two diamonds ♦ video/action for Violet
[ The camera comes to life in Rarity's hands, but aimed at the ground, where a defiant-looking and tiny Glameow sits, glaring. It doesn't take long for the view to swing around to Rarity's smiling face. ]
Good afternoon, Johto! A pleasure as always. As you may have noticed, I've recently acquired a lovely kitten with an even lovelier disposition. [ Is that sarcasm? Probably. A throaty growl sounds from below, and Rarity walks away quickly. ]
You might imagine that some cat somewhere liked me. [ She huffs. Then, addressing the camera again: ]
[ edit/ooc: and now we pretend that this next part was always here, because Rarity is not a derp, her player is. /sob. ]
Before I get down to business, I'd like to thank someone personally for the gift I received earlier this week.
Shinn, the chocolates were lovely, and the gesture more than appreciated - unfortunately, I'm afraid that I'm unable to eat them. [ A pout. ] Ponies are terribly allergic. Applejack was the oh-so-tragic proof of this.
That said, I've kept them - would you be dreadfully offended if I were to give them away? They look delicious, and I'd simply hate for them to go to waste. Do let me know, darling?
Moving along... I ordered some things from Goldenrod City last week - supplies and accessories - and have since begun learning to make human clothing! [ She sounds genuinely excited. She is. ] In retrospect, it may have been simpler to begin with male models, since female humans have... well, more intrusive anatomy when it comes to fashion design. [ Cue dramatic sigh. ]
Nonetheless! I have succeeded in my endeavours, as of course I must. And you, fillies and gentlecolts, are to bear witness to my very first modeling exhibition!
[ From offscreen, a small voice sounds. ] U-um... I'm not sure how I should wear this....
[ Rarity glances that direction as another, much, much louder voice chimes in. ]
Oh, that's easy! Like this! [ A beat. ] Or... well... not exactly like that....
... Rarity! How does this silly thing work?!
Fluttershy had it right the first time. [ As the bright pink exclamations carry on in the background, Rarity continues. ]
Bear in mind, of course, that this is merely a taste of what is to come. As soon as I've gotten a bit more practice, I'll be offering my services at the usual rates. Whatever those are.
[ She glances offscreen again. ] Pinkie! I just finished her hair!
I thought it should be... you know, poofier!
Um, I... I think I'm ready, actually.
[ With a bright smile, Rarity turns with the camera, keeping it on herself. ]
With no further delay, Johto, I present you with a classic example of Rarity's work - perfectly suited to its wearer, customized down to the very last stitch!
[ She steps out of the shot to reveal Fluttershy, standing only a little awkwardly in her new clothes. She does a little turn, on an exuberant bright pink command from offscreen. ]
And in case you doubted the range of my abilities, this is my new outfit!
[ The camera is handed off, presumably to Pinkie, and Rarity steps back to show off. ]
You both look super totally cutetastic!
[ Rarity actually looks pretty smugtastic. She rests a hand on her hip and steps closer to Fluttershy, linking their arms together. Fluttershy smiles, first at her friend, then, shyly, at the camera. ]
You heard it here, Johto - super totally cutetastic. [ Okay, so Rarity has to laugh a little. How does Pinkie say things? ] And I have an opportunity for some of you to help spread this loveliness around!
I need two to four male models to practice with. The girls and I are in Violet City, so it's much more convenient if you're in the area, or can arrive here in a few days.
You'll be permitted to keep any clothing tailored for you, free of charge, including not only all of my designs, but at least one fully custom design of your choice.
It's an awesomely fantasi-wasa-mega-tastic deal!
[ Oh, god. Rarity's already struggling to keep a straight face when she starts: ] You heard it here, Johto - it's a- oh, no, I- [ Nope, she's lost it. She leans on Fluttershy, laughing. The camera turns to Pinkie, grinning broadly. ]
You heard it here, Johto! It's an awesomely fantasi-wasa-mega-tastic deal!
[ ooc; Pinkie and Fluttershy used with input/permission from respective players! ♥ And feel free to have your boys volunteer (or volunteer your boys), regardless of where they are. We can always work something out via the magic of bird Pokémon, if you've got your heart set on it! ]
