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.

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

"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?"

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

"Weapons and Possessions," explained Rein. "It's where you can find all sorts of things there. I found these huge rolls of fabric there."

[sithhavecooties.livejournal.com]

"Haven't heard of it," he said. "You're saying there's an unlocked weapons stash somewhere?"

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

"Mostly unlocked. Stacy has the final say on who gets what, and really dangerous stuff or powerful items are in the higher up security tiers. You'll have to request for those. And there's piles of unclaimed items as well as lockers designated to the various people who have them," said Rein.

[sithhavecooties.livejournal.com]

"Huh." There wasn't anything he needed desperately, but a set of comlinks could be useful, and cameras and probes might be able to get into a few places he couldn't. Though, since he wanted to investigate the ship itself, wrangling access was probably not happening. "How do you make that sort of request?"

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

"You ask someone, usually in the command staff for permission to go into the higher up Weapons and Possessions. However if it's just mundane items you need, you can go to the area itself and look around. There's enormous piles just waiting for someone."

[sithhavecooties.livejournal.com]

"I don't think I've met any of the command staff."

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

Rein giggled. "Well you have now. I'm Internal Communications. So in essence, if you need something, I could ask Leon or whoever and we'll get you access to the higher end equipment. Sound fair?"

[sithhavecooties.livejournal.com]

"Sure -- I'll let you know if I think of anything." He folded his arms over his plantsuit and continued. "How's the ship's command broken down?"

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

"Well there's the captain, Captain Kirk, and then there's the bridge crew, and the department heads. The heads often are working closely with command on various issues."

[sithhavecooties.livejournal.com]

"I worked as a security officer for a few months," Ben said blandly, not bothering to mention that it had been a secret police force responsible for deporting, killing, and torturing Corellian civilians. "I heard Leon Kennedy's in charge of that here."

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

"You'd have to ask Mr. Kennedy then," said Rein thoughtfully. "He's got a fairly strict set of guidelines for approving newcomers to security's roster."

[sithhavecooties.livejournal.com]

"'Eighteen and up'," said Ben, rolling his eyes in obvious disapproval, "which is why I'm interested in the rest of them, too."
