Hey, everyone!

[Dyme waved. He was sporting some of his new orange eyeshadow, just to give it a whirl, and his nails were painted orange, too. So were his toenails, on that note, but they weren't visible, obviously. He was also wearing his new outfit, just because.]

You know you can buy makeup and shiiiii- stuff? [He normally didn't give a damn about swearing, but maybe he shouldn't do it in front of the whole train where kids could hear.]

Also, get a load of this.

[Spreading his arms, he backed up to show off his new clothes, doing a little spin.]

What d'you think? I feel like...like some really rich guy or something.

[Well, he was, but not here, and he'd never dressed like he was rich.]

Seriously, who's in charge of picking out these clothes? [He laughed.]

Comments

[swansongs]

Did I?

[He laughed again.]

I'm still not sure about that, but thanks. I mean, I guess it could have been a lot worse.

I got this blue frilly thing that looked like it came from renaissance era France! Gave it Prompto!

[Shakes his head, looking HIGHLY amused that the guy was so damn eager to get that mess of a jacket.]

[swansongs]

I dunno what the renaissance era is, but frilly doesn't sound like Prompto's style. Not that I know him that well, but.

[Actually, frilly didn't sound like anyone he knew's style.]

[maxwellsdaemon]

Fancy clothes with frills... It was royal blue as well! He loved it, the oddball.

[Duo was really trying not to laugh. He felt a little bad talking about Prompto this way, but Prompto already knew his feelings on the outfit, which is why he'd handed it over in the first place!]

[swansongs]

Royal blue's a nice color, at least. But I can definitely see how frills are a deal breaker.

[Some frills were nice, but he was assuming these were the ugly kind.]

[maxwellsdaemon]

The colour was... kind of eye watering, but not bad. Just the style.

[He gave an exaggerated shudder and then laughed.]

Coulda been worse though!

[swansongs]

It could always be worse.

[He paused for a moment.]

Aaaand now I'm thinking about all the awful fashion that exists in the world. Like the runway models who look like they're wearing burlap bags. Just, like, why.

[maxwellsdaemon]

[Duo was now thinking about the same thing and he couldn't help laughing.]

Because that's NOT fashion... That's just "lets see what we can get away with?" Nothin you could actually wear out on the street!

[swansongs]

Why even bother with that kind of thing? Like, I guess seeing what you can get away with is fun sometimes, but it's such a waste of time and money and stuff, probably, when it's 'fashion'.

[It boggled his mind, honestly.]

[maxwellsdaemon]

As I see it, it's just a competition now. Some guy put a lampshade on someone's head one time and called it fashion, now it's just a race to see who can make the weirdest mess of colours and shapes and get away with calling it fashion, before everyone realises it's all bullshit!

[But it was the same people who thought all of that was 'high fashion' as who thought three red dots on a green square was a masterpiece of art! Duo knew beauty was in the eye of the beholder, but damn, there had to be a limit!]

[swansongs]

People are weird.

[News at eleven.]

But at least they're entertainingly weird. Sometimes.

[The weird things 'fashion' came out with were at least amusing in how bullshit they were.]

[maxwellsdaemon]

Sometimes. [He conceded with a nod. Not that he really paid that much attention to fashion outside the bits you'd catch on tv and in magazines, it always baffled him.]

Anyway, you enjoy being fancy! I'll see you around, buddy!

[swansongs]

Thanks, you too. I mean, bye.

[Hopefully the video feed cut off before he facepalmed at himself.]
