TAG ME BINCHES

[probatum]

I don't suppose you are fond of fishnet, are you?

[corporative]

[The little “...”s that denote typing blink across Tseng’s screen for a few hefty seconds. Finally—]

I don’t recall fishnets being a part of the costume to begin with. This seems less like than a mishap and more like a change of plans.

[probatum]

[ Well. He's had a good life, hasn't he? Seen a lot, learned a lot, experienced plenty? ]

The person responsible for putting it together may have.... mistakenly chosen the wrong type, while ordering it.

They are being reprimanded as we speak.

[corporative]

[He’d never do that to you, Tseng. Far too valuable to sever over a mishap of fishnets and costume choices gone wrong.

His paycheck on the other hand, well.]

Before I instruct you on how thoroughly they need to be reprimanded, maybe you should inform me of what kind of costume requires a preemptive warning about fishnets?

[probatum]

The kind that was ordered as the 'female' type, sir.

[ He'll do his best to shield Elena from any real punishment, but really... ]

[corporative]

Well. While that would certainly turn some heads at the party, I'm not sure the consequences would be worth it.

[Can you imagine, though.]

Which means I'm down a costume. Are you going to help me put one together last-minute, Tseng?

[There's a question mark there, sure, but one might wonder if it's actually a question.]

[probatum]

I'm already looking through your closets as we speak, sir.

Do you want something terrifying, or something more refined? It would be quite easy to transform you into something of a blood sucker, as it were, but it may be a bit...campy.

[corporative]

And I thought all blood-suckers were supposed to be refined.

[Well, to a point. He supposes only the ones steeped in gothic horror, but there's something equally appealing about donning a high-collared cloak with deep crimson lining, and fake fangs to match.]

I think I could pull it off, campiness or otherwise, don't you?

[probatum]

You could pull off anything you wanted to.

I'll put together the pieces and leave them hanging on your wardrobe. It shouldn't take long.
