12/21: Mi-an & Justice

Also on AO3 | Index

“Hey, Mi-an, got a sec? Just gotta talk to ya ‘bout somethin’ real quick…” Justice rapped his knuckles on the wall of Mi-an’s house, the sound of which caused the builder to perk up her head from where she was assembling something on her workbench. She brightened at the sight of him.

“Oh! Hi, sheriff? How’re you doing?”

“Eh…doin’ fine. But uh, really, you got a moment?”

Mi-an set the doohickey in her hands down and got up from her chair. “Sure! What’s up?”

Justice leaned up against the wall, crossing his arms as a frown crossed his face. “Well…just the other day I saw some new benches in Martle Square…and it don’ like any permit got passed in for those…”

Mi-an’s eyes widened. “Oh? That’s news to me.”

The wrinkle in Justice’s brow only grew deeper. “…Granny Vivi was jus’ tellin’ me the other day what a lovely bench you an’ Wis put up so she could rest her feet on her daily constitutional.”

Instead of any ounce of guilt or shame, Mi-an’s expression lit up once again. “She’s using them? Oh, that’s great! Hopefully she won’t be so tired anymore… Tell her I said thank you the next time you see her!”

Oh, man. Justice had to resist the urge to groan. Out of all the unruly ruffians he’s had to wrangle in his entire career, these kinds—the technically harmless but still rule-violating ones—were the hardest to deal with.

“Listen…” Justice sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. “After Paradise Lost, I oughta be writin’ fines up for you for real now…”

Now that got Mi-an’s face to fall finally.  “Aw, come on, sheriff… I—”

“But!” Justice held up a finger. “If I do that, the next thing I’m gonna hear is Gran comin’ up to me goin’ ‘Maurice! Maurice! Why’d you make that Mi-an girl pay like she done somethin’ wrong?’”

“Yeah…I haven’t done anything wrong…! I just built a bench because I thought Vivi would need it…”

Justice was suddenly subjected to Mi-an’s pouty face. It was like Nemo had caught him giving some dried fish to Captain, running up to see if he could spare a poor, little doggy some jerky. He winced. What a tactic.

“So…I’ll jus’ write you out with another warning, okay? Now normally, I don’t do this. But you ain’t hurt anyone like this, so I ain’t one to punish you like you did.”

“Oh, thank you, sheriff. I just—”

“But on the other hand!” Justice butt in again. “What…what can I do to get you to jus’...fill out the forms, Mi-an?! It won’t take all day…”

“Maybe not, but you guys do…!” A spark was suddenly lit in Mi-an’s eye, and she stood up straighter. The cutesy act was entirely gone. “Last time I filled out a form to help repair the stairs around town, you guys almost took a week!”

“That’s cuz we were busy dealin’ with the Moisture Farm…”

The builder stood her ground. “All the Geeglers were gone by the end of that day! And Wis got the Hydrogel up faster than the Dance-Off could happen!”

“And we had to get the paperwork for that along first.”

“And then why’d it take 5 days to get the one for the stairs done?”

“Minister Matilda was busy—”

“Minister Matilda thanked me the other day for building those benches!”

Justice’s mouth snapped shut. He couldn’t badmouth the minister. Overly meticulous as she may be…

He sighed. “Well, if the minister ain’t gonna badmouth ya for it… Doesn’t feel like I can either. Jus’... I guess…” Light almighty, was he really gonna say this? “...Jus’ don’t do anythin’ that she won’t approve of.”

Mi-an blinked a few times blankly, but then the switch flipped, and happy Mi-an was back. “Of course! I don’t think the minister will fault me for spreading a little extra telesis around!”

“Eh-heh, yeah…” Justice chuckled sheepishly. “Jus’ make sure ya get your actual commissions done first, mmkay? Don’t think anyone wants all this extra stuff to eat up time for your regular job.”

“No problem!” Mi-an flashed him a salute. “I just make extra time for it! It’s no big deal!”

A part of him shifted. “…You sure? Don’ be runnin’ yourself ragged all day, every day…”

“Of course!” Mi-an exclaimed again. “I’m more than happy to do it!”

Justice stared at her for a moment, the lines and the slight discoloration under her eyes catching his attention. But he simply pursed his lips. “As long as make you happy, then… Be sure to take care of yourself, you hear? Can’t charge that as a crime, but that definitely ain’t good in my books either…with anyone!”

Mi-an’s head nodded up and down rapidly. “Mm-hmm! No worries!”

With one last blip of hesitation, Justice pushed himself off of Mi-an’s wall. “Alright, well…that’s all from me. You have a good day now, Mi-an.”

“You too, Justice!” Mi-an waved him goodbye as he turned around.

As he made his way down the street towards the tunnel, he let out an uneasy hum. He was already planning on making his way over to Wis’s workshop to ask about the benches, but now he had something more important to talk to her about…

Advent calendar ending

The advent calendar is done!

I'm glad that everyone liked it!

I wanted to post a little video showcase/WIP of how I did all the illustrations. First, I do the animation on Live2D. Basically, it's an app for the creation of vtuber model, so I will not recommend (well, yes, I highly recommend this app it's so good and useful) this app just for doing animation, since you have to learn all the basics of vtuber model + animation feature to be able to use it.

I really wanted to do more gifts, but every illustrations took me like... 10hours? Since I have to do the illustration on Ibisxpaint, with aaaaaaall the layers divided, then export in PSD format and do the art mesh of EVERY layers. Then set parameters to each part, then move everything on the animation board........

I'm far to be a pro on Live2D, but in additional to make gifts to people, it was a good opportunity to learn more about the app and practice!

I really have fun to make all these illustrations, and I'm glad that everyone liked it! I hope that I will be able to do this event another time (but maybe work on this during 2 months instead of 1 in advance)

I could finish the illustrations I didn't have the time to make, but I feel like I worked too much, since as you can see in this video, most of the time I was working for more than 6 hours without any break, because I wanted to make sure that everything will be set for the beginning of December. (And I only had the time to do 7 illustrations instead of my goal of 10)

Anyway, I like you everyone!
