9th Conviction [Action/Voice] Backdated to...BEFORE.

[cry_camellia]

[Yo citizens! Tsubaki is currently faced with a puzzle, and she needs your help. So if you're in/around the clothing store today, there'll be a troubled redhead holding up a nice knee-length skirt and asking a very very difficult question.]

Excuse me, but... do you think this skirt is, uhh, t-too short?

[...What? She doesn't want to look like a

[eighth_strike]

[ A knee-length skirt is longer than what most women she knows wears. But at the same time, she has no sense of fashion. ]

Um, I think it's fine. But I think what matters most is if you want to wear it...

[cry_camellia]

[Ah, you're not alone, Hinata! The less said about Tsubaki's fashion sense, the better.]

That's a good point... I do want to wear it, but I don't want to give anyone the wrong impression.

[eighth_strike]

[ She looks between the skirt in question and Tsubaki. ]

I don't think you will... I've had friends who have have worn shorter skirts, and no one really got the wrong impression. And if you want to wear it, then you should get it. It's not as though you have to wear it out in public if you are really uncomfortable about it.

[cry_camellia]

[Her own friends wear shorter skirts all the time. She's just one of those people.]

Ah, I see. And maybe if I only wear it around the house for a while, I'll get used to it...

[redhairedknight]

...No, not really. [Then again, Erza has no sense of shame, something that virtually every outfit in her wardrobe makes obvious.]

[cry_camellia]

[Well there's certainly no shame in those awesome pajamas!]

Even for casual wear? Just... down the street?

[redhairedknight]

[Erza looks down at her own skirt, which ends just above her knees, then looks back up.] I don't see why not.

[cry_camellia]

[Hm. And Erza still looks respectable enough in her skirt, even though it's shorter than the one Tsubaki's considering...

She shrugs.] I've just... never really dressed this way before.

[Y'know, Flynn's not really one to say whether or not a skirt looks appropriate or not. But he'll try.]

It seems fine to me.

[Action]

[cry_camellia]

[Better him than Yuri, right?]

You wouldn't think poorly of a girl wearing something like this?

[Action]

[capital_justice]

[... Most definitely true. Yuri would probably troll her or brush it off with a half-assed answer. With Flynn, Tsubaki gets a good answer!]

I don't see why I would. It seems perfectly acceptable.

[Action]

[cry_camellia]

[And it's an answer that counts for something, since Flynn seems to be a respectable guy.]

I see... Perhaps there's such a thing as being too conservative.

[forthepowerless]

[ Takuto is the last person to ask about fashion, considering how his shirt - a ruby-red piece with a star over his heart - should have been retired over a year ago. As it stands, it's barely reaching his waist.

Still, he gives the skirt a critical look and a loud "Hmmm..!" before offering his professional opinion. ]

It doesn't look like it is, at least.

[cry_camellia]

[Tsubaki notices the state of that shirt and decides to factor it into how much reliance she feels she can place on Takuto's judgement, but he was kind enough to answer and everything helps!]

It's hard to tell, isn't it? There's such a fine line when it comes to things like these... Hm. Maybe with leggings?

[forthepowerless]

[ It's a good thing to notice because it's a very tragic shirt. Seriously, just look at it. ]

I suppose? It's shorter than the skirts on my school's uniforms, though... [ A thoughtful pause. ] Are you going for something conservative?

[cry_camellia]

[My eyeeeees! They bleed.]

That would definitely be my usual stance on picking outfits. I just really like the look of this skirt... though it's a little out of my comfort zone.

[not_meatbuns]

[IT'S NOT SHORT ENOUGH Here, Tsubaki, have your "mom" stopping by the clothing store. This is totally not to build up the cosplay supply what are you talking about.]

No, it would look great on you! It should only reach your knees, don't you think?

[Don't make her start giving you other things to try on. The urge is already great.]

[Action]

[cry_camellia]

[Litchiiii as much as she trusts you, she will never place any weight on your opinion on what counts as acceptable clothing. EVER.]

Yes, but... even then... I mean, what if it gets windy outside?

[That's exactly what she should do! You can't fight the urges, woman.]

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

[Don't be such a spoilsport, Tsubaki! Show off dem legs!]

It'll be fine, I'm sure. It doesn't get all that windy here too often, hm?

[wear it wear it wear it]

[Action]

[cry_camellia]

[Dem legs like being completely out of sight. They don't want to be exposed!]

It does sometimes, though. Maybe I should just... look for something else.
