Satori Quest - Day in the Life

[Nekomata-chan]

>Let's wait for the sketch to be finished!

>It takes a minute or so, but Reiko soon finishes.

>It's a long black dress with a slit in the left that starts from the bottom and reaches up to the middle of the thigh region.
>The bottom edges of the dress are printed with a patterned red ribbon.
>Snaking up from the bottom of the dress, and slowly becoming transparent, is something reminiscent to deep red flames.
>The top of the dress has a red strip down the middle of it and around the waist in an upside-down T fashion.
>The back of the dress hangs down a little, just showing the shoulderblades.
>The dress has one shoulder: a thick strap of fabric over the left shoulder.

[Hanzo K.]

>Beckon Orin over. "Orin, what do you think of this?"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Beckon Orin over. "Orin, what do you think of this?"

>Orin strolls over, and her jaw drops when she sees it.
>"Wow..." she stutters, "That's... amazing."
>Reiko grins, "Glad you like it."

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile. "Well then, I suppose there's just one last outfit to plan out then, hmm?"
>"Let's see....Well, perhaps it could be something like Koishi's, but with smaller versions of the shoulderpads from Okuu's outfit."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile. "Well then, I suppose there's just one last outfit to plan out then, hmm?"
>"Let's see....Well, perhaps it could be something like Koishi's, but with smaller versions of the shoulderpads from Okuu's outfit."

>Reiko nods, "And what colour? I was thinking blue... dark, navy blue..."
>Chitose nudges her, "Maybe rich aquamarine..."

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "Let's see a concept sketch, and we'll work from there."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Nod. "Let's see a concept sketch, and we'll work from there."

>Reiko begins sketching.
>She's finished a basic sketch.
>It looks a bit like Koishi's dress, but a little more elegant and refined. It has another layer of petals on the bottom and the sleeves, and it has small metal shoulderpads.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Hmm....perhaps some bracers on the sleeves as well...And perhaps a detachable capelet.
>Fistpalm. "Ah! Perhaps the dress part should be detachable to reveal a similar skirt, in the event that mobility is needed."

[Nekomata-chan]

>"Hmm....perhaps some bracers on the sleeves as well...And perhaps a detachable capelet.
>Fistpalm. "Ah! Perhaps the dress part should be detachable to reveal a similar skirt, in the event that mobility is needed."

>Reiko nods and quickly sketches some small, rather decorative-looking bracers onto the sleeves.
>She adds a capelet, drawing it to the side of the dress with a heart-shaped clip to hold both sides together.
>Reiko gestures at the buttons along the front, "They are spaced quite far apart, they should do it for the detachable-dress thing."

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "Well, this will do the job rather nicely, I suppose the last things that need to be done are the measurements?"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Nod. "Well, this will do the job rather nicely, I suppose the last things that need to be done are the measurements?"

>Reiko nods, hurling a long roll of tape-measure at Chitose.

>Chitose throws it in the air several times, "Who first?"

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod, and step forward. "I'll go first."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Nod, and step forward. "I'll go first."

>Chitose nods.

>She measures your waist, hips, bust, height, arm and leg lengths.
>Reiko notes them down.

(I am so lazy I won't even attempt at making measurements...)

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "Alright, next is Okuu, then Orin, and finally Koishi."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Nod. "Alright, next is Okuu, then Orin, and finally Koishi."

>The two Oni both nod.

>Okuu steps forward, and Chitose measures her up whilst Reiko notes down the measurements.
>The same happens with Orin.
>And Koishi.

>Chitose rolls the tape-measure back up and drops it on the desk, "Brilliant! Any deadline you need these outfits for?"

[Hanzo K.]

>"Well, I'll need these in at least the next 8 days, because I plan to wear them at the opening ceremonies for the festival, among other festival-related things."

[Nekomata-chan]

>"Well, I'll need these in at least the next 8 days, because I plan to wear them at the opening ceremonies for the festival, among other festival-related things."

>Reiko quickly makes some notes with Chitose supervising over her shoulder.

>Chitose nods, "We can have all of them done in three to four days."

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod and smile. "That's good, because I think that I should probably get Okuu a new casing for her control rod to go with the rest of the outfit."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Nod and smile. "That's good, because I think that I should probably get Okuu a new casing for her control rod to go with the rest of the outfit."

>Reiko grins, "Yeah, you'd probably be better off with the blacksmiths' place for that. As much as we use metal in our clothes, we order our metal from there. We're kind of novices in metal-work."

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "I was going to do just that once we have the outfits set."
>Look to Yuugi with a smirk. "Well, that should settle things here yes? I still have other potential entrants to test after all."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Nod. "I was going to do just that once we have the outfits set."
>Look to Yuugi with a smirk. "Well, that should settle things here yes? I still have other potential entrants to test after all."

>Yuugi grins, "Aw, more? You're gonna tire yourself out soon. We need a Youkai that can immediately determine the physical and... danmaku-...-al... power of someone. That would be a cool power, if a little bit boring..."

[Hanzo K.]

>Chuckle. "I think I can hold out for at least two more. Particularly so, given who I'm intending to test next."
>Smirk. "But if you wish to lend a hand with that, then we might be able to go longer."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Chuckle. "I think I can hold out for at least two more. Particularly so, given who I'm intending to test next."
>Smirk. "But if you wish to lend a hand with that, then we might be able to go longer."

>Yuugi shrugs, "I'll help out, if you want..."
>Koishi twirls around, leaning over to you, "I can help out if you want, too~!"

[Hanzo K.]

>Chuckle. "Koishi, you're still recovering, remember?"
>Smirk slightly. "And Yuugi, I won't force you to lend a hand if you don't want to....It's just a shame really, since you'll end up missing out on getting the chance to go up against some of Gensokyo's Strongest."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Chuckle. "Koishi, you're still recovering, remember?"

>Koishi blinks, "I am..? I feel fine."

>Smirk slightly. "And Yuugi, I won't force you to lend a hand if you don't want to....It's just a shame really, since you'll end up missing out on getting the chance to go up against some of Gensokyo's Strongest."

>Yuugi grins, "I'm not awesome at judgment, I'd mostly be messing around with them, you know that."

[Hanzo K.]

>Sigh amusedly. "It wasn't all that long ago that you went through all that you know, You're the only little sister I have."
>Smirk. "That's quite alright, since I would be watching the battle."
>Grin. "Besides, I was mostly playing around myself."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Sigh amusedly. "It wasn't all that long ago that you went through all that you know, You're the only little sister I have."

>Koishi pouts in that cute little-sister-y way which is a little too typical, "I'm not that weak, or little!"

>Smirk. "That's quite alright, since I would be watching the battle."
>Grin. "Besides, I was mostly playing around myself."

>Yuugi winks, "Well, it seems you were the only one in that frame of mind during those 'tests'. When that maid walked in, all serious, it was completely hilarious! I nearly choked on my sake, I was laughing so hard! That kid has the murder-face nailed, doesn't she?"

[Hanzo K.]

>Administer headpats to Koishi. "I know that already, but you need to think about your health you know. Besides, I'm the big sister, worrying about you is my job."
>Chuckle. "And yes, it was rather amusing back then. But then again, it was rather enjoyable."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Administer headpats to Koishi. "I know that already, but you need to think about your health you know. Besides, I'm the big sister, worrying about you is my job."

>Koishi grins, "And doing random stuff to make you worry is my job."

>Chuckle. "And yes, it was rather amusing back then. But then again, it was rather enjoyable."

>Yuugi grins, "Should've seen the faces on Yukari, Reimu and Marisa. Completely fixated, they were."

[Hanzo K.]

>Sigh amusedly, then smile in that big sister way. "Yes, that what has me worried to begin with."
>Look to Yuugi. "I can believe that. Perhaps I'll look through their memories of that moment to find what they were thinking at that moment."
