[The post opens inside of some swank hipster store in the mall, with ZATANNA outside of the dressing rooms, looking a little impatient.] Come on out! I'm sure you look wonderful!

[ and from inside the dressing room all that can be heard is the muffle of ALLEN'S voice; ] You’re filming this, aren’t you? I’m going to stay in here.

[Zee shrugs.] Oh, well. I guess I'll just have to go get pretzels and a smoothie myself.

[ a pause while Allen seriously deliberates on his priorites—but then, why can’t he have both? ] Can you bring them over here?

I will, but you have to come out to eat it.

[ deadpan ] No.

[With a frown, she leaves and comes back with enough for the both of them and stands right outside of the door so he can smell the pretzels.]

[ smell... the pretzels. he pokes his head out the tiniest bit, turning in the direction of the food. ]

[Zee shakes the pretzel in one hand and the smoothie in the other. Come to deliciousness...]

[ and without thinking anymore Allen makes his way carefully (read: flies) out of the fitting room, going right for the food without thinking. ]

[He is wearing a red and white-striped t-shirt and a pair of short black shorts with neon-colored, geometric shapes all over them.] Oh, you look fantastic, Allen! I knew these were perfect for you!

[ he feels like he will care about this in a moment, but he needs to finish this food first. ]

[While he's busy eating, Zatanna pulls out a neon green fannypack and loops it around his waist before coming around to look at her handiwork again, admiring the clothing as if he's the best dressed in all of Death City.] Doesn't he look great, everyone?

[ and with the last bite of pretzel gone (this whole thing took about 45 seconds, Allen suddenly realizes what's going on. ] What are you doing?! This isn't what I meant when I said I needed help finding new clothes. [ -- and turns to make his way back behind the curtain without another word. ]

[Zatanna doesn't seem to understand why he's so embarrassed and comes back to the door, knocking on it several times before the feed finally ends.]

Comments

action; on my own post this is mildly awkward...

[hexappeal]

[STILL KNOCKING. POSSIBLY MAKING A BIT OF A SCENE.] Allen? Allen, come on out! The camera's off! Come on!

action; wow lucy

[clowned]

I need to change first.

action; no you

[hexappeal]

Well, make sure to fold them nicely. I'm going to buy them for you. [She sounds so pleased! How could you tell her "no," Allen? :(]

action; what no

[clowned]

[ the sound from the other side of the curtain is clearly one of disagreement. ]

That won't be necessary.

action; yes you can't deny it/me

[hexappeal]

Really? You haven't been here that long. You should let me pay. [Because it can't possibly be that he doesn't like them, right?]

(1/???)

[ioudas]

What's going o-

(2/???)

[ioudas]

What are you wearing?

(3/3)

[ioudas]

(laughing. ow it hurts to laugh.)

[hexappeal]

What's so funny?

[ioudas]

Oh no, nothing.

[hexappeal]

I know. Because there's nothing funny about what's going on.

[clowned]

This wasn't my idea!

[ioudas]

I gotta see this.

[Voice] Forgot Anise had a mission >_>

[yamagishi]

I think he looks just fine?

permavideo; good thing i'm a little slow and didn't reply yet! c:

[hexappeal]

Exactly! I don't know what his problem is!

permavideo; \o;;

[yamagishi]

I guess he's just embarrassed or he's just shy?

I can understand why he might.

o/

[hexappeal]

It would seem so. In hindsight, perhaps I wouldn't have posted a video of him in his new clothing on the network...

permavideo here too;

[clowned]

I'm not shy!

voice.

[yoichi]

...the range of colors in that clothing is certainly impressive.

[hexappeal]

[Her shoulders rise as she claps her hand together. There's a pleased little squeak before she actually speaks.] I know? Aren't they great?

permavoice

[yoichi]

It's certainly — eyecatching.

[hexappeal]

It's very stylish!

[clowned]

That's one way of putting it.

permavoice

[yoichi]

How would you put it?

permavideo;

[clowned]

[ um. he doesn't want to hurt Zee's feelings, but there's no way he's buying any of this. ]

Not comfortable.
