006 ❀ We need a little pretty 'cause this country’s insane

[floreatnoctem]

[Chidori, for once, looks on the more pleasant side of stoic, fingers idly taking the measure of some fabric as she speaks. It would be a lot more pleasant, of course, if one of her axes and a whetstone weren't settled on the side opposite the fabric.

But oh well.]

Jade, if you would like to start your lessons today, I will be free this afternoon. Should anyone else like a sewing lesson, feel free to stop in- we'll be in the workshop.

Dave, perhaps you can be my model again for this.

[She hesitates before the next part, but only for a moment- negligible to most people.]

...Strega... Dinner, perhaps?

Comments

[floreatnoctem]

If they are what we wind up making, then yes.

[She notices. Good Dave, very good.]

Floor fifteen- and whenever the mood strikes. Hopefully not too long after Jade arrives, though.

[knightime]

these better be master pieces
i only model the best skirts you can offer
okay
ill head over there in a bit
give me like five minutes
gotta choose some decent undies and all
cant be going out in commando today

[floreatnoctem]

[You're a funny guy, Dave.]

I will make sure that they are made to suit your impeccable standards, don't worry.

[knightime]

im sure i wont be disappointed
maybe if i like them enough ill add them to my wardrobe
cant have enough skirts in my closet

oh my god that icon is so cute

[floreatnoctem]

Is there a particular color you'd prefer them in? Can't have them clashing with anything, can we?

Smiling Dave is the most precious thing

[knightime]

as long as it doesnt clash with red
id hate to redo my entire wardrobe because it clashed with basically the best fucking color ever

it really is holy crap

[floreatnoctem]

Of course. Nothing glaringly yellow, purple or green then.

[knightime]

purple isnt really my color anyways
i know someone whos already staked claims on that color anyways
jade would like green though
not particularly on me but she likes the color

[floreatnoctem]

Wouldn't that be a bit too Christmas?

[Pondering, pondering.]

Though I suppose I wouldn't have to mix the colors, really.

[knightime]

wait what
its not like were both wearing reds and greens
i feel like youre implying something
or probably not

[floreatnoctem]

No, not really. Just thinking aloud, don't mind me.

[knightime]

now im going to be suspicious of all your actions
all of them

[floreatnoctem]

Oh but whatever for?

[knightime]

im onto you
you and your motives

[He has no idea what he's talking about.]

[floreatnoctem]

Oh no, I have been discovered- no more of my nefarious plans will ever come to fruition!

[knightime]

foiled again
you would have gotten away with it too
if it werent for those pesky kids

[floreatnoctem]

And their little dog, too.

[Mixed metaphor, so to speak, but damned if she cares.]

[knightime]

you rose on the cool echeladder just now for getting the reference

[floreatnoctem]

I suppose there are some who wouldn't here, aren't there?

[Sad, tbqh.]

[knightime]

my pop culture references are wasted on them

[floreatnoctem]

I'm sure you'll find another person or two who appreciates you reminding them of things no one can really get into anymore.

[knightime]

its a hard job when most people dont
its like my pop culture references arent even culture
my material is outdated
im working with stuff thats lost their importance

[floreatnoctem]

Things only lose their importance if you let yourself believe they have. So long as it's important to you, it's important to someone, right?

[knightime]

its not was fulfilling if youre the only one who gets your references
its like trying to school little kids on how to do brain surgery

[floreatnoctem]

I don't know- I think that's still better than losing the references entirely, don't you?
