Good afternoon ☆ Your local Tsukasa Suzakura has a simple request for the artists of Retrospec...

I'd like a poster encouraging people to vote for the return of horses... I'll pay, of course ♪ Hard work should not go unrewarded.
Serious inquiries only. People who are fans of horses preferred, but not required.
Thank you for your cooperation ☆

Otherwise... I have a game I'd like to share with everyone. It's called renga -- essentially, one person begins a poem, and the other person finishes it.
We'll be using the usual format of 5-7-5 / 7-7 for this. The first person will do 5-7-5, and the second will do 7-7. (Those are syllables, for the record.)
Reply with a beginning to this post if you're interested in playing! Others are encouraged to reply around as well to finish poems and start new ones when it's their turn to do so.
I will be indulging myself as well, of course ♪

[ ooc: ...he's seriously willing to pay for horses— ANYWAY, just as stated, renga is a collaborative poetry game! trust me it doesn't matter how bad you are at writing this stuff i am just as terrible. tag around and finish each other's poems, or make fun of them, or whatever— it's a free-for-all. ]

Yeah, definitely do! Just ask for Izumi, I'm there most days after school

Uh, I have digital commission and sketch prices
But nobody's ever asked me for something like this, soooo
Whatever you think is good!

[ ...umm, then to be fair... ]

$100?

[ HE OFFERED MINATO THE SAME SO ]

[akatatai]

Wait wait wait
Are you sure that isn't too much?!
It seems like a lot for something like this!

[stressweets]

That's what I offered the other artist, so... yes?
It's going towards a good cause too, so I don't really mind. I got my Christmas shopping out of the way already too.
It's sort of a drain on my wallet, but I'd rather raise awareness for horses than sit on my hands.

I'd feel bad if you didn't cut it down at least a little bit
Unless you want to include the fee of printing posters in that cost
Then I'd feel a little less guilty...

[ izumi 2 good 2 pure for this earth ]

Then yes, it's including the printing fee.

[akatatai]

Um
Ummmmm
Ummmmmmmmmm

[akatatai]

Okay okay I'm just going to say yes!
And then if you decide it's too much you can ask for some back
How does that sound?

[THIS IS NOT HOW COMMISSIONS WORK????]

[stressweets]

[ THIS IS NOT HOW COMMISSIONS WORK??? ACTUALLY HE HAS NEVER COMMISSIONED SOMEONE SO MAYBE THIS... IS... HOW THEY WORK............ ]

Um, sure, but I really don't think it's too much at all? You're going to be putting a lot of work into it, right? So...?

[akatatai]

[Izumi's the one who actually does commissions AND KNOWS THAT THIS ISN'T HOW THEY WORK.... B O Y.]

As long as you're really really really sure
I'll do the best job I possibly can, you can count on it!
Once I finish the sketches, I'll send them your way and see what you think, okay?

[ B O Y ]

Okay!
I'll be looking forward to it ♪
