I believe that, though I somehow managed to avoid becoming a faerie, I will not be able to work in the Scavengers' Yard until this [pen taps] outfit goes away.

[A pause]

Do the names Gallifrey or Rassilon mean anything to anyone, besides myself?

I am sorry. I know that the outfits can be very uncomfortable.

I do not think I have heard of them.

[burnt_orangesky]

It is a ridiculous outfit. I do not understand why anyone in their right mind would ever willingly wear it.

I rather doubt anyone in Edensphere has aside from myself, but I had to ask. Thank you.

[spandexisyouth]

You saw what I was forced to wear!

You are welcome. One day someone else will know I am sure!

[burnt_orangesky]

True, this has significantly less ruffles than the thing you were dressed in. It also has significantly less cloth in general.

I certainly hope so.

[spandexisyouth]

I would like to not think about ruffles. Do you need a coat to put over it?

[burnt_orangesky]

It is entirely possible I would set it on fire. I did find a skirt I can wear, at least; I can manage with bare arms for a few days, much as I dislike it.

[spandexisyouth]

Fred?

You are on fire?

[burnt_orangesky]

Nothing dangerous, nothing that would hurt me. There is a contraption that is part of this costume; it keeps letting off sparks. It may be enough to set cloth on fire, but I am not willing to test to see if it truly does or not.

It is annoying and startling, but mostly harmless.

[spandexisyouth]

So you are sparking? Are you able to fix food and do other things that are normal?

[burnt_orangesky]

Yes, and I believe so. I just look very silly, that is all.

[spandexisyouth]

If you need help you only have to say so and I will help you!

[burnt_orangesky]

I will bear it in mind, thank you.

[Pause]

Ah, before I forget--I also will not be able to go running with you in the mornings until this goes away, thanks to these ridiculous shoes.

[spandexisyouth]

You are welcome!

Oh. I understand! Soon enough we will run together again!
