004 [Something with a Bit of Style]

[unearthlysusan.livejournal.com]

[Susan has returned to the Plane after what may or may not have been a fairly long absence. Time is like that, especially when you're traveling through it rather erratically.

With her is a large wardrobe, the contents of which belongs to her roommate, friend and constant source of confusion, Zoe Heriot. She lifts out one outfit, frowns slightly, then returns it to the wardrobe. She doesn't quite dare to examine the contents on the TARDIS, in case Zoe herself - or, even worse, Jamie catches her - but it's probably safe on the Plane.

Probably.

The second outfit she removes is apparently equally unappealing, and, when she finally speaks, she is holding a third sartorial masterpiece.]

I don't think I'll ever understand 21st century fashion.

[smiles] I do not believe anyone understands 21st Century fashion, child.

[Bai detects clothes so of course she is drifting around] You don't own them?

[Brigitta is also around, staring at the third outfit curiously] I'll never understand fashion at all.

[a little horrified, because like hell his granddaughter is walking around in catsuits and short tight clingy things]

I'm hoping that means you won't be looking to Zoe for fashion advice.

[Susan shakes her head.] They belong to a friend of mine.

What do you think?

[unearthlysusan.livejournal.com]

Especially the people who make it up.

It doesn't look very practical, does it?

[unearthlysusan.livejournal.com]

Hello, Brigitta.

I've never really paid much attention to it, actually. I was just ... curious, I suppose.

[unearthlysusan.livejournal.com]

[A'wwwwh. It's a good job she's oblivious, really.]

I haven't asked her yet.

Is it really terrible?

[humanwaterdemon.livejournal.com]

[Bai tilts her head] ...Well, they aren't the height of elegance but they aren't too bad.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

[awwwww, yeah. I'm glad too, because he wouldn't mean to hurt her feelings]

I wouldn't say terrible, I suppose it's fine for her. Still, I think I quite like the way you dress now. Don't see any need for you to start walking around looking like someone else.

[Smile] Hello, Susan.

Well, being curious is hardly a bad thing, I suppose I should pay more attention really... Especially if Kirilli wants to take me to parties [her nose wrinkles slightly at the thought]

[unearthlysusan.livejournal.com]

[She'd be pleased that he cared enough to worry ... in a vaguely offended manner, anyway.]

Oh, that's not what I'm trying to do! But you should always be open to trying new things, shouldn't you?

[unearthlysusan.livejournal.com]

They aren't? [Susan has always considered Zoe fairly fashionable. Then again, she also felt the same way about Barbara and Ian, purely because she admired them.] Oh...

[unearthlysusan.livejournal.com]

What sort of parties? You should have a dress for things like that. Or a skirt. That's what the girls at school used to wear to go out.

[humanwaterdemon.livejournal.com]

They aren't too bad though, I wouldn't mind wearing them if I needed to.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

[Brigitta looks rather horrified at the idea] I... I don't know really, he jsut hinted that they'd probably be rather elegant.

[unearthlysusan.livejournal.com]

[Susan, on the other hand, smiles.] You'll certainly need a dress then.

[She turns to root through the wardrobe again, and produces this (http://www.shillpages.com/dw/padbuw45.jpg).]

Zoe doesn't have many dresses.

[unearthlysusan.livejournal.com]

Which do you prefer?

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

[Brigitta takes a step back, eyes widening] ...Are you quite sure?

[humanwaterdemon.livejournal.com]

[Bai tilts her head again and then nods] The one that you're holding.

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

Most garments human wear tend not to be, no. I do say some of those are particularly appalling, however.

[unearthlysusan.livejournal.com]

Not really. But it's the only dress she has.

I think I might have one? Would you like me to look?

[unearthlysusan.livejournal.com]

[The sparkly catsuit? Orly?]

I don't know if I'm brave enough to wear it.

[unearthlysusan.livejournal.com]

Zoe seems rather fond of his one... [she waves the infamous shiny catsuit] ...in particular.

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

Ah yes. I do remember that one. I never did understand the point in one as intelligent as she wearing something so terribly impractical.
