[Anyone who takes a trip into Sector 5 and wanders a few blocks from the main shopping district might just turn a corner and find yourself overshadowed by a large red tent that takes up half of the street. It's tall structure billows only gently from the wind, not affected by the heavy snowfall.

Should you enter the tent, you'll find a large black rug has been placed just beyond the entrance--wipe your feet please?--and beyond that tables have been set up for refreshments and small talk during the show. The light is bright, the music low, but pulsing, and it's not as cold as one would think it would be--the joy of electric space heaters, what a marvelous invention. Jutting out from between the tables in the front of the tent is a catwalk, where models walk up and down, displaying the fashions as the announcers talk over the loudspeaker. The stage is not so large as to span from one side of the tent to the other, but it's big enough. There's a black curtains in the back and the design of it all is both elegant and showy.

Three sides of the tent are tied down, blocking out the cold, but the fourth wall has been tied up connecting to the blue awning of the white-stone building beside it. Painted on the glass windows in blue green is the name of the boutique: Trés Magnifique. Are you interested in a tour?]

{OOC: To make this easier for everyone, respond in your header with one of the following: Pre-Show, Mingle, Fashion Show, Boutique Tour, Backstage, and After Party. Threadjack to your hearts' delights! I won't be able to micro-manage everything, but if your character is modeling and needs an announcer, do make note of that, because Josak will be there!}

[Otoha is out and about for his patrol. He's glad to get get the exercise today - he's spent most of the day reading. He's a little disappointed that he hasn't gotten any good sparring done in a while, but no matter.]

[It's been relatively quiet so far, but his shift is just beginning.]

[[ooc; Otoha is mainly patrolling in sectors 2, 3, and 4. Please put the sector you're running into him in the header, thanks. /o/ ]]

[After Lacus left, Hiling stretched herself out on the couch, face down. It was comfortable enough she could easily fall asleep. There was no way she was going to even attempt to teach dance class alone. Particularly not in the state she was in. She hadn't bothered to make an announcement or put up a notice alerting students of the cancellation for the day. They could figure it out themselves.]

((ooc: Action open to PM and Revive. This also serves as the post to direct calls inquiring about Ribbons' absence and/or dance class.))

[Rin was gone.

He wonders why it affects him so much, why did it make him so sad. It wasn't his real sister, after all... But deep inside, he knew, it didn't really matter. It was still Rin, and now she was gone. Why didn't he use his time with her better? They didn't talk much, after all...

So there he was, just thinking, sitting outside the shelter and watching the snow fall.]
