[o] [SE] everything that we should be

To kiss in cars and downtown bars
Was all we needed

Dark rags was a description that had Soh reluctantly leaving her shimmering silk behind. Instead, she made her way to a stack of velvet and began to sort through the various bolts, discarding this and that for one reason or other. "I wonder if we could get away with Ludo-inspired costumes," she mused. "I'd be much more comfortable in a dark-rag-dress, I think." A porcelain mask, she could probably find somewhere - but the actual clothes were what gave her pause.

In any case, she ended up with a couple of options to choose from, all in black: linen, cotton, chiffon. Maybe she would have a chat with Nova soon, see what her friend could come up with for putting it all together. She laughed lightly at Maea's crow-like tendencies, peeking over the Ancient's shoulder to find myriad scraps of this and that, all of which were lovely but none of which she knew what to do with. "They are pretty, I'll say that."

With the Ludo costume at least partially sorted out, Soh meandered to other colors and fabrics. Something in grey or silver might work for her vest, she thought - not too light or dark, not too bright and colorful. Something, maybe, to match her eyes. "What kind of fabric would make a good base for an armored vest?" she wondered aloud, glancing over at Maea. "I'm trying to make one, but I'm no seamstress."

You drew stars around my scars
But now I'm bleedin'
