Hi! If anyone still wants to try out the bubble tea on the menu at the cosplay cafe, they'll only be on the menu while stocks last, so if you're too late after you hear this, that's not my fault anymore, okay?

But hey, I heard something about a prom? Wah, it sounds like so much fun! Who's going? I think I am. Yep, definitely. I think it'd be really cool if I got to go with prince or something like that. Like the ones in Goong. _{[Now she's a little depressed.]} ... only Korea knows what I'm talking about again... _{[Then she remembers!]} Ah, are there any princes in Mayfield? Can anyone ask for me!?

I have to get something to wear, too. Mm, there's so much to do, I wonder if I can make it...

<sub>[ action ]

[ Prom means snazzy clothes. The Doctor does not have any. Taiwan knows this. So later on in the day after her phone call, you'll find the two doing the following: ]

[ A Taiwan pulling the Doctor by the wrist as they go window shopping. ]</sub>

Wow... Look, look! I think this one will really make jiejie fall for you! <sub>[ She taps on the glass. What she's pointing at looks awfully flashy... ]

[The Doctor is being pulled, perhaps slightly against his will, and looking confused as to how the hell he got into this situation.]</sub>

Are you quite sure that's what she likes? I mean... I don't know, does anyone even know what she likes? ...Is that something that people like? Because it's really... _[awful] Well, I mean it's... very... really... something.

It'll make the Doctor really something!

Well, something is a word for it.

_{[ B In one of the shops, picking out suits for the Doctor. ]}

I saw JJ Lin wear something like this once! But he's not very cute. _{[ Puts that one away, gets another. ]} This will make you look like Takeshi Kaneshiro!

I have absolutely... no idea what or who that is. And honestly they don't sound too impressive. Bowties on the other hand are very impressive, especially when you wear them while saving the universe. So what I'm saying is, I think I'm already quite impressive. ...Oh, you're not listening at all are you? Fine then.

_{[ C Taiwan depriving the Doctor of his clothes and his pretty cool bowtie. While she's going around looking for more clothes for the Doctor to try on (oh dear lord) she's made him stand in the middle of the store. Shirtless. ]}

It'll help you build more confidence! Wait there, okay? <sub>[ TAKING HER TIME LALALA ]

[ The Doctor is watching her closely. Really he doesn't seem all that embarrassed! He's more cold than anything as he occasionally shivers and crosses his arms over his chest and is totally oblivious to the scandalized reactions of any drones. He seems a bit agitated though whenever he loses sight of Taiwan. ]</sub>

Oi! Do you still have my tweed and bowtie? I had to regain those you know. You can't just toss them away. Seriously, don't even think about it. I'm out of things to trade back to the Post for my tie. Besides, tweed is classic, you know.

...And again with the not listening. Aside from being extremely handsome, why did I end up with this face being the one that no one ever listens to!

_{[ D Alternatively, hipster Doctor. ]}

Aiya! Doctor, you look really cool now!

_{[ The Doctor inspects his clothes, looking rather miserable, but doing his best to hide it and failing rather spectacularly. So really he's simply sulking. ]}

Are you sure this is what normal humans wear? Because I'm not really feeling very... cool at the mo. More like... really really... ridiculous. Honestly, I think she's going to laugh. I think I'd have much better luck with the bowtie. I was wearing one when Marilyn Monroe started to fancy me, you know. And Marylin, she knew what was cool.

_{[ Taiwan puts her hands on her hips. You know she means business when she does that. ]} Doctor! Are you really going to let yourself get hung up over that bowtie?



_{[ ooc: Joint post with coolbowtie. Taiwan and the Doctor will be replying to action threads separately by default. If you prefer a three-way thread, please say so. ;u; There may be threadjacking from either of us as well. ]}

[appears behind them from the ether like the creepy child he is]

That's hideous.

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

He said it. Not me.

[encored]

You agree with me, do you not?

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

...

Well, yes.

But-

[encored]

So there isn't a need to mince words, then. [gosh Doctor, don't you know that tact is so yesterday.] What are you shopping for, anyway?

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

I have no idea. Something called Prom. Which I'm hoping is a really cool event where people get to show off really cool stuff and it will be entertaining.

Somehow, I doubt it though.

[encored]

Are you truly going to waste your time on that? I can tell you with full certainty that you shan't find an ounce of entertainment there.

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

I don't know, I think she expects of me. And at least it's better than doing nothing like I've been doing lately. Besides, I'm already thinking of ways to make more interesting.

...Most of them involve alcohol in some manner.

[encored]

Ah, if that's the case, do take a camera with you. I'd hate to miss out on you embarrassing yourself horribly and in a very public manner.

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

Why don't you bring the camera and take all the pictures yourself? Or at least help me cause a bit of trouble.

[encored]

[thinks about that for all of two seconds]

I could make some time in my schedule. No sense missing out on a perfect opportunity to watch idiots squirm. [his definition of 'a bit of trouble' may be slightly different]

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

Perfect! Though I'm not sure about squirm, I'd prefer run. Never had a dull night that involved running. And if not, someone needs to cause a bit of trouble.

[encored]

Running is perfectly fine, too. So long as there's something to keep it from being a completely dull mess with horrid music, I'll be pleased. [he is looking forward to this already]

[naicha]

It looked good on Show Luo.

Don't listen to him, Doctor! He's got a hundred years of trends to catch up on.

[encored]

That's nonsense. Class and style after the Edwardian period went downhill quite rapidly, nothing after it is worth looking at.

[naicha]

I dunno, if my boyfriend had a cravat, I think I'd break up with him... _{[ twiddles fingers ]}

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

[AND HERE THE DOCTOR WILL SNIGGER LIKE THE HYPOCRITICAL BASTARD HE IS]

[encored]

That's because you [POINTS AT TAIWAN] have horrendous taste no doubt shaped by one hundred years of pop culture drivel and you [POINTS AT THE DOCTOR] wear tweed. You've no room to laugh.

[naicha]

At least I'm not the weird one here. Ah, but I think Charles should go to Akihabara someday! Cosplay's very in right now, you know, so you'll fit right in with all the geeks... _{[ Taiwan you are pretty weird yourself ]}

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

[Seems only amused by Charles' jabs!]

...I think Charles the one you should have attacked and dragged on this... trip. At least tweed is this century. In fact, I think it's considered retro now. Retro cool.

[naicha]

Haha, maybe he should join us! It'll be killing two worms with one bird!

[encored]

Coswhat- [oh, how did this get turned around so quickly...]

There isn't a need for that, and you've the saying wrong. Two birds, one stone, the latter of which I'll use to beat some sense into both of your idiot heads if you continue to slander a fine style. There will never be a time when tweed is more desirable than gabardine. [yes this argument is seriously happening]

[naicha]

_{[ pulls the Doctor closer so she can tell him in a loud whisper: ]} I'll take his arms, you take his feet.

_{[ She gives Charles the sweetest smile as she moves to place herself behind him. ]}

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

[OH FINALLY, SOME FUN. Unlike Taiwan, the grin on the Doctor's face is borderline evil. He too advances on Charles.]

Dunno mate, you might look excellent in tweed and a bowtie. Let's see.

[encored]

[they both get A Look™ and he puts his back to the building because he will not be carried off by tweed and hipster bandits!!]

You shan't get me into anything tweed unless you're putting my corpse in a suit of it. [...a little overdramatic but fashion is serious business. or he just feels like pitching a fit for no reason.] If anything, the two of you should be listening to me. Dances are white tie occasions, are they not?
