I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find colored strings of lights. If those aren't available, what are some materials I could use to fashion something similar?

[A bit after the text message appears, Kallen shows up on the network, grinning, probably a bit wider than necessary. Her tone's relaxed and friendly, her wave at the camera suggesting nothing of ill will at all. In fact, the pilot's in a generous mood! Why not offer some help to those who might be looking for it?]

Looks like the masquerade's a little over a week away now, huh? I know it's short notice, but I have a friend who's simply excellent when it comes to sewing and designing clothes. He's very thorough and timely, too. I have a feeling if anyone asked nicely, he'd be willing to lend a hand in preparation.

[She can't help but chuckle before continuing.]

Speaking of preparation, is there anything else that needs done? I've got time to kill, so putting it to good use sounds like a plan.

Really? He could do that?

[ardor]

Mhm! He's very good, and he's very helpful. I think you've met him, too. His name's Lelouch.

- oh, Lelouch! [ wasn't he the one asking about the initiative and tactics and being a rebel and stuff.... ] ...I wouldn't have thought he'd be good at something like that.

[ardor]

He's good at cooking, too, but I think they have that covered. Besides, this seems more important right now.

[He'd been willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, Kallen, but the instant his name enters the conversation, well. Here's hoping you'd anticipated this.]

I never agreed to this.

[ardor]

I never said you did.

[kingside]

Then why mention me at all?

[ex_symbioses706]

Cooking and sewing.... [ is he really this kind of guy?? she's never met a guy like this. ] Mm, I agree. I'm still looking for a dress, too.

[ardor]

You've got skills that could be useful right now. Why not help out? [Shrug.]

video;

[ardor]

Well, asking can't hurt, right?

[kingside]

[No malicious intent that he can detect-- not that he'd honestly been expecting any, but really, something like this...

He breathes a tiny sigh.]

For a masquerade, Kallen? This isn't one of the president's wild schemes.

video;

[ex_symbioses706]

That's true, I guess. Do you really think he'd agree?

video;

[ardor]

No, it's not, but a little fun can't hurt. In fact, I can see it helping some of us.

[ardor]

How about we ask him together?

[ex_symbioses706]

Oh...! Okay.

[draconic_historian]

"Christmas Lights", I believe they are called? I may be able to help in some manner.

[kingside]

And the rest?

[have a girl who looks a little too excited on the feed]

Really? You have a friend who is a seamstress?

[helljumper]

Someone's excited. [... Admittedly, he is too, but still.]

I am still unsure of what clothing would be considered appropriate. Normally I attend all official functions in my armor.

[As well as everything else he does.]

[priad]

What is the point of a masquerade?

[bratworth]

Would this tailor you know be willing to create and tailor clothes for occasions that aren't this upcoming masquerade? I'd be willing to provide compensation, of course.

[ardor]

Doing it in person might be a better way to go about it. I'll see if I can set something up.

[ardor]

Either don't care or are used to this sort of depressing environment. Just think how disappointed MIlly would be, Lelouch.

How so?
