Our brand, Belle Betty Fashions, prides itself on offering[ST:n ]products made FOR women, BY women—no matter[ST:n ]what species they may be![ST:wait ] |
| 2 |
|
qev025701_MSG0002 |
But so far, we've only been able to reach a human[ST:n ]audience.[ST:wait ] |
| 3 |
|
qev025701_MSG0003 |
If we want to succeed on Mira, we need to start[ST:n ]bringing Ma-non women into the fold.[ST:wait ] |
| 4 |
|
qev025701_MSG0004 |
Which is precisely what I've tasked Panyar here to[ST:n ]accomplish as head of our new Ma-non sales division.[ST:wait ] |
| 5 |
|
qev025701_MSG0005 |
Hello hello! Leave it to me, okay? As the rising star of[ST:n ]non-human fashion, I'm positioned to revolutionize[ST:n ]Ma-non apparel, you see?[ST:wait ] |
| 6 |
|
qev025701_MSG0006 |
But but but, in your opinion, how does current Ma-non[ST:n ]fashion strike you? Doesn't it just all look the same?[ST:wait ] |
| 7 |
|
qev025701_JNK0010 |
Agree |
| 8 |
|
qev025701_SEL0011 |
Confess that all Ma-non clothes look shockingly similar. |
| 9 |
|
qev025701_JNK0020 |
Disagree |
| 10 |
|
qev025701_SEL0021 |
Praise Ma-non clothing as individual and varied. |
| 11 |
|
qev025701_MSG0007 |
Ah! You have very very fine taste, don't you?[ST:wait ] |
| 12 |
|
qev025701_MSG0008 |
You see, we Ma-non have no custom of wearing[ST:n ]clothes specifically designed for one's own body.[ST:wait ] |
| 13 |
|
qev025701_MSG0009 |
Really? Hmm. I think I may question your taste level?[ST:wait ] |
| 14 |
|
qev025701_MSG0010 |
You see, we Ma-non have no custom of wearing[ST:n ]clothes specifically designed for one's own body.[ST:wait ] |
| 15 |
|
qev025701_MSG0011 |
Most Ma-non will throw on anything, even if it's too[ST:n ]too too big and not especially flattering, you know?[ST:wait ] |
| 16 |
|
qev025701_MSG0012 |
...Ah HA! I have it, yes? Victoria, you need to craft[ST:n ]undergarments like the ones you humans wear,[ST:n ]but in Ma-non sizes![ST:wait ] |
| 17 |
|
qev025701_MSG0013 |
That sort of subtle, concealed fashion is fantastic,[ST:n ]isn't it? Very very confidence-boosting?[ST:wait ] |
| 18 |
|
qev025701_MSG0014 |
That's an interesting idea, Panyar. Though we'll need to[ST:n ]do some research—I have no idea what kind of size[ST:n ]chart to use for a Ma-non.[ST:wait ] |
| 19 |
|
qev025701_MSG0015 |
Maybe we'll just have my my good friend here do it?[ST:wait ] |
| 20 |
|
qev025701_MSG0016 |
It is decided. Go into town and ask three Ma-non[ST:n ]for their measurements, okay?[ST:wait ] |
| 21 |
|
qev025701_JNK0030 |
Inquire |
| 22 |
|
qev025701_SEL0031 |
Ask if Ma-non will be willing to share that information. |
| 23 |
|
qev025701_JNK0040 |
Backpedal |
| 24 |
|
qev025701_SEL0041 |
Inform Panyar that you'd be far to embarrassed[ST:n ]to ask people for their sizes. |
| 25 |
|
qev025701_MSG0017 |
Why, do humans keep such data secret?[ST:n ]It seems so so narrow-minded, doesn't it?[ST:wait ] |
| 26 |
|
qev025701_MSG0018 |
Ma-non are very very open about such question,[ST:n ]you know? So will you go ask them?[ST:wait ] |
| 27 |
|
qev025701_MSG0019 |
Embarrassed? But but it's only data, isn't it?[ST:n ]Raw numbers?[ST:wait ] |
| 28 |
|
qev025701_MSG0020 |
Such questions are no bother to us Ma-non, you see?[ST:n ]So there is no cause to be embarrassed, okay?[ST:n ]Plus I am very very very busy, so it has to be you.[ST:wait ] |
| 29 |
|
qev025701_MSG0021 |
I need Panyar to stay here and start working up[ST:n ]some designs.[ST:wait ] |
| 30 |
|
qev025701_MSG0022 |
I understand it's rather sudden, but would you mind[ST:n ]helping us? We can shake up the New LA apparel[ST:n ]scene together![ST:wait ] |
| 31 |
|
qev025701_MSG0023 |
Oh, and in addition to the measurements, we need[ST:n ]material to craft the garments. A handful of supple[ST:n ]leather would be perfect if you can track some down.[ST:wait ] |
| 32 |
|
qev025701_MSG0024 |
I appreciate all your help. This division is brand new,[ST:n ]so we're still rather understaffed.[ST:wait ] |
| 33 |
|
qev025701_MSG0025 |
Many many thanks. Let me give you the names of three[ST:n ]of my friends who are likely to give you their[ST:n ]measurements, okay?[ST:wait ] |
| 34 |
|
qev025701_MSG0026 |
For juniors, talk to Veverta. For misses, see Aalis.[ST:n ]And for the older woman, ask Vyponne. Okay?[ST:wait ] |
| 35 |
|
qev025701_MSG0027 |
They should all be in New LA somewhere.[ST:n ]So go get those measurements, all right?[ST:wait ] |
| 36 |
|
qev025701_MSG0028 |
Ma-non haven't ever worn underwear before.[ST:n ]If this goes well, we're looking at a huge new market.[ST:wait ] |
| 37 |
|
qev025701_MSG0029 |
I knew I made the right decision recruiting Panyar.[ST:wait ] |
| 38 |
|
qev025701_MSG0030 |
Done with your survey of Ma-non ladies? Then we're[ST:n ]just waiting on the materials. Five pieces of supple[ST:n ]leather, please.[ST:wait ] |
| 39 |
|
qev025701_MSG0031 |
I asked a BLADE acquaintance, and she said the[ST:n ]creatures called lepyxes are a reliable source.[ST:wait ] |
| 40 |
|
qev025701_MSG0032 |
Panyar is fascinating to watch. It's just one fresh new[ST:n ]idea after the next with her.[ST:wait ] |
| 41 |
|
qev025701_MSG0033 |
If we can bring those ideas to market, I really think we[ST:n ]can revolutionize the way Ma-non women dress.[ST:wait ] |
| 42 |
|
qev025701_MSG0034 |
And how are you progressing? Are the materials and[ST:n ]measurements ready?[ST:wait ] |
| 43 |
|
qev025701_MSG0035 |
Great, this should be plenty! We can start cutting[ST:n ]samples right away.[ST:wait ] |
| 44 |
|
qev025701_MSG0036 |
Say, Panyar? Once the samples are complete, will you[ST:n ]be the first to model one for us?[ST:wait ] |
| 45 |
|
qev025701_MSG0037 |
I would be very very very happy to be the first ever[ST:n ]underwear underwearer in Ma-non history, wouldn't I?[ST:wait ] |
| 46 |
|
qev025701_MSG0038 |
Excellent. We'll have them stitched in no time flat.[ST:wait ] |
| 47 |
|
qev025701_MSG0039 |
...Perfect. They're ready when you are, Panyar![ST:wait ] |
| 48 |
|
qev025701_MSG0040 |
Copy that. I'll be right back, okay? I can't wait to see[ST:n ]how they feel on me![ST:wait ] |
| 49 |
|
qev025701_MSG0041 |
......[ST:wait ] |
| 50 |
|
qev025701_MSG0042 |
Gwaugh! Nrrraaaaaugh![ST:wait ] |
| 51 |
|
qev025701_MSG0043 |
What what WHAT is this? Being squeezed like this is[ST:n ]very very very uncomfortable, you know?[ST:n ]This isn't fashion! It's...it's bondage![ST:wait ] |
| 52 |
|
qev025701_MSG0044 |
Do you really wear things like these?[ST:n ]Aren't they so so awful?[ST:wait ] |
| 53 |
|
qev025701_JNK0050 |
Disagree |
| 54 |
|
qev025701_SEL0051 |
Explain that it feels normal enough to you.[ST:wait ] |
| 55 |
|
qev025701_JNK0060 |
Agree |
| 56 |
|
qev025701_SEL0061 |
Say that you prefer going commando.[ST:wait ] |
| 57 |
|
qev025701_MSG0045 |
You're amazing, aren't you now? Heroic, even?[ST:wait ] |
| 58 |
|
qev025701_MSG0046 |
If I had to stay bound up like this all the time,[ST:n ]I would lose my mind, probably? I don't know?[ST:n ]Anyway, I'm taking these off right now.[ST:wait ] |
| 59 |
|
qev025701_MSG0047 |
Right! This crushy-squeezy feeling is unbearable, isn't it?[ST:n ]I'm taking these off right now.[ST:wait ] |
| 60 |
|
qev025701_MSG0048 |
Do you really wear things like these?[ST:n ]Aren't they so so awful?[ST:wait ] |
| 61 |
|
qev025701_JNK0070 |
Disagree |
| 62 |
|
qev025701_SEL0071 |
Explain that men's underwear is less restrictive.[ST:wait ] |
| 63 |
|
qev025701_JNK0080 |
Agree |
| 64 |
|
qev025701_SEL0081 |
Say that you know EXACTLY how she feels.[ST:wait ] |
| 65 |
|
qev025701_MSG0049 |
Males and females wear different kinds, do they?[ST:n ]Hmm. It seems Earth women have a harsh lot, right?[ST:wait ] |
| 66 |
|
qev025701_MSG0050 |
This crushy-squeezy feeling is unbearable![ST:n ]I'm taking these off now, okay? Right right off.[ST:wait ] |
| 67 |
|
qev025701_MSG0051 |
You know exactly how she... So, uh, wait.[ST:n ]You wear women's underwear?[ST:wait ] |
| 68 |
|
qev025701_MSG0052 |
Not that I'm judging! All of our customers are[ST:n ]equally important to us here at Belle Betty Fashions![ST:wait ] |
| 69 |
|
qev025701_MSG0053 |
I can't bear it any longer, can I?[ST:n ]I'm taking these off.[ST:wait ] |
| 70 |
|
qev025701_MSG0054 |
Phew... I thought I might die for a minute![ST:n ]Even for fashion, there are limits to what I'll do, okay?[ST:wait ] |
| 71 |
|
qev025701_MSG0055 |
I suppose underwear could be a bit of a hard sell if[ST:n ]you aren't used to it. I didn't think of that.[ST:wait ] |
| 72 |
|
qev025701_MSG0056 |
Maybe we should try approaching the Ma-non[ST:n ]customer through cosmetics instead.[ST:wait ] |
| 73 |
|
qev025701_MSG0057 |
Hmm, that reminds me. Victoria, you have a very[ST:n ]nice smell. Better than most other humans, right?[ST:n ]Were you maybe born different?[ST:wait ] |
| 74 |
|
qev025701_MSG0058 |
I wear perfume. It's an aromatic spray made from a[ST:n ]combination of pleasing scents.[ST:wait ] |
| 75 |
|
qev025701_MSG0059 |
Oh! Another form of invisible fashion, yes? Excellent.[ST:wait ] |
| 76 |
|
qev025701_MSG0060 |
I think Ma-non are much more likely to enjoy this, no?[ST:wait ] |
| 77 |
|
qev025701_MSG0061 |
A new fragrance made especially for the Ma-non[ST:n ]woman... I think it might actually work.[ST:wait ] |
| 78 |
|
qev025701_MSG0062 |
Then it's time for our good good friend to go collect[ST:n ]the scents we Ma-non enjoy, right?[ST:wait ] |
| 79 |
|
qev025701_MSG0063 |
After that, we can mix them up into a dangerously[ST:n ]fresh new perfume, yes?[ST:wait ] |
| 80 |
|
qev025701_MSG0064 |
Panyar's proposed a mix of sona herb and[ST:n ]mondcherry. You should be able to find the former[ST:n ]on Northpointe Beach.[ST:wait ] |
| 81 |
|
qev025701_MSG0065 |
For mondcherries, maybe look around Janpath Lake.[ST:n ]I'm eager to see what sort of scent they make together![ST:wait ] |
| 82 |
|
qev025701_MSG0066 |
Did you find some suitable ingredients? Go ahead and[ST:n ]hand them over to Panyar, if you would be so kind.[ST:wait ] |
