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. ]}

[sticks his tongue out at her, so mature]

I'm still in my prime, actually. No arthritis to speak of. Besides, you forget all that when you're dancing.

[camealong.livejournal.com]

Right, I bet you've been saying that since you were just a hundred. [She wrinkles her nose at him in return. Paragon of maturity.] Where'd you learn to dance, then? The styles have changed, you kn — Wait, no, they haven't. What did they dance in the 50s? Swing? Are you swing dancing at prom?

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

Dunno! I'm going to dance however I feel like. Or maybe learn a new move or two from the natives.

What's swing?

[camealong.livejournal.com]

Nothing you need to worry about, forget I brought up. [Something that would be dangerous in his hands, she almost says, but that's a vast and endless category in itself.] So, taking your lady to the prom, are you?

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

[Turns a bit red, like a little schoolboy]

Well, I haven't... asked her yet.

[camealong.livejournal.com]

[Tsk, tsk.]

You can't wait for the last minute, you need to give her time. To shop.

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

...Shop?

[camealong.livejournal.com]

For a dress. The same way you're finding a suit, she's going to need a dress, and these things take time.

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

I'm going to get someone to make her one.

See? I can figure out these romantic things if I need to. Quite simple once you think about it.

[camealong.livejournal.com]

Alright, sure, that's romantic, but if she doesn't like it?

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

...Why wouldn't she like it?

..Oh, right, because I can never figure out what she wants.

[camealong.livejournal.com]

Also because you think bowties are in.

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

Bowties are cool. And she likes a man in a bowtie.

[No she doesn't, Doctor...]

[camealong.livejournal.com]

[A snort.] No, she doesn't. I haven't even met her yet and I already know that.

— Why haven't I met her? Afraid of what we might get up to, us girls?

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

Well, when you meet her, you'll see how wrong you are. So there.

[He shifts a bit, scratching at his neck where the tag from his new clothes rub]

Maybe a bit.

[camealong.livejournal.com]

Typical bloke. How come even aliens are all such typical blokes?

[She then circles around behind him, sizing up the suit from behind, from the side, and finally from the front again.]

I think we have a winner. Yep, definitely go with this one.

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

[Plainly sulks at her]

It's horribly itchy.

[camealong.livejournal.com]

[She appears unconvinced.]

What, and tweed isn't?

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

Tweed is excellent.

[He looks down at himself, as though he can't really believe what he's wearing.]

At least Charles would approve of this.

[camealong.livejournal.com]

[Eyebrows: furrowed.] Charles who?

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

Charles! He's a proper gentlemen. And he's one of Sen's citizens, so he's like family to her.

I'm quite fond of him.

[camealong.livejournal.com]

Oh, just look at you, worried about pleasing the in-laws.

I bet he's got great style, then, huh? If you won't trust my instincts, trust his.

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

...I wouldn't use in-laws.

And besides, I trust you! You're going to be there as well, right?

[camealong.livejournal.com]

What, at the prom? [She shrugs.] You know what, yeah, I think I will. Wouldn't want to miss you bustin' a move.
