[the first thing that appears is a very elegant string of Japanese kanji. someone obviously doesn't give a fuck about this network's language abilities]

This is a literacy test. Do you pass?

[and then it (fortunately for you non-speakers) switches over to English before continuing onward]

An access code leading me to a secret forum? How quaint. I was almost expecting to be given a decoder ring for my troubles - or should I be expecting one in the mail now that I've made my presence known here?

But I suppose that doesn't matter very much. From what I've seen this board is filled with absolutely fascinating people of the highest intellectual caliber. I can see why we've all been thrown together here; every discussion I've seen has been absolutely riveting.

Hopefully my own contribution will be able to hold up to the impossible standards of my fellow readers. Prepare yourself, I'm about to launch the conversation topic!

How many of you are familiar with the Lolita style of fashion?

Ah, the tragic bachelor life of the upper crust. I'm sure by the end of it you'll be longing for some scarring imagery of middle-aged men tripping over themselves in kimonos.

Very tragic. The amount of grease that must be spoken makes me feel bloated for months afterwards. Not really; half the people there try to wear kimonos.

I've heard that charcoal works wonders for societal bloating; you may want to look into acquiring a bottle of it for such outings.

I'll probably skip out to go clubbing. Saves on trying to explain why I keep tossing charcoal in the faces of people I don't want to talk to.

I believe that such an action could be easily explained away as a new fashion trend, but who am I to stand in the way of neon lights and obnoxious techno music?

The last time I started talking about fashion trends was when I put on my sister's school uniform and held a concert singing Korean girl idol songs.

And the problem here is..?

A lot of dull questions that I ignored in favor of flirting with the rest of the band. I think at that point my sister took my school uniform and hung it outside the girl's locker room.

I'm still failing to see how this was anything beyond a successful night out, especially considering you apparently know how to navigate away from blisteringly dull inquiries.

I never said it was a bad experience, only that it was an experience.

And the only one that you've mentioned to me thus far that's worth repeating.

I'd invite you next time, but I think you're not old enough to get past the door.

The door isn't the only way in, and either way that's assuming that the man at the entrance isn't befuddled by my ensemble.

Yeah? Maybe we should try it. I'd like to see something other than the usual tiny skirts most people wear.

I can promise that no matter what outfit I choose from my closet I'll be standing out.

That alone makes me want to try it even more.

I'm never one to stand in the way of a little adventure.

Wanna match or want me to go for deconstructed traditional?

That is entirely up to you, although I have to say that it's been months since I've had a good opportunity to twin with someone.

Well, that means that we must match. So choose an outfit and I'll go along with it.

Well, if you insist.

[there's a small pause in her replies as she turns to regard her closet]

I'm thinking perhaps something like this, assuming it isn't too casual.

Casual is okay; I won't have to break out the feathered cape with the shoulder guards. The gold brocade isn't a match since it's base color is burgundy, although I do have a corseted piece that has a pretty simple design and mainly black with purple and blue.

Or do you just want to rummage through my closet? I'm sure I got a lot buried in there.

That might suit the spirit of adventure a bit better; there's nothing more daring than constructing an entire outfit from previously unknown articles of clothing.

I wouldn't be adverse to you doing that. It might work out better than something I've already worn to the clubs.

A fresh perspective is always useful in turning out something new and stylish, especially when said perspective is from someone with good sense.
