[Voile has probably never looked so 'deadpan' when addressing the network, but in all honesty, it hasn't been the easiest time. In spite of raining donuts, which she went out of her way to avoid to the best of her ability.]

I have two things to bring up, which I'd meant to sooner, however wasn't sure when would be the right time.

I would like to host a contest for the end of this year, consisting of winter fashions, much the way the first contest was held. Based on various strengths of the competitors and featuring prizes this time around that will be more appropriate than some of what was offered previously.

For this, I'd like to enlist the assistance of one tall and somewhat muscular person, and one smaller, petite frame for some tailoring and advertisement purposes.

I'm also curious to know if there's anyone who continues to be interested in occasional Host Club gatherings. If so, I'd like to be responsible for those if no one has any objections.

Haha! If you say so, Buddy!

[reservedempath]

Are you saying you don't believe me?

[monotreme_101]

Not that I don't believe ya. Just think that maybe we have different definitions of what makes a guy Useful, y'know?

[reservedempath]

And what do you think makes a guy practical, hm?

[monotreme_101]

Y'know. Doing things. Lifting things, moving things, hauling things, building things, sometimes breaking things that need to be broken. That's the kinda stuff that makes me feel useful, anyhow.

[reservedempath]

Are those the only things that make you feel useful, Knuckles?

[monotreme_101]

That's most of what makes me feel useful day to day, y'know? I got strength - if I'm not usin' it to help folks then that's a waste. Y'know?

[reservedempath]

There's so much more to you than simply strength, though. I don't think you should capitalise on that, and I can see how that would be hard. For your entire life, people have probably commended you for your strength and not the other things, so maybe you think it's your most important asset, but I couldn't agree with that.

[She shakes her head.]

There is a lot more to you.

[monotreme_101]

Aw! See? You're just way too kind to me. You might be right, though - At least a couple folks seem to think so.

Speakin' of, did you happen to see Goombella's post with the good news in it?

[reservedempath]

[Voile nods.]

I did. Congratulations to you both. I have no idea what a wedding entails, as I've never seen one and it's really the first time I've heard the word. But if clothes are involved and you need a seamstress, I'm sure I could help out.

If you need me to, of course.

[monotreme_101]

Huh... You think you could do a Tux? I was gonna get a new one anyhow and I'd rather be givin' you the business than someone else.

[reservedempath]

A tux... You mean a tuxedo, right? I assume you mean for you.

[She nods again.] As long as you came by the contest hall for fittings, I could get your measurements, and call you in while I'm working on it to make sure it sits on you properly. Suits are difficult and I want to make sure it's comfortable on you and that it looks good.

[monotreme_101]

Right on both counts, buddy! A Tuxedo for Me. And if it ain't too much trouble, a bow-tie too.

I don't mind comin' down for measurements or anything - I'm happy to do it. We can figure out a price and everything then too.

[reservedempath]

A price. You make it sound like I would actually want to be paid for it. If anything, your payment is just by being a walking piece of advertisement for my tailoring skills. Is that good enough for you?

[monotreme_101]

Nope. I'm not gonna be satisfied unless I'm givin' you some cash for your time and effort. You're good at what you do so you don't need to be doing it for free!

[reservedempath]

But you are my friend. I would not wish to do so for you and expect something in return...

[monotreme_101]

Exactly! You're one of my very best friends so I wouldn't want you to do something like that for me without doin' something for you in return. Seems fair, right?

[reservedempath]

I guess so, but I still don't feel like I need anything. I'm happy just to be a part of it, actually.

[monotreme_101]

Well, see, I WANT you to be a part of it, y'know? So it's not like I'm not getting something out of it besides the Tux. I wanna walk myself down the aisle wearing a Voile original.

...not that the groom does that much walking. From what I've seen on MewTube I'm already there at the altar and it's Goombella that does most of the legwork. But still! Gotta look good while I'm standin' there, right?

[reservedempath]

I know you do. I'm rather excited to have a part in things, honestly. Thank you for the opportunity. I'll make sure I do you proud.

[Although she doubts that such a thing would be difficult.]

[monotreme_101]

Ya couldn't let me down if ya tried, buddy!

Just lemme know when you want me to stop in for measurements and stuff, OK?

[reservedempath]

Whatever's of your convenience. I'll make myself available for you. It's your wedding, after all.

[monotreme_101]

How's tomorrow afternoon after class work for you?
