Why'd You Kill the Merchant?!

[sansseraph]

Who: ALL O' Y'ALL
Broadcast: If you want
Action: FRICK YEAH PARTY AT THE JUNKYARD...I mean, Waystation. Junkstation.
When: 10/07 - Event End

It looks more like a junk heap than a waystation, but luckily there aren't any math fetishists to add you to the pile (hopefully). Talk to the scavengers and heed their warnings...if you want. Or perhaps you'll approach a shady individual for purchasing or selling stuff.

"Welcome, stranger!"

[please do not sink to the bottom aria that would be bad]

That's the way to do it, yeah! These look about your size, I think, so give it a go.

[She hands over a couple of examples and shoos her off to the changing room. Go, go! Enjoy! It's fashion show time!1]

[foxpas]

[that's my secret, ochako. i'm already at the bottom.

She accepts, and walks into the room, and there is rustling as she changes, but then she calls out from inside the changing room.]

... Are you sure these are meant to be worn over?

[willynilly]

Only when you're trying them on! It's for germs and stuff, since you don't know who's tried it on before you, and if you don't buy it someone else might try it after! We'll give whatever suits we pick a quick wash before we go swimming for real. So just try to imagine what it might look like by itself.

[foxpas]

... Erm. How do you get it on over them?

[willynilly]

Huh? You usually just pull it...

[Maybe she has really complicated underwear? Or could her tail be in the way??]

Do you need some help?

[foxpas]

If you are willing, I believe it may be necessary...

[willynilly]

O-okay... um... coming in, then!

[She waits a second or two in case Aria wants to protest, then cracks open the door just enough to squeeze inside.]

[foxpas]

Ah, hello.

[... yeah, so, turns out, her underwear is a full corset. one that looks like it could probably stop a knife. that may be the source of her trouble.]

[willynilly]

[.......oh

OH DEAR]

Um... um... d-do you have anything on... under that...?

[She. does not know how to handle this.]

[foxpas]

[welcome to medieval bullshit]

Eh? Of course not.

[willynilly]

[well

shit]

...I... guess you can't wear underwear beneath it, then.

[awkward.]

[foxpas]

... I suppose I could, but it would rather pointless, would it not?

[at least she doesn't seem terribly bothered by this?]

[willynilly]

...Ahaha...

[Maybe it's a cultural thing. Ochako's cheeks are a bit more pink than usual as she shrugs.]

W-well, just try it without anything else on, and see how that feels! I'll just, um-

[Backing up towards the door now, whoops. Talk about a whole lot of unhelpful.]

[foxpas]

Ah, a moment. Are you well?

[leaning forward to put a hand on Ochako's forehead...]

[willynilly]

[That just makes Ochako burn more brightly, and she hastily waves her hands and backs up.]

No, no, I'm fine! Thank you! I'm just looking forward to you finding the right one!

[She hastily escapes, shutting the change room door behind herself. Goodness, has Aria never made her girlfriends blush before?]

[foxpas]

[One of her girlfriends has scales on her face and the other is a tsundere who blushes at the drop of a hat.

It's very, very difficult to judge on that.]

As you wish... I will be out soon, then.

[At least you're being allowed to escape this time.]

[willynilly]

[THANK GOD

Ochako hastily scampers back to the racks - which is thankfully within eyesight - to find herself a suit while she waits. There are so many cute options...!]

[foxpas]

Ochako? Is this right?

[She's stepping out in the first bikini Ochako picked out and going to find her, and, well.

First of all, she's absolutely fucking ripped. Second, she's covered in scars.

She is in fact managing to wear the bikini right, at least? And she makes it work.]

[willynilly]

Ohhh...

[The exclamation is automatic; she's never seen anyone with that many scars. Aria must have lived a hard life. Muscles are nothing new to her, considering where she comes from, though this is the first time in a while she's seen them so pronounced on a girl. With how strong Aria is, though, it's not a surprise.

She shakes it off pretty quickly, either way- claps her hands together and beams, utterly delighted.]

Ahhh, you look great! That's super cute on you! Is it comfortable?

[foxpas]

Eh- Ah- Um- Thank you?

[she's turning red herself, now, she's not used to being called cute...]

I am not... I mean, I think I will adjust, and... If you think so highly of it, then I will be fine, really.

[willynilly]

Are you sure? You can try on a different one if you don't like it!

[She has like five hanging off her arm to try on. She'll feel pretty silly being the only one, but whatever Aria's happy with...]

[foxpas]

I- I suppose it is best to try as many as possible.

[She's not usually the type to be concerned about fashion, she just grabs something and goes. But on the other hand, Ochako's thrown her off with that cute comment, and now she's flustered, and is just going to go along with her suggestions.]

[willynilly]

Um... umm... oh!

[Ochako returns to the rack, fishing through for another minute, then returns with a second bundle, handing it to Aria.]

Here! These are all suits that will probably fit you just fine. Why not see if there's some you like, and try them on for yourself. I'll be in the next stall doing the same thing, and when we both find the suit we like, we'll come out and surprise each other! How's that sound?

[foxpas]

Very well. ... And, thank you for accommodating my lack of knowledge of this.

[She gives a big, grateful grin, before taking the swimsuits and disappearing into the changing room.]

[willynilly]

I'm happy to help!

[Yaaaay, small crisis averted. She vanishes into her own dressing room, testing each suit on one by one until she's finally satisfied with what she sees in the mirror.

It's a few minutes after they begin that she knocks lightly on the wall, calling out.]

Okay, I'm ready whenever you are!
