Status: open

What happens when you let two fashion-impaired fishtrolls have free reign of of the shops without any supervision?

A lot of regrettable fashion choices. More than usual.

Except there is not a lot of partying and rocking going on as there is feelings and jamming here in the plaza. Feferi sits with her ice cream on a bench, trying to keep it from dripping onto her brand new outfit. (Which she is very proud of!) With her feet crossed at the ankles, she swings them idly, feeling so much more relaxed than she has been. She and Eridan both needed a little retail therapy,now that they had been able to just have some fun and let go of the last week's events, things were definitely going to be right as rain.

She is ready to talk about things now. In public. In hideous fashion. Because that is how she rolls.

[Wow rude Karkat, way to be sensitive towards your literally half-blind matesprit. You can have a flat look for that one.]

Kar if you're that disappointed that we didn't inwite you along, just say so. Also, the fact I'm half-blind has nothin' to do with how awesome we ended up lookin', so you can take that noise and showe it and the comment about the shutter shades, because these are fuckin' great and nothin' you say inwalidates that.

[bethehugejerk]

[Karkat could make further argument about Eridan's visual state, but he's not that mean, particularly when the injury wasn't earned or any ire besides. The rest of their response provides a much more pressing angle to pursue, anyhow.]

Fuck no! I would go up to the island and do a trollympic medal worthy quadruple backflip off a cliff before I went along shopping with you guys for the purpose of torturing myself with "clothes" - [He makes airquotes.] - like that. And I'm totally right about the shades!

[ex_fintastic398]

Don't be player-hating on the shades! [ She doesn't even know what that means... ] Besides, we had fun, and we let off some stress, and now we feel a lot better after last week and all. Is that really so bad?

[unconchonable]

[Player-hating? Fef where are you learning this vocabulary?]

Kar you take your borin' clothes too seriously, you honestly should loosen up sometime and just hawe some fun. Also, like Fef said, don't hate on the shades, they're awesome, you just can't handle it.

[bethehugejerk]

[Karkat stares at Feferi a moment.]

What does that even mean?

Also they're not awesome; they're some of the dumbest accessories I've ever seen. And my clothes aren't boring, they're normal, non-garish, and don't seer the eyes of innocent bystanders.

[ex_fintastic398]

[ Listen she heard it somewhere and she thought it sounded cool, okay ]

It means you're booooooooring! Loosen up, have a little fun for once! A little color in your wardrobe would not hurt you at all.

[unconchonable]

Your clothes ARE borin'. Black and grey can work sometimes but it gets a little bland after a while. Seriously Kar, I think if you actually stopped resistin' and let us dress ya up nice, you'd see what we mean.

[bethehugejerk]

Maybe I like black and grey! Maybe I like things simple! Is that such a crime nowadays? Because if it was I'm sure Terezi would have hung me from the branches of the tallest tree around back during the span of months she was here. But say that was an oversight, a misunderstanding of the inscrutable laws of fashion you have imagined to exist: Redglare didn't come after me either.

Listen, if I ever get it in mind to expand my wardrobe and add in color, it will be judicious and restrained, two words apparently foreign to your vocabularies, so let me put it this way: I won't bathe myself in radioactive clown vomit. And on that note, if I need someone to help me in the venture, I will go to Kanaya first, last, and every stop in the middle.

[ex_fintastic398]

[ Feferi just kind of. Groans and tosses her head back ~dramatically~, almost losing her fabulous shades in the process. ]

Karkat you are so extra grouchy today. Sometimes I think you are bound and determined to keep everyone from having fun, like you are the Fun Police or something!

--Hey! That's what we should get you, a police uniform! Eridan, wouldn't he look cute in a little uniform??

[unconchonable]

[Karkat you are so dramatic sometimes! Your matesprite just wants to have some fun with you, gosh.]

Oh. That would be cute. Fittin' too! What do you think, Kar? That wouldn't be so extravagant to offend your delicate borin' fashion sensibilities, would it?

[bethehugejerk]

A--what?

[He outright gawks.]

No!

[Cue his own dramatic gestures, hands emphasizing his refusal.]

I'm not going to wear a fucking uniform! The only kind of uniform I ever gave one single squeakbeast's tiny behind about is that of imperial threshecutioners, and I have long since realized that me wearing one of those is never going to happen.

[ex_fintastic398]

...so if I got Kanaya to make you one of those, you really would wear it?

[ Say no, Karkat. SAY NO. ]

[unconchonable]

Oh! I bet Kan would be all for this sorta thing. Especially if it means gettin' Kar into somethin' other than those clothes he normally wears.

[This decision is being made for you, Karkat, it's okay. Sit back and enjoy the ride.]

[bethehugejerk]

That's not what I said! You're twisting my previous statements into a warped parody to exact your own nefarious fashion villainy and I flat-out abjure your attempts to get me to go along with it. Not happening. Kanaya's making me something else, and that's enough.

[He's mostly arguing just to argue now, because really, getting to look like his hero Troll Will Smith as the lead in Thresh Prince a threshecutioner is oddly appealing. If the context were different, he might be better convinced, but oh well.]

[ex_fintastic398]

[ It's okay, they both know him better than that anyway. ]

Well, as former-future-Empress-to-be, I'm deciding right here and now that former-future-Threshecutioners-in-training should at least own a proper uniform. Just in case duty calls! What do you think, former-future-Fleet-Admiral-in-training?

[unconchonable]

I think you're makin' a great call here, former-future-Empress-to-be.

[Have a coy smile, Karkat. Maybe your matesprit wants to see you in a nice Threshecutioner uniform, gosh, stop being so difficult.]

That aside, what is Kan makin' you?

[bethehugejerk]

And as past, present, and future leader of our team, I declare you both to be incorrigible pus nodules, and unfit for the task of decision-making.

[Sorry, he has principals to hold up. Like being a giant pain in the nook.]

I don't know, something. She's doing this project for all the trolls apparently and I only know because she asked my opinion on part of it. I'm sure she'll bother you both later about it.

[ex_fintastic398]

[ Just gonna opt to be the mature one here and make a face at you Karkat. Mhm. But then-- ]

A project? When did this happen? I haven't heard anything!

[unconchonable]

[Most mature former-future-Empress-to-be.]

Yeah neither hawe I. So what is it?

[bethehugejerk]

[Karkat, also king of maturity, sticks his tongue out at Feferi.]

I don't know when. She asked me to visit her shop the day I woke up, and considering the plan means making something for each of us, it'll probably take a while. Ask her about it yourselves, or wait for her to ask you, because odds are she will eventually. Something about designing things similarly for ancestors and descendants, and input from matesprits about each other's outfits.

[He angles a stern look at Eridan now.]

But if you tell her something ridiculous I'm going to refuse to wear it even once.

[ex_fintastic398]

So you think.

[ What? Feferi said nothing! You must have been hearing things. ]

I'll ask her next time we see her! Maybe we need to pay her visit after we're done here.
