[A GUILTY CATHOLIC'S PARADISE i hate it here. Matsui glances toward D, but he'll start trotting off along the aisles soon enough. He's truly looking around in the same way that a cat does when entering a room with new toys - curious and intrigued but still reserved, like he does not want to be caught being too enthused.
Stopping in front of a shirt that would cover every single inch of skin on him.]
Oh... [Gently touching some of the ruffles......] ...These outfits are lovely.
[MATSUI IS SO FUNNY. D thinks this is the funniest thing to see, and he's so sad that emoshare is gone so he can't sense what Matsui is feeling when looking at these clothes.
He covers his mouth with his sleeve briefly, then smiles.]
This store seems to be made just for you, Mr. Matsui. We should get you into some of them to see how they look. I'll hold them for you after you pick them out.
[STOP HIS GOTH CLOTHES. Matsui is so spoiled, truly. Buzen carries all his shit normally and now there's D...]
--Would you like to try anything, as well...?
[Looking back toward SIR COUNT DRACULA HIMSELF. Even if he isn't wearing Western clothing, his general vibe is still gothic enough that Matsui thinks it'd be a good match.]
[He is just being polite!! He can carry a few while Matsui has a field day in the gothic lolita store.]
Ah... [DON'T LOOK AT HIM. Chinese Dracula... There are lots of in canon rumors about whether or not he's a vampire.] Well, I can try on a few with you.
Maybe I can find something that doesn't look terrible.
Ah, no, no. I think they are all very beautiful. It’s just… [He touches the edges of a shirt almost longingly.] I never looked very good in Western fashion. No matter what I tried on.
Though I didn’t try on much like this exactly… So maybe it’ll be better.
[THEY ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE HERE!!!! But Matsui just quirks a tiny little there-and-gone smile before picking up his pace a little. HE'S HUSTLIN. GRABBIN THINGS HERE AND THERE. Hilariously despite D's offer he doesn't make him carry anything.]
[Matsui, born with a natural aptitude for frilly clothing, is done changing pretty quickly. He waits patiently! ...And listens... to the sounds of D's continued struggles...
Eventually, piping up from where he still is in his own room:] D? Do you need any help...?
[A few more minutes pass, and then he finally emerges from the dressing room. He comes out in... a dress actually! It has a high slit up the leg on one side; however, he is pretty conservative, so beneath the dress, he is wearing some leggings.
This actually seems to fit him much better than a shirt and pair of pants.]
[HE IS SO MALICE MIZER. Matsui steps out when he hears D emerging from hell, too, wearing something like this. Love that he just fits the aesthetic so much that it's all over his fanart.
He sees D and he's just like !! because he personally thinks this is a very elegant look that suits him well.]
Oh! You look lovely... Velvet is beautiful on you. You want something with a lower heel, yes?
[Excuse him as he goes to rummage around and comes back with a coupleof differentchoices. Imagine the heels are a little less chunky or tall, truly finding short heels in gothloli collections is a nightmare.]
[HELP NOT LIKE THIS. D IS ALSO SO FUNNY... Why is he such a creature. Matsui will hand over the third pair, nodding in approval, and move to set the others back off to the side.]
That is a nice choice. I think they'll compliment your dress well.
[Imagine they both just show up to the pool party in full gothloli outfits instead of swimsuits.]
He stands up and fixes the dress again to make sure it is sitting correctly, and then he turns to stand in front of the mirror. He touches the lacy collar. Then he smiles a bit himself.]
It’s different, but not uncomfortable. It feels like a cheongsam almost. I like it…

Ah? Do you dislike this type of style...?
[Oh no why does D think they look terrible THIS IS SO SAD... He's still going to force D to play dress-up with him but still!!!]
no subject

no subject
Oh... [This is truly so sad...] --Maybe it will be. We can try a few things, if you would like?
[He's gonna put D in a dress.]
no subject
Fortunately for Matsui, D sometimes wears cheongsam, so he would not out up a dress fight. Whether or not it looked good is up for debate however.]
Sure. Well? These clothes won’t be here all day, Mr. Matsui, they’re selling out fast.
[Hehe. THEY ARE LITERALLY THE ONLY PEOPLE IN HERE.]
no subject
--How do you feel about heels?
[Is he trying to commit murder.]
no subject
He follows along, pausing here and there to pluck up some things for himself which hopefully won’t look awful on him. He ponders Matsui’s question.]
I don’t usually wear heels, but… I don’t mind ones which aren’t extremely high.
no subject
Then I will see if I can find you a pair with smaller heels that may suit you.
[So many heels out here are so thick and tall and chunky he's going to have to get D some mary janes damn.]
no subject
[D’S MARY JANES!! He will wear some mary janes, yeah. And maybe some heeled……………… shooties.
He has all manner of outfit pieces in his hands and arms.]
Is there a particular reason you like this style…?
no subject
Mm... I don't know... [His vampire theme is here to kick his ass.] I've always enjoyed the look of it. It's elegant and beautiful, I think.
[They have enough that he's going to start leading the way back to the changing room yeehaw.]
no subject
He walks unhurriedly after Matsui’s lead.]
I see. They are very pretty. I think they fit you very well.
[He prefers all of his traditional dressing, but he can understand the appeal in the same way.
He carries all of his things into one of the rooms.]
no subject
[uwa he's genuinely touched this is a sweet compliment... He's no Kashuu but he still takes some particularity in his appearance.
AWAY THEY GO THOUGH. From his room:] Please let me know if you need any aid in getting anything secured.
no subject
Thank you. I should be…
[Well, he’s quiet for a moment with some shifting and rustling going on. There’s some murmuring!! To himself, of course.
“This way… No, this way I believe…” . . . “This is rather tight…”]

Any of these?
no subject
Matsui’s compliment actually makes him a little shy. He smooths out the front of the dress and fixes the sleeves with a kind of modest air.]
Thank you… Yes.
[He stands there with his stocking toesies, waiting for Matsui to return. Imagine if Matsui just abandoned him like this.
He surveys the selection once Matsui is back.]
Those…
[He points to the third pair.]
no subject
That is a nice choice. I think they'll compliment your dress well.
[Imagine they both just show up to the pool party in full gothloli outfits instead of swimsuits.]
no subject
Thank you, Mr. Matsui.
[He will take this fancy third pair and sits on a nearby waiting bench so he can put his footsies in then. And lace them up. They look nice!!
He stands up with the grace of a man who is somehow comfortable in heels despite always being in flats. His balance is good…]
We look like a right pair.
[A PAIR OF J-ROCKERS]
no subject
We do match very nicely, don't we?
[Hehe... He's genuinely entertained by this because Buzen never matches with him the lil shit.]
no subject
He stands up and fixes the dress again to make sure it is sitting correctly, and then he turns to stand in front of the mirror. He touches the lacy collar. Then he smiles a bit himself.]
It’s different, but not uncomfortable. It feels like a cheongsam almost. I like it…
no subject
I'm glad that you do. I think it suits you well, but ultimately, your opinion is the only one that matters when it comes to something like this.
