No one laugh.

Back from Vanessa's friend (who's, uh, pretty terrifying by the way). Vanessa needed some help, and I needed the money, but she said I needed to look the part. Eight hours later and, uh, tah-dah, I guess. First person to laugh gets a fender to the face. That goes double for you, Gibney.

Check out the MIB! Looking good, Fred. You got the shades to go with the suit?

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

You look very nice Fred.

[x-network.livejournal.com]

Looking very sharp sir! :)

[x-squirrel.livejournal.com]

You look really awesome, Fred!

[x-meggan.livejournal.com]

The suit looks wonderful, Fred!

Vanessa's friend? You mean me? Terrifying? Why Fred, I'm flattered!

I agree, first person to laugh gets a fender to the face! I did an amazing job with you!

[x-unmoved.livejournal.com]

Oh crap you have one of these journal things?

Uh...you're welcome? Also, terrifying.

Seeing how I'm a teacher at the mansion, yes I do, Fred!

Oh, trust me, you could have had worse than me helping you out. At least I didn't make you buy new underwear, guys hate that, right?

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

Honeysuckle, my love, you were not supposed to terrify the boy. You were supposed to make him swanky. (Which you did rather well it seems, kudos.) Terrifying the new help is very possibly counterproductive to my mission statement here, you realize.

I'm sorry! It was honestly not intentional! But he is a red-blooded American male, so I'd consider the fact he can still walk and talk after eight hours of suit shopping and primping a win, there, Hollyhock. I tried to take good care of him! He's not drooling or speaking gibberish or bleeding from the eyes after our day together, after all, is he? You could have done worse!

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

I believe you mean you could have done worse. I will give you points for not breaking his spirit but I was hoping you would be easy enough on him that he would not consider it a traumatic event.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

I meant you because you were the orchestrator in this endeavour. And hey, he never said it was traumatic, he said I was terrifying! There's a difference! And if I'd been any easier on him he'd be wearing something like rainbow-coloured parachute pants and a football jersey. Is that what you want?

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

Having actually seen Fred live and in person, albeit only once, I am more convinced he would have been wearing flannel and jeans. If I was the one in charge he would have a cheap, poorly fitting suit and no bling. Because I despise shopping, possibly more than he does, and would spend as little time as possible doing it. And the hair cut would have come from Super Cuts.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

We actually did go to Super Cuts. Apparently my name's not good at a lot of the upscale salons anymore. But they did just as good a job for like a hundredth of the price! And you know the best part? Even though they didn't know us there, we didn't need an appointment!

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the glory that is Super Cuts, love. Speaking of, Honeysuckle, do you want me to beat someone up for not liking you anymore? Because I can and will. You just tell me what twit with a stick up his arse thinks you're not good enough to associate with and I will make him very very pretty. Or her. I don't have anything against punching women.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

Tempting, very tempting, but I think I'll have to pass on that fantastic offer. Unless there's some way we could set up an accident for them. Like icing their steps so when they come out in the morning they slip, or something.

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

That would be very easy to arrange.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Dude, I would never laugh at a dude in a suit. Especially when I know that dude can throw me clean across the grounds if he wanted.

[x-unmoved.livejournal.com]

Ya totally _asked_ me to see how far I could throw you when we were cleaning out the woodshed; I ain't taking the heat for that.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Hey, I landed in a tree covered in snow and then some more snow, it was soft enough. I'm just sayin, I'm not gonna laugh at you for a suit. Sides, dude, I'm like 35 days from having to wear a goddamn tie every day.

[x-wallflower-.livejournal.com]

I should probably not laugh at you, considering when I get to a certain point, I will have to wear scrubs constantly.

[x-penance.livejournal.com]

You look so nice, Fred! I hope you are keeping the suit!

[x-unmoved.livejournal.com]

Uh...thanks, Vette. I guess I will...?

I honestly didn't know people liked suits this much. Are ya'll sure I don't look like a wuss in that thing?

[x-penance.livejournal.com]

Not at all. You look very confident and professional, as well as very nice. :)

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

I like it Fred. You clean up nice.

[x-unmoved.livejournal.com]

Thanks guys. It still is pretty uncomfortable, and it feels really, uh, weird. Especially keeping it, uh, 'sucked in'...as it were...

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

You'll be well adjusted after thirty hours in it. And you look fantastic, Adrienne did well. The client will be overjoyed, I'm sure. Adrienne will also be choosing my dress so you will suffer alone.

[x-unmoved.livejournal.com]

Not a problem, Boss. Uh, I mean it won't be a problem. The suit I mean. I won't slack off or complain on the clock, is what I'm tryin ta say.

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I'm not worried about your on the job attitude because you're having a bit of an adjustment to the new look. Did she make you get some sort of bling as she insisted to me you would need?
