13th Light - New Clothes [Audio/Common]

[[backdated to a few hours before these threads]]

[Locked to Jinx, Riku and Xanth; 43% unhackable]

Hey, guys?

Check outside your rooms.

Let me know you don't like them. Or - heh - if they don't fit.

[Kairi has placed neatly boxed formal wear outside each of their rooms. She picked the clothes out personally. Yes, this is Kairi's way of telling the three of them that she expects them to go to that Captain's strange mask party.

And to dress properly for it.]

[Jinx would actually love to have a marshmallow bomb.

He finally opens the box only to find exactly what Kairi had promised. A dark grey tuxedo, a dark green satin waist coat, and a green bow tie. It's complete with a comfy pair of slacks.]

Looks good, Red. Hopefully I can get 'em on right.

Don't get them dirty before the party, okay?

[She pauses, but figures he can only refuse.]

And take a shower first!

Don't worry, I won't.

[He doesn't even plan to try it on until the party.]

An' sure, I guess.

[Victoly!]

If you need anything else, I can help.

... You are coming, right?

[Juuuuust to make certain he's not humouring her.]

[Jinx examines that bow tie.]

Instructions would be great. An' ya', I'll come.

Well, so long as someone doesn't decide ta' kill me again.

[This is a funny joke, Kairi. Laugh with Jinx. 8D]

They won't.

[She's smiling. Is a smile good enough? She's pretty sure nobody will try to kill Jinx again... As long as he doesn't drink too much.

Wait, instructions?]

... You've never worn clothes like this before?

Can't say I have.

Well... It's easy. First the shirt, then the waist-coat - heh, that's the one the looks like a vest - and then the jacket.

[And then she hits upon an unforeseen problem.]

I don't know how to tie a bow tie.

You'll be th' first ta' see it so ya' can tell me if I messed it up, then.

I'll see if I can figure th' tie out. Where's it supposed ta' go anyway?

[Have some giggles, Jinx. How can you never have worn a tie?]

Heh, okay!

It's... It goes around your neck, under the shirt collar.

[The man lived either in a bar or on a sidewalk.]

So like a scarf. Why don't I just wear my scarf, it'd be much easier.

[Kairi's dissolved into all-out laughter.]

Oh, no! You can't wear a red scarf with a green suit - heh - not unless it's Christmas.

And then you'd have to wash it.

[What are Christmas? It must be 'Christmas' every day because Jinx just loves pairing that scarf with his army green tank top.

And what's with all this washing business? Jinx is so confused.]

Uhh...okay, Red. What should I do?

Well... We need to find someone who can tie a bow tie.

...Or I could look up how to do it.

[Libraries; good for something.]

Oh! And don't forget to pick a mask!

[Libraries: Full of boring words and nonexplosive materials.]

A mask? I get that from th' Bazaar, right?

Sure! There's whole cases of them.

I thought you might want to pick your own.

Ya' thought right, then. I was thinkin' green.

Oh? I wouldn't have guessed.

Yup, I'm a man that loves his green.
