Design for Dreaming

Who: Forrest, Kairi, Cardia Beckford, Princess Celestia, and Orihime
What: Mission 17
When: August 20th
Where: Orihime's temple, Far Shore
Summary: Forrest undergoes the next lesson in his training, with the help of a few friends.

[It's been a little while since the completion of Forrest's last lesson with Orihime, and considering his temple is now located conveniently across the river from his teacher's place, he's decided to pay her a visit to advance his studies. After turning in the last project to Amaterasu, she had hinted that the next lesson would have something to do with making specialized clothing for gods and shinki with unique circumstances. Being the conscientious sort, Forrest had asked ahead of time if there was anyone who was interested in sitting in on the lesson, and that's how he and his current entourage had ended up here. The small group is just about to the entrance to the temple, and Forrest turns to them with a smile.]

Thank you for coming, everyone. I appreciate the help.

Oh, that's remarkable! I don't think I've ever had an outfit quite like that before.

[Which ought to be considered quite the compliment, given her title and her longevity.]

What more do you need me to do? Stand as a model, or something else?

[Feeling a little silly just standing there while everyone else gets to work, Cardia adds...]

And if there is anything I can just let me know.

[She doesn't really know anything about sewing, but she could fetch thing or hold things for them.]

[Kairi looks over at Cardia with a smile as she points to where Orihime is pulling cloth out.]

What if you helped me cut out those sleeves, Cardia?

[Considering she has no idea where the lines are for Cardia and her apprehension, she thinks the best way to make a new friend is to invite and keep inviting Cardia until she finds out where those lines are.]

They'll be beautiful when they're done, but the pieces will be pretty huge.

[And Kairi's not yet full grown, either.]

[Noticing that her question went unanswered, Orihime opts for patience. The fabrics she selects are indeed the most delicate, as she spreads a few out on her table for Forrest to peruse, she glances again at Celestia. Only then does she notice the various colors in Celestia's hair.]

My student Forrest, will you be choosing a particular color scheme based on the overwhelming white shade of this goddess's body... or perhaps something to compliment her hair colors? For I have noticed there are many. Your previous design has me wondering if perhaps a similar sort of quality might suit our patron today - but then again I confess I know not the purview of your duties here in the Far Shore, Princess Celestia...?

[In fact she's not even sure if she's heard Celestia's god name yet, in the hopes that perhaps it was a god name that she'd heard of before.]

Oh my goodness. [Celestia has to quickly duck her head and curl a hoof over her muzzle to hide her smile and suppress her laughter.] Forrest, that is a very interesting idea, but I think you may have forgotten to know your audience. I am a Princess, after all... an outfit that shows my mood to all might not necessarily be the most diplomatic of choices.

[Cardia nods in response to Forrest's request.]

Alright.

[Let's see.... fabrics and ribbons that would look nice.... Everything she's ever worn was in various shades of brown. Which is certainly a practical color. But somehow this situation seems to call for something... brighter.

After a moment, she picks out a soft sky blue fabric. And then some cream colored ribbon.]


How is this?
pure_radiantics: (convo] agree 100%)

Forrest can go next and then Orihime

Oh, that's a good point, Princess, hmm.... maybe just depending on the weather, then!

[She remembers going through clouds with Celestia that one time and hearing about how she'd changed the weather for a good day on Tanabata.]

I'll just work on these sleeves.

[Since Forrest clearly needed her input more than Kairi needed her help.]

[Orihime assists with meshing all of the pieces together until they start to take the shape of Celestia's pony form.]

First, we shall add the color-changing facet - then you may decide once and for all the conditions upon which to add the changing effect second.

[She takes a thin straw-like object, dips it into a container on her desk, and then blows air through it until a bubble forms. With her free hand, she swirls around the bubble, and then draws it into her fingers like gently pulling delicate lace off of a table.

She sets the straw down and then uses her other hand to stretch the magical quality outward. It begins to resemble a spider's web or thin bread dough, but with all of the opalescent quality of a bubble shining in the light.

This, she applies to Celestia's garments with both hands gently smoothing it in various places.]

[Oh, if only Rarity were here. She'd give her mane curls to see this display.]

[Celestia lifts her wings slightly, and generally does her very best to be a good model. (Or as Luna might say, a big dummy.)]
