[ so. shuri hasn't been going to school. not since the incident. or touching the journals. or leaving the house... or anything. he's just been sitting at home, thinking things over, and finally staring at the list of things that the Student Council had set out to organize before everything went to hell

[... Shuri's actually using the journals again? Konatsu is surprised enough that there's only silence on the feed before he hastily clear his throat.]

Uniforms promote a sense of unity and cohesion among a group. Allowing too much freedom in altering them defeats the purpose.

[acowardlyoak]

Maybe at home, but here they'll just complain.

[tinyhawk]

Making them optional also defeats the purpose.

[acowardlyoak]

Not for the people who choose to take them!!

[tinyhawk]

If only some people are wearing them then it's not really a uniform.

[acowardlyoak]

I still wear my uniform from home and that doesn't make it any less of a uniform.

[tinyhawk]

[Sudden realization. Pause. Unease...] You're not intending to make replicas of our uniforms for the school, are you?

[acowardlyoak]

Wh- [ thinking. hm... they'll skin him if he tries it. ] no!!

[tinyhawk]

[Crisis averted. =A=] Good. [He would skin you if you tried.] Regardless... there's not much point to a uniform if it's not enforced.

[acowardlyoak]

But Mikado says that his school doesn't enforce them. It still means something...

[tinyhawk]

[Konatsu considers that for a moment. Finally:] I suppose there's no reason you shouldn't, either...

[acowardlyoak]

It's just an optional touch of home for some people! Some schools don't even have uniforms.

[tinyhawk]

Yes -- usually smaller, rustic schools, where the parents of students wouldn't be able to afford uniforms.

[acowardlyoak]

So, everyone wins this way! [ see see, i did a good thing konatsu!! ]

[tinyhawk]

Who are you commissioning to make them?

[acowardlyoak]

There's a tailor in town!
