My dear Tranquility, if you would be so kind as to indulge me in another question - quite different from my last one but no less genuine.

[Something milder than anger flashes in Ichabod's eyes. He tucks a strand of long hair behind his ear before continuing.]

Is there anyone who thinks that these trousers, these...so-called skinny jeans are appropriate for a grown man!

[He holds them up, giving them a shake. See how angry they make him!!!]

Why the ship would choose to gift them to me can be nothing more than a cruel jest, but if anyone should like to have them, for whatever reason, you may collect them from me at once.

[Pepper's lips are pursed as she evaluates the skinny jeans and Ichabod.]

I think we may have to suspend judgment until you're seen wearing them.

[Shh, she's totally not looking for a cheep laugh.]

[enlistments]

Madam, I have tried these on willingly only once. And once was quite enough.

[culver]

They do look a little funny on boys.

[enlistments]

Well, it's good to know that at least someone agrees. Maybe hope for common sense isn't lost, despite their popularity.

[boogiewoogiebugleboy]

I think you're a little too old for skinny jeans, Ichabod.

[enlistments]

And they would look less foolish on a younger man?

[Eponine has never seen a garment quite like that in her life. And she's curious.]

skinny jeans?

They're trousers. Very small trousers. Perhaps they would fit my brother. [Actually, they'd probably fit Eponine, if she weren't so short.]

[enlistments]

Exactly how old is your brother, my lady?

Skinny ... jeans?

[enlistments]

Please don't trouble yourself with the idea of them, my friend. I assure you they're not worth the headache.

They're no more outlandish than when men wore hose, really.

[Says the person whose clothes mostly look however she wants them to]

[enlistments]

Breeches would've looked a bit foolish without them, frankly.

[unbalancer]

[ She's not laughing. She's fighting back the laughter. ] What makes them so inappropriate?

[ video ]

[enlistments]

For one thing, they are neither comfortable nor modest, which is actually two arguments against them.

[kutte]

Shit, there's no reason for a grown man to be wearing skinny jeans.

[enlistments]

And yet they make them in men's sizes, if they can be called that. There should be a law against it.

[That's it, he's writing a letter to his Congressman just as soon as he gets back.]

Fashion's fickle like that. [ she's kind of smiling. just a little. ] Don't take it personally, it doesn't seem like this place has the best sense of humour.

( video )

[enlistments]

Yes, well. I suppose it is better than finding a head in my locker. Though the ship wouldn't be the first to make sport of my fashion sense, as it were.

[needsheadphones]

Way better than all the pants everyone wore that had holes ripped in them for fashion.

[enlistments]

...You must be joking.

[redheaded_rock]

Well, I don't know. I kinda like the look myself.

[enlistments]

Is there any particular reason why?

[Wait.]

If this is about a man's 'assets', I'd rather not know.

[ oh. my. god. lizzie's mouth quirks as she desperately tries to hold in a laugh.

which somehow she manages to swallow, for politeness' sake. but the amusement lingers in her voice when she pipes up. ]

I might ask if you had a mischievous sibling here whom might be playing a jest upon you.

[ but that isn't likely. ] In any event, I see your hand is looking better!

[ yes, change of topic is much easier than asking if he truly does have a sibling here because that's a bit nosy to ask a man tbh. ]

[enlistments]

[Oh, he appreciates that subject change so much. And the swallowed laughter that Ichabod just caught a hint of.]

As good as new, my dear lady, thanks in large part to your attention.

oi oi.

i'm afraid they cycle back in in 2133. :)

i'll swap if you'll throw in a pair of shoes.

You know the future?

[If ever there was a time when Ichabod was tempted to just let the world end...]

[dislimb]

...They're pretty common fashion where I'm from.

[enlistments]

If I may, what year do you come from?

[consequence]

[Her brow furrows, mostly because of how upset he is over them.]

They're just pants. You don't have to wear them.

[enlistments]

My lady, I'm not sure I could even if I wanted to. The fit seems far more appropriate for a boy half my age.

[bitchcrafting]

Generally, guys don't wear them to look appropriate.

audio;

[enlistments]

Yes, I've since learned that it's to look somewhat attractive. Makes no sense.

[nightblogs]

excuse u
some guys can pull it off
not our fault ur ass is big

[enlistments]

My - I beg your pardon.

( voice. )

[overthought]

Skinny jeans? I think it's supposed to be a compliment on your figure, I'm sure.

( voice. )

[enlistments]

They perpetuate a figure that no grown man should have to begin with.
