[he is standing in a clothing store somewhere in Nova City, faintly surprised that he found it at all but that's neither here nor there. That he found it is a solution but the question is one he will pose to all the lovely viewers out there in ...CommunicatorLand]

As a caveat, I'm not really Scottish no matter how I sound. And what you're hearing is not really a Scottish accent but for those who know might be mistaken to think so because of inability to hear sub-harmonics. But never mind that. The point is, I've never been more Scottish than I am right now...

Which is why I've gathered you all here today is because I need advice...

Which one do you prefer. [he gestures to a rack of kilts handing up] The red? [he holds the red plaid in front of him--- and then each subsequent one] Green? Mint? Glow-in-the-Dark? Active Wear? [this last one the tartan is mostly blue and black but lined also with a glowing blue-white material] Apparently records bio-data, links to the music player of your choice and is a bum warmer in a pinch. [he grins] Nova City... Best place...

This is not an every day wear by the by, but I am thinking of taking one on an Adventure. Make a statement. Really go all out. I'm also considering blow torch bagpipes, but you know, no need to go overboard... yet.

Give me your input!

And I'll also need a matching sporran. I think they have these here too. Though you can never find one bigger on the inside...

Hey.

Your shitty motorcycle is in the parking lot of Bixby Place. Just gonna gather rust if you don't go get it.

[She's not 100% sure it's his, but she has a suspicion. And she's crankier than usual cranky.]

[Video]

[guitar_hero]

It's yours to do with as you wish. You should give it a ride if you get bored. She's got a smooth gait and turns like a dream.

[polyandrist]

[Someone looks extremely amused.]

When in doubt, always go with the bum warmer. They get mighty cold without any pants.

[guitar_hero]

Not where I'm going. [and speaking of] Would you like to come along? There'll be thrills, dangers, unashamedly sexy knees. You'll love it.

[polyandrist]

Well, how can I turn down an adventure like that?

When do we start?

[guitar_hero]

Not sure. I'll let you know as soon as I do. Though if it's not soon we'll just go by ourselves and see what's what. It can only be an improvement.

It's always little things humans miss. In any case, I'm rather partial to red, myself.

[ Says the vampire with clothes that have red trim, red eyes and of course the surname Scarlet. Red was the inevitable suggestion. ]

[Video]

[guitar_hero]

It is, isn't it? But who can blame them. They've a lot on their minds and they can get overstimulated fairly easily.

[he considers the red but he's not sure]

So I take it you're not human?

[it's rude to assume but since she alluded...]

Re: [Video]

[scarlet_devil]

Hmm, something not unique to humans, I find.

Not since 1513. These wings are quite real... I am a vampire, but perhaps not as you know them.

[Video]

[guitar_hero]

Not unique to anyone. [not even Time Lords.]

You'd be amazed what they can do with body modifications. [not that he doesn't believe her]

But how's that? [he's known at least a handful of species of vampires in his time but he's always ready for something new]

[despairunending]

Maybe you should go for the bagpipes. If we're lucky, whichever abomination you pick will catch fire before you can subject us all to it actually being worn.

[Or while he's wearing it but that would be more of a bonus than anything.]

video

[guitar_hero]

Oh it's a fine old tradition, you know. Wearing the kilt. [he peruses his choices absently] For the Scottish anyway, at least in this particular style. It says, I'm me and this is my clan and way of life and you'll have to take it from my dead body.

[he frowns at one before putting it back] And a lot of them did. It was a slaughter and the English, their adversaries at the time, nearly wiped out an entire way of life-- but that was sort of the hobby back then. Go in, take control, exploit for profit.

And yet it never turns out the way they might expect and not worth the suffering it incurs...

[he might be leaning toward the yellow but on the other hand it might be too... standoutish]

video

[despairunending]

[But the unexpected and the suffering are Junko's favourite parts!]

That's great and all but didn't you say you weren't Scottish? So isn't that cultural appropriation or something?

[Not that she gives a shit either way but that doesn't stop her asking the awkward questions.]

[Someone is still adjusting to arriving, and has to blink a few times at the post. He's also not entirely sure he understood at least half of what was being said, even though the words did make sense.]

If you're thinking an adventure, maybe decide on functionality? Like if you're going to be climbing around and on things, or in the wilderness versus the city? Also how much you want to stand out versus blending in.

[Video]

[guitar_hero]

You're overthinking it. It's for the look, not necessarily functionality. I've got all that with me. [he taps his temple with a grin]

Re: [Video]

[light_of_willpower]

[He probably is overthinking it, but this is just so far out of his experience he's not sure what to think.]

Well...if you're looking to make a statement, go bright?

I've a similar issue, where people often mistake my accent for an English one until they see me. I don't believe I've heard a Scottish accent before... Yours is similar enough that it's difficult to tell the difference?

There are countless types of adventures on might go on. What situations to you expect to encounter? Weather, terrain, fauna, flora are all important factors. Though if you've already proper equipment for an adventure and are just looking for something to glamour over it I'm partial to the active wear.

text;

[guitar_hero]

No, no, no. Nothing so involved. Too much work for one thing. Too much thinking for another. I prefer spontaneity. But I am intrigued by 'glamour'. What do you mean? Tell me more.

tl;dr my bad

[astralera]

I imagine adventuring is much be a different experience for you than what I'm accustomed to. In Eorzea if an adventurer is unprepared they will most certainly die a gruesome death. Though admittedly in Eorzea most wildlife is large, capable of, and more than willing to kill you. And that's to say nothing of bandits and other such criminals.

[ She has met a disheartening number of adventurers over the past few years that she ended up never seeing again because of such dangers. Perhaps she's overly cautious and a bit sensitive to a lackadaisical approach to adventuring, but the dangers she faced and losses she suffered are impossible to forget.

Era will just hope for the best, and send a prayer to the Twelve for the eccentric old man's safety whenever he goes off adventuring. ]

Glamouring is the technique with which you can alter the appearance of one piece of clothing to look like another with the use of a glamour prism.

My most frequently used glamour is one where I alter my gloves to look and feel like nothing at all whilst I wear them. This is beneficial to me when I visit the northern region of my home, where frigid is an understatement for how cold it can be. I need the warmth and protection of my gloves, but the freedom and control bare hands offer me during combat.

An example for you might be a pair of trousers that offer some manner of protection, but glamoured to look and feel like whichever kilt you end up choosing.

Glamour prisms are exceedingly expensive and rare to the common man. As an adventurer of some repute I have easy access to them, whether via purchasing or crafting them myself. If you have an interest I can demonstrate it for you when we have our jam session.

If this is purely about fashion and aesthetic I feel that I'm obligated to give my opinion. Do you have something picked out to go with it yet or are you building the outfit around the kilt? I can't really answer without that kind of crucial information.

If you can't find yourself a sporran that suits your taste I'd be happy to offer my services and make you one.

[video]

[guitar_hero]

Do you know you're the first person who I think really gets it? ... Well first person I don't already know.

I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be building it out from the kilt because that's going to be the central piece of hardware.

As for sporran services... What can you offer?

[video]

[offwithhishat]

Goodness, truly? People really do need to broaden their horizons. I mean, what's not to get? Everyone wants to look good once in a while. [ A shrug. ] What sort of palette do you usually go for? That might narrow down our choices.

It's easier to ask what I can't offer. Tell me what your ideal piece would look like and I'll tell you if it's out of my realm of abilities or not.

[video]

[hotheadwarmheart]

Well if you're looking to make a statement, I say go for the glow-in-the-dark one. Unusual and easy to find in a pinch. Also, I'd go for the blowtorch bagpipes too, but I'm a little biased when it comes to fire.

[video]

[guitar_hero]

Looking at you I never would have guessed. [it's the ginger. He's always been too fond of the ginger]

But on second thought it might be on the entirely too side of too much. [he wanted to make a statement not look like an idiot] The bagpipes anyway.

Re: [video]

[hotheadwarmheart]

[Yeah Lea's hair is like... the most ginger that it's possible to be.]

You say that now. But wait until you need to light a fire to cook with or melt something and don't have any regular tools handy; then blowtorch bagpipes are awesome. Never can tell what'll happen on an adventure, after all.
