open, backstage

[ didn't have time for an outfit? thank the one you've got may be missing something? this girl's got you covered, she's put together some of her most festive and flashy designs, as well as a decent supply of accessories, on a rack for that very purpose! and, because she's a meddlesome meddler, she won't hesitate to start fussing and bugging if she's unsure about the one you picked ]

[whatmuttiforgot]

[He's not in the show, just doing odd jobs backstage, but he can't help but stare at the girl. Nothing personal, but clothes. If there's one thing he loves it is fashion.

He's slowing inching his way over, watching her fuss with things and generally being terrible at staying inconspicuous.]

[tastesrainbows]

[ eventually she turns around to see him, her glow blinking a bit in surprise ]

Oh! My apologies, you startled me a little.

Would you like some assistance with your ensemble?

[whatmuttiforgot]

Oh, sorry! I didn't mean to, I was just watching.

[He laughs.]

I'm not performing. I just think what you're doing is neat.

[tastesrainbows]

[ this is the kind of conversation she would never have at home and she will never stop loving earth for it ]

Well, I'd have to express a similar opinion to it, of course. The offer nonetheless remains open, whether you expect to make an appearance on stage or not!

[whatmuttiforgot]

[That just puts the biggest grin on his face. He likes you already.]

Well, what would you suggest?

[tastesrainbows]

Well, let me see... I'm fond of the shirt, I think that's a good base to work from.

[ she digs through the rack until she finds a vest that complements it while matching the pants, and a pale green tie ]

What are your thoughts on these additions?

[whatmuttiforgot]

Ah! [His eyes light up and he reaches out to touch the tie.] Those look really nice. I think they'd look fantastic.

[tastesrainbows]

[ she smiles politely and offers them to him ]

You'd best put them on, then. I've always believed that being in ownership of a role that's largely conciliatory and outside the spotlight shouldn't prevent one from looking fabulous!

[whatmuttiforgot]

[He shrugs on the vest and attempts to affix the tie.]

I don't really know what that first thing you said was, but I think I agree. You should always try to look good; you don't know who'll see you.

[tastesrainbows]

Well, yes, I suppose that's true, but I've always found the aesthetic appeal in one's appearance to be a priority even when the chance that it will be recognized is absent.

[ she spent a lot of time living on her own as a child, after all ]

[whatmuttiforgot]

[poor dear]

I can understand that. Dressing up for yourself does make you feel nice!

[tastesrainbows]

Absolutely! Though, um, it isn't detrimental...should someone notice. ...Maybe, under certain circumstances.

[whatmuttiforgot]

Well of course. It's only good if the right person notices.

[tastesrainbows]

[ she considers that, taking a glance through the curtain, out to the audience ]

Potentially. But oftentimes that individual will be entirely absent.

[whatmuttiforgot]

They might show up and surprise you though.
