misterbrief | 8th Taunt

[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!))

[One of his rare days off, Vegeta decides to relax at home for a change, being rather available to the rest of the family and making sure he's spending time with his wife. Though one could argue how much he's actually getting to relax if he's spending time with Bulma.

Either way, now he's on the couch, going through his journal and looking through the locked posts for more information he can gather about their situation here in Luceti. A whole lot of nothing, the same old information he already had, not a single conversation had been overlooked. Sighing, he sits back into the couch, looking out the window with arms stretched across the back.

Life gets so boring here, sometimes. It's nice, having the rest of his family around, even though their safety is one of his main concerns.

Speak of the devil, here comes one of them now.]

That's actually pretty nice.

[Dear god, it's a compliment.]

You've somehow made him look like he doesn't just tumble out from under a bed every morning.

[...What.]

Hmf, I look this good all the time, thank you.

Oh please. You don't know the first thing about coordination. And finding cuts that actually fit your frame and look good on it apparently isn't in your repertoire.

Newsflash: spandex really doesn't do much for you.

That is a very functional looking sweater, I approve. [You see this look Vegeta? He's teasing you. He looks at the woman...]

I do not believe we have met.

That's a good look for you, Vegeta! Nice job, Bulla.

The battlewear of a Saiyan warrior wasn't meant to look pretty, not by your Earthling standards. And besides! You sound a little jealous.

Of what.

[She's just going to watch quietly for a bit, thoughtful at the display. She... Isn't quite sure of the fashion itself, but it does seem like there is a seamstress here. One that isn't that irritating boy she saw on the journals a few days ago. Granted, she's the daughter of the guy she said she'd commission a sword for the other day but... Well, she won't address that just yet.

Instead she would address the other things that were going on. Namely, the fact that the girl was designing clothing... Granted, she was asking for opinions, but Adela has another request in mind.]

I want to know if you are interested in a trade - metalworks for clothes' tailoring.

[She never did get it done the other day...]

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

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

So this is the satisfaction of a teacher with a promising student. Keep up the good work.

[Bulla waves at the camera]

Hi, I'm Bulla. So, you're a friend of my dad's, huh?

Dad always had so much trouble finding shirts that fit just right around the shoulders and arms. I can design something for you, too.

[Even though she knows Goku will default to wearing his training gi the majority of the time, it might be good if he had something slightly more dressy for special occasions...]

Thanks! I like teaching Dad about Earth fashion sometimes.

[It keeps him from looking like a total geek, like he did with his mustache.]

Sure! What did you need done?

[She's not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but she has proven to be a quick study. And maybe Hikaru and Kaoru aren't interested in metal working.]

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

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

I'm glad you like it. Thanks again for teaching me. Getting things to fit Dad just right around the shoulders and arms is always a challenge.

I never got my tunic or cloak properly altered to accommodate for my wings. That is all I need.

[Well, and a little patch work, but she can do that herself.]

It is well to make your acquaintance Miss Bulla, I am Spock.

[Friends? Hmm.... how to answer this.] I am uncertain if 'friend' is the right word.

Hey! You make-a some nice clothes!

[Goten's sitting outside building a rock and snow fortress. He's since had mittens forced upon him so it's kind of looking sloppy, but at least he's not freezing to death now.

His journal's open though, because sometimes people say funny things, like now! Goten heads over and looks down, laying on the cobblestones of the plaza as he kicks his feet and rests his chin in his hands.]

Bulla are you and Mr. Vegeta playing dress up?

Very fetching. Now if the model would strike a pose, that'd be great.

[Just sort of lying on a couch there lazing about with some beer in hand]

[He shrugs.] I've got my own personal fashion designer right in my very own home, and you're the one who seems to care about that sort of thing far more than I. So enjoy yourself while you pick through all of the same old trash at the clothing store.

[Believe it or not, he's been there too many times to count for various reasons...]

[He narrows his eyes at Spock.]

Since when did you become a guru on menswear.

Hmmmm. Thanks.

[Yes, he is vain as shit, tell him he looks good.]
