Ragna is typing...

Ragna is typing...

Ragna is actually debating and he hates it but ultimately:]

You're not getting me in drag, so yes.

But Ragna. Don't you want quality cookware for the kitchen? Can you imagine cooking with a high-quality le creuset pan? Honestly, with the amount of prize money on offer, you could get a whole range of them! I expect cooking would be a dream with those.

And all you'd have to do is dress up for like, what? A few hours? A few hours of dressing in drag and having fun for the chance to really deck your kitchen out in luxury.

[centralfiction]

[Son of a bitch those are high quality pans that will make his job so much fucking easier and he'd fucking KILL to own one of those for his own place...

God it'll be so fucking EMBARRASSING though, why's he gotta dress like that for some good fucking quality work tools...

Fuuuck but they're SO good...

There has been Ragna is typing... on screen for a solid minute or so, but.]

I'll THINK about it.

[droptheious]

[ They are such HIGH quality pans, Ragna. Don't you want to cook with the high quality pans? With five thousand dollars, you COULD have one in your place! Gasp! Wow!!

Varian's watching the Ragna is typing with the smuggest smile known to man or beast. He's got him thinking about it, which is exactly what he wanted. ]

You should! I think you'd be really good at it.

[centralfiction]

[Varian will be even more smug watching Jun and Ragna's conversation and how comically fast it took him to crack with a power word.]

I wouldn't be. But fucking fine, I'll do it already now get off my ass!

[droptheious]

[ He's watching it and he is so proud of his Dear Heart fo playing a blinder of a move there. ]

I disagree! You should have more faith in yourself! But great! Let me know if you need any technical help with your act.

(T_T)

But if we don't get other sign-ups, it'll just be Haru and me representing the fortress.
And the last year I tried, my stage fright made me unable to perform...so I can't guarantee I'll be better this year.

This feels like a lot of pressure to put on Haru....

1/2

[centralfiction]

[Son of a fuck why was THAT the precision fucking strike that it was?!?!?!?]

[centralfiction]

[Man's getting double teamed by a couple of fucking 12 year olds and he's SO MAD ABOUT IT between the fuckass la creuset and this.]

Jesus fucking Christ, FINE. FINE I'll FUCKING do it. But you better make sure no one out there knows its me. I'll never fucking hear the end of it from Venti or Zulius if they find out.

[He will find out anyway.]

[whiteshroud]

[Because Seal Knights do what must be done to complete their mission. Even if it means poking Ragna's haru shaped weakspot]

Ah, that's great! Thank you so much!

Don't worry, we'll do our best to keep you a mystery lady. Drag performers usually have a stage name, so no one will think twice about someone concealing the identity!

[centralfiction]

You fucking better.

[And they will never speak of it again afterwards.]

[whiteshroud]

Of course! They won't hear a word from me.

Anyway, the next step is to figure out what kind of look you would want. Since you want to keep your identity a secret, long sleeves and a wig would be a good idea. What kind of colors would you like?

[centralfiction]

[haha what

he's panicking now]

I-I don't goddamn know! You think I've given any thought to what I wear? I'm in T-shirts most of the time and that red coat my past life had is way too heavy to wear in June!

[He still wears it sometimes, just not to work. Then it'll get food stained. You know, as opposed to all the blood that's the reason his past life had the cringe as hell name Bloodedge.]

Just because I agreed to this shit doesn't make me any less totally blind to what I'm going in with!

[Ragna you're a Eurovision enjoyer.]

[whiteshroud]

[Oh...oh he's panicking.]

H-Hey, it's okay! You don't need to have all the answers right NOW. Just... tell me what kind of colors you like.

Besides red, since that'd be a giveaway.

[centralfiction]

[He's just gonna cap Harumasa's suggestion and send it to Jun, it is time for him to become one with the couch.]

go w this

[whiteshroud]

[Ohhh he's going with Harumasa's suggestion huh? Haha, just gonna make a mental note of that, don't mind him]

Oh, that sounds like a great color combo!

Next is the dress style then. Since long sleeves are a requirement... what about a kimono? They provide plenty of coverage, and you wouldn't have to worry about things like padding as much.

Plus, while it's totally opposite to your usual fashion style, it does pay homage to part of your heritage.

[centralfiction]

[Shush!!!

ugh, FINE, he's sitting UPRIGHT on the couch...]

Sleeves like that would definitely cover up my dead give-away of an arm at least.

[whiteshroud]

Mm, I think the kimono sleeves along with some opera gloves would cover it up nicely.

Now that we know the color scheme and dress style... next is the drag persona. When you do drag, most performers have a unique persona they act out on stage. Sometimes it's just an exaggerated version of some their own traits, and sometimes it's total opposite.

If you want to avoid being recognized... it'd be good to go for opposite personality traits. So in that case, what would your drag persona be like then, if they're the opposite of you?

[life_ethereal]

Woooow, I didn't even need to step in to try and convince you this time~

You good or are you panicking right now?

[centralfiction]

SHUT

THE FUCK

UP

[panicking]

[whiteshroud]

Poor guy panicked so much I think he forgot what colors are.

[centralfiction]

YOU SHUT UP TOO

[life_ethereal]

[Harumasa can't help it. He's laughing at all this from wherever the fuck he is.]

What a pickle you're in, Ragna!

If you want my opinion, I think that if you don't wanna be recognized, you should go with cool colors like green or blue. Maybe silver or gold accents, depending on what looks better with your overall aura. That goes full opposite to your normal wardrobe.

[centralfiction]

[When he gets his fyUCKIN HANDS ON YOU--

But ugh, he was fully expecting Harumasa to capitalize on his obvious panicking. So it's a relief when actual damn advice is given, but it's also weird.

Cool colors, huh?]

Fine. I guess I'll look at clothes like that, then. I really don't want anyone to know. Thank christ this whole thing is leagues away from what Kuni would come and watch.

[ha.]

[life_ethereal]

[The cat has retracted his claws this time.]

Haha, sounds good! Glad I could help~

I might have more opinions if you get anxious about it again. Or totally not panicky about it. I'm a text away, so don't be a stranger!
