Attention, everybody. Yes. ALL OF YOU. Over here, it's Zelda.

I have just realized something. Whoever knows the answer - whomever, whatever, I'm not picky, I just need to know - I must know as I do not.

Are uniforms required for the welcome feast this year?

Love, Zelda

What a question.

[scaredbutdreams]

Arthur, darling, help me.

[distinctual]

We wore them last year.

And the year before that.

And before that.

[scaredbutdreams]

Does that mean this year as well? They could have changed it last minute.

[distinctual]

I doubt Durmstrang changes its regulations just to appease your fashion ambitions.

[scaredbutdreams]

But-but-but this skirt.

[distinctual]

Oi vey.

What kind of pleat is it? Or are you talking about the uniform's skirt?

[scaredbutdreams]

No, a seperate one. That new style that was in Witch Weekly - without the hem on the bottom to make the illusion and the length. It's shorter than the regulated one.

[distinctual]

What color did you order?

[scaredbutdreams]

Crimson.

[distinctual]

You won't be able to get away with a crimson skirt at our welcome feast, regardless of the length - the color would completely stand you out like a peacock at our table.

[scaredbutdreams]

Peacocks aren't that color - and what's wrong with standing out?

[distinctual]

It was a synonym, darling. You know, a peacock with its-- nevermind, the type of animal isn't the point. The point is that while you may have gotten away with a shorter skirt that was our actual uniform's color, you'd draw obvious attention to yourself in the crimson - and thus, surely get in trouble for breaking dress code.

[scaredbutdreams]

...Oh.

I could always charm it.

[distinctual]

So try that?

Though I hold no responsibility if you do get caught.

[scaredbutdreams]

What color then?
