[Video] Fashion Disaster
[In light of all this... mess, really, going on with everyone's minds (it did seem to be contagious), perhaps now was not the time to explore new things. Perhaps now was the time to really hold in place what one's personality ought to be, and to cling to it.
Despite that, Jehan and Courfeyrac have decided upon now to finally take the foray into modern fashion. Jehan can't say he's thrilled with the result, but the clothing items they have lifted from the Cyllene at least fit... for the most part.
Being rather dismal with technology still, he'd meant to put in a call to Combeferre, whom he thought might be amused with the antics (...and might tell them what he planned to do with those dresses, finally.)
Instead, network, have a man in his early twenties, from 1832, in front of the camera wearing a streamlined, white jacket. Which might not have been so bad, if he had not insisted on wearing it with a bright tie, which he had fashioned into a bow around his neck.
Courfeyrac had done... something to his hair, with some form of goo he'd found in one of the bathrooms on the other ship, and he had not liked it. It was sticky. He'd tried to comb it out with his hands, and the result was that it now more-or-less stood straight up, tilted to the side violently, and had frozen like that, as if in shock.]
Is this-- is it recording?
[A pause.
He had no time to be embarrassed. He had a few questions.]
This is absurd. The buttons on these costumes-- they have no button holes, the half of them. Are they meant to connect to nothing?
[In his attempt to figure out why on earth a jacket would have buttons that were only for show, he's fastened two into the same hole, in a few places; with a herculean amount of effort.]
And some of these pockets are stitched shut.
Is all clothing like this, past our day? Do men really wear pants quite so tight; and how do you go about fitting suspenders onto pants that have no buttons in the back?
[He has figured belts... to an extent. As the pants he'd taken sat much lower than he was used to, he'd used the belt to fasten them nearly to his waist, putting it through only one loop and pulling tight. Over the jacket.
The result is more or less a disaster, and he'd readily admit it leaned towards more; the clothes simply didn't make sense.]
Really, I cannot say I imagine I am wearing this... absolutely correctly. But is it made correctly? These are pieces we have found, and I've seen all manner of clothing on board this vessel.
Are such things really comfortable? I can't say they seem useful, exactly...
Are all pockets in the future stitched shut?
[Someone has to ask the Serious Questions, Tranquility.]

[Shocking revelation there, of course.]
Oh-- well. Yes. I agree. It's just, you know. To try it out, I suppose? It was available, and Reynaud is somewhat fascinated by fashions as a rule. And we've limited things to wear as it is... though, for the foreseeable future, I think I will be taking your advice.
I am much more comfortable in my own things.
no subject
Now then... do you need some help with your hair?
no subject
I believe my hair to be beyond help, currently. Your offer is exceedingly brave, however.
no subject
no subject
But I'm not entirely sure how to get it through hair quite so stiff? One does not wait for it to soften, first? It wasn't stiff before, it became so.
no subject
...Probably...
no subject
I'll give it a try, then. If I do not survive the attempt, I leave behind all of my hair gel to yourself, my friend. Use it sparingly, and only in situations of dire need.

THAT ICON THOUGH. CRYING.
...Do you think it very possible to gel someone's hair to a pillow? I ask for curiosity's sake, only.
[And because really, Courfeyrac might deserve it.]
it is a very special icon reserved for very special threads
So long as it's not on me, of course.
I am honoured. Albert, plz.
Aside from having not yet introduced me to your dearest friend, who has arrived.
Perhaps I ought to introduce myself in this state?

[But he bites his lip and looks down at his own joke, snorting lightly at Albert's, and lifting his shoulders.]
...All the same, perhaps some other time.
no subject
Never because of that, Jehan. If anything, I'm the embarrassing friend.
no subject
My own friends are very fond of you, you know.
no subject
no subject
You should only be judged by your own actions. And I have never seen you falter in your goodness.
no subject
You can't say that. My father... is a traitor to all of France.
no subject
Besides, I have already said it. So that is most certainly that.
no subject
You're a good friend, Jehan Prouvaire.
