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.]

Comments

So come up with a back up plan, too.

[goldkiss]

Make friends with a tailor?

You don't happen to know one, do you?

[His smile makes it hard to tell if he's entirely serious about this, but he is still pretty friendly.]

[sylphid]

If I do, I'm not aware of it.

[Which is actually the truth.]

[goldkiss]

I can't imagine it's a very popular profession in space. They probably have some kind of fancy polymer material that doesn't take to a thread and needle.

[sylphid]

That's just too complicated to think about.

[She looks tired even considering that.]

[goldkiss]

I agree. Fashion can get pretty complicated

[sylphid]

[Well, that, too.]

It can. It's why I don't worry about it.

[goldkiss]

And then a formal event appears and surprises you into thinking about it. At least you have people here who can help!

[sylphid]

Hm, that's true.

[...]

If you can't charm someone into getting you one, I'll loan you money to rent a suit or however that works.

[goldkiss]

Oh! You would?! That's so generous of you. Thank you.

[sylphid]

Only if you can't get one. At least try.

[goldkiss]

Of course! I wouldn't want to burden you unnecessarily.

[sylphid]

Good. Let me know by Thursday afternoon.
