Still. I'm disappointed in what you've done with what ought to by by all rights a far superior model.

...anyways, let me try on the rest of those clothes.

[gigigigigigi]

Amazon!

[Is that an answer? Is that his name? Is that both? It's all she's going to get out of him before he's done with that robot, and...there he goes, tearing one of its limbs off with his teeth.]

[sonicheart]

R-right.

[It's not her fault her superhero teacher was a mage and didnt' know how to operate cybernetics!]

[former_endboss]

[Mir can blame her for not finding a better teacher then!

But first, Mir picks up some...undergarments.]

...do I actually need this torture device?

[sonicheart]

... They're strongly recommended. First, for modesty if you're going to wear a skirt or in case your clothes get damaged. Also, support for your chest. It helps. Massively.

Athletic stuff may be more your thing, though? Comfier.

[former_endboss]

Well, the bottom stuff I can sorta get. But I don't exactly have the most mobile fighting style, or much to support on my chest.

I think comfort would be good though.

[sonicheart]

Yeah, I'm honestly like that too. And, trust me, you're still going to want something for general wear. It really will help.

[Lori glances towards the athletic wear section a bit.]

Or shall we try on more of your existing stuff first?

[former_endboss]

Tch. Fine. I guess we can do both, though I don't know about...well most of this stuff. I'm sure I'm going to fall on my face when it comes to trouser time.

[sonicheart]

We'll figure that one out quickly enough. You're adjusting faster than you think, really.

[Lori quickly goes and grabs a few items - of course, she measured Mir earlier - coming back with a light handful.]

This oughta be enough to try some varieties.

[former_endboss]

Right. I just have to...go back into the changing rooms for another half an hour.

[She does rub some of the fabric in her hands and look around in awe at the store though before shaking her head and walking into the changing room.]

[sonicheart]

R... Right. Erm, do you want help getting everything on quickly?

[former_endboss]

...I guess it would be better than spending fifteen minutes on buttons and stuff.

[sonicheart]

Yeah...

[The camera pointedly stays outside as Lori follows Mir in and closes the door.]

[former_endboss]

[Instead, let's have a wipe to a shot of a fully dressed Mir in a new outfit.]

I don't know about any of this. Can't I just wear a normal jumpsuit?

[sonicheart]

Jumpsuits really aren't that normal in Venture. Or most places now. I don't even think they were common in Soviet-era Russia outside of certain professions.

[former_endboss]

All the people I ever met wore them, and so did I when I had a mission. I thought they were normal clothes.

[forgottendecade]

All the time. [a bitter truth and a reminder of what being far too arrogant cost him. Joji doesn't bother with the cut - it was shallow and outside of the initial sting, it wasn't bothering him at all.]

The cut's nothing.

[atouchofstrife]

Funny. He was told that all the time too.

"I haven't seen any." At least, he hadn't found anyone that would heal him. Not that Cloud needed one of them, since he had all the markings of a super-soldier gone haywire and was really hard to damage. He really didn't want to know why - the idea of being already fused with alien DNA and some kind of magic water really wasn't conductive to him wondering what was else in that SOLDIER serum.

Cloud looked at the obstacle course and then looked at Dante. It looked standard which meant that he could probably go through at a decent pace. Like Dante, he thought it was a little too easy, but he could keep from showing off. "It might be fun against someone."

[sonicheart]

... Consider you were working with KGB agents and scientists working on a highly specialized program. They would dress like you did - in the outfits they designated you to wear - to make you feel more comfortable.

But out here, it's something that stands out and spooks people. So. Yeah.

[former_endboss]

I...never thought about that. Nyet, seeing human beings was too special of an occasion to think about that sort of thing.

Still, I feel uncomfortable in a skirt.

[sonicheart]

Well, I can't blame you for that. I rather prefer pants myself.

[former_endboss]

...they're alright I guess. But the ones that are fashionable now are all tight.

[gigigigigigi]

[He guiltily looks at the rope, back at Eiji, and quizzically tilts his head to one side. There's a grunt.]

Back?

[He...does not seem to know what that means. Or he's still trying to pretend like he doesn't have the rope.]

[gigigigigigi]

Amazon help. Make medicine.

[How do you feel about alternative jungle herbology, Joji? Because that is what he is suggesting.]

[sonicheart]

... Well, yeah. YOu can get baggier fits, though, so I usually do that. Makes you less noticeable, too. That's nice.

[Lori seems to prioritize many things on 'not being obvious'.]
