Chapter 2-9: This Fit Is On Point

"Yeah! I got you all some traditional Scalding Sands attire," Kalim says.

Everyone is surprised by it, "You did?!"

"I talked with Jamil yesterday about what we could do to make your trip more memorable," Kalim adds.

"I hope you don't consider it presumptuous, but since you came all this way to visit the Scalding Sands... We prepared these for you so you could truly immerse yourself in the history of the area. We hope they will enhance your enjoyment of the Yasamina River Fireworks Fest as well," Jamil says.

"So this is what Asim's cryptic 'you'll see' was about. How very thoughtful of you," Malleus says.

Cater also happily says, "This is just too much! Thanks, Kalim. You too, Jamil."

"That's very nice of you guys," Briar says.

"I was dreading having to wear my long-sleeved uniform the whole time. Thanks, this is great," Trey says.

Kalim then says to Jamil, "You should get changed too, Jamil. Oh, and would you show everyone where to go?"

"Sure thing," Jamil says.

"Hm? How come I gotta wait too?" Grim asks.

"Well, you see..." Kalim says.

And Jamil says, "I'm afraid we don't have an outfit for you."

"What?! Mraaah!" Grim cries out.

"What do you want from me? I couldn't just conjure an outfit in your size with only a day's notice. And it will be very difficult to make Trinket's outfit because she's so small," Jamil says.

Trinket sounds a bit disappointed about the comment, but understands. It's hard to make a fairy's outfit of her size.

Grim shouts, "EXCUSES! Just admit you forgot about me, why don'tcha? Maaan, I wanted some cool new duds too!"

But Grim reassures, "Aw, come on, Grim! You still get to relax in a nice air-conditioned car. And we've got plenty of drinks and snacks for you!"

"Snacks, you say? In that case, I'll let you off the hook. Now lay those treats on me!" Grim says, quickly changing his tune.

"Of course he changed his mind when it comes to food," Jasper says.

"I think that's what Grimmy would've picked anyway, given the choice," Cater says.

Let's get the rest of you to the fitting room. Oh, and you can leave your luggage with the staff," Jamil says.

"Coming from a working-class background, it feels pretty weird getting the red-carpet treatment," Trey says.

"Okay Grim, you stay here while you get dressed," Briar says.

"Knock yourself out! I'll be right here eatin'!" Grim says.

Sometime later...

Kalim, Grim, and Trinket, are having snacks.

Grim eats and says, "These things are real good! They're like a mix between chilled churros and donuts!"

"Oh yeah, I love those. They're really good with a drizzle of syrup," Kalim says.

"Goes great with this extra-strong iced tea..." Grim says and continues eating.

Trinket has a small cup that she drinks from as well.

"There's plenty more good food in town too. I hope you try lots of things while you're here," Kalim says.

"You bet I will! I'm the gourmand-iest guy around!" Grim happily says.

Trinket also thanks Kalim for the food and drink.

Soon, they hear Trey's voice, "Thanks for waiting, Kalim. I'm all changed now."

Kalim, Grim, and Trinket look to see Trey in his attire. His attire is a green white, and gold top with blue around the shirt area. White sleeves with gold laces. He also has two metallic bracelets on his arms. He is wearing some kind of sash around his waist and black leggings and anklets on his legs. He is also wearing a bluish color head scarf around his head and has a flower on it.

"I gotta say, I didn't expect you to get us such nice clothes," Trey says.

"You look great, Trey!" Kalim says.

Soon Cater walks out. He is wearing a similar outfit to Trey's, but he mainly contains red and orange colors. And his head accessory is more wrapped around his head like a turban with the same flower. Hater is also wearing earrings as well

"This fit is on point! I feel great just wearing it. Talk about ULTRA 'cammable. I've taken so many selfies already!" Cater says and takes a selfie of himself.

And next is Mallues, his clothes color scheme contains purple and blue. His clothes also contain black sleeves, and his headscarf that also goes around his neck area. Of course, his horns are also sticking out of the headdress as well.

"How exciting. The opportunity to dress in another land's traditional attire is a most valuable learning experience," Malleus says with a calm smile.

And then Tanzantie and Jasper comes out.

Jasper's outfit is reddish and yellow and has a head scarf wrapped around his head like a headband.

Tanzanite's outfit consists of blue and violet, and has a similar headgear to Cater's head accessory.

"I have to admit, this is a very nice outfit," Tanzanite says.

"Gotta admit, it looks cool," Jasper says.

"Our clothes have the same pattern, but the different colors really make us pop. Plus, it's neat seeing you in something other than black, Malleus!" Cater says.

"Do I look strange to you?" Malleus asks.

"Uh, no, you look FANTASTIC," Cater comments, "It's not your usual vibe, but you can totally rock bright colors!"

"Heh. I'll take the compliment, even if you are just saying that. And likewise, Diamond. Bright colors suit you quite well. You look so colorful and eye-catching, much like fireworks," Malleus says.

"Whoa... You mean that straight up, no joke? I kinda don't know what to say," Cater replies, "But it's nice to hear! Thanks," Then turns to Trey, "And don't think I don't see you standing awkwardly over there, Trey. You look great too, of course!"

Trey giggles, "Hahaha... Thanks."

Then Cater says, "And let's not forget you two. Even in different color schemes. you both seem to be the same. Shows about you two being twins, but have separate personalities.

"Thank you, Cater," Tanzanite says.

"Thanks," Jasper replies.

"I'm so glad you're all happy with your clothes," Kalim happily says.

Soon, Jamil walks over, "It's been a while since I've dressed in traditional attire, myself."

Everyone looks to see Jamil's outfit is different from the others.

Jamil's outfit consists of a head scarf wrapped around his head and his long hair is in a bun with gold accessories on it. His outfit seems to be a similar style to the others, but his is purple, red, a little bit of blue, and gold. He also has a sash around his waist, and looks like he's wearing a cloak.

"It makes me feel like I'm really back home," Jamil says.

Everyone is surprised to see Jamil, "Oooh!"

"You are working that outfit, Jamil," Trey says.

"I almost didn't recognize you, Viper," Malleus says.

"Nice! Your threads are the fanciest of all. I gotta post this!" Cater says.

"Have to admit, you look very different in your normal attire," Tanzanite says.

"Yeah," Jasper agrees.

"Don't make me feel TOO awkward now. That's enough about me. We're just waiting for Briar and Sereia to finish changing now."

Kalim soon becomes disappointed a bit, "Aww, man! I wish I could've joined in the fun."

"You have more important things to do— namely, making the rounds with all the Fireworks Fest associates," Jamil points out, "You were selected for the highly-respected role of housewarden at the prestigious Night Raven College. And that's why your father told you to come to the party in your uniform, right?"

"Yeah, but still!" Kalim says.

"Guys, we're ready," Sereia's calls out.

Everyone turns to see the outfit Sereia is wearing. She is wearing an aquamarine green crop top and long skirt. She is also wearing black leggings underneath. The outfit also has a sash around her waist and has gold designs on it. She also has gold hoop earrings with metallic bracelets on her wrists as well. Her hair is also placed in a ponytail and it has a flower on the base of her hair.

"Aww, you look really adorbs, Sereia. You look like one of those little dolls," Cater says.

"Thank you, but you should really see how Briar looks," Sereia says.

Soon, Briar walks out to show everyone her outfit, everyone is astonished to see how Briar looks.

Briar's outfit is very different from the others, more feminine. The color scheme is some silver and gold, but the main color of the outfit is turquoise green. She is wearing a short sleeved off shoulder crop top with harem pants. The top is decorated with gold and silver laces and designs. The pants are flowing embroidered with gemstones and flower designs on it. And a sheer fabric skirt around her is wearing a gold tiara on her head, decorated with some matching gemstones like her clothes. She is wearing a flower on the back of her hair with a strain of sheer fabric attached with some silver shine on it. She is wearing gold hooped earrings, and a gold chain necklace with a turquoise gemstone attached in the shape of a flower. She is wearing short heel shoes.

Briar bushes a bit and asks, "So um, what do you all think?"

Everyone is very impressed.

"Wow, Briar, you look fantastic too! That outfit works great on you!" Kalim happily says.

"Of course it does. That's MY hench-human, after all. But yeah, gold star for you, I guess," Grim says.

"Grim!" Tanzanite and Jasper says, annoyed.

"I should hope so. I took steps to ensure they would," Jamil says.

"I can only wonder how you got our sizes... That's Jamil for you, I guess," Trey replies.

"Well, I think Briar looks really beautiful. She looks like a real princess," Sereia says.

"Considering that she was actually a princess. I think the attire is perfect," Tanzanite says.

"Yeah. It looks very nice," Jasper says.

Trinket happily nods in reply

"Um thank you," Briar says.

She then walks to Malleus who looks rather surprised to see Briar's attire.

"So um, Mal, what do you think? Is it okay?" Briar asks.

Malleus smiles and says, "I think it looks very elegant. I think you look very beautiful in it."

Briar blushes and smiles, "Thank you."

The two look at each other with smiles on their faces.

Grim snickers, "Well, it looks like Tsunotaro is awestruck by my henchman's looks," And laughs, "Then again, those two are always having some reason to see each other, or even look at each other."

Sereia shushes them, "Grim, don't tease them."
