Green Is So Last Season [Open!]

[whining_unicorn]

Ever since Rarity popped, there was one thing on the ship which irked her most. The hideous colour of the plant suits. She disliked green a lot and she vowed to change the garment's colours. She had a handful of plant suits laid out on the table in front of her and she levitated one, eyeing the material and poking it with her hoof.

"I didn't know you could make clothes from this kind of material... Let's see what you're made of so I can change your colour."

It did appear to others that the unicorn was talking to an inanimate object.
 

((OOC: The mods have granted me permission to change the colour of the plantsuits for variety! Your characters can wear their favourite colours now, I guess? =D))

Keith was going for his usual jog, keeping himself in shape. He decided to check out a part of the city he hadn't seen yet, and came upon Stormwind Clothiers.

"Clothiers? They sell clothes?" Keith stopped a moment and looked down at the plant suit, the same one he had been wearing since he came here. "I guess I could use a new look." Keith entered the store and took a quick look around.

"Um, hello?"

[whining_unicorn]

"Oh, hello there! You've caught me at bad time. I was working on a new project turning this plantsuits into something more fashionable." Rarity explained and she eyed his plant suit.

"Good heavens, you're wearing one! I can offer to make an outfit for you that doesn't have to do with this leafy material."

[sky_high_king]

"Aheh, wow, that's just what I came in here for." Keith said with a nice warm smile, taking note that she was a pony but not saying anything for fear of being rude.

"It would be nice to have something like I had back home. Oh, my name is Keith." He offered his hand to Rarity, still smiling.

[whining_unicorn]

"I'm Rarity. It's nice to meet you, Keith." The plant suits were still glaring at her.

"Maybe we can help think of an outfit for you after I'm done with the suits."

[sky_high_king]

Keith eyed the plant suits and put a hand to his chin. "It's not that they're uncomfortable, they're very comfortable. They just need something to be more individual. What did you want to do to the suits?"

[elementofloyalty]

THUD!

...Rainbow Dash had gotten so distracted looking for Rarity that she'd forgotten to look where she was going. But this wasn't the first time she'd smashed into something at speed, and it sure wouldn't be the last.

A moment later she trotted up to the table, looking none the worse for wear. "Hey Rarity, can you make a suit that lets someone go into space?"

[whining_unicorn]

Rarity was startled by the loud thud and lost concentration, making the plant suit drop back on the table. "Ah, Rainbow Dash! What are you doing here?"

She blinked at the rainbow pony's question. "Space? The inky darkness of space? Why would somepony want to go to such a dreadful place?"

[elementofloyalty]

"Well, we ARE in it now. I don't know why she wants to go, I didn't ask." Details, details. Results were what mattered! "But I figured if anypony could make one, you could."

[whining_unicorn]

"She? Who is this pony? It's not any three of you, is it?" Rarity furrowed her brows with worry.

"I'm not sure how it's like in space though. I know a lot of protection is required."

[elementofloyalty]

"The big things is the lack of air, or at least that's what I hear from this girl. I met her down in the City, she has a giant robot that can destroy buildings. Faster than me," Rainbow Dash admitted. "But not with more style!"

[hit_girl_mindy]

OK, so she hadn't really gone to see any of the ponies yet, and that should be rectified. She wanted to go see Applejack, but then she remembered Rarity was technically the only pony on the ship who was the replacement for Rein, and for her regular civvie outfit, this might be a good thing. She WAS getting bigger and starting to fill out a little, which was a pain.

She entered the ship, sighing. "Hello?"

[whining_unicorn]

Rarity put the plant suit back down on the table. Maybe she should have placed the "Closed" sign on the shop front. "Hello there, welcome to Stormwind Clothiers! I'm sorry, you caught me at a slightly ruffled situation."

She attempted to straighten things up by arranging the plant suits neatly on the table.

[hit_girl_mindy]

"Really?" Well, might as well see if she could help. It's not like she had anything better to do anyway, right?

"What are you doing that has you all ruffled?"

[whining_unicorn]

The unicorn pointed to the plant suits on the table. "These plant suits have been rather bothersome. I've been attempting to change their colour. Green does not match well with everypony's skin tone."

[appletastic]

Applejack's missed her friend for a while. After one farm day (and a roll in the river as a concession to Rarity's desire for cleanliness), she trotted into the clothing shop, where she saw Rarity fussing with those weird green things. Applejack's had long since retreated to a little green band around her left foreleg, and she hardly thought about it.

But what was Rarity doing with them?

"What're you messing with, Rarity?"

[whining_unicorn]

"Oh hi, Applejack! I was attempting to change the hideous green colour of the plantsuit. Still learning more about the material it was made with though." Rarity replied, slightly confused by the structure of the outfit in general.

[appletastic]

"What else is there to see?" Applejack asks, poking at the little green band around her wrist. "It's green. It throbs. Smells like a leaf and grows and shrinks. Don't think I'll ever understand it."

Clearly Applejack is not an expert on fabrics. She just sees what she sees, leaning down and eying the suits suspiciously.

[whining_unicorn]

"Leaves eh? I know cotton plants are used to make cotton fabric but using leaves?" Rarity concentrated on the anatomy of a leaf to learn more about it.

"I wish Fluttershy was here. She could give me some guidance on nature."

[17thangel]

Maria finally took time to come down to the tailor area and poked her head in the shop with an apprehensive look.

"Hello? Is anyone in here?"

She was tired of the plant suit, it was chafey and itchy and green really wasn't her color at all, so it was time to rectify that.

[whining_unicorn]

Rarity was levitating the plant suit up and around when she heard a customer. Like clockwork, the pony trotted up to the girl without realizing that the suit was floating magically behind her. "Welcome to Stormwind Clothiers! How may I help you?"

[17thangel]

"I was told that there was a um... Pony here, who specialized in making clothes? Er, if they aren't here I can wait."

[whining_unicorn]

"There's only one pony who makes clothes on this ship and that's me. I'm Rarity." The white pony extended her hoof for a greeting while looking at the girl's plant suit.

"It just so happens that I'm attempting to change plant suit colours right now."

[monster_san]

Although Fuu had decided to help Maxine with the clothier's with mundane concerns like inventory, it wasn't necessary for her to be there each and every day (or the day-like chunk of time that the City had, anyway) so she only knew Rarity by sight.

When she heard the unicorn's voice, Fuu poked her head in the door with a friendly smile. "Oh, are you starting a new project, Rarity-san?" Were those plantsuits?

[whining_unicorn]

The voice was both foreign and somewhat familiar to her at the same time. She looked up to see a yellow haired girl standing at the doorway. Ah, no wonder the voice was familiar...

"Hello! You're Miss Fuu, right? Maxine told me that you were helping out around here."

The pony gave her a wide smile and she gestured to the table. "I plan to give these plant suits some colour."

[monster_san]

"Yes, that's right. I help with organizing things, mostly."

She approached the table, looking at the plantsuits. Fuu tended to wear her own under her clothing, with the legs shortened to hide under her skirt. "How are you going to do so?" she asked curiously, reaching out to brush her fingers against the strange material. "Will they take a dye?"
