I'm told there's a swearing-in ceremony coming up next month, and I had just a few questions about that.
[ lydia's standing just outside residence #026, wearing a cheeky smile. all things considered, she's begun to develop her own theories on this, but information borne of experience is more reliable than whatever slanted, biased garbage she's been fed by the government officials who've helped to settle her in. ]
Well. One, really.
All imPorts are considered registered by default on arrival, but not everyone stays that way. Is that decision motivated by some hipster romanticization of homelessness, or are there legitimate reasons to reconsider the graciousness of our hosts?
[ okay, so her own attempts at impartiality were a little sabotaged by equating unregistered heroes to homeless people. she's still hoping some unregistered vigilantes will reply with their reasoning. ]
Oh, and, I'll be needing suggestions for where to find a dress for the ceremony.

That said, I'mmmm not too keen on being the government's puppet? So I'm kind of undecided right now on the whole thing. I guess you could say I'm waiting to see how things go, get all the facts first. Way I see it, there's no need to rush the decision.
Anyway, I'm new myself-- obviously-- so I don't have any suggestions for your last point. But if you want a shopping buddy... it's always more fun with two, right?

[ there's a genuine, mounting smile on her lips. skye is the only one who seems to be on her level and understand exactly what she's trying to do here, and she offered a shopping buddy. wow. winner. there's something reminiscent of a predatory jungle cat in the way her smile spreads, like she may as well be circling skye. very regina george. ]
What's your name?

Skye for her part looks like she's standing over a desk or a kitchen bench indoors somewhere, elbows resting on it, relaxed. Her casual clothes neither as stylish nor as traditionally feminine as Lydia's-- there's tragic amounts of flannel, for starters-- but she wears it well. Like she chose it because she can pull it off and it suits her personality, not because she has no taste. (Though, perhaps more importantly: because it was in her price range.)]
Hey, I try. And I'm Skye. You are...?
no subject
Lydia Martin. [ she brushes hair out of her face. ] Someone gave me a name. Kanaya—she's a seamstress here. I figure if the department stores don't have anything decent, we can go to her.
no subject
I don't know, I'd feel bad asking someone to make us something in such a short span of time, but I guess it doesn't hurt to make an inquiry. Then again, this place is like... hella 50s style, right? I'd be surprised if we can't find something appropriately classy.
no subject
Everyone else is too busy getting offended about politics to be helpful. [ she says innocently, as if she didn't intentionally stir that pot to get everyone's most intense opinions on the topic. waving a dismissive hand, she proceeds without missing a beat. ] I probably should have opened with the dress thing, but I guess we can just go downtown and look around for ourselves. You're right: there are bound to be some kind of boutiques that'll do.
no subject
[She doesn't sound mad or offended-- more like amused. Based on Lydia's good looks alone it could well be the former, but given that she's still in high school, Skye's willing to bet the latter. It hasn't been so long since she was a teenager herself.]
And yeah, tell me about it. Though, even offended outrage counts as information too, in a different kinda way. Depends on what info you're after, I guess.
[She isn't certain, but she has a sneaking suspicion that was exactly the kind of information Lydia was after. Skye made a similar post herself with similar intentions not one week ago.]
We might just have to look for now-- I don't know how they price things here, and I'm not entirely certain how much I'm getting paid, either. But if nothing else, it's a good opportunity to check things out. Fashion and... otherwise.
no subject
[ she's just saying. the number of times she's been dragged into running for her life in heels could be avoided by a heads up. she'd at least wear sensible sandals. ]
i'm sorry this is soooo late. sudden workload!!
[Then her demeanor returns to normal as she adds, a beat later:] But feel free to wear flats if you want.
s'all good i have taken much longer to get back to things ...
ty ;_; <3 also should we switch to log or just continue to action spam
[In the second between "Uhhh" and "here", Skye brings up whatever this world's variation of Google Maps is to find a suitable mall in central Heropa, then sends it over to Lydia's comm.]
Looks nice and central.
log would be swell! would you mind setting it up? :c on my way to bed rn.
haha i went out to work but yes no problem!!
[Over here o/!]
