[After no small amount of reluctance and waffling, ultimately Suzaku commits to a video post.

At first he's too close to the mirror for anybody to see much, apparently checking something, and then he takes a step back. That action allows for a clear view of the strange outfit he's just tried on.

He doesn't look entirely too comfortable in it, looking down at himself, over his shoulder, and tugging at what must be related to spandex]

Has anyone seen something like this?

[Suzaku is quick to amend that]

...Outside of an anime?

[He continues to shift about as though he's either uneasy or believes that eventually he'll stop feeling uncomfortable in the clothes. It's not long before he huffs out a sigh and gives up on that]

I can't imagine what the functional utility of this would be. Who designs something like this?

*Out*side an anime I think I've seen some videogames like that.

The only thing I can think of is "it's for showing off". You do look good in it.

[ex_elude798]

[He sighs because he did forget video games, only other place such a thing would make sense really.

Not that this could possibly constitute armor]

So it really is useless.

[Suzaku has not a clue how he should respond to looking good in this thing, nope]

Maybe it's a...

Military... gymnastic... uniform.

Or a... ceremonial military outfit.

It looks nice though.

Probably fun to make!

[Video] if this isn't ok I can change it!

[glorifiedtrash]

Yes. You should be careful; maybe you're an evil knight! Felt the urge to kidnap any princesses lately? ...Though, hunh. I didn't know we could get clothes, that's pretty handy.

[Kind of reminds him of an outfit his troupe used for the Huntsman in Snow White in their production if he's honest. But somehow he doesn't think they were all fairytale characters in their past lives. That'd be ridiculous, right? ]

Would a video game count?

Outside of that, it feels like it's a costume for something....

[video]

[boredallready]

Uhh... what about pictures of people dressing up like anime characters? They'd prolly be really jealous of that one, though...

Maybe you can just save it for next Halloween?

[espigeonage]

I wouldn't say that. You've already demonstrated, it's a great way to fish for compliments! ^_~

[ex_elude798]

That kind of thing is a waste of time.

[Not to mention the accompanying discomfort. It's one thing to do something impressive, another to just, you know, stand there]

[Video]

[ex_elude798]

I was hoping it'd seem less...elaborate...once I had it on.

[Looking himself over again, he's quite sure that, no, it looks as festive as before. Possibly more so]

Doesn't seem like any military uniform I'm familiar with.

[Video] everything's okay with Zelos

[ex_elude798]

I refuse to be an "evil knight." Screw that.

[Nopenopenope he declines to be that kind of person.

But Zelos isn't completely wrong, not that Suzaku realizes]

I've heard of people getting different kinds of coats, but this thing...

[It's so flamboyant why?]

Video

[ex_elude798]

It could happen, not that this thing'd constitute armor.

[Because really, he's convinced it's the futuristic cousin of spandex at this point]

Not sure what'd demand a costume like this.

[video]

[ex_elude798]

[Just...makes a sour face]

I don't think I could go out in this kind of thing.

[Video]

[originaloddcouple]

Well, perhaps it's from an obscure culture!

With happy people and traditions!

Embrace the culture!

Give it the attention it deserves!

[Video]

[ex_elude798]

You think it's got to do with a different culture?

[Staring down at this strange getup again, he mumbles to himself]

I guess that other guy had a similar style...

[Video]

[originaloddcouple]

Potentially!

Anything's possible!

It could probably be whatever you want it to be!

Just use your imagination!

[Video]

[ex_elude798]

I'd rather know its actual purpose, if it's even got one.

[It just looks so weird]

[espigeonage]

Oh? Well, to each their own. You did choose to get video of yourself in it instead of draping it on a chair or something.

[ex_elude798]

...

[Will not own up to hoping it'd look cooler than it seemed.

Will also not admit that he was thinking maybe it'd be some kind of pilot gear.

Until he realized it's just far too ridiculous]

I was...curious.

[He will admit this much]

[espigeonage]

Lol. Well, if it answers your curiosity here: it looks totally absurd, but you wear it well. Could always be worse!

I got a bit of clothing lately too, but it's not something that can be worn by itself.

[ex_elude798]

This really does just look like cosplay.

The thing is, I remember being in it. I remember talking to some guy in something equally ridiculous.

[He doesn't touch on what else he saw when he got this weird thing, though he tugs at the close-fitting material again]

Did you get a coat or something?

[espigeonage]

Huh. Maybe fashion sensibilities are different there? A lot of places are like that.

No, no. Here, it's these black straps. I had to adjust it a little to get it to fit, I'm a little broader in the chest than the other me.]

[Julien sends a picture of himself from the neck down in an off white polo with a light jacket, open to reveal a harness thing. More straps are visible than in the picture, and small compartments, and little loops and snaffles like it's a belt.]

[ex_elude798]

Other you?

[He's still having a terrible time accepting that they're supposed to be anyone but themselves, regardless of how real some things seem]

Seems like the sort of thing a cop might wear.

[Voice]

[espigeonage]

Yeah, the Apostle's really not... much like me at all. Hahaha.

Maybe! I know he's an "agent", whatever that means. Possibly spy! That would fit with the stealth weirdness.

[Voice]

[ex_elude798]

Guess it would explain a few things. But isn't it strange to think of yourself as some other person?

[espigeonage]

Not at all! He's not "myself". I don't think like him. I don't do his kinds of things. He is some other person.
