Cosplay Maniacs [Open]

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

It had been an idle thought that started to grow.

Since the whole clothing-fighting naked disaster during the Nightmare King, Rein had been packing more than one set of plantsuit on her person. Even while the barrier jacket was nice and comfy, it was also impractical for every day life. As such, she had gone out hunting for a place and found what she was looking for. With a modern set of sewing materials, all she needed was cloth.

Cloth was a rare thing on Stacy, most of it pre-fabricated and brought up from the last big mission off world. As such, Rein had gone to W&P in search of said items. It had taken the better part of a week to find what she was looking for, and another three to four days hauling all of the cloth up, but the vast collection of cloth, lace and other fabrics were finally in place.

Switches were flipped and Rein sat down at the nearest machine, working on it. She had cast a minor animation spell on a couple of machines and they were automatically forming belts and sashes while the intricate needlework was up to her.

Soon though, she was busy working as she whistled a jaunty tune, ironically Whistle While You Work. The sign to the building was fresh and polished, reading Stormwind Clothiers and the outside of the building was wood-and-brick. The inside was meshed with old and new, mixed foot pedal and even small light armors.

Rein wore a little grin, a sign of victory as she held up her first creation, a pretty dress, pink and red and white with ruffles.

It was a dead ringer for Sakura Kinomoto's most iconic dress from her series.

Yes, Rein was making cosplay.

Beware the desu.

"I'm going to guess that's not for combat ops," Ben said dryly, stopping in front of the girl's shop.

"Hehe, well unless you want to look nice while going into battle," giggled Rein as she folded the dress and set it on the counter. "Are you new to the ship? I'm Rein."

[sithhavecooties.livejournal.com]

"Brand new," he said, peering into the shop. "I'm Ben Skywalker."

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

"Nice to meet you Ben," replied Rein, the name pinging onto her mind. She wanted so desperately to ask if he was related to the Skywalkers of Star Wars, but held back respectfully.

"Just looking around the city for the first time?"

[sithhavecooties.livejournal.com]

"It's my first time in this part," he shrugged. "It's pretty big. Lots of nooks and crannies to get into."

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

"Yes and there's a lot of places to see. Lots of culture for the most part and buildings of all kind. This seems to be a store from an old fashioned city, made of brick and wood."

Rein shrugged and grinned a little. "Is there anything you'd like me to make for you? I'm trying new things all the time."

[sithhavecooties.livejournal.com]

He frowned. "I don't have any credcoins on me."

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

"Oh no payment needed," offered Rein. "It's not like anyone charges for their services. I'd just be happy to get someone into clothing instead of a plantsuit once in a while!"

She was already thinking of possible outfits she could get Ben into.

[sithhavecooties.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," he said, a little surprised. "What's inconspicuous around here?"

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

"Hmm, well there's pants, boots, a nice shirt and maybe an accessory or two," mused Rein. "I picture you in a nice pair of tan pants, a muted blue shirt and oh! Maybe a cross accessory necklace too!"

[sithhavecooties.livejournal.com]

"Black is good," said Ben, cocking an eyebrow.

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

"Well black goes with everything though," protested Rein. "But maybe black LEATHER..."

[sithhavecooties.livejournal.com]

"Black and easy to move in," he countered.

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

"Linen and cotton, reinforcements on the arms," parried Rein. "I know you people get so athletic at times."

[sithhavecooties.livejournal.com]

"Hey," he protested. "We don't rough up our clothes on purpose."

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

"Not on purpose but lets face it, everyone's a little hard on their clothes." pointed out Rein.

[sithhavecooties.livejournal.com]

"I'll try to keep them in one piece."

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

Rein nodded. "Alright, black it is."

He never said how decorative it could be though. And she knew of a few outfits that would help.

[sithhavecooties.livejournal.com]

"And inconspicious," he reminded.

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

And inconspicuous. I can do that." said Rein, already drawing up plans. Close fitting, black, NO CAPES!

[sithhavecooties.livejournal.com]

"You do this a lot?" he asked, watching her sketch.

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

"I help Hayate-chan with her own outfit designs, and often do a little bit of my own." admitted Rein. "It's a lot of fun."

[sithhavecooties.livejournal.com]

"I guess there's a lot to do around here, if the ship sticks to the one-outfit-for-everyone thing."

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

"Yeah and there's quite a lot of cloth left that I can use to make things with." admitted Rein. "Though it takes a long time to haul them up from W&P."

[sithhavecooties.livejournal.com]

"W&P?"
