[At first, it's difficult to see what's going on. The video feed that flips on shows a manicured hand with short, tidy nails and the camera angle is moving. At last, the camera stops moving around and Quinn can be seen. Bulla's voice is in the background.]

Okay, I think I've got it.

[The sound of footsteps can be heard as Bulla moves to join her friend.]

[Quinn smiles brightly for the camera, very much in her element. She's so excited she could explode (except not literally because ewwww)]

Hello, Luceti! This is Quinn Morgendorffer and Bulla Brief, and do we have an exciting offer for you!

[Bulla's quite excited as well. They'd been planning this for a while and now they're ready to unveil Fashion Club to the general public of Luceti. Of course, this had involved dressing their best. They could hardly promote Fashion Club without looking fashionable themselves, after all.]

We are proud to present Fashion Club. Do you enjoy dressing your best? Are you looking for some fashion tips? Fashion Club is here for you!

We'll tell you what's hot and what's not, the right colors for your skin tone, the best hairstyles, and of course, the art of accessorizing! And what's more, if you're just as interested in helping the fashion-challenged as we are, we have plenty of openings!

[She's not going to insist on rigid auditions and rules the way Sandi did. As long as someone has a basic sense of style and plenty of enthusiasm, they're fine in her book.]

Aside from giving the fashionably-inclined a place to meet and socialize, Fashion Club will also be offering free advice and makeovers. If you have a special occasion, like a formal event or a date coming up, come to us! We'll make sure you look your absolute best.

[Which is part of why Bulla's glad she talked to her mother about having meetings at the salon. Then they've got the equipment there for the works.]

So come join us at the Pearl Eden salon today!

Not at all. You can pick up on things just by observing and listening, after all.

Like, I bet! But you know, if you're looking to get new members...you're like, totally welcome to set up an information booth at the New Feather Party! You could totally show off your fashion know-how, like, in person!

W-Well, I'm actually not much for like, joining clubs and stuff. Even back home, I only went to the after-school clubs if someone needed me to do stuff...

[But if she's being asked to check it out...she would feel a little bad not accepting the invitation, especially having asked Quinn to set up a booth at the New Feather Party.]

B-But um, y-yeah! Maybe I'll check it out! It does sound kind of fun...!

That's what I'm worried about. You're not going to try some fashion critique reality show setup, are you?

So, he doesn't have to buy me anything.

So how does this work? The whole "looking your best" part?

Okay...so do I go over there now?

Eww, no! Reality shows are so last season!

Oh, that sounds great! I'll definitely bring that up at the meeting!

Right, right.

Well, we'll need to look over your current outfits and your hair, check your skin tone...see, looking your best means wearing colors and styles that flatter your body type and your complexion.

Awesome~! I really hope you decide to do it! I mean, having lots of clubs and stuff to join will really help the New Feathers feel welcome! And I bet lots of people would be interested in a fashion club!

[And there are probably some people who need it, but Pilouette decides to keep that to herself. After all, it's kind of a rude thing to say.]

[Eh, Daria likes her trashy TV. Just not the thought of Quinn being behind it.]

I'll agree if it means you won't try any funny business.

...Does this mean you'll have to come over and look at all my clothes?

I promise, I won't!

Yeah! Bulla and I aren't the only ones into this kind of thing, right? And who doesn't like looking good?

We might, or you could bring over a sample of your wardrobe.

Ah, I can do that. Is your place on the map?

Fine. I'll indulge my curiosity instead.

Just what does constitute fashion when you have people from supposedly all different countries, cultures, and even worlds?

You don't have to join if you don't want to. Fashion Club is also for people who want to stop by and get some fashion advice or a makeover.

[She could have a promising career in sales, if she was so inclined.]

Sure. Or if there's a time that would be better for you, we can help you then, too.

It should be, yeah.

...you just gave me my first brilliant idea, Daria! You're right, every culture has an idea of attractive and popular! I mean, look at the French, they designed glasses after their queen! And Japan's into really cute things, and... [she babbles on and on, writing all this down. For once, geeky school knowledge comes in handy!]

Okay, I'll find it.

[And she'll make her way over to the place, bringing a sample of her wardrobe...which just consists of white robes like what she usually wears.]

It's fine. I can go now.

[And she'll casually walk over to the salon. So, how does she look?]

[Actually..]

I had to admit it, but that's not a bad idea. Show off a lot of different types.

[Quinn and diversity. It's a good thing. A whole parade and range of 'attractive' showing that there never had to be such narrow standards for it.

She can at least hope Quinn gets on that track.]

Right! [Quinn actually feels smart, as if that had been the plan all along. Feeling smart is...still very strange to her, but in this case it's worth it.]
