[Sigh]

That was one event I wouldn't have minded should it have remained a little longer. The rest of you were quite literally mad, but I for one rather enjoyed it.

Ah well.

Now for business. I'm opening that beauty parlour. Who wants in?

Comments

[redjacketthief]

Not sure that I'd want in...but I do need a good trim.

[deadlyjuliet]

A little off the top never hurt anyone, hm~?

[redjacketthief]

Well, I haven't cut it since I got here...it's starting to touch my collar, and wrecks my gentlemanly image.

[deadlyjuliet]

And we can't have that. A gentleman thief losing his gentlemanly image? That's positively criminal.

[redjacketthief]

[He chuckles.] That's a cute pun, my dear. Do you care to help this gentleman out?

[deadlyjuliet]

Oh, of course I will. You know I've always wanted to test my hand and take a pair of shears to you, Lupin, dear.

[redjacketthief]

...I hope you mean of the hair-cutting kind, cherie. [Don't think he hasn't caught your subtle predatory streak, Grell. He's just not certain why it's there, but trusts you solely because of Smoker. Okay, and you're cute.]

[deadlyjuliet]

[oh la la ]

Of course, dearest. Whatever else could I mean?

No gentleman or woman should allow their appearance to fall by the wayside, even in a place such as this -- No! Especially in a place such as this.

[redjacketthief]

Just checking~ My girlfriend is an assassin, if you didn't know. Sometimes it's better to play safe with every woman that I talk to.

[He winks at Grell playfully.]

We all have to keep our standards, babe. Why do you think I'm always in my suits?

[deadlyjuliet]

Every rose has her deadly, possibly poison-tipped thorns, hm? And every man who picks such a rose better be smart. It's why I like you, Lupin. So rare are men that realize the value of the women they have chosen.

And even rarer are those who still dress well. Can you believe the state of dress of some of these people?

[redjacketthief]

[He laughs.] Would you believe me if I said that Fujiko would shoot me if I didn't? [She kept her Browning in such a sensitive place for a reason...]

But yea, there's no reason for people here to dress as crappy as they do. Don't they understand the point of updating fabrics and cuts regularly to fit with the trends?

[deadlyjuliet]

I would believe you, yes. She's a ferocious thing.

And ugh, don't get me started on that. I simply must talk to Keimi-chan about this and get more new blood onto the fashion field. I can't live this way any longer.

[redjacketthief]

[Hold that thought--]

...Keimi-chan is in the fashion industry? [And a proper English lady like you is using '-chan'?]

[deadlyjuliet]

Starting, according to Smoker. She's just the most darling thing, isn't she? I do look forward to what she'll design.

[Oh, she's just a melting pot of 'wtf is that,' Lupin.]

[redjacketthief]

She is a sweetie...

Hey, do you think she can do a custom job? My jacket--my red one--was kiiiiinda incinerated, but I'm an off-standard size. It needs to be remade from scratch, but I don't want to trust just anyone with it.

[deadlyjuliet]

I don't see why not. Go see her for your fitting and she should be able to help you.

[redjacketthief]

Perfect~

I'd rather trust her with it--and, after? She'll have at least one very solid recommendation for furture business.

[deadlyjuliet]

And she does need them. We've relied for so long on only one seamstress that it may be difficult for the poor dear to break into the business.

[redjacketthief]

Sweet thing like her's gotta be talented too. She deserves a good shot.

[deadlyjuliet]

Then I do hope she can look forward to your continued patronage, dearest.
