[Video] / [Action] Cloud Nine Fashion Karaoke Nights?! Yes.

[doubleppk]

[Option A: Fujiko struts about Cloud Nine like she owns the place. Which, she kind of does, if you count theft as ownership, and if you count Luceti as the kind of place where things can actually be stolen. She has set up the small stage so that the piano is pushed back and it looks more like a model runway. Including stage lights. There's a reason for this. She then struts out in high heels and a blue leather catsuit. Sup Luceti? You've just become her private/public audience for a model show. Aren't you privileged?]

What do you think? Blue with these heels? [The heels in question are red, and meant for evening gowns. Fail. In any case, she struts back, flips her hair, ducks behind a curtain, and comes out again in a red catsuit, though same heels.]

Or perhaps these~? [Strut strut strut. And once again she goes back. This time to a black catsuit and green army boots. Someone help her learn how to match clothes. It might also help to teach her that leather catsuits are not meant to be worn every single day of the year. That's gonna be difficult though, because apparently she found dozens. Yup, Fujiko is in her own little personal paradise, and enjoying showing off the more exotic ones like so. Good luck to you all.]

Oh! That gives me a great idea! [She says, like this was totally impromptu and not at all planned. Uh-huh. Suuuure.] We should have a fashion night here at Cloud Nine once a month! Everyone's invited! And then afterwards we can do karaoke! Doesn't that sound fun? [Huh Luceti? Doesn't it?]

[Option B: In Action, after her "little impromptu show," Fujiko takes to the Battledome to get some practice in with her new catsuits and break them in. Would anyone like to stumble across the Cat Burglar in action as she darts about rooftops and sneaks into apartments? Oh wait, she might be doing that in Luceti proper, too. Oops.]

[doubleppk]

Oh! Okay!

[Bounces off stage to get get it. Like she cares that Lupin will be looking down her chest. At this point? Par for course. And back she comes!]

So? What do think? [Struts!]

[redjacketthief]

[Lupin grinned and wolf whistled.]

Looking snazzy!

But, I'd think a fashion show would have more than catsuits--not that I'm complaining!

[doubleppk]

What? Really? But it's a catwalk! [Gives you a look like you're an idiot :|] Catwalks are for catsuits!

[redjacketthief]

Catwalks are for classy cats to strut their stuff, like that Jackie Kennedy number that you wore in Barcelona-- you know the one.

[A sly smirk and a wink. That outfit was endearing in an old fashioned way.

[doubleppk]

I'll have you know Jackie Kennedy wore it because I did.

[Bluffing, she's not THAT old, gawd. Just old enough to steal from President Kennedy. No wait.]

[redjacketthief]

]What is time in this series anyway?]

Yeah, but she's the one that made it famous~

[doubleppk]

[True enough!]

[And Fujiko pouts!]

Only because I had to hide from bounty hunters.

[redjacketthief]

We all did.

But we don't have that problem here, so how about bringing that out again and finding a sassy red dress to try?

[It wasn't like he was biased toward red at all...]

[doubleppk]

You always want me in red, but this fashion show wasn't for you. It was to get other people interested in catsuits now that Valvalis is gone.

And because I found a bunch.

[redjacketthief]

But I don't want to see anyone else in a catsuit, Fujiko~~~~~

[Whining now.]

They're a part of your charm!

[doubleppk]

Really~?

[Keep it up, it's working!]

[redjacketthief]

Really~

[He grinned.]

No one else can pull it off like you!

[doubleppk]

You're just saying that because you want to pull it off period.

[Sticks her tongue out at him, but okay, he's earned his reward, so she heads back to switch into the requested red number.]

[redjacketthief]

[He grins at the sight of her in red, and whistles his appreciation once more.]

It looks perfect!

[He swung down from the rafters with practiced ease and landed to the side of the stage.]

We should open the fashion show to some of our local designers too. Keimi would love to have a venue, I'm sure!

[doubleppk]

That'd be great! I'd love to see what they can come up with! And I'm sure Grell would enjoy it too!

Maybe we can make Luceti a bit more like Paris, after all!

[redjacketthief]

Yeah, Grell would love it. I wonder who else...?

We can definitely make this place more lively-- just one little bit at a time.

[doubleppk]

Maybe Hibiki dear?

That sounds wonderful, thank you Lupin. [She's gotta be plotting something.]

[redjacketthief]

[He knew that smile...but, more importantly:]

Hibiki?

[doubleppk]

Mm! She's a young idol in training.

[And then thinking about it, her eyes flash dangerously and she points a scolding finger at Lupin.] And don't you even think about corrupting a dear sweet girl like her!

[redjacketthief]

[He lifts his hands and pouts in a show of innocence.]

Why would I do that~~?? She sounds too young for my tastes!

[doubleppk]

I said corrupt not touch.

And I have one word for you.

Clarisse.

So I'll be watching you. Or I'll tell on you to Pops.

[redjacketthief]

--!

Clarisse is a special case and you know it.

[He frowned and glanced out the window, as if looking for Cagliostro.]

Nothing can corrupt her.

[doubleppk]

Mm-hm. You're still the only one who sees a nun and thinks "challenge."

[redjacketthief]

Only because that was you.

[doubleppk]

[Giggles.] Oh right, somehow I'd forgotten that. [So much lying.]
