paradisa | Chance 002 // dictated

[When Cristina asked the castle for things to make a certain time of the month a little easier, she wasn't quite sure what to expect, but it certainly didn't include these things. See, being from the Renaissance age means that pads, tampons, and medication to help with the pain are very new things to her and she has no idea what to do with them. This is why she has done the only thing she could think of to get help with this: consult the journal. And sorry boys, she doesn't think to filter this only to the female population of Paradisa meaning you all get to hear this, too.]

It seems that even being relocated to a futuristic castle cannot stop certain monthly events from occurring. I had hoped that since so much of the technology here is meant to make life easier there would be something to help with this, but I am not certain what to do with the things the castle gave me.

[There's a pause before she continues. This is no less awkward to say than it probably is to hear.]

Such as these.... tampons. How does something like this help? And where are the pads supposed to go? And can these tiny objects really ease the pain if you swallow them?

[She has so many questions, but she figures that's a good place to stop.]

And I have obviously never met her.

[How does he say sexy-as-hell in front of Cristina? Or without making hand gestures at tits?]

No one in our time would bare so much skin.

Does she go sleeveless or something?

[And she'll just continue waiting for further explanation. She's not in quite as cheerful a mood as she was earlier..]

No, it's more cleavage, practically to her navel.

Oh. Got it.

[She glances at Cristina. In a teasing tone:] I hope you don't have your heart set on a dress that shows that much.

I would never wear something like that.

[That sounds.... awful. How could anyone wear something that revealing unless they were a courtesan?]

[He guessed she would never wear something like that. He feels bad for being a little disappointed.]

I didn't think so, Cristina.

If we can't find something you're comfortable with, we can always put a jacket over it or something. [She smiles a little, remembering how Lucrezia handled modern clothing.]

Are they all as revealing as that?

No, bella, of course not.

[Steph nods.]

I'm just saying--I don't know how comfortable you might be with exposed arms or shoulders. That's pretty common.

[Modern fashion will take some getting used to.]

I think something to go over it would be good. Perhaps I will be more open something more revealing later, but... It is still very different from what I am used to.

Ease into it, I suppose. But Lucrezia warmed up to future clothing fast enough, I doubt you will be any less quick, Cristina.

I understand. And there's no rush, anyway. It's not like there's fashion police running around, yelling at people for not wearing modern clothes.

Perhaps it will be different when I am actually able to see the clothes.

[Amused.]

Molotov is the fashion police for the wedding, at least. She included a note with the invitation just to lecture me on it.

And you guys came to me? I'm touched. [No pressure...]

You have been very helpful with everything so far, I am sure it will be the same with this.

Stephanie is the most helpful person I know.

Now I guess I really can't put you guys in ugly outfits.

Did you really have any intention of doing that anyway?

[Laugh]

Cristina is beautiful enough that she could make any outfit look incredible.

Just kidding! You'll both look great, I know it.

I am sure we will, too, with your help.
