✿002 [Video] (FAIL-LOCKED AWAY FROM THOSE OF THE MALE PERSUASION)

[cannotcrossdress]

[Chizuru seems uncomfortable appearing on the network - and not in the usual "Chizuru being socially awkward" way. Like, in the squirmy, shifty, ants-in-your-pants uncomfortable way. Why can't she seem to sit still?]

I think I need some--I mean, where can I find binding fabric? Bandages tend to work just fine, but typically something a little less stretchy, thicker, stiffer fabric--for binding my breasts down, I mean. [In case it wasn't obvious.]

[She looks up in thought, digressing to an aside.] ...though I guess dressing as a boy isn't entirely necessary here. It's not exactly Kyoto or anything...[Allegedly it's just as dangerous, but Chizuru's yet to see that for herself.]

Ahaha...! [Oops, was she talking to herself?] I dunno, what do you think? I haven't worn girl's clothes in a few years now...I don't even know what'd be considered 'normal' for a girl my age to wear these days? Should I aim for kimono like back home, or should I aim to dress like--well, whatever the "natives" here are...[Hmm. Are there any natives? Everyone dresses so differently here, it's hard to tell who's from where.]

What do you think? Should I just stick with what I know? [Though dressing like a girl...well, she did kind of miss it, but she doesn't want to make her housemates uncomfortable with it.]

Of course it's the point! That's like saying "This boy wants me to wear nothing but lingerie all the time, so I'd better wear what he says instead of wearing some shorts and a t-shirt because I feel more comfortable in them."

[cannotcrossdress]

I-it's not like that at all! Its for the well-being of everyone involved..! I mean, it's not like it's doing me any harm, dressing as a boy...[And honestly, even if she felt a little out-of-place wearing boy's clothes, she wasn't uncomfortable.]

[magentarific]

It's not, but if you want to dress as something else then go for it. OR maybe just try a few, see how you like it, then change back if you don't!

[cannotcrossdress]

I guess there's no harm in trying it out, is there...?

[It sounds like the majority of feedback is encouraging her to dress as a girl. What's the worst that could happen?]

[tenminutes]

Of course there's not! It doesn't really matter how you dress, but if you don't try lots of different things, you can't figure out what's comfortable for you.

[cannotcrossdress]

But...[Her voice goes small.] How will I know if I look silly or not?

[tenminutes]

Just make sure it matches and you'll be fine. If you're not sure, ask someone modern to go with you.

[cannotcrossdress]

But I don't know anyone who's 'modern'..!

[Did that sound like a whine? She totally didn't mean for it to sound like a whine.]

[tenminutes]

Do you want me to take you shopping?

[cannotcrossdress]

Wh--isn't that troublesome? [Chizuru doesn't want to impose...]

[tenminutes]

On the scale of troublesome things that happen in Luceti, this is like a 0.2 out of 10.

[cannotcrossdress]

[Chizuru awkwardly chuckles at the remark.] If it's not too much of a problem, I would be happy to rely on your expertise...

[tenminutes]

I'm free this evening, where do you want to meet?

[cannotcrossdress]

[So fast!]

Uh--h-how about at the fountain..?

[tenminutes]

Before or after dinner? Hayate probably made us something, but it's usually in the fridge. If you want to get something to eat, I'll just not take my share out.

[cannotcrossdress]

A-after dinner is fine! I have to feed my roommates, besides...

[tenminutes]

Alright! What time do you think will be good for you? We're usually done around 6 or 7.

[cannotcrossdress]

Seven should be fine! [She could ask Kohaku to help with dishes, couldn't she?]

[tenminutes]

Okay, but I have one more request before we do this. And you ABSOLUTELY have to complete it or we're never doing anything together.

[cannotcrossdress]

A request? [Curious...] Sure, what is it?

[tenminutes]

[ The most dramatic pause you've ever experienced, then... ]

You have to tell me your name.
