8th Taunt | Video

[The video snaps on to reveal a parlor, a doorway behind the young blue-haired girl leading into the living room of the home that it had been built onto. A faint crackle of a fireplace resonates throughout the room, chairs positioned around a central table. The location of many a Fashion Club meeting, its use today was for something similar, but certainly not of the norm. Today, an important announcement was to be had, as well as an example to fashion that everyone should take note of.]

Hey everyone! I just wanted to show off something I made for a minute. Also, thanks so much to Hikaru for the sewing and fashion design lessons. If anyone wants something really gorgeous, you should totally go to Hikaru and Kaoru.

[She motions off-screen, although the person she’s trying to send some sort of signal to isn’t in view yet.]

Presenting...my first experiment in men’s fashion!

[She makes a little face when her signal isn’t responded to right away. Someone has missed his cue.]

C’mon Dad! You promised!

Alright, alright.

[From the side, he walks in, not quite looking dejected, but pretty close- hands in his pockets and looking away grouchily as he stands next to her. There’s an obvious bit of embarrassment in Vegeta’s face, but then again, it could be worse. And well, he did think he looked pretty good in the outfit she’s made for him.]

Thanks, Dad.

[Bulla is proud of her first successful attempt at making men’s clothing that doesn’t fit weirdly. She managed to go right from design, to making a simple pattern, and this is the end result. The outfit in question is a white turtleneck that’s fitted without being skin tight, complete with khaki pants, a belt, and a necklace.]

I didn’t make the necklace or the belt, but I did make the sweater and pants myself. So, Dad? How does it feel? It’s comfortable, right?

[He looks over to her, flushing lightly at the question. What, he’s got to give his opinion on this too? He didn’t sign up for this, at least he didn’t remember agreeing to such a thing. He was supposed to wear the darn thing, be done with it, and go about his business.]

It’s a shirt and pants, and they fit, I guess. I don’t see what’s so special about it.

[He folds his arms over his chest, the feel of the necklace irritating him further. He’s never worn one in his life and he can’t believe this was the start of it. Was this really fashionable for males to wear on Earth? How absurd.]

[Bulla whirls around with her hands on her hips.]

Dad! You don’t have to make it sound like it’s a chore. You could have just agreed that it’s comfortable.

Ah-! Fine, fine! [He picks at the sleeve uncomfortably.] None of it is uncomfortable to wear, and this turtleneck actually fits me in the shoulders and arms for a change, unlike that ridiculous clothing the Earthlings make back at home. There, is that what you were looking for?

[Bulla smiles and nods. She’s not going to expect him to talk about how great the clothes are. Just a little bit of public praise rather than grumping about it not being special is all she really wanted. The fact that he’s willing to support her interest is the more important thing overall.]

Thanks, Dad. That’s much better. I think we’re almost done here. But first I want to know what everyone thinks of my first try at men’s fashion! Your feedback is appreciated, everyone.

((OoC: Responses will come from both Vegeta and Bulla!))

[Okay he's thankful this isn't him.]

It looks nice, sis. I think you did a great job.

[Just wait, Trunks. You'll be next.]

I'm glad you like it. I can try designing something for you sometime. Maybe something blue.

[Nope. He's not being going to be a model over the journal.]

As long as I don't have to be shown over the journals, I'm fine with getting one of your designs.

What if it was just a photograph?

[Of course, the other option is just making Trunks get out and about wearing whatever she made...and they'll have to go places where she knows they'll run into a lot of people. There's that option, too.]

If it's a photograph that's different. Go ahead and show it off.

[Because he's okay with that at least.]

Great! We can always go hang out somewhere while you're wearing something I designed, too. ...did I mention my friends Wanda and Kate are opening a nightclub soon?

A nightclub? Oh man, count me in! That sounds awesome! I'm up for hanging out there and meeting more friends of yours.

I even got a job there as a bouncer. Which reminds me - would you be willing to help with the sound equipment? I told Kate that if anyone in this village could make improvements to the sound equipment, it would be you or mom and that I'd mention it when the club was getting closer to opening.

Sure, I can do that. And you know, I'll even see about bringing Haruka since I'm sure he'd want to come check it out with me. You remember him, right? He'd probably appreciate getting a makeover from you too. In fact, you could do a makeover on the both of us at the same time.

Edited 2014-01-21 05:58 (UTC)

Good! I can help you guys pick out something awesome to wear for the club's opening night.

[She's glad to hear that Trunks patched things up with Haruka. He'd made it clear that he didn't want her butting in, so she'd left it alone, but it's good to hear nonetheless.]

Yeah if you didn't notice I kind of left the house for a while and stayed with him. But everything's cool now.

(ooc: Ooops, I fail and actually didn't know Trunks had moved out.)

I've been busy learning how to design clothes, Trunks, but not busy enough to miss that.

[ooc: It's okay, it was kind of handwaved.]

Of course sis, of course.

Yeah, and you're next.

[He's not doing this again, no way. ~~Even though he will probably do this again for her~~]

Yeah but I'm not going to be shown over the journals.

[He says that in a bit of a cocky tone. He loves you too, dad.]

Oh, you won't will you? Care to take a bet on that? [Yep, he loves you too son.]

Bulla agreed to only take a photo of me. I don't get to experience what you did.

[Clearly they are the best father and son.]

You really think she'd settle for just that? Come now, you're not giving your sister enough credit.

[Def the best.]

Well she now has possibly two more models, me and a friend. But if she does put me through this, you know I'm still never going to let you live this down. Just saying, dad.

[SO MUCH LOVE IN HERE.]

Hey! [His finger goes out, pointing right at Trunks through the feed.] Keep that up and half the village will know about your little feats when you were still a small brat. I've got more blackmail on you than an intergalactic freighter! Not to mention I can figure out my own means of payback.

[Two can play at this game, Trunks-!]

Geez dad, I was only teasing. No need to get so fired up.

[But Trunks, your dad is super serious all the time.]

You and the rest of the village. [All Trunks would have to do is look at the rest of the entry to see what he means.]

[He did...sort of. But he decides to be reassuring.]

Hey you know I do it out of love, dad. Not like everyone else. Besides, I still care about you.

Yeah, yeah, I know. [He does calm down, a little.] They push me to my limits often, so I'm sure you understand my frustrations.

[That might of just been the closest thing to an actual apology that he can muster to give to his son.]
