[ After playing around with the device for a bit, now that they finally have time to settle in after the vine madness, Fish has the thing mounted nicely at an angle high enough to give the network a nice view of their head to the top of their shoulders—much like a beauty blogger really. They’ve got an eye for beauty and they put it to use here. They have a bare face at the moment, but it’s still a pretty face with smooth purple skin that fades to lilac on their face, their throat, and the front of their chest. ]

I suppose if everyone is using this thing to ask questions, I might as well ask one of my own.

[ They take a small brush loaded with sea green pigment and draw it over each of their eyelids as a thick eyeliner with practiced, precise movements. ]

Cosmetics and clothing. Has anyone gone shopping recently? I’ve noticed this place is just far too different from the one I know. So I think I could use some guidance. Or some company. Company preferable.

[ They chuckle to the camera and shimmy their shoulders, like a practiced coquettish performer. They pop open a small glass jar of deep purple pigment and another brush. And they quickly fill in their lips with the same neatness as their eyes. ]

There is a lot I want to acquire if I’ll be staying here for a while. So, let me know if you’d like to go shopping.

Oh, by the way. In case we haven’t met... you can call me “Fish”.

[ They wink. ]

[And Fish certainly does have an interesting face! Purple skin aside, there's red fins! Bright blue eyes! Long red lashes! But they aren't the only one with an interesting face. They notice this lady on video. She's got a powerful look to her and they pay attention. She definitely looks like the type of lady they should be hanging around with.

Fish seems to be sitting straighter in their seat, definitely at attention.]

Well! What are we waiting for! We ought to go shopping! What's your name, darling?

[there's a small part of Mandy that suddenly wishes this person knew her, because then she'd have a better idea of what part to play with someone she would have used as inspiration for a costume without giving any credit. But she's clearly as anonymous to Fish as she's been to Echo and Joe and everyone else, so she'll have to work with what she's been given.

She leans forward just a bit, not quite showing clevage but teasing the idea of it]

Mandy. Delighted to make your acquaintance, since I was clearly just waiting for someone with your fabulous style.

[freshtilapia]

[ And she’s saucy too! Fish does like anyone who can keep up with them on that front. They smirk and decide they absolutely need to get to know each other. ]

You seem quite the fabulous type yourself, Mandy. A pleasure! Well! Why don’t we meet soon? Where are you staying?

[smileslie]

Flattery will get you everywhere.

[it's a reflexive response, but also true--especially these days, compliments are doing more for her ego and the fact they aren't being used for backtage passes helps quite a lot.

She's quiet just for a few moments as she sends the address] And I'm sure you not the type to leave a girl anticipating your arrival too long.

[freshtilapia]

Oh, I'll be there the soonest I can.

[And Fish gets a move on!]
