Ducks! Thank you so much for these wonderful machines. I have been able to find so many delicious tidbits. It's simply divine. Look, someone has even seen fit to write a novel about me. Or perhaps about our dear Lady Maccon, but I understand I feature prominently. As well I should.

Now, according to this wonderful website known as "TV Tropes," my world is an example of what is known as Steampunk. Isn't that simply the most darling thing? How dreary to think that your worlds do not have, say, dirigibles, or aethergraphic current. I am terribly sad for you, buttons!

My goodness, I just had the most stunning idea. I don't know why I didn't think of it before! You must all come for a party. My townhouse is more than large enough to accomodate an intimate gathering of just us ducks! Of course, I must insist on proper attire, but I'm sure that is no trouble. Shall we say the 31st of March? I will, of course, send out a more formal invitation in the future, but since this is somewhat short notice, do consider this your 'save the date' card. Of course, I will require some of you to worldhop guests to my location. That won't be a problem, will it?

My goodness, I am aflutter. I will have to commission a new outfit for the occasion!

[ETA: I've updated Lord A's ooc info post on the ball here. Please read it for more info (even if you read it before! Updates at the bottom!) and feel free to ask any questions there.]

...that does sound like something Lord Akeldama would find appealing.

[glimmerous_fop]

Probably, they tend to cater to some pretty extreme tastes, but there are more subdued styles as well.

[cravats]

I should hope so. The notion of an entire... what did you call it? Subculture? Dressing so, ah, interestingly is somewhat overwhelming.

[glimmerous_fop]

These are some interesting times, you'd be horrified by some of the fashion sense. You should see the underwear they have today.

[cravats]

Mr. Gavin, is that quite necessary?

[Scandalized! Tsk tsk.]

[glimmerous_fop]

Oh absolutely, there's no way you wouldn't get a kick at a pair of skivvies with an elephant trunk sticking right out of the front.

[He had to show his true colors sooner or later.]

[cravats]

I refuse to believe such a thing exists.

[glimmerous_fop]

They do, and ones with Giraffe heads instead of elephant trunks I can prove it.

[cravats]

[...he is at a loss for words. Really.]

...I see.

[glimmerous_fop]

Reality is harsh, Herr. Truly.

[cravats]

Why would anyone wear that?

[glimmerous_fop]

Novelty? Compensation? A dare? Or maybe they just want to make their lover laugh.

It takes all kinds to make a world.

[cravats]

If any- [Oh wait. Lord Akeldama is listenng. Let's take a different tack.]

I suppose it does, doesn't it? Still, it's rather... hideous.

[atadflamboyant]

[Lord Akeldama is always listening, Dolly.]

[glimmerous_fop]

[If it's any consolation Klavier thinks he just got roped into modeling underwear.]

Yeah there are some styles that should have never seen the light of day...like Hammer pants.

Threadjacked!

[atadflamboyant]

Oh! Perhaps you could model for us, liebling.

\o/

[glimmerous_fop]

Well, Schätzlein, I wouldn't model anything quite that humiliating. I won't say no to anything less embarrassing.

Re: \o/

[atadflamboyant]

Splendid! We'll make a fashion show of it!

[glimmerous_fop]

Will I be bringing the underwear?

[atadflamboyant]

You supply the couture, my darling, and I will supply the good professor.

[glimmerous_fop]

Something tells me that he might not receive this idea with open arms.

[atadflamboyant]

Nonsense. He is a man of exquisite taste.

[glimmerous_fop]

I'm...sure that he is...but he seems to...well lets just say he has reserves about undressing in front of me.

[atadflamboyant]

Of course he does, my dear! he is terribly proper.

[glimmerous_fop]

Eh...so wouldn't it be the same if it was the other way around? [Maybe Klavier should ask, he's curious.]
