Kanoko's pacing was extremely careful as she worked away at the plastic, making sure to file the nubs away completely and leaving bare plastic which she wiped clean with a brush. Maybe she was a bit too overdressed, judging by the way the others were clothed. Beads of sweat were already on her forehead as she worked at her Hi-Nu kit, and she bit her lip a little. The damn collar was so itchy! "Ha, so you all have much more experience than I do with Gunpla Battling as a whole. I've mostly just made dioramas and extensive kit modifications. Competing in an event was fun though, and seeing my models come to life was even better."

The broad girl looked over at Yumi, whistling a little as she went after another sprue for her parts. "Really? I mean, I can see the Rabbit bit, but you know what they say. Big things in small packages, and I try to never underestimate someone on looks alone. I already got shown up a little in a competition, heh! Nice to meet you all."

As she continued to whittle away at the model, making sure to get the fit exactly right, the collar felt a bit tighter and her face burned. Was it just her, or was it a bit warm? IT was making it hard to concentrate. Water wasn't helping her situation at all, and simply reminded her of how constricted she felt. Looking at the others at the table, building their own kits, Kanoko realized how much more comfortable they were in normal wear, the next bead of sweat rolling down her cheek and tucking neatly into her collar. The burning itch and sweltering restriction broke her concentration, and she reached up before snapping the top buttons of her shirt, ripping the tie's simple knot in one motion and taking a deep breath of relief. "There wasn't a formal dresscode for this, was there? I got dressed up for no reason."
