[At long last, Ambrosine finally makes a post here with her name attached.]

Something I should ask, as I seriously doubt I'm the only one who found themselves in this situation:

Is anyone else dissatisfied with the clothing you can purchase off the shelves in the shops here? The sizing is completely useless, I've already found myself at a loss of what to do for the one week out of the month I have a tail, and let's face it. It's difficult to get ahold of good corsetry here.

If anyone would like to lend their talents to a worthy cause, I would be willing to pay handsomely.

My other inquiry is a bit more generalized, I suppose. What sort of books does everyone here enjoy? This is, of course, a completely innocent question that I have no plans to use for the purpose of ensnaring you in a world of fabulous literature later on.

Kanji Tatsumi is an excellent tailor! I highly recommend him for clothes suited around your moonblessing needs, though I don't know if he can do corsetry.

Only one sort of books?

i've always been partial to dark poetry and the genre of horror, myself. tales that leave one unsettled even after the final page is turned.

Having a tail isn't really that difficult.
If you can't figure out how to wear real clothes, just use Chromawear
Unless that's something else you're also lacking in

Re: un: lostsong.

[necroyalty]

I have a particular quirk that makes wearing illusory garments unwise.

[Truesight is a bitch. ]

And besides, my concerns are with comfort as well as aesthetics.

My clothes are altered to fit my tail, but it seems like a waste if you only have a tail sometimes. Maybe wear skirts with the tail underneath?

...and, um, I like mystery books.

[Oh! OH! She was JUST trying to figure out what she should do to earn some demichroma, this is perfect!]

I could make some alterations for you! Changing pants or skirts to slip a tail through is really easy. I could even use buttons or a zipper if you want to use it when you aren't transformed.

[resound]

Unwise what, like they just fall off
Technically I think it qualifies as the most comfortable option too
So if it's not viable, that seems unfortunate.

What's your problem with tails, then
I've probably had one for long enough I can give some advice. [ haha, jokes... not that it's obvious in text, but. ]

[necroyalty]

I can't see illusions.

Makes for planning an outfit around Chromawear a touch difficult.

[resound]

[ ......... ]

Okay. So
Other people still can, right
Maybe you can just have someone audit whatever you come up with
To make sure everything's actually covered

Or sure. Regular clothes.
Actually I have to say this is what I stick with too
But I don't have issues with fit as long as I'm going somewhere besides Prismaplace

[ he will spare her his face by replying in text, it's fine ]

I am afraid I would be of no help in matters of corsetry, but I have found that there are willing tailors in the city.

I enjoy musical ballads more than books, but the classics have always had merit.

[necroyalty]

I've never been the musical sort myself, but my brother would absolutely adore you if he were here.

[ BARDS. ]

[necroyalty]

If I may ask:

Are you currently in possession of a pair of breasts?

[ Because if not, then of course things are easier. ]

[necroyalty]

I realize back in my world I never did ask Blithe how he managed to even put on a pair of trousers every morning, but your other suggestion is not without its merits.

[ Because even if your clothes are altered to the tail, how the hell do you put on pants in a way that isn't horribly awkward? Not that this matters too much to Ambro, since she almost always goes for dresses, but still. ]

When I was a child I had the habit of reading mystery novels backwards. Of course, it ruined the suspense of it all, but figuring out how things always ended up to the dramatic reveal was its own reward.

[wildsorcery]

It's usually a tie in the back instead of the front, so most people get confused when trying tail-made clothes. My robe doesn't have a hole so it's just the pants. Too... um...too many layers otherwise.

Ah, that actually sounds fun? Maybe I should try it...

[necroyalty]

Interesting. The one I'm stuck with is more one of those little rabbit tufts, which is good for concealment, but sometimes I'm not sure if I always want it out of sight?

It's kind of cute.

[wildsorcery]

Oh that sounds... that honestly sounds adorable.

[ He's trying to not appear too excited. That was so cute! ]

It should do pretty well under skirts then, right? It doesn't take up as much space.

[necroyalty]

I'll certainly have to look him up, thank you.

...and perhaps I was a little too restrictive in that regard, no?

[necroyalty]

Well then. I can certainly commend you for your taste.

[necroyalty]

I could certainly use such a service! There's also the issue of things shifting about the tail uncomfortably whenever I change positions, although I'm not sure how much can be done about that.

[necroyalty]

That's certainly an optimistic way of viewing things, yes.

I don't normally do trousers, either, so that's one less thing to worry about.

[morbird]

ah, are you taken in by the call of the abyss as well?

[tigerpoet]

Good luck with your clothing needs.

Just a little. I enjoy a good historical drama, but then there are also mysteries, and fantasy, and lighthearted romance, and I have a weakness for poetry as well... The list goes on.

[wildsorcery]

[ Connie gives an agreeing hum at that, and then he's sounding a little like he's talking to himself, or someone nearby. ]

I'd trade my transparent body for bunny tails any time. Uh, though that might get me off-balance...?

[ He needs his tail for reasons, after all. Now, back to the discussion! ]

I've never just worn a skirt, I usually have leggings under. Isn't it cold?

There are very few outlets that carry clothes that aren't completely hideous, and the ones I do know primarily deal with menswear. So if that's to your liking, I can recommend those, and they do tend to do alterations for any extra... appendages.

Also, I'm pretty fond of mystery novels. It's always a good time trying to see if you can figure out the solution before the characters do.

[necroyalty]

Awfully dramatic, aren't we?

[Look, she just likes horror but other than the necromancy she doesn't necessarily want to LIVE it.]
