A child with long silver hair and clothes covered in highly visible stitches walks into a room and sits down with his legs crossed.
His expression is one of casual disinterest, though the dark blue arming sword trimmed with black and gold strapped to his back, with it's pommel ending in a face-shaped decoration, might draw some interest.
"Hi. So, I'm Dollstop and the old man said I should make an ask thread to-"
Suddenly a voice interrupted, and the face-decoration's mouth moved with it.
"HEY! I'm not old you brat! Honestly, you can be so rude. moments like this are exactly why you need to work on your social skills!"
"...'kay then. Please ask any questions you have, n' I'll try my best to answer."

"But but-" "We travel a lot, so he doesn't have very many clothes. The dress was from a job involving a lollicon poltergeist. we've both tried to tailor it into something else since then but you can only do so much-" *sniffle* "YOU PROMISED I'D NEVER HAVE TO WEAR IT AGAIN!!"  |

"Hey, stop being so hidebound to gender roles. Studies indicate that it's psychologically more healthy to be more flexible in this regard."
"In short, it's better for you to accept it. Understand?"

The boy looked confused by the very idea.
"I....I dunno. I never thought about it before, really. Never had more than one or two sets of clothes. But...Dr.Stein says labcoats are nice. They're swishy and cool and they have lots of pockets, even if they don't come in kid size."

"You can wear a labcoat over female clothes, and get them in child size! Just look at this girl!" -Picture!- |

"I fail to see how a choice in underwear is going to negatively impact the ability to have children when one female present really, really likes that."
"Anyway, why are you called Dollstop?"

Dollstop just looked between Ciaran and Rain in confusion for a while before moving on.
"Umm...the job is kinda mixed up. We fight all kinds of monsters a lot. Almost every day. But sometimes we rescue people or do detective stuff. Sometimes we protect stuff or catch bad guys or pick up packages but the packages are super important. Oh, and sometimes we take people from one place to another, sometimes between worlds. I always hate when we do that."
The sword answered Rain's question
"When I first took him in I had no idea what to name him. So I called him Doorstop to begin with as a joke, like a Doorstop Baby. But when he got old enough to talk he had this kind of cutesy lisp, and it was easier for him to say Dollstop. After that it just stuck. I tried giving him another name but he'd get mixed up in battles so it was simpler this way."

Which August are you?

"The August from S1 who gets Demon Weapon powers and goes on to wander the Multiverse during the timeskip. I pay the bills by doing a sort of wandering "hero-for-hire: We help the helpless" thing. It's an interesting life.
I'm not the original Imperium August somehow risen up from nothingness if that's what you mean."

"You can have just as much of an effect by drinking alcohol, as can taking a bath for a long period of time. That's also a minimal effect unless you're infertile in the first place. And, honestly, is that the best reason to give to a child? 'Change your clothing so you can make babies'?"
"If you do want to listen to this guy's reasoning, Dollstop, the best thing to do is to wear no underwear and dresses, skirts, and kilts."

"Hey! There's nothing wrong with my ability to do that sort of thing! At least...I assume there isn't...I haven't really...Why ARE you using that as your reasoning when you're talking to a child?"
"Anyway, umm...August, what's it like turning into a weapon? Seems like it'd feel kinda weird."

"Yes, Dolly, be our friend! We have an entire mountain of meringue! Isn't that cool? Also stay away from that crazy guy with the ideals of a neanderthal."

"Um...I like swords a lot! But...Master won't let me even touch any of his swords. He says using a normal sword is harder than being a Meister and even worse if the sword is magic so I never get to use any normal swords."
"Being a Weapon actually hasn't been that weird since I learned to transform properly. It sort of turns into a natural extension of yourself. I still have the swords too, they just fuse into the sword form like the rest of my clothing and things."
"Master always told me I shouldn't be friends with strangers that try to give me sweets and pet names or say scary stuff about making babies."

"Wait! wait wait wait wait!!! You mean there are worlds with mountains made of sugary stuff?!! WHY DON'T WE GO THERE!!!?? Why do we always go to worlds full of monsters and criminals and badtouch ghosts!!??"
"Well, there's no real need for hero-ing on vacation worlds and one of the reasons we've been working so hard is to earn enough money to actually visit one."

"Entrance is cheap for the adventurer part, and if you successfully clear the dungeon you get a choice of prizes. One's a weekend staying by Mount Pavlova, I think. Right, Moe?"
