hikaruorkaoru | Twelfth Pattern ; audio

Good afternoon, Luceti.

[Well, he sounds bright and chipper today. Thoroughly back to his old self, now that he's no longer terrified Kaoru will vanish if he's not permanently in his sight.]

I wanted to take this opportunity to remind you that Hitachiin Fashion is open for business.

[What better time than after a competitor -- who couldn't even be called a rival because, well, obviously not -- has been announced to be closed. The shop itself? Well, Hikaru may just have to look into taking it over entirely. Because they could use the room. This little place is cramped with their stuff and then stuff for sewing, too. It takes up a whole room and part of the living room! Definitely not enough space.

Plus if they can get rid of the sewing room in the apartment, they can work on knocking down the wall between two of the bedrooms and fitting a bigger bed in an improved-size room.]

For a minor fee -- goods or services, price negotiable upon consultation -- you can commission a one-of-a-kind Hitachiin outfit for work, social, or formal occasions.

For a limited time, we are also offering one free wing-dying service with a commission. Limit of one per customer.

To schedule an appointment for your consulation, please contact Hikaru or Kaoru Hitachiin.

I remember you guys talking about this.

Can I just pay for the wing dying, like a tattoo mark? I'm not sure I need a whole new set of clothes at the moment.

Totally.

We'll even offer a discount rate since we don't do patterns on our own wings, so the application may not hold the way normal dye jobs do.

Well, no one ever said I backed down from something new, so no point in starting now. I was thinking the Star Fleet emblem. Think you do that? It's pretty simple, really.

Sure. If you want to draw it for us now or bring something over, we can get started on how we'll apply it.

I have my uniform shirt with the symbol. That'll probably be better than any drawing I can give you.

Would you... consider making a wedding dress?

A wedding dress?

[Holy shit, yes. Yes, yes, yes. Wedding dresses are extensive and gorgeous and demanding and the mark of a true designer. Holy shit, he needs to tell Kaoru about this ASAP.

But out loud...]

Yeah, we could do that.

[Like it's not a huge deal.]

[Expensive, detailed--they'd want to go with something flashy. How big a wedding dress? What's the personal style of the person wearing the dress?

There's a barely audible flipping of pages on this end, and very quickly the scraping of a pencil against paper. Excuse him totally eavesdropping on your conversation; a wedding dress isn't something you get to make every day in a place like this, and Kaoru may be a little eager to get started.]

Something like that would take a lot of time. Not to mention the labour...

[Careful to remain aloof, thoughtful.]

We wouldn't be able to work on anything else for most of it.

[In other words, 'whatcha got?']

Oh! Well, I think the wedding is going to be sometime in June. Would that be enough time? If it's not, I'm sure I could find something.

[As for payment...]

I do have some mission points though, and I suppose I could always get some more if you wanted something specific in return.

June, huh?

Well. That's pretty reasonable, I guess. We can do a wedding dress in thirteen months, yeah.

[...Yes, Elizabeth. He thinks you're talking next June.]

Huh, that's a good idea... I might need some extra clothes durin' my stay here. Don't think anyone else would have my size.

Hitachiin Fashion is here to help with all your clothing needs. Would you like to schedule an appointment?

Sure thing! The name's Mickey Mouse.

Mouse, huh? People here have such weird names.

Well, it might have to do with...

[Click. Now you see him. He gives a little wave.]

[Aw, to bad her wings already have a sort of design on already, or she'd really go for that.]

Something nifty for Spring weather would be great

[She'd like to say 'waterproof' too, but that's asking a bit much...eventhough it's pretty much raining every other day.]

We can definitely work on something for you.

Want to come by later for color talk and price negotiation?

Couldn't wait 'til she was gone, could you? You stupid jerks.

You ain't got no respect for nothin'.

There's nothing wrong with advertising when the competition's gone.

She ain't competition! She was fine with workin' with you jackasses and it ain't like she was tryin' to run you out! You couldn't give a crap whether someone's hurtin' could you? All you care 'bout is making your stupid name here like it freakin' matters. You're heartless! And you ain't got a shred a' honor or decency in you!

[That's right, this is the boy he and Isamu roomed with in Malnosso World... who seems to share his interest in fashion. Perhaps this is his chance to capitalize upon this...]

You wouldn't happen to be in need of any models, would you?

[Models? Well.]

Not right now, but we might later.

Do you have experience?

None whatsoever.

[He doesn't sound very deterred by that fact, though.]
