Who: Fie Clausell & You!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On Meston or Wonderduck
When: May 6, early afternoon

[When the broadcast begins, Fie's expression appears troubled, like she's trying to figure something out. After a "hmmm" she finally speaks.]

So... that ball... [Another pause, where she tries to figure this out.]

I've been taking a lot of jobs since we got here, so money's not an issue right now. Going by myself is fine, I don't care about that. ... But how do I figure out what to wear? I've never done anything like this.

[She exhales through her nose, trying to relax somewhat.]

This feels weird. Guess I'm just asking for help with clothing. Thanks, if anyone does.

[About to turn the broadcast off, she stops.]

Oh, right, Jusis. Meet me on Meston, I've got something you'll like.

[And now we're done.]

Do you happen to know what they consider fashionable here? I've just arrived so I haven't had a chance to see many people or what they wear. That might be the first step in figuring out what to wear to event like that.

video?

[sylphid]

They're into black clothing with buckles and zippers and studs. It's weird.

yes!

[goldkiss]

Well, you could try to find something that matches your style but incorporates one of those fashion trends? Or! You could try on a few different things and see what looks best.

I don't know. Just find something you don't hate and wear it, I guess.

[Velvet doesn't have any experience with this, either. But she also isn't terribly worried about it. People in this system seem to like what she wears whether she cares or not.]

Video

[sylphid]

But I want to find something I like.

[Which has been a process, getting to this point.] And I don't know what'd be formal enough.

Video

[searingedgelord]

[Well, okay, it's fair to want something you like.]

I'm not sure about that, either, actually.

[She's never had to worry about formal attire before, so she hadn't really thought about it.]

[robitussin]

it said formal wear so just pick a really nice dress

[missing the point, probably, but.]

[sylphid]

it's not that easy for me

[robitussin]

well what kind of dresses do you feel more comfortable in

video! (action later.)

[Eleanor feels awkward seeking out her shipmate during the video post, but she's happy to reply with a genuine smile.]

I need to find something to wear, too. Would you like to look together?

[It's not entirely a lie, but Eleanor's really asking as a way to help Fie out.]

video

[sylphid]

[-!! Well that gets her attention. The response is quick and almost emphatic.]

Yes.

[humene]

[Eleanor smiles. It's always nice to have someone to shop with, and Fie seems like she'd appreciate the help.]

I'm glad to hear it. When do you want to go? We should be able to find some stores in the asteroid field.

Yes, I'll be there shortly.

[It's a short and curt video reply just so he's not keeping her in the dark. And certainly enough he's where she asked for them to meet. He doesn't want to keep her waiting, and also he doesn't want to waste time...]

action;

[sylphid]

[It's actually a nice area of a park they're meeting in, he should discover, once Fie sent him coordinates. He'll find her laying on a bench to the side, eyes closed, almost like...

Yep, she's napping. His approach doesn't seem to wake her, either. Just like old times.]

action;

[noblesce]

[He'll just be crossing his arms as he approaches her, looming over her.]

If you have time to nap, then you must have time to tell me what you wished to speak to me about.

[He doesn't really like his time being wasted.]

[She's crew so he feels it's his sacred duty to make sure she looks fabulous. ]

The fashion in this world is a little...strange, but I am sure we can find something to make you a real beauty on the dancefloor.

[sylphid]

[It's not like she's insecure or anything. She is honestly just about as clueless as someone can get in this scenario.]

You think so?

[servantnotserving]

[He's SO got this. ]

Of course! I'm happy to help you pick out something magnifique!

I don't think you can go wrong with something in black. That's what I'm planning to wear, anyway. [Although Shinji still doesn't understand why he received an invitation to the party in the first place...] It's a sleek color, and it doesn't attract too much attention, which is a good thing around strangers.

voice.

[sylphid]

It's common in fashion here. Maybe I'll go with that if nothing else works.

[And for all she knows, it won't.] Not a fan of strangers?

[astrobleme]

Black is easier to accessorize than all the other colors, too.

[...]

I'm not too comfortable around strangers, but I got this invitation, so... I don't want to let it go to waste.

[Chuuya remembers this face. It's weird to listen to someone so confused about what to wear at a ball, but he does realize not everyone can be Mr Embarrassing Fashion™ like him. Unless...!]

Is this another one of your tricks...?

video

[sylphid]

[And she remembers his.

... but he doesn't have to know that.]

Huh?

[prettyimpulsive]

Hello. [Greeting the unfamiliar girl.] I think I may have the opposite problem. [Euphie hasn't been in the fleet long and it didn't really occur to her to take a job.] I'm sure you'll look lovely in anything you like though.

[sylphid]

What problem?

[There are many here.]
