossom]

I guess that's the only way the world is big but there are limits.

[clothes_make_the_man]

Right now, though, I think it's the most important that we get to know this world better.

[Especially since he knows she's a shinki, so he's trying to steer the conversation away from their own worlds for her own benefit.]

[dragon_blossom]

Seems like it'll take a while anyways.

[ Good new friend. ]

[clothes_make_the_man]

Well, we have plenty of time, from what it sounds like.

[dragon_blossom]

I've only got forever.

[clothes_make_the_man]

That's one way to look at it.

[dragon_blossom]

Too morbid?

[clothes_make_the_man]

Well, you're not wrong...

[dragon_blossom]

Trying to look on the bright side of death.

[clothes_make_the_man]

I suppose it's better than dwelling on it.
