[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?

[centralfiction]

Someone who doesn't need to consider blood pressure medication on a regular fucking basis.

[Read: someone actually calm.]

[whiteshroud]

Haha, okay so calm.

And maybe demure? Someone a bit more timid than yourself, but in a serene way.

[centralfiction]

[... (13)]

Like what, some Yamato Nadeshiko type of shit?

[whiteshroud]

Yeah, exactly!

What do you think?

[centralfiction]

I mean

I guess I could pull that off.

[whiteshroud]

You definitely can!

Part of the fun of this is getting to explore things you wouldn't normally do, so don't be afraid to enjoy yourself getting into character!
