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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Have you never attended any sort of formal event before? Or seen one on television?

[He's starting to wonder if she's much younger than he thought.]

Nope.

[Bro don't even ask about her life.]

Huh.

[He's actually unsure of where to go from here. Not that he's trying to help or anything. Please! Like he would ever!]

You must come from a strange place. If not that, then people aren't into socializing there.

They are. My circumstances prevented me from having the opportunity. But I didn't mind.

[It was like she was weirder with everything she said.]

What? Did you grow up locked away in a tower?

[That makes her perk up.]

Huh, that'd be interesting... I wonder if anyone here has.

What the hell does that have to do with anything?! Just answer the question like a normal person!

[Chuuya was convinced again that this girl is dense!]

Tell me how a normal person answers a weird question like that, and I'll consider it.

[And she looks like she's waiting patiently.]

It's not a weird question! With all the different worlds we got here, it's possible it's true for someone. But that's not the point!

[Wait a minute. Why is he even trying to explain this?!]

I don't know why I ask you anything!

Huh, you actually made a valid point. Good job.

[She gives him a thumbs up with a very deadpan expression... And still doesn't actually answer the question.]

You know what! I didn't care in the first place.

[Then why did he comment on anything?!?!]

I don't care if you end up going in a garbage bag. It would probably suit you best anyway!

Alright.

[Now she looks almost contemplative.]

Hm, maybe. It might count as high fashion somehow...

[There's a looooong pause, because what the hell, she's probably right.]

You know, I wouldn't put it past this place... From what I've seen on the asteroids, tacky seems to be what many go for.

In that case, I shouldn't steal their look.

[Sigh.] Any other ideas?

Yeah.

[He points to his eyes.]

Go to a clothing shop. Pick out the first thing that pleases your eyes. There you go. Done.

So why did you point to yours?

[After a moment, Fie just about smirks. Not sorry.]

Don't tell me you want to see how cute I'll look. That's pretty brazen of you.

[What the. Where does she come up with this stuff?! It really riles him up!]

Are you kidding me? Why would I care to see a kid like you in anything?! Don't flatter yourself!

Hm? Aren't you my age?

[Because he's so petite and adorably grumpy. Or something.]

I don't know your age! But you're childish, so I would guess that we're not the same age at all!

[Said as if he didn't know adults his age who were childish... He's not even taking into account how he looks.]

Yeah? How old are you?

[Nevermind his name.]

I'm 22-years-old! You know, old enough to own my own home and drink wine at any bar!

[Because that's important to include this conversation... in his opinion, anyway.]
