1st shopping trip [Video/Action]

[fashionably_strong]

[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.]

Are you also fond of purchasing a variety of items while pointing out to other maidens that they are wearing the wrong garments in the wrong colors and that they clash with their shoes and the like? But you do that in secret, together with your best girlfriend.

Perhaps even crack jokes.

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

Why would I do that? I'm not a jerk. I'd rather help other people avoid fashion disasters than make fun of them. They won't learn if I'm mean about it.

[Video]

[not_a_troll]

Please explain a fashion disaster.

Does it pertain apocalyptic situations? A dreadful coming of meteorites?

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

[Bulla can't help but laugh at that.]

It's...um. More like a small-scale and personal disaster. Like not getting a job you really wanted because the person who interviewed you thought you rolled out of bed and grabbed whatever was the least dirty before showing up for the interview. Appearance isn't everything, but sometimes it does matter.

So if one picks the wrong garment before visiting places it is a fasion disaster? But what about punk rockers and people with a lot of earrings through a variety of bodyparts? Is that a fashion disaster as well? Or is that more a fashion choice?

And when is something considered fashion?

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

That's more like...anti-fashion. A punk rocker isn't really trying to fit in or get a job anywhere other than places that sell punk rock music or clothing. Fashion is a popular trend, especially for clothing and accessories, but it can apply to hair, make-up, and even popular slang.

Teach me the way of your people, fair maiden.

[Loki is beyond interested.]

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

Sure! Let's start with a makeover.

[Video]

[not_a_troll]

On me? Do you wish to adorn my hair with curlers?

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

[Bulla has to take a moment to think about that.]

Hmm...I don't know if curls would really suit you. Maybe something else. We'll start with clothes, first.

[Video]

[not_a_troll]

What is wrong with my current ones? Do they lack a hip and young outlook?

[Loki looks at his tunic. He thinks its well...its pretty fly. It could be more fly but its not ugly either.]

How do you envision my new look? Am I in need of more bling-bling?

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

[She has to chuckle a little at that.]

Depends on how fancy you want to get. Maybe I can help you pick out things for special occasions, and things for everyday wear. Green works really well for you, though, so I'll make sure there's plenty of green in whatever I pick out for you.

[Video]

[not_a_troll]

I think my headband is already rather bling-bling already. I think I have the bling-bling covered.

Well, I have been wearing fancy clothes once or twice.

[A shirt with a bowtie printed on it and slacks tucked inside boots. Absolutely far from a fashion statement.]

What do you deem special occasions? A date? Or some feast?

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

A date, a feast, a party...like if a friend or family member is getting married, for example, that's a party you should dress your best for.

[Bulla would be horrified if she saw that outfit and might even want to burn it.]

[Video]

[not_a_troll]

And how would you describe dressing best? A suit? A tie? Something dashing British spies would wear?

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

A suit and tie are a good start, yes. We'll just see what we can find at the shops, okay?

[Video]

[not_a_troll]

And what if a suit and tie are not fitting? Are there replacements for that?

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

Button down shirts, nice sweaters and dress pants...there's other options.

[She smiles and shrugs.]

[Video]

[not_a_troll]

I see.

[Loki sits back.]

If I allow you to give me a make-over, can I make you over in return?

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

[Oh wow that sounds like an awful idea considering she just had to explain fashion to him, but he's got a good sense of appropriate colours, at least? Bulla is hesitant, though.]

Um...well, maybe if we set up a few makeover rules? No hair dye, cutting of hair, piercings or tattoos.

[In other words, nothing permanent. If it's bad, she doesn't have to go out in public wearing it.

[Video]

[not_a_troll]

[Loki smiles the friendliest smile he knows of.]

Believe in me who believes in you, yes? Thus, have some faith in me.

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

Okay...but let's stick with those rules anyway. They benefit you, too.

[Video]

[not_a_troll]

Am I allow to change my rules if I comply with your rules?

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

Sure. The main point of a makeover is to try a new look. It's not supposed to make anyone uncomfortable.

[Video]

[not_a_troll]

That is good to hear.

My rules will change so I am able to change yours. That is a rule.
