Shopping

[Anyone who knows Biffy will know that of course he is going to take advantage of the shopping that is available here. Not only does he need to be shopping for himself but he also needs to be shopping for a certain captain who signed his wardrobe away to him. (Minus pieces of sentimental value naturally.)

That means that he can easily be found in various shops looking through what is available. At times he can be seen with some nicely wrapped packages or with some bags. Never more than a few at a time though. He would never burden himself so utterly with an overflowing load of purchased items. He has far too much pride in his appearance for that obviously.

But this does mean he's quite easy to run into it. Feel free to do so. He's even willing to give recommendations for items for you to purchase.]


Theater

[It's been a little while since he's had the chance to properly go to the theater. This life doesn't appear to really allow for it. A shame really since he's terribly fond of it. He remembers going to plenty of shows years ago when he was but a drone. Supporting the other boys in their artistic endeavors. Even now he smiles fondly at the thought as he stands in the lobby waiting for the show to start.

Everyone knows that you don't go your seat immediately, after all. One must first mingle a little then find your seat just before the curtain rises. That way various fashions can be compared and admired. It's terribly obvious really.

More than likely he's brought someone he knows to the show with him. If not then feel free to run into him. He does love to socialize.]

Comments

[universal_charm]

True, but space is limited and I've always been more concerned with comfort and functionality.

_{[ He comes out of the dressing room in the new outfit, still fussing with the cuffs of the new shirt. ]}

[dandyofawolf]

[He will not roll his eyes. No he will not.

What he will do is come up to gently move Kirk's hands from the cuffs to adjust them himself.]

They're uncomfortable because they aren't sized correctly. That will be fixed in the final product, I assure you.

[With that, he steps back to study it and then reaches up to fix the collar.]

Not bad. The pants are all wrong though. Not your fault though. This is the cut. It doesn't do near enough to bring out your better qualities.

[He is very much talking about that backside he studies for a second before moving around to his front again.]

[universal_charm]

_{[ You could, Biffy. He's seen it many more times from many more people, probably more obviously and with more flare even. It's an art, some might say, aboard his ship. He let Biffy do the adjusting, knowing which of his battles to pick. ]}

Ah, I think I understand which qualities you mean now. Yes, those are quite important to make look their best.

_{[ He smirked at Biffy, turning his head to follow the other's progress around him. ]}

[dandyofawolf]

Of course they are. That is why I pointed out the matter.

[He says it so matter of factly that he might even be talking about the weather. It's just so obvious to him!]

Could you try on another pair of pants for me please?

[universal_charm]

Well since you asked nicely...

_{[ He went back in, keeping on the same shirt, and coming out in the third pair of pants Biffy had chosen for him. ]}

Well? How are these at amplifying my assets?

[dandyofawolf]

These are far better. You'll need a longer pair but that is no surprise.

[He smiles warmly as he nods.]

I will talk to the owner about having your outfits made while you change.

[A pause then...]

Do you like the feel and movement of the fabrics?

[universal_charm]

_{[ He did a few movements, striding across the shop, coming back, doing a few squats and jumping. The fabric didn't feel restrictive, though he did have questions about its durability given the usual shenanigans that happened to him on any given planet. ]}

The feel is fine, and movement seems all right. I'm more concerned with durability, but I suppose that will just have to be outright tested.

[dandyofawolf]

It will not last through everything but I can assure you the fabric is very durable. That is something I kept in mind when considering your needs.

[He knows what he's doing, Kirk. He's good at this.]

[universal_charm]

_{[ It was definitely strange. Definitely new. It wasn't... comfortable. Because it wasn't what he was used to. He looked in the mirror, and he wondered how... complacent he had possibly become. Five years in uniforms. Two years drifting in this place. His wardrobe had never been a concern, true, but maybe he did need this. Something like this. A way to start something new that was, to some degree, under his control. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad. ]}

So are you going to add styling services to your salon? Or am I just that special?

_{[ He cracked a smile in the mirror at Biffy - rolling up his cuffs as he said it. ]}

[dandyofawolf]

You are a friend, my dear captain. I am but a simple hair stylist.

[He gives an elegant sort of bow. (And tries to ignore the rolling up of the sleeves.)]

I will be right back. I just need to go give your measurements to the owner.

[universal_charm]

All right. I'll change then.

_{[ He went back into the room and switched back into his comfortable, familiar clothing. He glanced in the mirror and, all right, he could see what Biffy meant. Those other pants did show off his rear better. Not that these jeans didn't! Just... Biffy's choice did it better. Damn it. He stepped out, looking for the wolf and shifting when he came back over. ]}

Hey, Biffy... thanks. For doing this.

[dandyofawolf]

[Biffy is presently handing over the notes with the measurements on it. Of course he's already heard Kirk approach so he just looks over his shoulder at him.]

You can thank me by wearing the clothes.

[And he winks at him.]

[universal_charm]

Do you like the look of my assets that much?

_{[ He smirked back. ]}

[dandyofawolf]

My dear captain. I lived in a pack of werewolves which means that I saw more naked male flesh then you will perhaps see in your entire life. All very attractive and very nicely shaped. The only assets I have any interest these days are Lyall's. As lovely as yours are, they will never compare to his.

[universal_charm]

Well, I am very pleased you find my assets lovely.

_{[ He'll choose to take that away from the statement. As a statement of fact, of course, not anything else. ]}

[dandyofawolf]

[He looks amused.]

They are certainly satisfactory. I simply have my eyes set elsewhere.

[universal_charm]

It's true you might, but I do always appreciate an honest opinion.
