[Izanagi's going through the sensitIV outfits with a practiced speed, occasionally pausing on a few different numbers with... varying levels of enthusiasm.]

Y'know, since we can wear stuff from other unit aesthetics sometimes, I've been thinking... Maybe we should pick out some kind of common accessory we can all wear so people can still spot us in case they need healing? It's kind of a pain planning outfits around whether or not it feels like they might spring a bad game on us.

[outofoffice]

[ Also mindlessly browsing through clothes. ]

--Oh!

. . . Is that something we were meant to be worrying about?


[ now u tell him ]

[bondsofsuffering]

We aren't technically obligated to heal anyone, but being recognizable means people can do the work for me of finding me when someone needs healing instead of having to hunt everyone down on my own.

[proceedwithcautus]

Oh, like a uniform item? Like an armband or... hats might be a little difficult to suit everyone's taste.

[bondsofsuffering]

An armband would be easiest! Maybe we should get a bunch of pink bandage gauze? Then it would count for our unit accessory, too.

[proceedwithcautus]

Oh, that's a good idea!

...is this all really, actually a fashion style from somewhere, though?

[forgottenmercy]

[dressed in a LiliS outfit today, all delicate white loose layers, but definitely also with all the artfully-arranged bandages makes it obvious that he's sIV.]

That would, ah, be a good idea...

[bondsofsuffering]

It's nice to wear different things, right?! But it looks like you've already got the sIV accessorizing down to a science.

[forgottenmercy]

It is, ah, nice...

[nods] I, ah, worked it out a while ago...

[sancrimony]

I don't really mind wearing sensitIV clothing, though?

[ he wears entirely sensitIV like almost 100% of the time, except when he mixes some ☆ZRAEL in with it so ]

Besides that, I think accessories might be a little harder to spot in a crowd . . . It'd be easier to dye our hair all the same color, I think?

[bondsofsuffering]

I don't want to keep bleaching my hair. The fluffiness is one of the best points!

[intercanemetlupum]

Oh... that might be a good idea!

[Not that Nyx is going to wear other unit aesthetics or has any experience with those incidents yet, but clearly Izanagi knows what he's talking about.]

[bondsofsuffering]

[Thanks for the support Nyx but...]

Come to think of it, do you even have clothes from other units yet?

[intercanemetlupum]

No! ...Am I supposed to?

[proceedwithcautus]

Ah, there's so many options... I don't really know what kind of thing suits me, though.

...some of these are kind of a lot.

[intercanemetlupum]

Some of them are kind of a lot...!

[proceedwithcautus]

Do you think... you'd wear any of these? I guess a sweater isn't bad...

[intercanemetlupum]

I think... the ones with all the, um, sssstraps? And the teddy bears that aren't just patterns? Might kind of be in the way... but other than that, I would, I guess? ...I think I'm actually more confused about what counts for the things we're supposed to wear now that I'm looking at more of it, though.

[forgottenmercy]

[delicately looking around at various dresses and things. will help look for things for others, too, if they want]

[bondsofsuffering]

What would you recommend?

[forgottenmercy]

What, ah, exactly are you looking for...?

[bondsofsuffering]

I've got so many clothes by now, I don't really have a preference.

If you got free reign, what kind of thing would you want to see me in?

[intercanemetlupum]

Are you going to get a new dress?

[forgottenmercy]

Ah, perhaps...

It's, ah, been some time since I bought something for myself.

[intercanemetlupum]

[Nyx is still a wide-eyed newbie ready to ooh and ahh at all the sights in the department store, even if he's been here a few times before.
He isn't looking for anything in specific, he's just here to hang with the gang and appreciate the setting. What would he even shop for?? He doesn't know.]
