Fifth: Fashion Show! (Video; un: Fashiondiva)

[corpsewarblade]

[The video opens to 'Junko' sitting at the desk in her inn room, putting on her best bright smile - she'd even tried some sparkly eyeshadow and nailpolish. Even if they were a little overdone. Maybe don't look too closely.]

Heeeey Avalon, your favourite Fashionista Junko Enoshima here with an important announcement~

So I know you must all be desperate for some style to brighten up the place. After all, there's so many different looks here and we're just not showcasing them at all, you know? So, like, I decided I totally needed to do something about that.

Annnnnd that means this Sunday - that's the 4th - I'll be hosting an Avalon wide Fashion Show!

[She's attached the venue and event details, and it seems she's rented a hall in town for the purpose.

Because, you know, organising an entire fashion show in under a week is totally realistic.]

I'll also need some volunteers to help run things on the day - models, tailors, photographers, people who can like work the lights and stuff, sound people, you know the drill! Got a couple of people on board already, but anyone else who can help is totally appreciated!

I hope you guys are as excited as I am!

[And with that, she flashes a 'peace' sign and her best fashionista grin.]

[ The young woman on the other end mostly just looks... confused. ]

Milady speaks of a... you said "fashion show"? I've not heard of such a thing. What all does it entail?

[ She had to admit, her curiosity was well piqued. ]

[corpsewarblade]

Oh my gosh you've never heard of one?? It's like- Where you show off all the latest fashions!

So... people would wear all the cool new clothing styles and model with them on a catwalk. Which- I guess is like a long platform? And people get to see all the latest stuff.

[...Also Milady. What?]

[ofnovalue]

'Tis a gallery of textile fashions, then? But... in motion...

[ She's not unused to the idea of showing off the latest fashions. That was generally what court events were, half of the time. She'd never... really cared for them, in that sense. ]

To present such things as art, rather than noble pomp and circumstance... Milady speaks of a matter curious and oddly appealing.

Prithee, tell me more?

[It takes her a few minutes to decide if she wants to answer this with text or video... But ultimately decides to switch on video. The phone is angled as if it were resting up-right against something--not being held, since Klaudia's hands are both in view, fingers laced together and propping her chin up as she leans forward. She looks positively excited.]

I can tailor a few outfits~ What theme are we expected to design for?

1/2

[corpsewarblade]

W-woah-

[Blink. Blink.

What...was this person? She definitely wasn't human, she...almost looked like some sort of demon...

No, Mukuro, don't stare, that's rude.]

2/2

[corpsewarblade]

[She soon found her rhythm again though, after a few moments of stunned silence- and then she realised what she'd said.]

Wait, you can tailor? That's amazing, I could seriously use your help, thank you!!

Um, theme wise...

[She'd not actually thought of one yet, had she.

Quick Mukuro! Make something up!]

Uh- so yeah, like I was going for a sort of Spring theme. You know, as the weather's warming up and all!

[sulit]

[Man, that's an awkward few moments. It tempers her excitement a little, but if this girl is pushing on, then Klaudia is going to do the same. With maybe a little less enthusiasm.]

Spring is fine~ I figured late spring ensembles were going to be the highlight. [Have to plan a little ways out for that, after all.] Are you planning for daily wear? Evening wear? Any special occasions?

[There's a half a beat of silence. Maybe she was just taking a breath.] It's not going to be more rabbits, is it? I know rabbits are a pretty huge thing right now, but I think they're on the way out... I'm a little tired of rabbits, personally!

[It's been like a few weeks tops, Klaudia.]

A fashion show? I've never heard of anything like that. How does it work?

[corpsewarblade]

Darin, hey...!

[Given the last time they'd spoken was when he was assuring her she could tell him the truth, she couldn't help but feel a little awkward.

...Would it be okay?]

It's been an age, how are you? How's the forge project going?

But you've seriously never heard of a fashion show, huh... lemme see, it's like where people show off all the latest fashions! Models get dressed up in all the latest styles and pose in them on something called a catwalk- think like a long platform thing.

Then people know what kinda awesome new looks they can go for! It's like, totally the best!

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Everything's going great! I should have it open by the end of the next month!

[He rubs his chin while she describes the event.]

So...you're modeling clothes and outfits for people? Like a big event?

[confectionerie]

[ Okay, now this is something she absolutely has to get in on. ]

Sign me up to be a model! It's been awhile since I've been able to do anything like this.

[ And to be honest, she misses it. ]

did you wanna make tdm canon or not btw?

[corpsewarblade]

Hey~ Of course, thank you!

You've done this sorta thing before, then?

that works for me! c:

[confectionerie]

Yep! I was actually a model back home, so you could say this is pretty familiar territory for me.

[ She really hopes that doesn't sound like bragging. ]

[troubadamsel]

Ah, good, I was hoping to hear about this once again.

Fortunately, I am still available, and happy to help in whatever way I can.

[corpsewarblade]

Hey again! Wonderful, I really appreciate it!

You still up for modelling?

[troubadamsel]

Absolutely. I'm in the best shape of my life, and I can certainly handle whatever you throw at me!

[ yukari is trying and failing at looking eager at the idea of a fashion show. emphasis on failing. ]

Would you need anyone with makeup experience? I've never helped out with something big like this, but I'm comfortable enough doing my own that I could do it for other people.

[corpsewarblade]

That'd be totally amazing if you're up for it- we haven't got anyone on makeup other than me and I can't be everywhere at once!

Only if you're up for it though, it's totally cool if you wanna just come watch.

[saxsongs]

[Ren is always there to help a familiar face.]

I would definitely be interested in participating as a model if you'll have me. I have plenty of experience from home.

[corpsewarblade]

That'd be amazing if you could, thank you! You were a model back home?

[Oh phew, someone else who knew what they were doing!]

[saxsongs]

An idol, but I did quite a lot of modeling work. It was my main thing after singing.

[incinerators]

This is really impressive, Junko!

[ She remembers back when Junko was trying to figure out how to start her modeling career here. It seems like she's come a really long way since then. Pyrrha has a proud smile on her face when she looks at her friend through the camera. ]

I'm available to help you with things behind the scenes. I may not have much experience in it, but if you need an extra set of hands to help with setting things up, I'd be more than happy to volunteer.

[corpsewarblade]

Ahh, thank you Pyrrha!! Seriously, I could definitely use the moral support if you're up for it- I wanna make a good impression, you know?

[Friend!! Organising all this was stressful, it was good to hear from someone she considered a good friend.]

How're things going with you?

[ The video shows a fresh-faced, pretty young girl in a white dress with pink polka dots of different shades, accented by thick white fluff, the neckline made of sheer white, but-still-pink-polka-dotted fabric above the chest. A strange-shaped sparkly pendant of a brooch is placed between a white peter-pan collar, a pair of matching studded earrings accented by little pearls and a single gold cartilage ring. She's wearing soft eye makeup with a warm, bright pink glossy lip color over full pouty lips, complexion fresh and clear. Cascades of pastel pink curls fall in pigtails from matching white fluffy pompoms adorning them. An angel with pink hair. She can't hide her excitement, but she's trying her best to be somewhat businesslike... She's a professional now, here! Or— is trying to be! ]

Nee, nee— My name is Sakurada Miwako... I'm starting my own clothing line here. I'm a fashion designer with experience as a makeup artist, hairstylist, and photographer— and right now, I'm doing all that by myself with my own models, one-woman show, hehe~ But I'm looking for opportunities to promote my brand! I've been working piece-by-piece until it's ready to present online but I've already made quite a few garments for it. It's a little short notice to alter them to showcase a selection in-person, however... What would this fashion show entail?

Oh no someone who actually knows what she's doing

[corpsewarblade]

Woah...

[Oh wow, this girl was seriously pretty...! And- and actually sounded like she knew exactly what she was talking about.]

It's- it's great to meet you! Like, I'm really happy to hear from you, too, I didn't know anyone else here was doing all this kinda stuff- but, seriously, doing it all by yourself is a lot huh...

So, like, I'm thinking I'm gonna have a catwalk type section for casual wear, then some time to mingle and have drinks and stuff, then another catwalk type section for formal wear.

If you wanna come showcase some stuff you're totally welcome to come show it off, or otherwise just come present photos or whatever. Just lemme know what kinda thing you'd like to do, I'd love to get something that works for what you want too.
