[ 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. ]

[Oh hey, a familiar face! Ed's not exactly one for shopping, but he does have his own sense of fashion.]

If you're looking for a particular style of clothes I can always transmute something for you.

[Though he very likely might sully it with his own warped sense of taste.]

A shopping trip would be fun.

And it’s been a long while since I’ve worn anything nice.

[Being a soldier and a prisoner does not give anyone much opportunity to dress up fancy.]

[And Temple wants something elegant to wear for his date with Taako, to really sweep him off his feet. He supposes he could just make a custom thing with Chromawear buut... now that he’s thinking about it, this does seem like it could be a better option.]

[He just hopes that he won’t regret using video to reply to Fish. The other is really pretty and really charming, and Temple is sure that he can’t possibly compare to him.]

[A young lady’s face with two white horns poking through her bright pink hair appears. Her red eyes brighten as she smiles.]

I would enjoy accompanying you on a shopping trip, Fish-san. It’s been so long since I last shopped for clothes, about a year at least.

[She did buy some clothes during her time with Audentes, but most of those times were usually for the sake of the missions rather than pure enjoyment, so shopping for fun sounds lovely.]

My name is Nyuu, by the way. Pleased to meet you. [She gives a small bow of her head.] Um, could I ask you something?

[ It is a terrible thing that the first thing she notices is the makeup. It's actually fascinating to watch having never been exposed to makeup ever. ]

If you need company to find better attire, then I offer mine-

[ Awkwardly combing her bangs over her scarred eye. ]

Uh, Fish.

[Spy's going to take a moment to just... watch for a second. He's never actually paid much attention to the process of applying makeup, and Fish is doing this like it's second nature.

Also, they're purple. What the hell is up with that?

Once he figures out how to open his video feed, he'll respond. He's old and technology is confusing!]

I haven't had the chance to yet, but I've been meaning to see how much fashion here differs from home. If you would like company, I'm available.

[despite her better judgement, Mandy does still have a weakness for interesting faces, especially the ones who know how to make themselves more interesting with the right combination of colours. Maybe the fact this person is named Fish would be trippy to other people from her time and place, but to her it might as well just be Tuesday]

Cosmetics and clothing. Oh darling, you are speaking my language.

[she does let that fake English lilt drift into her voice, adding another layer to her own mask of dark-lined eyes and red lips]

I'm not much of one for makeup, on the whole, but I do need something to wear other than my school uniform.

[Hifumi's not completely clueless about makeup, but she takes no pleasure from it. What she knows is entirely because her mother didn't want her to look washed out on-camera.]

[Austria turns on the video feed, looking a bit frantic, ultimately grateful, and his hair somewhat out of place.]

I am in desperate need of pomade, or mousse, anything to keep me from having to comb it back every few minutes. I can't stand it any longer.

[kayssistant]

[Wow. They're very fabulous. And at this point, Kay is no longer surprised to see other Moonblessed who don't look human.]

I did go shopping, but just for the bare essentials...I don't even have a job yet!
