Nui Harime started a live video.
6/27 near Tisse

[Nui's room, where she happens to be sitting for this video recording, is very colorful. In fact, it looks like someone has spent some time meticulously recoloring everything in the space, from walls to furniture to decor. If you were looking for pink, it's back in style. Many shades of it. And they're all here, colored in with precision and artistry and fine craft.

Nui is leaning one elbow on her freshly-restored desk, chin in one hand. In the other, she twirls a sewing needle.]

So...fashion, huh? Everyone getting together to show off their talents just warms my little bleeding heart! But fashion isn't always so easy, you know! In fact, sometimes fashion is the cruelest monarch around! Sometimes, it's way more...cutthroat, yeah!

[She flicks the needle away, but somehow it ends up lodged in a strawberry-shaped pincushion anyway.] I~ have~ a~ challenge~ for you!

Given these four ingradients: [She holds up each as she announces it.] One! Two! Three! Ta-da!

You have to use them all! What article of clothing or fashion accessory do you make? You have 30 minutes! Iron seamstress! Let's go! The best idea or sketch gets a secret prize! Plus, if you come to the farmer's market, I'll give you a chance to make your project totally come to life, too!

It's clothes, not -- all that other deadly competition stuff you just said!

Clothes are a matter of life and death!

Think about it this way! Every time you step out your front door, it's like you're on a runway in front of millions of people waiting to be impressed by you!

Yeah! life is just like the runway!

Uh... you know that sounds the opposite of encouraging.

[She tilts her head to the side, single eye wide.]

How so? I'm basically saying that you're like a shining star every single day!

In my case, more like a comet about to wipe out the Earth. But... uh, you really like... clothes, huh?

It's a passion! I don't want to let anyone going through life not realizing the impact they could have! [She goes for the bright smile again.]

Jeez, I go out of my way to welcome you to your walk on the runway of life and all you do is talk yourself up! No wonder you're not satisfied with just being a star.

Wha -- huh? No, no, no way. That's not what I meant at all!

Yeah? So you DON'T think you're so important you don't just walk outside and get noticed, but that you actually are important enough to like, blow up the world or something?

Come on, spill the beans already! To me, it sounds like a big deal to you, too!

No, not at all! I just... you know, I'm bad at everything and I kinda tore the door off my gym locker?

Oh, is that all?

[There's a beat of silence here as Nui kind of does a double take, maybe even a genuine one.]

You did what now? Don't know your own strength, huh?Jeez, [she giggles,] who pissed you off so bad?

Nobody! I just have super strength and I mess up a lot! I swear that's it...
