十二 ❀

[ phone ]

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...

[ 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. ]

Wow... Look, look! I think this one will really make jiejie fall for you! [ 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.]


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? [ 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. ]

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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. ]

[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.

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]

[identity profile] coolbowtie.livejournal.com 2011-04-18 12:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[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.

[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?

[identity profile] coolbowtie.livejournal.com 2011-04-18 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't be ridiculous, Charles. We're going to make you cool. Or at least, you're going to make me look less ridiculous.

[THE DOCTOR IS NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS FALL ALONE AND THIS IS MILD ENTERTAINMENT! Yes, we have him surrounded, but remember he is babbybat thing and can probably beat the crap out of... well at least the Doctor. Though he pauses for a moment because clearly, he has no idea what such a cultured thing like "white tie" is]

White tie? Why would you wear a white tie, that would look completely ridiculous.

[personal profile] encored 2011-04-18 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Good thing it isn't intended for use as a costume, then. And nothing could make you look less ridiculous, least of all me. [he's got his arms up like he's ready to punch someone!! except he wouldn't really because he's fond of you uncultured idiots, and any thought at trying to fend them off is momentarily put on hold anyway because the Doctor is even less cultured than he first thought.]

...Do you honestly not know that term?

[identity profile] coolbowtie.livejournal.com 2011-04-18 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
No. What does it mean? Because I've been all over the universe and never once worn a white tie, you know.

[AND TAKING OFF HIS STUPID HIPSTER SUNGLASSES AND TRYING TO PUT THEM ON CHARLES]

[personal profile] encored 2011-04-18 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Balls, formal dinners and the like are considered to be white tie and a literal one isn't required these days. Black ties are perfectly acceptable as long as you've a proper tailcoat. This is common knowledge, you've no excuse to be unaware of it if you've traveled the universe. [no, Charles, it's not really that common...

while talking he bats Taiwan's hands away but doesn't lean back quite in time to avoid the glasses, and they look just as ridiculous on him if not more so.]

[identity profile] coolbowtie.livejournal.com 2011-04-19 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
[The Doctor did listen but... he didn't actually care] Well, that's just human formalities for you. Besides, in some planets they have formal events entirely naked! Not even a tie at all.

[He grins back at Taiwan.] Dunno, don't think he'd be a very good pet. He's a bit of a grump/
encored: (pray let's have no words of this)

[personal profile] encored 2011-04-19 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
You know that but you didn't know of wearing the proper coat to dinner parties? [forever surrounded by classless idiots. AND YES SHE CAN but he is not going to be happy about it!! she is so lucky he likes her or heads would be rolling right now. as it is, he just kind of... tries to look as dignified as possible...]

Set me down or you'll be making a fine feast for the crows by morning. [so intimidating with his bigass hipster shades, being carried over a shoulder]

[identity profile] coolbowtie.livejournal.com 2011-04-19 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
It's alright, Charles. I'm right here with you suffering in agony. That's what boys do, stick together when it comes to girls. At least, I won't let you get it any worse than I have.

[Ruffles his hair!]
encored: (give thy thoughts no tongue)

[personal profile] encored 2011-04-19 09:27 am (UTC)(link)
[no no do you have any idea how hard it is to look dignified like this. he quickly smooths his hair back down in an attempt to keep at least some shred of it intact.]

I can hear everything you're saying, you know, and I shan't be referred to in such a manner. ...And you don't look like you're suffering quite enough. [takes the hipster shades off and attempts to shove them back onto the Doctor as soon as he's within arms reach...]

[identity profile] coolbowtie.livejournal.com 2011-04-20 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Good luck Charles because the Doctor is a tall guy and that would be quite a feat!. Aaand grinning broadly]

Yyeeah, someone's got to properly take her to the prom and between us, I think we'll manage to do it halfway decently.
encored: (appreciation is a wonderful thing)

[personal profile] encored 2011-04-20 09:51 am (UTC)(link)
You certainly aren't going to be impressing any princes with glasses like these, you know? [oh no, Taiwan why can't you be taller! after a couple of attempts he's too frustrated to try again and just chucks them far down the sidewalk because he is mature]

Halfway decent is being generous if you're involved.

[Carefully sidesteps the sunglasses before looking a slight bit pouty]

Oi, I can hear you from back here! And she doesn't mind the bowtie, in fact, I like she likes it. And why wouldn't she, bowties are cool. All I need now is the fez and it's the coolest look. Don't need these ridiculous shirts and jackets.

[A pause.]

Do you really know what she likes?
encored: (the best sometimes forget)

[personal profile] encored 2011-04-20 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I've done you a favor, you should be thanking me. [dusts his hands off like he's just gotten rid of something horrid and then looks at her suspiciously... or he would if he wasn't facing in the wrong direction.]

I don't trust either of you to make the proper decisions here.
