Seaside Fashionista Episode 1 Part 3

Things pick up after the battle handing out of queue tickets, about thirty minutes of dealing with the crowds. Things have settled down well enough as the riot calms down and the mobs of randos wander off. Arachne is so tired from all that that she just watches everyone go and doesn’t think to try bringing anyone in to her own store.

Tsathoggua agrees with Arachne’s comment about feeling like they’ve worked all day despite it not being so long, then calls for a break and collapses into a chair. After that, he directs his minions to bring out the drinks he bought earlier. Another chair is brought to him which he puts together with the one he’s already on, then he lies down on them both. Despite this, his suit remains wrinkle free.

Tsathoggua then goes on to proclaim that lying down with a cold drink is the best thing in the world. He also prompts you guys to take the other bottles and take a load off for a sec. Arachne accepts and perks up after a drink. Tsathoggua urges you to take yours and says it’s good with lemon in it. Though before you do, you look him up and do for a second. He asks why you did so, so you can either ask whether it’s right around his stomach, his shoulders, or his butt.

Going A, Tsathoggua has to take a minute to think about it before realizing he never noticed. A normal suit would present issues, but he feels like he could go to sleep in this one.

Anyways Arachne says comfort will be a given thing since she’s the one who made it as she finishes the rest of her drink. To her that’s just how clothes are supposed to be, and since she knew the suit was for Tsathoggua, she customized it to balance comfort and performance.

You talk about the point that she made about knowing who the clothes would be for and say that’s what makes her a pro. You can also call her great. Arachne comments on how great a honey drink is when she’s tired, then says she feels feeling smooth in her mind and in her skin. Then she says to get fired up to make some sales.

Some time later Ashigara shows up and yells out some battle cry. Gunzou has to try to stop him since this is a public venue and not a dojo, and because he always gets like this when he gets excited. Kyuuma feels a bit embarrassed to be around such a stylish place and suggests they go in already.

Arachne asks what’s happening and says the sumo voice isn’t something that comes up often in her store. Ashigara yells again upon spotting you, and you greet him. He says he promised to come like he said on the app, and that he’s trying to be popular in his own way this year.

Durga speaks to you next and says she’s amazed by all the fashionable people around. Kyuuma greets you next and says he feels awkward with how gorgeous the place is. Gunzou tells you he saw the pic you put up and asks who your friend in it is since he thinks he’s cool.

With the shop livening up, Arachne comments on how vibrant and energetic things are. She thinks it’s a shame how the Yoyogi crowd’s clothes are a bit damaged, but they are made of some good stuff. Durga then asks about how unusual it is for you to be helping out at an event like this. She gets it into her head that you’re trying to be the most stylish person around and calls you a jerk for trying.

Ashigara laughs and suggests she try for it too then. Durga thinks about it, then says she doesn’t really know if she can swing it. Kyuuma says everyone they saw on the way over looked nice and pretty, then wonders if they’re out of place for being here in sports uniforms. Gunzou then panics and wonders if he smells sweaty. You can either say it’s fine, say he smells good, or say he does smell a little sweaty.

Going B, Gunzou asks if you’re sure and asks you to take another whiff as he gets closer. In any case Daisuke starts talking about how he sees so many different kinds of things that can be used for student pro wrestling matches as either faces or heels. He tries asking a clerk for help when he ends up talking to you in his surprise. You either wonder who he is, say he’s that guy Taurus Mask knows, or compliment him and ask his name.

Going B, Daisuke is surprised by the comment and asks if you’ve forgotten him. He’s sad about the possibility, but as he calls you brother while he did so, you point out that only Taurus Mask did so. He freaks out for a bit and tries to smooth it over by introducing his off the ring self. He also claims that he accidentally called you brother because he totally talks to Taurus Mask and his habit rubbed off onto him.

You tell him that it’s fine for him to call you brother, and that you don’t mind if he drops the polite speaking patterns since he’s older. He asks if you’re sure, then says you really are the brother he Totally Taurus Mask has high hopes for.

Wakan Tanka walks in next and is surprised to see you. You welcome him to the store but are confused by his reactions. Alternatively you could say he’s your type. Either way he remarks about meeting you again, and you either greet him by name with some confusion, remember he’s that football player you met some time ago, or hug him in happiness.

Going with C, he’s happy with the hug and returns the gesture. Durga then starts pulling him back figuring he’s surprising you. She also mentions that he’s really weird, though maybe you already know that part. In any case the Yoyogi crowd starts looking around in the shop.

Wakan comments that the event is a good one ‘after all,’ and compares all the dressing up to a starry night’s sky. He also says he feels like this is the first time he’s come to this store, so it might be a new experience for him.

The Yoyogi teachers come in next. Mineaki talks about the showy things are and how formal wear is the theme of things. I’m having trouble understanding Avarga’s speech patterns but he seems to be embarrassed by the romantic mood he sees in the place. Mineaki suggests they go look for clothes later and watch the kids for now before they cause a ruckus. Avarga reminds everyone to be on their best behavior, and everyone responds like this is a field trip.

Arachne comments that it’s nice how lively it is, but she doesn’t think the jocks will buy anything. Tsathoggua says that they’re all customers interested in fashion. She quickly agrees and says young people are what drives brands, and maybe one of them will buy something after all. Time to smile everyone!

Some time later, Arslan comes by talking about how pretty things are. You greet him and ask if his work is done. He’s glad to see you’re in good health, then says he came over because it seemed like fun. Gabriel talks to you next. She’s dressed up in her nun outfit since she’s off the clock as an idol and coming here secretly.

Maria greets you next and asks how work is going. Gabriel comments on the shop being high end and suggests she and Maria go in looking for bargains. Maria is surprised by this but goes on in. Zabaniya comes over and bows silently to you. You greet him and ask if he has an interest in fashion.

Zabaniya greets you vocally now and then says he’s just here to accompany the other Missionaries. He feels out of place with the event area and asks you to overlook his attempts to not stand out. You tell him you don’t feel that way, say you want to see him dressed up, or offer to pick something out for him.

Going A, he asks that you not pick on him too much. He also doesn’t think he’s worth your effort to do so for him. Anyways narration says the Missionaries bring their own sort of mood to the store. Arslan’s the casual old man, Zabaniya is the strong aide, and Gabriel and Maria are the granddaughters. The guys hang back and watch the girls have fun shopping for clothes.

Arachne is having fun with this and doesn’t have any issues with them window shopping. She compares it to the sort of scene you’d find in a brand name store on a holiday. She does get the feeling she’s seen Gabriel from somewhere but doesn’t dwell on the thought. Tsathoggua asks why she’s breathing through her nose so hard like some sort of creeper.

Arachne takes no notice of this and starts describing Arslan and Zabaniya as outstanding models. She’s especially taken in by their armpits and feels the need to make something, though she holds off for the moment. Tsathoggua is alarmed and tries to get her to calm down.

Zabaniya feels the staring, which prompts Arslan to ask what’s wrong. He says it’s nothing and that he thought he felt someone staring hard at him. Arslan says he does stand out, but then so does himself. Arslan then wonders whether Maria and Gabriel still remember that they all came over to find something for Zabaniya and suggests picking something himself. Zabaniya tries turning it down saying he’s just an escort.

Some time later Suzuka shows up and enjoys the scenery. She’s also surprised at how fancy the store you’re at is. You can then greet her gangster style, greet her by name, or combine a more formal greeting with calling her Suzuka-chan.

In C there’s an extra bit where she tries but fails to call you with a -chan suffix too. But anyways she says she’s here for business and asks you to help her. Tetsuya, Gyoubu, Tetsugyuu, and Ibaraki are along too, and Ibaraki comments on the sweet smell he can pick up on and how he’d normally have no connection to the place.

Tetsugyuu greets you and comments on you being a salesclerk here. He says he could have helped by carrying stuff or land sharking if you called him. Tetsuya tells him and Ibaraki to knock it off because this is a place for normal people, and Gyoubu says the Outlaws are gonna be here for some business.

Arachne notices the gangsters next and the place seems to darken a bit with their presence. She pulls you over to ask you a question in private, and Tsathoggua comes along too. Then she asks if they really are the mafia or the yakuza. Tsathoggua says work is work, and the Outlaws are behaving themselves anyways.

Arachne points out that’s not an actual denial and says she thought they were here to strongarm her out and take the property. She also wonders if she can sell them her shoulder mounted gun thing. Tsathoggua then says she’s crazy herself and says that if they’re your friends they should be okay.

Anyways Arachne comments again about how well connected you are. But since you’ve brought in so many people, she’ll just have to make sure she has something for them all. The episode part ends as she walks over to go show off her goods.
