This Is My Chance!

All right, whelps. I've tailored your ensembles for the fashion show. |
 |
Ooh, this is gorgeous! |
 |
I have to hand it to you, Professor Crewel. These outfits are very well-made. I knew I was right to turn to you. |
|
STAY. Don't start barking for joy just yet. These outfits aren't finished. We're about to have a fitting so that I can put in some fine-tuning to ensure they bring out your best. |
 |
Great. More work. *sigh* |
 |
Whoa, these are some pricey-looking threads. Hm? Wait... Look at this jeweled bracelet! Even the accessories are swank! How much does this thing go for, anyway? |
|
It's an antique, so it doesn't have a retail price. But it'd go for around ten thousand on the market. |
|
Ten THOUSAND?! You're kidding! |
|
You're making a scene, Ruggie. |
|
I'm pretty sure my reaction's perfectly reasonable, actually! |
|
I'm giving you the finest in attire. It wouldn't do for the wearer to feel out of place in it. |
|
(Wait, did he say "giving"?) (Does that mean I can keep this outfit after the Fairy Gala's over?!) (I'm gonna make a mint on this baby! Shyeheehee!) |
|
I'm making a quick run to Sam's to pick up some extra accessories I ordered. |
|
Do you want us to just stand by while you're out? |
|
Hmmm... Why don't each of you try coordinating your own outfits? If you pull off a style that makes me yelp, I'll formalize it for you. Show me your aesthetics. |
|
(This is my chance!) (I'm gonna load up on expensive whatsits and doodads from head to toe. Sha ha ha!) |
|
Ugh. I don't care what I wear, as long as it fits. I've already got a whole training regimen from Vil coming up. I don't need this extra work. |
|
C'mon, Leona! That big important school magestone is riding on this, remember? You gotta make sure you stand out if we want Operation Steal the Show to succeed! |
|
Oh yeah? You seem awfully motivated all of a sudden. What's your angle here? |
|
Please. You wound me. I just wanna do my part to support our fine institution. |
|
Yeah, same! We all want our air conditioning back. Let's do some coordinating together, Ruggie! |
|
You know what's up, Kalim. Let's start with my outfit. Get me super-accessorized so that I can really pop at this party! |
|
Ooh, this golden tiepin looks expensive. I'll put that on. |
|
Next... Your chest area's a little spartan. We should but a big gem there. |
|
That's a GREAT idea. How about this brooch with a red stone in it? |
|
That ruby's only the size of my pinky tip. I'm worried that might not stand out. It's smaller than the diamonds I use for board game pieces. We should go with something bigger! |
|
Sorry, you use diamonds for WHAT, now?! |
|
Is that weird? They were already there at home, so I used them. I've never really questioned it. |
|
Yeah... Wow. You and Leona ever chip a tooth on those silver spoons you were born with, or what? |
|
Ooh, look, Ruggie. There's a brooch bigger than your face! That's sure to make you pop more than anyone. |
|
It's huge! And is that blue stone in the middle a sapphire? This is ABSURDLY nice. Put it on, quick! |
|
You've failed the assignment, Asim! |
|
Whoa! I didn't realize you were back, Professor. |
|
What a completely tasteless ensemble. In fact, someone might call it downright tacky. Look at Bucchi's outfit. It's made with a simple white cloth base to bring more attention to his natural charm. As such, his accessories should be kept to conservative white and silver accents that don't add distracting colors. This sapphire brooch and gold tiepin both clash horribly. Remove them at once! |
|
But wouldn't it be better to draw attention with lots of shiny, sparkly gold? |
|
No, it wouldn't. Unless you're suggesting that my tailoring was off-base to start with? |
|
N-no, not at all, Professor! I just thought it'd be nice to go ultra-fancy since it's such a nice occasion, y'know? |
|
In case it wasn't clear before, I'll be taking these outfits back after the show. I trust you weren't under the impression that you'd be keeping yours. |
|
WHAT?! But you just said you were giving them to us! Was that a lie? |
|
I'm not sure where our wires got crossed, but... When I said I was giving them to you, the implication was "giving them on loan." |
|
...Oh. Okay, in that case, whatever works. Go nuts. |
|
You're not interested anymore, Ruggie? I thought we had something cool and flashy there. |
|
I don't care what I wear, as long as it fits. I guess my only request is that it's easy to move in. For the operation, I mean. |
|
It's like all that ardor from a few minutes ago never existed at all. |
|
So that's the kind of guy you are, Ruggie. |
|
Maaan. I was ready to make a fortune on this. Guess nothing in life is ever that easy, though. |
