Nodate is dressed in what some might consider an absurd outfit: shiny jacket, shiny pants, a black buttoned-down shit (unbuttoned at the top) and a pair of broad sunglasses. While he normally needs no better excuse than the presence of attractive women to wear this outfit, he has taken advantage of the atmosphere to make himself extra impressive. It seems he still has to do this since his powers don't work on the women, anyway.

He is presently staring at the refreshments, disappoint at the lack of...spike. He has to do something about this and quick!

--after he's talked to one or ten women.

Mio flounces over to Nodate. Thanks to losing a bet with Ianto, she's wearing a fairly ridiculous Lolita-style Alice in Wonderland outfit, but Mio's making the most of it anyway. It's an exercise in building a character and staying in it, that's all.

"You know, you're really overdoing it," Mio says critically. She pitches her voice slightly higher than normal and deliberately affects a cutesy tone. "It really would have been better without the jacket, I think. And those sunglasses make you look like a skeeze. ...Unless that's what you're trying to dress up as, which in that case, good job. Although, I'd really have to question your judgement in that case."

“That's the spirit of the party,” he says calmly, with a wink, as if he's wearing one of his impressive business suits-or better yet, as if he has no shame (he doesn't). He gives Mio's costume an appreciative look and smiles, knowingly. “You're following it, too.”

But he isn't. He didn't have an excuse when he last wore an outfit like this. He felt like he could, and so he did. And it worked! It almost always worked. The problem is women in this dimension are impossibly hard to get.

"Well, yeah," Mio says. "Except Lolita is fashionable," she says in a pretentious tone of voice. "That's not." Mio waves a disdainful hand towards Nodate's outfit.

"Fashion is in the eye of the beholder. Anyway it changes every month. This will be in style soon, I guarantee it."

He tugs at one of the inside edges of his jacket, as if to communicate the future stylishness of his get-up.

"...No." Mio says. "Disco went out of style in the 1970s, and I'm fervently hoping it won't come back. Right now you just look like a fashion reject," she says in a disdainful tone of voice.

"Old styles have a habit of coming back. Remember, the 80's were once in fashion. I'm being ahead of my time."

It seems like nothing Mio can say can phase Nodate at all. He's finding ways to dodge or otherwise ignore her insults. He might've even convinced himself that she's just joking.

That she is, heaven forbid, flirting with him.

"I'd like to think the world has learned from its mistakes," Mio says primly. "There are some fashions that are are meant to be consigned to history."

Mio is getting bored of talking to Nodate. He isn't seeing her way at all, which bores her lolita persona, and he's not the kind of person she'd ever talk to as her normal self.

"Well, have fun with your shiny pants," Mio says. "Just remember I warned you." She turns on her toe and walks off towards the food buffet.
