fashionably_strong | 1st shopping trip [Video/Action]

[The blue haired girl who appears on the video feed is nothing short of irate.]

Bad enough that I get taken away just before I got to go home, but some creep changes my clothes while I'm unconscious and leaves me with this plain thing?!

[She looks disdainfully at the plain white sundress.]

Don't even get me started on surgical modification. Ugh. I want to know who's in charge of this sketchy operation so I can give them a piece of my mind!

[Bulla clenches a petite fist and looks like she wants to smack someone. Then she realizes that anyone else who has a little book device like this probably isn't in a much better situation.]

Sorry...this is just so not what I needed right now, so if anyone is listening and can tell me who I should go yell at, I'd appreciate it.

[Action]

[The teenager is a decidedly unhappy camper. She just wants to be home with her family where she belongs, but instead she's stuck here. She'd really like to slap the pervert who undressed her and took her clothes. Even discovering that she'd be able to get them back doesn't really make up for what's happened. She's tempted to fly in the air to get a better view of the area in the hopes of spotting an escape route...but she'll save that for later. There are priorities that need to be addressed. Namely this bland little sundress she's currently wearing.

She wanders along, exploring and doing her best to remember where she's going. A couple of times, she finds herself lost and begins marking where she's been with a stick on the ground. It helps, and after a while she reaches the town.

Bulla looks irritable right up until she spots a clothing shop with a cute shirt and skirt combination on display amongst other outfits. Her expression visibly brightens and she makes a beeline for the shop.]

Oh, I know! Ever since I got here no one really seems to get it. I get that there's other things in life than clothes, but still! Wearing the same thing every day is just wrong!

From:

fashionably_strong

It really is. There's only a couple of times when it's okay, and that's when you're in a coma, or stranded somewhere and your only other choice is wearing leaves that might be poisonous.

From:

cuteisawayoflife

I know! Getting a nasty ugly rash is the only thing worse than wearing the same outfit every day!

From:

fashionably_strong

[Well, she can think of a few really awful things, but. A full body rash is right up there on the list of awful things that don't involve impending threats to the world.]

I think I'd rather design and make my own clothes than wear the same thing every day, and I don't even knew how to sew!

From:

cuteisawayoflife

Oh, me too! Being a fashion designer would be so much fun!

From:

fashionably_strong

If I can find someone to teach me how to sew, want to learn with me, Quinn? Then we could work on fashion designs together!

From:

cuteisawayoflife

Well, last time I tried to sew I pricked my finger and the bandaid clashed with everything I wore. But maybe this time I'd get it right straight away!

From:

fashionably_strong

Oh, that sucks. Was it one of those bright coloured ones? Bandaids should only be white, black, or beige for easy colour coordination. ...unless you could get ones that matched your wardrobe exactly.

From:

cuteisawayoflife

Yeah, it was bright orange. But if we can get white ones, maybe learning to sew won't be such a bad idea!

From:

fashionably_strong

If we get really good at it, we'll be able to alter our own clothes instead of having to take them to professionals and waiting a couple of days for the alterations to be done.

From:

cuteisawayoflife

Oh, yes! Professionals can be so unreliable sometimes.

From:

fashionably_strong

I bet we could even help the fashionably challenged people here.

From:

cuteisawayoflife

Oh, that's what me and my friends did back home! I would be honored to keep up the proud tradition of the Fashion Club in a whole new place!

From:

fashionably_strong

That sounds like a wonderful club, Quinn. Did the Fashion Club give people makeovers?

From:

cuteisawayoflife

Oh, all the time! We organized clothing drives, had fundraisers and parties...someday we might even try to print our own fashion magazine!

From:

fashionably_strong

Wow, you're pretty ambitious. I'm impressed.

From:

cuteisawayoflife

[beams] Thanks! I want to make the world a better and more fashionable place for all people.

From:

fashionably_strong

I've always tried to help my family and friends be as fashionable as possible, but I think you're right. It's something the whole world needs some help with, and the people I love already protect the world. I can help by making it more fashionable and teaching people to not be jerks.

From:

cuteisawayoflife

Oh, my family is just awful about fashion. Well, my mother's not too bad-looking and she cleans up nicely when she really tries, but Dad just wears the same suit or golf clothes every day and my sister? Forget about it!

But yeah! Making people look good and teaching them to be nice are both good things. Especially when you're teaching them to be nice to cute animals.

From:

My mom usually has good fashion sense. There's a few old pictures of her in outfits that would be totally unfashionable now but were stylish at the time. My dad knows to listen to me when it comes to stuff like that. His sense of style got way better after I was born. My brother...well, it's kind of a hit and miss thing, but he could be a lot worse. He just needs to remember not to wear stuff that doesn't clash horribly with his hair.

From:

cuteisawayoflife

Oh, I've got pictures like that of my parents, too! They used to be hippies. [shudder]

His hair? What, did he dye it a really weird color?

From:

fashionably_strong

What are hippies?

[Bulla blinks at that. She's never heard of hippies.]

My brother's hair is naturally purple.

From:

cuteisawayoflife

They're these people from the sixties who loved nature and wore stuff with flowers and didn't like bathing.

Naturally?! Wow, who did he get it from?

From:

fashionably_strong

Oh, that's just gross. I don't think hippies were ever a thing on my world, although there have been some people who could stand to get better acquainted with soap and water.

[Like her mother's old boyfriend way back when he was a bandit.]

He got it from our grandfather. This is my natural hair colour, too.
