MAKEOVER PARTY [closed]
Date & Time: March 9th, noon/afternoon
Location: Adam's party place
Characters: Adam Jensen as Samus Aran, and whoever else volunteered to help out with...
Summary: ...making Samus more LADY LIKE.
Warnings: Probably nothing too bad. Will edit if anything comes up.
[ ... It's probably best if he doesn't drink any more for now. He's just so used to drinking a lot because of his metabolism, but given that the drunkenness lasts now... yep, no need to down any more.
Right now, Adam's waiting, sorting through his notes--advice by Takegami he's written down--and looking for some tape measure, he's sure he had some around here...
Oh, and still running around just in skivvies. He just hopes Samus is keeping herself busy figuring out those augs so she won't ruin the surprise by spontanously dropping by, too. ]

whoa sorry for late
Shit.
[ He's used to people being late, so it's sort of unexpected. He somewhat hastily hides the Cthulhu plush and then disposes of some beer cans (it is a mystery where he got those from, given he got rid of his fridge stocked with booze the other day), but it does little to make his apartment look any less like a mess.
He just still can't be bothered, especially given how moderately tipsy he is, and well, he knows that Samus doesn't mind.
After a minute or two, he finally gets the door, looking pretty much exactly like he did on the videofeed before. By now, the only thing affecting his sense of balance really is the booze, and not certain assets, thankfully. ]
Hi, sorry for taking so long. [ Oh, it's both of them, how convenient. ] Uh, just come in and make yourself comfortable. I still gotta look for the tape measure, if you want something to drink there's stuff in the fridge.
Cosplay-inspired knowledge, GO!
*And fabrics. And other supplies, if the bag's size is any clue.*
Metal ones aren't good for most body measurements, anyways - we need 'along the curve' measurements if we're going to make this come out as best we can.
no subject
[After a cheerful wave, Rise gives the other blonde a curious look. She would have thought she'd put some clothes on, but she'd just have to get undressed for the measurements anyway, so it's just as well.
... Even though she's in a pretty well-built body herself, she's still jealous looking at her. She can't even tell she's a guy in a woman's body or anything, and she's seen a few of those!]
It, uh... looks like you're adjusting pretty well...
[Don't stare, Rise. She's just another woman. Even if she is really a guy, or whatever.]
Anyway, Pidonus-san... I can help with the measurements if you need it! I've never done it by myself, but I work in showbiz back home!
[Which means she's been on the other side of it more often, but she at least knows how it works. She eyes the fabric and the bag.]
Are you actually gonna make something for her?
[Because if so, that's even better than just shopping!]
TAKE A TOUR OF ADAM'S APARTMENT, TODAY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtSAa5niU1Y
He raises a brow, gesturing he two girls inside and closing the door behind them. Looks like he got the right ones for this... Adam's not completely clueless when it comes to fashion, but second opinions are important, and it's not like he knows how to apply makeup of all things
or how to walk in high heels.... It's rather sad he's questioning none of this, but given how long he's been here, it's really hard to be weirded out by anything anymore. ]
I was actually planning to just go shopping, but if you can make something specifically fitted for her on top of that that would be great.
[ ... Still needs some undergarments and shoes, though. ]
Don't think I'd be able to find the type of dress I had in mind for her.
[ The fashion style of his time is very... peculiar. Adam heads down the few steps to the main living area. ]
Have Imentioned I am an idiot with copy-paste sometimes? :D
For the dress, if you've got some references, I can tailor up something. If we want to take the money to go hit shops and get bases, I'm pretty good at modifying pieces, in my opinion.
no subject
You'll have to walk a little differently if you're planning on heels, too. [Unless she wants to trip over herself.] I can work with hair and makeup once we've got a basic outfit!
[She glances to Pidonus, but she doesn't really have any further suggestions yet without input from their canvas...]
no subject
What's wrong with my walk?
[ Oh nothing Adam, it's just that you still walk like a caveman. Only that his center of gravity is no longer in his back, but in his front... speaking of front, he pulls down his top a little as it has been riding up somewhat. Samus is really rather... uh... well, she has good genes. ]
And unfortunately I don't think we can spend more than one day with this. I've got something planned for the evening and she's probably gonna drop by, too. Let's just see what we can get done.
[ He flops down on the couch; there's a bunch of notes on the table in front of him. ]
I'm not the best artist but I could probably draw up a rough sketch of what I was picturing. Wanna take her measurements now?
no subject
no subject
You're still walking like a guy. Worse than that, you're trying to walk like a guy.
[She sighs. This'll be interesting.]
Whatever, I'll help with that later.
[And then Pidonus seems ready to get started... once their subject has decided to flop onto the couch, of course.]
C'mon, up!
[Rather boldly, she steps over and takes the other blonde woman's arm, pulling gently but firmly.]
You didn't think we'd get her measurements with you slouching like that, did you?
no subject
[ WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE WALKS LIKE A GUY ugh well okay maybe it makes sense given he is a guy. But what's he supposed to do, wiggle his ass? He just walks like he... walks.
Before he can complain more, though, he's hauled back to his feet. Maybe he won't even have to do all that much and can leave most of the work to the girls; he just hopes they know what they're doing. If they do too much, Samus will definitely kill him whether or not she can take/wash it all off later... ]
All right, all right...
[ He figures that he'd feel equally uncomfortable in his own body, given all the fake limbs, so Adam doesn't think about it too much when he strips and pulls the top over his head but damn does this still feel weird. Yeah, it's a good thing only other women are going to see this body half naked... ]
no subject
Hrm. About what I expected. Standard cup range.
*And onward to the legs, the arms... Pidonus is actually taking and noting down a bunch of measurements.*
Good news is, she wears pretty typical sizes. It'll make customizing something much easier. Bad news is, how large of a wardrobe are we talking?
no subject
And then...]
... You call those standard?
[Rise just had to comment there. Even if she has to grudgingly admit they are within standard range.
She's just kind of jealous she's not anywhere close to that in her own body... (Yet? Yeah, let's hold on to the "yet"...)]
no subject
Once they're done, he quickly puts on the top again. He's pretty sure that anything he might have to say about that chest would come off as incredibly lewd given what he usually does with it. ]
Hrn. I was just thinking one outfit...
no subject
Underwear, legs, torso... We'll skip doing a hat, those are a pain if you want results that'd be useful here. If I had my own magic, they'd be easy...
no subject
[If there had been no other signs before that would definitely prove to Rise that she's talking to a guy right now. It's a bit disappointing, really - they could do so many different things! But maybe they could try out a few options out in the shops to make up for it?]
What kind of outfit were you thinking?
[She glances over at Pidonus as she muses about the pieces required, and leans over to whisper.]
You have magic for stuff like this?!
[She doesn't say it out loud, but she's also wondering - why a hat?]
no subject
Normally, yeah. Not all magic needs to be combat by nature.
no subject
[ Besides, they don't have that much time, and he doubts Samus would have the patience to deal with the girls, even if they have fun tailoring more clothes for her.
He frowns a little when he hears the girls whisper.... girls. Then he clears his throat. ]
Short dress, combined with tights and long sleeves. She doesn't really need to show skin, and I don't want her to look cheap.
breaking order and you can't stop me!
I guess one's enough for now! We can always help her out again later if she likes it.
Re: breaking order and you can't stop me!
Hrm....
*Pidonus laid out the fabrics she'd grabbed. Basic, earthy colors - warm, but not out of place in the Exsilium environment.*
Tights. Those'll be the hard part. Lemme get going on that. Rise, do you have ideas for a good short dress?
no subject
[ Somehow he gets the feeling like he doesn't have to say much more from here on out, unless they come up with something really atrocious. The colors look all right, so he sits and leands back languidly, crossing his legs. At least some people are gonna have fun with this. ]
no subject
[The feminine pronoun just slips out, and Rise doesn't bother correcting it even as she catches herself. If he can handle being a woman well enough to ask people over to design pretty clothes, he can handle being accidentally called one. Plus it's just weird talking about a dress for a "him", so the body's gender it is.]
There should definitely be long sleeves and maybe a teensy bit of a collar? We can make the skirt pretty daring if she's gonna be wearing tights.
[Yeah, she's starting to get an image in her head. Pidonus is the one doing the work, but since she asked for opinions, Rise might as well give 'em.
She gives a quick look to the fabrics in question... they're pretty muted for her tastes, but it looks like there's a shade or two of blue in there. She's still not sure if Pidonus intends to make something from scratch or go out shopping for things to customize, but it's an option!]
Something like that blue would be perfect! And the dress should be really fitted, too! Maybe give the skirt a bit of flare if you don't want it to be too clingy.
[That last bit was directed to their "customer" as well as Pidonus.]
We can work with details after we've got a basic shape. Right, Pidonus-san?
no subject
Sounds about right. Let's get this made!
