[ For those who may frequently keep an eye on the network, this will be a new face outside of Cinder. Gintoki plain does not use the network. But he has a couple of important announcements, and so he is here.

It takes a couple of seconds after the video turns on for him to decide that he got it right and the recording has started. Then he fiddles with the phone for another few seconds to get it into a decent position against the comic book he's laid on the table, his scowl slowly deepening until he finally leans back on the couch with a scoff. ]

Don't understand what's wrong with phones with buttons and good ol' video cameras.

[ Clearly muttered to himself, but audible.

Finally, he presses a curled fist up against his mouth and clears his throat. As his hand lowers, he puts on a somewhat disturbing smile as he reaches across the couch to pick up a bag of Special Flavor Coffee Beans. He makes a show of holding it up in front of the camera like he's in an advertisement or the TV shop or something, and speaks with a clearly fake enthusiasm that anyone who knows him would know is sort of uncharacteristic. ]

Miss out on getting your own bag of Special Flavour Coffee Beans at the charity auction? I've got a bag right here and I'm willing to part with it to the highest bidder! The bidding starts at a thousand Moon Coins.

[ I beg your deepest pardon. Don't they just sell that coffee at Moondrop anyway? Honestly, he doesn't know.

And then he just tosses the bag onto the couch like it's not precious. As he keeps talking, his voice settles into his usual lackadaisical drawl. ]

I'm also looking for a tailor. More exactly, someone who can tailor kimonos. See this?

[ He holds up his arm to fully show the blue cloud-like pattern at the end of the sleeve of his kimono. ]

This is a custom pattern fit for a protagonist. I got thrown into this place with just one of these kimonos, and that's unacceptable. I can't go around wearing plain yukatas most days of the week, I need my kimono!

[ Oh, suddenly the passion is back in his voice. It sounds way more real than his ridiculous coffee bean advert voice. He suddenly leans his head back against the backrest of the couch, covering his face with one hand. ]

I'm an embarrassment to my kind!

[ After a second or so, he seems to compose himself, lifting his head again to stare blankly into the camera. ]

And I could use a couple of haoris too. Oh, and you should give me some of them for free, 'cause it's my birthday. Everybody say happy birthday to Gin-san. I accept cakes, parfaits and chocolate.

[ Didn't even properly introduce himself, the nerve. He just leans forward and clicks post, or however it works. ]
