Who: Rin Matsuoka (jawdacity) & Kashuu Kiyomitsu (adornmental)
When: Backdated to a day after Rin's broadcast
Where: Some kitschy restaurant in the shopping district
What: It's a nonstop fashion partytrain
Rating/Warning: N/A
[Kashuu is pretty excited for today, in all honesty! The novelty of just being able to leave his apartment and go out and meet new people for any reason he can think of hasn't worn off yet even months later, and being able to meet someone with similar interests is even better. He's gone through extra pains to make himself presentable today (which is pretty impressive since it already takes him a good couple of hours every morning to get ready for the day), and he's made sure to pick the cutest possible restaurant with the best food.
A table is already reserved within, but Kashuu waits outside instead, since he's both A) an antsy, impatient 5 year old at heart and B) knows it might be hard to spot their seat from the front door...
It also means he can greet his new acquaintance in a more boisterous way, which is exactly what he does as soon as he's spotted! Kashuu is a Very Friendly Person, so he wastes no time in bounding right over, all bright smiles and (probably a little too much) energy (but that's the fire element's fault).]
Hey! Matsuoka Rin, right?

Hey! Matsuoka Rin, right?
no subject
kashuu had seemed pleasant enough via text, if a little over-enthusiastic. like some odd hyper-fashionable amalgamation of both ai and momo.
god, perish the thought.
he shows up in a red shirt, as promised, his hair still damp from the quick dip in the pool he'd taken earlier. it isn't open to the public yet, but there are perks to being a member of the reconstruction crew.
he's holding a manila folder under one arm; the glossy sheen of photographs can be seen about the edges. rin, as always, has come to this meeting fully prepared. ]
Yo, Kashuu.
[ the kid is cute in an irrepressible sort of way, even if the haircut is a little 18th century. rin puts a bracing hand on his shoulder, shooting him a bemused look. ]
You got a pogo stick hiding somewhere in there, or what?
[ he'd bounded over like a puppy, for god's sake. ]
no subject
You think I can hide a pogo stick in these?
[No baggy pants here, no sir!!
...Though there is something that looks like a holster around his waist. Not for a gun, but for a sword - one that's leaning against the wall of the building, well within eyeshot and definitely within Kashuu's reach before he trotted on over. It seems he doesn't want to leave it there for long though, or maybe he's just excited to get the afternoon rolling, since he turns on his heel soon after and moves to pick it back up. He'll hold the door open like a proper gentleman, at least! A weapon-toting gentleman, but there are a bunch of weirdos in Cerealia...]
I already got a table for us and set some stuff up there. Looks like you're ready too, huh?
[A nod toward the manila folder. That makes it seem even more official! This is so exciting.]
no subject
surprising that a kid like this one knows how to use a sword like that, though. he doesn't have to see the blade, doesn't need any background knowledge about japanese swords, to know that it's a pretty piece. one might even say — a sharper equivalent of kashuu himself.
well, haru had mentioned that many of his tsukumogami were around here. it wouldn't be a stretch.
either way, it's not something that needs immediate answering now, so rin shelves the questions in favor of following kashuu to their table. it's a pretty little restaurant, bright and ornate. kashuu fits easily into it. ]
Yeah. All set.
[ he's catalogued his choices according to formality first and color second, so they can quickly go through and decide what works and what doesn't. ]
You want to order first? I'll cover you.
[ he'd thought that this might wear on his patience, but a few minutes in and he's already liking this kid. it's hard not to — he's like a less devious version of nagisa. ]
no subject
But!! He'll pat that side of the table, since he's kept it clear of cutlery, water glasses and napkins. That can be the work side...]
Here, here! You can put it over here and we'll take a look after we order.
[Nudging a menu his way, too! The fare is probably not too far off from expectations; it's actually a lot of comfort, homey-type foods, but with some elegant and classy twists. Five cheese mac n' cheese with truffle oil, things like that. He's a simple peanut at heart.
The offer seems to catch him a little off guard though, and he looks up, mildly surprised.]
Huh? You will?
no subject
plus, they have a lunchtime play on steak, which is just fine for rin's protein-heavy athlete's diet. ]
Yeah, yeah. Don't look so surprised.
[ it's gruff, too gruff, but "kindness" doesn't fit too well with the whole bad-boy aesthetic that rin has going on. he puts in his own order (steak, ice water, nix the potatoes) and waits for kashuu to do the same.
in the meantime, rin hands over his own menu and starts flickering through the photographs he'd brought, moving aside the table's centerpiece to that they have room to work. ]
no subject
But Kashuu's look of mild surprise shifts to a bright smile after hearing that, because of course it does. It's his job to make life a little harder for people with bad-boy aesthetics.]
That's super nice! I'll cover the next one, 'kay?
[Just automatically assuming this will happen again, okay Kashuu... He'll put in his order too (a mini pot-pie and tea; he makes a remark about how they cut a heart into the crust and that it's the cutest thing on the menu for sure) and then turns his attention to the photographs after handing his menu over, too.]
O-kaaay, let's get started! Are you like, some kinda personal stylist for Akane?
no subject
moving on.
he shrugs off kashuu's offer to pay for their next meeting, more interested in reaching for a pad and pen. when the question is posed to him, though -- ]
Wow. No.
[ even though she could probably use one, given that awful bowlcut that she wears ... ]
Didn't I explain this? [ apparently not well enough. or apparently not at all. ] Well -- whatever. She works as some kind of fashion consultant. Here, pull out your Cerevice, I'll show you.
[ rin will take kashuu's device when it's offered to him, spend a few moments swiping through screens, until he ends up on this post. ]
Just thought her suggestions were kind of... tame. Thought we could put together something better for her. You think you're up for it?
no subject
But!! He'll take the device back and look the post over, nodding to himself.]
Ooh, okay! I see, I see. [He'd just automatically assumed that "consulting job for Akane" had meant that Akane was the one who needed help with her wardrobe... POOR AKANE. All this time he's just assumed she's been incapable of dressing herself.]
Wow! The stuff she picked out for girls is way cute! [He'd probably wear some of these things, honestly... Those cardigans and boots are excellent.] But yeah, the men's stuff could use a little variety. I think we can put some good things together... We could prooobably think up some more stuff for the women, too.
no subject
kashuu, hopefully your fashion sense is a little less flashy than rin's. ]
Yeah. I don't know much about the girls' stuff, but you and Akane can work that you.
[ and he starts picking through his folder, laying a few choice pieces flat. ]
Anyway - let's start with the mens' choices. She said pastel for this month, so I figured these are a good start.
[ for your viewing pleasure: this, this, just the green outfit, just the middle outfit, first & fourth outfit, just the third outfit, and this. ]
Obviously mixed up casual and formal, but - for the younger demographic - these should work.
[ there's something very defensive about the way he pushes the images forward. he's never done this before, alright. ]
no subject
Will do! [With a little mock salute and everything! He's quite excited about that, honestly. Cutesy things are more his bag than real high fashion, so this is truly the area where he'll be able to Shine. But he'll lean forward, arms crossing in front of him on the table, and look over the selections.]
Hmmm... [HMMM... Picking some of them up and looking them over!! Staring at them with a critical eye! ...And eventually smiling.] Not bad, not bad! That patterned sweater is waaay cute, too. But hey, d'you really like green?
[THERE'S A LOT OF GREEN HERE.]
no subject
Not really. But March is for St. Patrick's Day; I thought it might be better to stick to a color.
[ now he's feeling self-conscious. swimming competitively is so much easier than this shit, god, why did he sign up for this again? ]
We can nix the idea if it's too much.
[ he's trying to sound unaffected and professional about it, but he'd put his heart and soul into finding those pictures! he'd thought the st-patrick's theme was a good one!
well. kashuu's already proven that he knows more about fashion than rin does; he'll take the blows as they come. ]
no subject
Huuuh... I've never heard of that before. What is it?
[He doesn't seem self-conscious about not being in the know, though... He's had to ask about even simpler things before. Like dish soap packets; that had been an adventure.]
I don't think it's too much, anyway! Green's not my favorite color, but it's a shade that looks good on a lot of people, I think. It's like, nice and neutral-ish without being super boring or gloomy like blue can be, yeah?
no subject
It's an Irish holiday. They mostly celebrate it in the west, but there's a lot of different people 'round here; figured it was best to pick a theme and stick to it. Trying to figure out what holidays everyone celebrates would be impossible.
[ when it becomes clear that he's not going to be called out on - whatever he was concerned about - rin relaxes, taking on a more confident tone. he may not know much about this, but he has put his all into the clothes he'd selected. has to count for something. ]
Makes sense. We can change it up with whatever you've brought, though, too much green is pretty boring.
[ a look in kashuu's direction, notable in that it travels down and back up again. ]
What, your favorite color's red?
no subject
Maybe we could add a few extra things, but a theme'd be pretty cute, anyway. It'll give indecisive people something to focus on, too!
[Not that he knows what that's like or anything, OF COURSE NOT...
He's definitely smiling at that question, though.]
Mmhm! It suits me the best, y'know? [Most of his actual clothing is black, but his arm guards and scarf are red, and so is the sheathe of the sword he carries.]
no subject
maybe he'd even invite this kid.
anyway, kashuu had seemed decisive enough when he'd looked through rin's suggestions. that's good enough for rin. ]
Yeah. Gotta play to your strengths.
[ their food is delivered at that moment; rin gathers his photographs up to make room for their plates. it looks good. smells good, too. ]
We should wear some of the stuff we're suggesting, though. Only seems fair.
[ a beat, then -- ]
You and me are both gonna look like Christmas trees.
[ it kind of fits. peppy kashuu as a christmas elf.
on the other hand... matsuoka red hair with an all-green palette? disaster in the making. ]
no subject
I like that plan! I can set up some displays with stuff like it at the boutique I work at, too. It seems pretty popular with people here, so a trend might catch on in time for it to be properly celebrated and all.
[Which Kashuu quite likes the idea of, if only because he's been pretty excited for all of these new holidays and he hasn't really been able to celebrate any of them. Christmas in particular was an impressive flop... Well, no time to rectify that than now, right? And speaking of-]
Red and green, yeah? Too bad we missed the season. [A bright laugh follows. IF ONLY... Their time came and went, what a tragedy.] A-ny-way! I'm sending you the photos I have so you can look through 'em later.
