[Voice]

I suppose our captors believe they have quite the sense of humor, what with these miserable costumes.

Hmph. I refuse to allow them the satisfaction of spoiling my birthday.

[Action]

*Rachel is wandering somewhere through the village, perhaps in search of tea. Why does she look pissed off? Why, because she's dressed as another vampire loli, and being clad in Remilia's outfit any longer than she needs to be is rather infuriating.*

I understood perfectly. I merely opted to ignore your clear myopia.

Even my ribbons cannot make her hair look anything but ridiculous.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

They're doing a plenty enough job making your own hair look ridiculous.

[redstringed]

Please refer to my earlier comment. Your obvious blindness is no fault nor concern of mine.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

The one who is blind is the one who continues to wear such unflattering accessories. I suppose you can't see your reflection either.

[redstringed]

Of course I can. I am simply a higher breed of vampire than miss Scarlet, you understand. Her weaknesses are not my own.

And my ribbons look as marvelous as they ever have. I suppose asking someone who dresses like you to know something of proper fashion is like asking a lab rat to write calculus equations.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

You're joking, right? You can't possible think those actually have any aesthetic merit. You may as well be wearing novelty rabbit ears.

[redstringed]

I can and do. That you cannot see it merely reaffirms that I have made the correct choice.

If you wish to criticize fashion, start with that silly little cap that Remilia wears.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

It's a bonnet. It's a mark of noble women.

[redstringed]

It's also hideous, noble or not.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

The fact that you didn't even know what it was speaks volumes about you,.

[redstringed]

Of course I knew what it was. Bonnets have been worn in countless styles over the years - if she wanted a mark of her status, she could have at least attempted to pick something flattering.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Like you claim your ribbons to be? The ones that make you look like a ridiculous child?

[redstringed]

Flattering and functional, yes. Again, one such as you can give me no higher compliment than your disapproval in this case.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

...

You have no sense of fashion whatsoever. It's almost depressing.

[redstringed]

It is depressing how myopic you are, isn't it? I wouldn't be caught dead wearing your rags if I had any choice.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

These are sleep clothes. They are not meant to be fashionable.

[redstringed]

Ah, I see. Then it is merely a lack of dignity that keeps you in public in your nightwear.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

... Actually, if I am to be honest, it's more a lack of effort.

[redstringed]

*Okay. She wasn't... expecting that honesty.* Well.

I suppose that being able to recognize that failing is an infinitesimal sign of hope.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

I assure you, it's regularly pointed out to me that "I could do better", but I hardly see it as being worth my time.

[redstringed]

Really, even Remilia's clothing would be step up from a nightgown. Do as you wish.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

And I wish to not care in the case of my own fashion.

However, that doesn't mean I have no eye for fashion at all. And I can clearly tell you that your ribbons are a "don't", as they say.

[redstringed]

I have seen hundreds and hundreds of years of fashion pass. My ribbons are functional and attractive, and the opinion of a girl who is content to live in her sleepwear means little to me.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

I somehow doubt I am the only person to ever tell you how ridiculous you look.

[redstringed]

None who have possess even the most remote sense of fashion.
