Thirty-Second Flare - Video - Maybe He Just Needs Old Spice

[prominence_glow]

[Lea comes onto the network looking a bit better than last time. Being with everyone and working on his restaurant has managed to make him... a bit happy again. He's managed to get over losing Isa just a little bit. If there's any doubt, he just has to look up at his restaurant's title and remember that life goes on.

And there's always a chance they'll see each other again. They are connected, after all. Made their stakes in each others hearts. But that sort of sappiness is not what he's here to talk about, today.]

Yo. Any fashionistas in the crowd? I got a bit of a problem.

My restaurant is almost done, you'll all be glad to know. Just a couple of finishing touches, stock up the food, et cetera, et cetera. But before my AMAZING grand opening, I thought I'd at least try and spruce up a bit... Just a little. Formal occasion, yada yada. Besides, I have just a slight suspicion...

[And with that, he steps back to show himself off. 80s power hair and stitch coat and crazy facial tattoo and all.]

This doesn't inspire confidence for a new restaurant owner. Any suggestions? I won't cut my hair, and we hafta figure out a way to keep my scarf, but I'll go with whatever you guys come up with.

[Being in the restaurant business himself, Allen simply must interject.] A-ah, we use... simple attire at the Black Order.

But I suppose more or less, are you running some sort of theme?

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

These are just my casual clothes. [Which consist of a crazy stitch coat...]

I wouldn't really say there's a definite theme. Called the Phoenix Nest. Don't want to do anything too formal.

[crownedwalker.livejournal.com]

Then something casual would suffice. I will caution you that things can get rather filthy, so I wouldn't wear something you care deeply about.

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

Oh man, you don't have to tell me twice! I'm definitely not going to wear my finest evenin' wear every day, you don't have to worry about that.

I just thought the opening outta be something special.

[crownedwalker.livejournal.com]

Oh, most certainly! I’ll have to stop in and taste the local flavor, so to speak.

[sp8der8itch.livejournal.com]

Well annoying grub I think this is more Meddler's expertise but I will offer some advice.

Cut all your hair off and put yourself in a slimming dress. I think that would work a lot better. It would need some light color to bring out your eye sof course.

Though, I don't see why you bother. You have no luck, no one will come to your restaurant anyway.

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

[oh hey, bluh bluh huge bitch. Nice to see you too.]

Awww, that's right, the curse ended. And you were so much less of a pain in the ass with that hat.

Didn't I just say no touchy on the hair? Reh-eaaaaally, Vriska, pay attention. But maybe I'll think about the dress, just for you, vomit-face.

_{[Yes, he's regressed back to gradeschool insults.]}

I already have some customers lined up. So, minus five points on that.

[sp8der8itch.livejournal.com]

That was a curse? It was absolutely disgusting. Ugggggggghhhhhhhh! Who was responsible for that ugly hat! I hated it!

No touchy!? How about I come over there and touch it regardless maybe I should put you in your place again pink fleshy!

Those customers won't last long once your luck is gone. [Her eight fold flashes threateningly.]

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

Hey, you wore it, princess.

Blow me. You didn't put me in my place! I just tripped!

[Oh goddammit, what even-] Oh, says you!

[frogglingwitch.livejournal.com]

Ribbit... you're going to need more than a few finishing touches.

[ says the woman in the ridiculous hat ]

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

Hey, s'why I'm asking for advice. You can do a whole rehaul so long as my hair isn't cut and I get to keep this.

_{[He undoes the scarf from his leg and holds it up to his throat, where it usually went.]</sub?}

[frogglingwitch.livejournal.com]

[ staring hard at him, like she's mentally rearranging his clothes ]

Well. It might be doable.

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

Oh man, only doable? You're breakin' my heart over here.

Whatcha have in mind?

[ninthserenade.livejournal.com]

...Lemme at your hair, dude.

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

What is with you people and my hair? No!

[ninthserenade.livejournal.com]

I wasn't gonna cut it! I style my own hair--!

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

Then what exactly do you plan on doing?

[Video]

[nos-servabit.livejournal.com]

I don't see what everyone is complaining about. I like it.

[Of course you like it, Jacob. You like everything. :I ]

But maybe the coat is a bit too much...?

[Video]

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

I'm apparently a fashion disaster. Who knew?

_{[Not Lea. But then again, Lea generally doesn't care.]}

I wouldn't take it with me into the kitchen anyway. This is a special coat. I can't get it dirty.

[Video]

[nos-servabit.livejournal.com]

Not necessarily. I've seen worse.

Really? Why is it so special?

[Video]

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

It belonged to another person who was here before. He was really important to me. When he left, I decided to stay in his old house, watch all the chocobos... That sorta stuff.

I just kinda wanted to wear the coat like this. Can't really say why.

_{[Answer: He's a sentimental dork.]}

[feelstheaster.livejournal.com]

Dude, you look fine.

Very whelming.

[It's not like it's a canon fact that Robin has horrible fashion sense, or anything]

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

_{[Don't worry, Robin, you are in super company.]}

Ah ha, but what kinda whelming? Do I wanna be underwhelming so that they focus more on how the food will blow their minds, or do I wanna go overwhelming and leave a trail of swooning individuals in my wake?

It's so hard being me, Robin. It's so hard.

[feelstheaster.livejournal.com]

Just whelming, not under or overwhelming, whelming. It's the perfect amount.

[he grins] I feel your pain.

[prominence-glow.livejournal.com]

Gosh, Robin, any more compliments and I might just swoon.

I guess I better stay the hooligan to your caped crusader, then. If we teamed up, our powers combined might bring destruction to Vat. Can't have that.
