Phase Seven: Passing through

[emorangerpink]

1.
[A dose of Rim's coffee may have revived Laura enough to help out against HALO and Alessandra's strongest tea may have kept her going through a little of the post-victory jubilation, but it didn't take long for fatigue to return in force and only now, hours later, has she revived enough to potter about the ship looking for people to congratulate

Just a little. But it gives us a chance to set up a bit! [Dita smiled at Laura, gesturing her inside.]

[emorangerpink]

Er...

[Laura takes the pink one, of course, giving it a pretty good inspection in trying to figure out how it works. Dressing up? Great! Being dressed up by Dita? Cause for a little more nervousness.]

Like this? [She does her best to go through the motions without actually taking off or putting on anything. It's not a bad guess, but it doesn't quite add up.]

[betterthnaliens]

Guess that leaves me with that...

[And Christine takes the blue one. A little self conscious, she opts to just keep her own clothes on as she fiddles with the robes.]

Uh... like this? I... think?

[chases_aliens]

Yeah that's how! Here let me help you all. [And one by one, she helped the girls into their kimono.] You all look so cute!

[curseu_reflexes]

G-gah!

[Yeah, Julia expresses a bit of surprise, getting some 'Nam-tier flashbacks to when Alessandra felt her up. Still, she's grateful all the same when she finally gets dressed up in one of them.]

A-ah... not bad at all!

[emorangerpink]

[Laura's blushing enough to quite possibly power a mech by the time Dita's done, but a little careful exploratory movement proves that the kimono both looks and feels pretty nice on her. Plus, now she dares to look around at the others.]

"Not bad"? You look beautiful!

[betterthnaliens]

H-Hey! Watch it!

[And Christine's fidgeting as Dita's fitting her into her own kimono, face turning bright red as she did. Catching notice of Laura's comment, she couldn't help but notice Julia and...

...yeah, the blushing just got brighter.]

Y-Yeah...

[chases_aliens]

Everyone looks amazing! I knew those kimono I found on the ship would be perfect for all of you! C'mon, sit down and lets have some tea then and do fun things!

[curseu_reflexes]

Right...

[Though she can't help but see that Christine's face is looking red.]

Christine? Are you okay? You're looking a little flush.

[emorangerpink]

Seems like you're already having fun, Dita.

[And Christine's embarrassment is hard to overlook - well, at least Laura has company in her "misery".]

[betterthnaliens]

I-I'm fine! Really!

[Liar.]

[chases_aliens]

Tons of fun! Dressing up for things like this is a great way to have fun after all.

[Curious about Christine's expression. And she giggles.]

[curseu_reflexes]

[Well at any rate Julia's settling in now, and looking rather happy now too.]

I have to be honest... I haven't done anything quite like this in a while. I had friends in the Seattle Colony and we'd sometimes do stuff like this, but that certainly has been a long time ago...

[She closes her eyes and sighs.]

I can't believe I've been on the Chalice for so long... it's nearly been a while year.

[emorangerpink]

It's the other way around for me. I... didn't have many friends back home. I only did this sort of thing once I was at SECT... though that wasn't exactly recent, either...

I can't believe I've only been here for half a year. So much has happened.

[betterthnaliens]

I just got here, so... [She just shrugs]

You guys are lucky, though. Then again, I'm... not one for these sorts of things...

[chases_aliens]

Well it's a good time to learn then! [Setting out the tea, she started making it.] The trick to good tea is waiting for the leaves to float to the top of the pot.
