[flaredo]

Who: Yang Xiao Long (flaredo) and Unfortunate Fashion Failures Among Her Male Friends
When: IC 10/30, OOC 1/8
Where: The Shopping District

[ It's a fine day, a day where your bathrooms won't be trapping you within them just yet. So your guard may be down. Why you're in the Shopping District, Yang has no idea, and why Yang is in the Shopping District-- well, let's just say she's decided to be an excellent friend and take matters into her own hands.

And that is why you will end up with one hand on your shoulder.

You may now proceed to:

a.) Scream
b.) Make a break for it
c.) Stab, punch, and attempt other forms of bodily violence (please don't.)

At least she's only targeting people she's spoken to at least once, and she'll speak up now, urgently. ]

Come with me. This is serious.

[ Takakage is actually not in the Shopping District to do shopping.

He was only there to pick up a package that was pre-ordered - another few volumes of books from modern Earth. Since it was a simple excursion, he had opted not to wear his traditional robes - instead settling for some simple semi-formal clothes.

Since his Persona was not out, Yang actually manages to sneak up on him unawares - and he jumps visibly when her hand lands on his shoulder.

He turns a little too fast to be polite, honed by years of keeping alert; but his posture relaxes once he recognizes her. ]

Did something happen?

[swordboning]

...what's so serious?

[Archer was looking for more suitable clothing for Rin but this was new. No one every really approached him, especially with a quest of some sorts.]

I'm not doing anything stupid.

[dielectrics]

[ Killua just turns and stares at her with his most unimpressed look, not even bothering to dodge her hand when it's that woman and he knows it'll only lead to further aggravation. Why would she be approaching him, anyway, doesn't she know that his outfit is extremely fashion forward? ]

What do you want?

[deontology]

[Look, Sousei has no plans to stick around the shopping district. He's walking through briskly, on his way home from work, when she suddenly speaks up and he's...

going to fall for this every time, isn't he.]

What is it?

[But he'll follow....because she sounds so urgent.]

[sewayaku]

[ Zara is perfectly well-dressed, for her information! His fashion sense is just a bit, well... dated. And formal. But he sees nothing wrong with it, has made no moves to change it, and, naturally, hardly suspects that Yang intends to.

Thankfully, his only reaction to the sudden hand on his shoulder is a slight flinch; when he sees it's her, he relaxes quickly. Before he can greet her properly, however, he's interrupted. His brow wrinkles. ]

Serious?

[insolvent]

[ okay, ludger's fashion sense really isn't that bad alright... questionable suspenders aside. still, considering he wears the same outfit every day, only switching the color of his shirts, he probably is overdue for some fashion assistance. he'll never give up his stingy ways, even now that he's not saddled with a ridiculous amount of debt.

when he recognizes just who's stopped him, his immediate reaction is to consider fleeing. whatever this is about, he's pretty sure it won't end well for him.

but in the end, his jrpg protagonist instinct to never ignore a possible sidequest wins out. ]

...where are we going? [ and why is he already following her without even knowing. ]

[flaredo]

Yeah. I had a major epiphany, and I need you. Right here. Right now.

[ Yang, maybe make that sound a little less-- ]

[flaredo]

Define 'stupid' first.

[ people probably didn't approach him for a reason. ]

[flaredo]

[ Killua, you'll bring her to tears.

But yeah, she's not even going to explain, she's just going to PICK HIM UP and about-face. ]

You're coming with me!!

[flaredo]

I've noticed something. About you. Something I should've done something about a long time ago.

[ now come into this store, Sousei... ]

[flaredo]

Serious. Did you ever think you might want to blend in a little better?

[ This is so serious. ]

[flaredo]

Inside. [ And she'll point to a nearby store. ] Ludger, I've gotta say, I'm pretty disappointed.

[deontology]

[... ... ...]

About me? [no he's not coming now, he's stopping in place. He narrows his eyes.] What are you doing?

[insolvent]

At... the store? [ he knows that's not what she means, but he can hope. ]

[flaredo]

I'm lending you a hand. So stop staring at me like I'm about to sabotage you, okay?

[flaredo]

... [ just... a stare. Really? ]

[insolvent]

...sorry. [ even if he's not sure why he's apologizing. ]

[swordboning]

Anything that fails to fill any requisites of the term 'common-sense'.

[Damn right they don't. That stick up his butt is too big for that.]

[flaredo]

[ HE SHOULD BE APOLOGETIC. ]

... Listen. You need to do something about your wardrobe.

[flaredo]

Then we're fine. Just how many outfits do you own?

[insolvent]

My... wardrobe?

[ he'll just glance down at his outfit, shifting a bit uncomfortably. it's not exactly the most exciting of ensembles, but it's not that bad, is it? ] What's wrong with it?

[swordboning]

The only one that I need; this armor and cloak.

[His Fate/Extra self was far more fashionable, really.]

[flaredo]

Let's just start with the fact that those suspenders are starting to haunt my nightmares for how often you wear them.

[deontology]

[REALLY.]

I would not put sabotage of a mostly harmless nature past you.

[flaredo]

... Are you-- no, you probably are.

Okay, you definitely need to come with me.
