well its pretty easy and its good to have something to do with my hands plus then i can trade them which is useful when you're tired and don't feel like doing physical shit for people but who knows maybe ill expand to necklaces open a whole jewelry line you gonna be my first customer?
really though this is sort of what i was already planning with kakyoin anyway ages and AGES ago but we were going to use emeralds as a form of currency since there isn't one here, and use jewelry-making as a front while we got started it all fell off because things got so dramatic but see, jewelry is so versatile kakyoin showed me all sorts of different shapes he can make too!
he's pretty damn good with it i mean i knew that from home but he showed me how well he could do it for jewelry too he made me my own set of emerald earrings actually
anyway that's smart, that currency thing for a lot of reasons i was trying to explain quality of wine to bruno and i said "don't get anything over $25" but there's no money so how do you judge what kind of bottle you're getting? i think you'd have to make sure there'd be enough though i mean we're a tiny city but there's still about a hundred of us you'd need a lot of emeralds
kakyoin is so good and beautiful he's the greatest
that's what's taking me so long with it really you'd need a lot of emeralds but also if you have too many the value depreciates economies are delicate things, especially starting one from scratch
[...................]
you should make bruno barrettes out of them you know the emeralds
i think so i really don't know where he gets them here but i never see him buy them and he wears them EVERY DAY so honestly it's a good idea if i say so myself besides which i don't think barrettes are awfully hard to make you just stick the jewels onto the flat metal part you don't have to weld anything or whatnot you CAN but you don't have to
also it's worth noting that bruno mostly just wears black and white which means any color goes with his outfits really
mostly you! polnareff featuring kakyoin, not the other way around
he'd look cute with different colored barrettes in his hair you know jotaro wears dark colors all the time and so does bruno but it looks so different on both of them? still they should wear colors more colors are so good
you still haven't told me why you tried that, you know, with the makeup, and you don't have to but you can. speaking of colors.
i need to start making clothes again . . . hmm an emerald-accented suit to go with the emerald barrettes right? i could probably finish that by september
[He likes the way Giorno phrases that. You don't have to, but you can-- casually slipped in between chatter, so he can take it or leave it without there being this big awkward pause. He doesn't know if that's deliberate, but he suspects it is.
It's still a little nervewracking to talk about. But he'd texted it to Giorno for a reason, so why back out now?]
well we were talking about it i mean a lot of stuff
["Rolf stuff", he almost says, but one crisis at a time.]
well anyway makeup came up too and he was talking about how it felt and i said "well, show me" so he did eyeliner isn't so bad i mean i dont think im gonna wear it but it was interesting
. . . you might have put too much on or maybe i just don't notice it anymore i like to be aware of how my mouth moves anyway, it's important in making sure my face is doing the right things
anyway it does make sense you never really thought about it so why look? i looked because i always looked at everyone all the time just in case that's why i got curious

JEWELRY WILL DO IT
what a wonderful papa
kakyoin owes me a tiara i forgot until just now
earrings are good until he makes it though
are you just making earrings now!
no subject
and its good to have something to do with my hands
plus then i can trade them which is useful when you're tired and don't feel like doing physical shit for people
but who knows maybe ill expand to necklaces
open a whole jewelry line
you gonna be my first customer?
no subject
COMMERCE
CAPITALISM
WHAT A GIFT
really though this is sort of what i was already planning with kakyoin anyway

[...................]
you should make bruno barrettes out of them you know
the emeralds
no subject
yeah? you think he's like them?
they might be disasters ive never made barrettes
but i mean i bet he needs more
one set can only last so long
no subject
i really don't know where he gets them here but i never see him buy them and he wears them EVERY DAY so honestly it's a good idea if i say so myself
besides which i don't think barrettes are awfully hard to make
you just stick the jewels onto the flat metal part
you don't have to weld anything or whatnot
you CAN but you don't have to
also it's worth noting that bruno mostly just wears black and white which means any color goes with his outfits really
no subject
anyway i'll try it
if you see him with emerald barrettes you'll know it's all thanks to me
and kakyoin a little
but mostly me
no subject
he'd look cute with different colored barrettes in his hair
you know jotaro wears dark colors all the time and so does bruno but it looks so different on both of them?
still they should wear colors more
colors are so good
you still haven't told me why you tried that, you know, with the makeup, and you don't have to but you can. speaking of colors.
i need to start making clothes again . . . hmm

It's still a little nervewracking to talk about. But he'd texted it to Giorno for a reason, so why back out now?]
well
we were talking about it
i mean
a lot of stuff
["Rolf stuff", he almost says, but one crisis at a time.]
well anyway
makeup came up too
and he was talking about how it felt and i said "well, show me"
so he did
eyeliner isn't so bad
i mean i dont think im gonna wear it but
it was interesting
no subject
it's fun to just play with even if you don't wear it all the time
that's how i started, i was really just playing around with things
eyeliner can feel a little heavy before you get used to it, i think
so i don't use much
except when i do
lips are better
no subject
not heavier
stickier
i dont know i was more aware of lips then eyes
at least eyeliner isn't wet
no subject
or maybe i just don't notice it anymore
i like to be aware of how my mouth moves anyway, it's important in making sure my face is doing the right things
no subject
it could be either
neither of us knew what the hell we were doing
how often do you wear it?
lipstick or whatever i mean not makeup in general
[It's not that he's so blind that he doesn't see when Giorno wears makeup-- but he's looking at it in a whole new light.]
no subject
i don't usually wear foundation of anything like that because i don't need to
[#blessed #thanksaraki #statueofdavid #michelangelohmygod]
lips more often than eyes so. probably almost every day. i don't know i just wear it when i feel like wearing it?
no subject
i dont know i never really noticed but i dont usually
look
if that makes sense
its gotta be better than jotaro's though
no subject
he's trying his best
anyway it does make sense
you never really thought about it so why look?
i looked because i always looked at everyone all the time just in case
that's why i got curious
no subject
later
if you want
since you actually know what youre doing
no subject
but i don't have as steady a hand as star platinum you know
no subject
no subject
no subject

no subject

i will definitely do that whenever you want me to
no subject
