"We've made it through a lot so far, I don't think we should let cheese be the straw that breaks our backs tonight," Holly laughed in response. "We've still got cookies left, anyways." Garde nodded and reluctantly chewed on a cookie, still pouting. Being a generous herald of Christmas, Holly had managed to keep a good mood on, even though the hammy death cries of the unseen owner of several lecherous hands were somehow even more annoying than those hands' vulgar actions. With everyone focused on the fire, Zennocracy's wardrobe malfunction went unnoticed... until Uprising laughed about it, at which point everyone turned to see the subject. "Oh dear... I think someone got the wrong holiday," Holly commented, although one had to wonder if metallic, barely covering Christmas shapes would have been any better.
Skywriter waved off Uprising's offering with an awkward smile. "I don't think I need any more food right now. I wouldn't mind trying on another outfit though... f-from the nice batch that Lyntael sent," she responded, feeling a little guilty for just trying out another safe bet costume. "Let's see..."
CarolingMelody.GMO
This outfit was designed by Lyntael, for Skywriter. It is themed mostly after the Melody virus, with a few accessories to suggest seasonal caroling. While the head is left uncovered for this costume, a slight styling of Sky's hair has been applied to make the back of it resemble the stem and tail of a musical note. It's not over-stated, so coupled with the natural shortness of her hair, it more resembles a cute affectation, rather than an actual representation. Also supplied are optional stud earrings in the image of little melodies - they come with an alternate press clip attachment in case her ears aren't pierced. A purple scarf that matches her hair is also provided. This one is a tight weave, the trail of which will fall over the back and down to the waist, after a single wrap around. It has a deliberate fray edge, with a pleased-looking melody picked out in white stencil just before the end. Taking off the scarf will reveal a delicate lace choker at the neck, in the same shade of purple, with a small flat-cut amethyst in the centre.
For the main outfit, the top half is another warm-looking pull-over. This one is purple and bears a large representation of Melody eyes over the bust, with the mouth below, across the midriff. The jumper is of a fine knit, so it's warm but not bulky at all. It also comes with a ruff collar made of white wool, and similar white wool cuffs at the ends of the sleeves. It's cute and homely, in a good way, but given the warm environment it might not stay on for long. Underneath the sweater is a lighter, more refined outfit, thin and breathable and the perfect thing for switching too after getting warm again from being out in the cold. In this case, it's an elegant and close fit dress that sits flat to the shoulders and has a 'v' front, with lacework edges. The fabric is a pastel shade of purple, and is particularly thin, though not quite enough to endanger its opacity. Below the waist seam, the dress fans out slightly, falling in neat waves to the knees. The jumper ends at about the waist line anyway, so regardless of what portions of the outfit are kept on or removed, it should still look nice. Warm purple stockings are visible between the end of the dress and the boots, which are a deep blue with white cuffs, and a very slightly raised heel.
Though the dress itself is sleeveless, the outfit does come with a dark blue set of elbow-length gloves, which match the boots. the total effect is that with the whole outfit on, Skywriter will look rugged up warm for a night out in the snow, while removal of the sweater, scarf and cold-weather gear, will reveal a simple, understated beauty that is nonetheless quite elegant. As a finishing touch, instead of the Melody's normal implements the .GMO comes with a carol book in one hand, full of seasonal song lyrics, and a small caroler's candle in the other, complete with cardboard wax-guard to protect the hand. On the whole, the outfit is... very purple.

"Aw, it's cute... it matches my hair," Skywriter commented, feeling love-at-first-sight with her new costume. "It's a bit warm with the um... recent fire, though," she admitted, shedding off some of the layers. It might be kind of sexy to watch, if the competition wasn't so stiff from the rest of the night's activities. When she'd gotten down to just the light dress and various accessories, she gave a sigh of relief. "I'm keeping this one! It's so me~" she sighed happily, cutting a dangerously alluring figure in the thin gown.
Garde seemed confused for a moment when Zennocracy proposed that they'd done good tonight. "Well, I suppose any opportunity to show off my bikini figure is doing a public service, but..." she started, pressing a palm to her cheek, before raising her eyebrows. "Oh, right! The donations. Yes, we did do a good 'zing," she agreed, nodding with a confident smile. "Zat's what I'm all about! Helping o'zers."
"You'll be the first person I call the next time I want to be nude in public again," Holly responded with a sarcastic smile. "Which may very well be next year!"
