[ Effie clears her throat. Taps the microphone. Puts on her best smile even though nobody can see it and parts her rouged lips to speak in that designer Capitol accent.

She is a woman on a mission and for once it isn't entirely selfish. ]

Attention.

Attention everyone.

Thank you.

There has been some concern as of late regarding the lack of feminine necessities available to the recruited ladies of this establishment. I have taken it upon myself to run a charitable drive for distribution of these items to any person who requires them.

We would be delighted to accept your generous donation of fine fabrics and aesthetic materials such as powder or perfume that could contribute towards a woman's well-being.

Please note, gentlemen, that this effort is as much for your sake as it is for ours, and on behalf of the ladies in Exsilium we appreciate your cooperation in advance.

This is the greatest priority you could think of to rally the troops behind? Perfume and powders?

Well, it just so happens that a friend and I are looking into a business that does indeed specialise in all manner of feminine necessities. And some for other genders, as well. I have the very slightest of sneaking suspicion that our definition of necessities differ a little, but they are very much focused on well-being.

[ Elizabeth might just be laughing but she's still staring at these blasted things with so much concentration because it's still strange and foreign to her.

But the looped over and over set of pearls that swing from her neck, and the carved gold cross that hangs at her throat is indication enough of what exactly she's used to. Though the rest of her is plain to her own standards. ]

I'm used to more, and different. Though I have had worse. [ She scrunches up her nose. ] But even then at least one maid to attend me... [ even when she was in the tower, she had two ladies to keep her company. ]

[What is wrong with you lady]

That's just a great idea. It really is awful here.

When you say this effort is for the sake of the gentlemen, too--

Could you be more specific?

[ normally, she would ignore something like this or come up with something snide. but her (only) client right now is closer to a woman than she is and the last person she was stealing shampoo from left so. ]

where can we get them

[ she wants to snark so bad, ugh, needing people. ]

Fine fabrics, I would think, are not appropriate for this place with the weather and missions that we are sent on. Would you not agree?

[Celebrian is content enough with the simple dresses she's been making herself.]

[weapabilities]

Pardon me, but please define 'feminine'? I mean, I know the literal definition but it just doesn't make much sense to me.

[Maria instantly dislikes this woman.]

We're hardly so dainty as to require those sorts of frivolities.

[ninjamanager]

You, ah, are aware that we're effectively living in a war zone, aren't you?

[notadamnvampire]

While I would agree that the morale of the troops is important, I can't really see how this is an effective use of our resources in any way, shape or form.

[quackery]

I don't think stuff like that really counts as a necessity...

[have_hat_will_travel]

Quite vain, to refer to such things as necessities, I'd say.

But then, I'm not the best to talk, given how much magic I put into my own appearance.

Jim just looks at the com for a minute and shrugs.

"So you're sayin you're the one we talk to if we come across some finery or something on a raid and don't know how we can pawn it off? Guess its best to know where to get the most scratch for everything fancy or useful."

[onen]

[...wut.]

A woman does not need those things for her wellbeing, not in these lands or in mine.

[the_human]

So, like . . . make-up and junk like that?

[politicking]

[There are many things that didn't make the trip with her, including her arguably expansive wardrobe. The wardrobe of a Senator. In terms of her position, she's never been among the most ostentatious, preferring to conform to political etiquette in more modest ways than some of her colleagues. But even much of that hardly has a place here.

Out of all the issues one could focus on, this isn't at the top of the list.]

It's a kind thought. [Really, it is; the good intentions are more than apparent. She's as genuine in that statement as she sounds.] But shouldn't we prioritize more essential supplies?

[There is so much wrong here where does he even begin.]

I'd hesitate before speaking for all women in Exsilium, miss.

[ The smirk is almost audible behind the microphone. ]

I suppose it's nice to see someone else here has a sense of fashion, and priorities.

[ Spoken in a high-class French accent. ]

[ofgoldenfoil]

[ Feminine means female of origin. Of what curtails feminine, exactly, Aurican is not sure. It's not like his sisters Mydass and Oro are here to educate him. ]

Powder as in gunpowder?

[fe_male]

Has there been a demand for such things? And here I'd thought that I was doing a pretty good job supplying. [ Because that's totally the sort of thing that he would have thought of. ] I haven't got any of that, but I've got production, if you need it.
