countermeasures | chroma | catchall for kashuu kiyomitsu

[heeeere they are in the closet!

jiuqing is looking between two dresses, a contemplative expression on her face.]

Hmm...

[He's still absolutely just here playing fashion consultant. He will never leave this space again, it is his home now.]

Oooh... Those are both so good! The vibes are totally different! What're you feeling more in the mood for?

...they're both a little shorter than I'm used to, but I really like the patterns...

Hm... We could look for something longer with the same kinda pattern, then? Or you can just wear tights or leggings under it! It'll help you feel more covered up.

[Modern solutions.]

Tights and leggings...?

[???]

Oh, yeah! Like these--

[Give him a second as he goes SCOURING AROUND for some of both aforementioned items to show... Eventually, he withdraws a metallic pair of leggings and a pair of tights with lace-like roses.]

--Ta-da! Cute, right?

Oh!

[her attention is immediately drawn to the tights with lace-like roses]

How cute...

[Holding them out!]

You really do have a good eye, huh? These ones were my favorite, too!

[she giggles]

Well, of course I do. [what "of course". there's no "of course" here. she just has an ego.] Is this kind of garment common where you're from, then?

[THERE'S DEFINITELY AN "OF COURSE" her ego is valid, says Kashuu, who also has an enormous bloated ego.]

Yep! I'm not really sure where they came from or how they got popular, but people use 'em to layer up in winter and stuff when they wanna stay warm but don't wanna start looking like walking sleeping bags.

[Allow him to pull a few more off the racks, too, while he's at it. There are so many different types of floral and lace print tights...]

Oh... Do they really keep people that warm?

[the fabric looks so thin...]

Not on their own, really... [He's calling out all the LIARS who says that leggings are warm enough PIXI!!!!!] But the trick is layering! You can wear a few of 'em and no one can really tell.

[GHJGKHJGSHJGH THIS CALLOUT IN A POST PIXI CAN'T EVEN SEE!!]

I see... that makes sense, I suppose. And they're not difficult to move around in, when you're wearing more than one?

[YEAH!! PERISH, PIXI, WITH YOUR FCKIN LEGGINGS.]

Nope! The fabric's really stretchy, see?

[Stretchin' out one of the pairs of leggings to show her! Wowee, the future.]

[gasp!!]

How do they make fabric like that?

[Now there's a good question that he sure as hell doesn't have the answer to!!]

Um... I dunno! Maybe it's part rubber?

[Actually not that far from the truth.]

I see...

[hmm. she's eyeing he leggings with interest. imagine if she figures out how to make them and goes back to her canon with that knowledge.

fashion revolution!]

[It's what she deserves, honestly.]

Wanna give it a try? I'll pick out some cute shoes while you're changing!

Sure!

[off she goes to try them on!!

im crying i can't believe we've got two dressup threads]

[OFF HE GOES TO FIND SHOES. This is hilarious help... it's your job to start the sads first beats you up

While he's rummaging, though, he'll call out her way:]

You want heels or flats?

Flats, please!

[i'M TRYING I JUST CAN'T FIND A GOOD WAY TO SEGUE INTO A SAD STORY]

[this is so funny, us nerfing ourselves with cute shoes HELP...

Kashuu will locate a pair of cute flats embroidered with lilies in a sparkling silver thread, though! i'm tired of looking through fashion pictures after 2 days of it set me free]

I found something real good!

Oh! This embroidery...

[she comes over to look at the flats]

It looks handmade...

You think so?

[He turns one over, looking at it and watching as the threads catch some light.]

Mm... I guess it does kinda have a hand-sewn quality, doesn't it?

It does...

[her voice trails off and her gaze lingers on the embroidery for a few moments

i am really grasping at straws for angst here]

week one, monday
