WEEK 3
[The past weekend has been a difficult one. With Valjean's murder and D-ne's brutal execution the monotony has been broken and it can be said the show is finally and truly underway.

When the performers emerge from their rooms on Monday morning the decor of the opera house has changed. Not drastically but someone was busy during the night with some redecorating. There are cobwebs draped over nearly everything, some of them with tiny plastic spiders stuck in the cotton webbing, and pumpkins of various sizes on the floor and on the tables. Some of the walls have been adorned with cartoon-ish paper skeletons and scarecrows and in the ballroom a poseable plastic skeleton has been posed at the piano looking ready to play. Someone's even set a bowl of candy on the counter of the merch booth.

But that's not all. There's a light coming from the now open doorway in the lobby that had been previously locked for the past two weeks. This new floor is similarly decorated but why not go have a look and explore for yourself?

Despite their losses, the show must go on after all.

Yeah, I'm not the best gardener in the world, but I'm so glad we actually have a garden here. It's just... nice to have a distraction, I guess.

[rockthistown]

Uh-huh. It's like me with all the clothes! All the good ones, anyway.

[dontfeedplants]

Oh yeah, you're into fashion, aren't you? I've never had good tastes in that sort of thing myself.

[Although Hime could probably tell from the outfits he would wear.]

[rockthistown]

It's simple if you put the effort into it! It's just that people decide that it's not for them and give up before they can.

[dontfeedplants]

I'm not that defeatist. [Yeah you are.] I just don't know where to start, I guess.

[rockthistown]

Just figure out what you like and what works for you! Don't just go for what's right in front of you.

[dontfeedplants]

... I guess I like sweaters?

[It's a start.]

[rockthistown]

Okay. How come? Do you like how they look?

[dontfeedplants]

[He shrugs.]

They're comfy?

[Sorry Hime, he's really not good at this.]

[rockthistown]

[groan] You sound like Megumi when she walked into a nice tea party with sweatpants. Let's start with the basics. What are the rules of fashion?

[dontfeedplants]

[Sweats.]

Have the money for clothes?

[rockthistown]

No! Well, yes, that's kind of a given, but what do you think are some basic things to follow?

[dontfeedplants]

I don't know. Make sure colors match?

[He is about 50% sure that he heard Audrey mention something like that in the past.]

[rockthistown]

That's important, of course. Colours, shapes, your silhouette, what's in the right seasons. But the most important thing is to care about it! And if you care about how you look, then you'll end up caring about the rest too, so it all works out.

[dontfeedplants]

It doesn't sound too hard when you put it like that... I guess I could care about it?

[He'll attempt.]

[rockthistown]

Don't worry! It's something like you get into. Like you already love plants! What can you tell me about those?
