(OOC NOTE: Brace yourselves, this is from The Scarlet Pimpernel. I thought it was very entertaining to write.)
Humbled and grounded, the Senator of Ord Mantell walked back inside the grand enterprise building of VOX-Mechanica, a new and prosperous trading guild on Ord Mantell. It was led by none other than Stayssi Vox, brother to the beloved Maddz Vox, who was Phineas's mentor and father figure. When he entered his uncle's office, he was greeted by the happy Rodian who was garbed in such exquisite and exotic clothing. Stayssi embraced Phineas tightly before letting go and looking over Phineas's apparel. "I'm so pleased to be apart of your services, you little bugger!" Stayssi exclaimed.
After Phineas hired Stayssi, he told the Rodian about his plans of vigilantism and Stayssi immediately got to work on figuring out a good disguise for Phin's new alias, while correcting Senator Hawthorne to make sure no one would assume he was the, soon to be, Sun Eater. "I'm glad you were willing to join me- after the way I sullied my reputation at that meeting, I reckon I'll be out of the job when election day comes." Phineas said sadly to his alien uncle. Stayssi only laughed, "My boy, I find no greater honor than working alongside to bring your dream to reality, as you worked to bring mine to life. And now we have the materials to do so!! But, before I show you your garb for the 'Sun Eater', I must explain to you about how must begin to act as Phineas Hawthorne."
Phineas was dragged to a humungous walk in closet- Phineas could've called it a master bedroom if it wasn't filled to the brim with such exotic, well groomed, exquisite, magnificent even, and stylish clothing options. "What's all this for?" Phineas asked with a confused grin.
"Peacocks! Sink me! Think ye, Sir, how those feathered boys love to flaunt their tails. Stallions. Zounds Sir! Hounds, Sir! Stags! Of the goosie and the gander, Sir, who's gender is the grander, Sir, to render total candor, Sir, the splendor is the male's!" Phineas rolled his eyes, the Rodian was known for his extravagance, and sometimes it was unbearable.
"I'm not doing that, Stayssi. I'm going to wield a sword and defend the cave.- So to speak." But as Phin began to speak, a Duros, another man with curly stark white hair, and a purple Nautolan joined Stayssi, also wearing expensive looking clothes.
The Duros spoke first, "What! Oh no, highness, a male's duty is to uphold the banner of beauty!"
Then the man with curly hair, "And you, as prince of our land, must lead the way!"
Then the Nautolan, "Be an example to your sex, give your boot a dapper strap."
Phineas blinked, flustered by the wording- Prince of Ord Mantell??? Surely that was not what they were planning on doing to his reputation. An extravagant, rich, cotton-headed ninimuggin? Otherwise a rich nincompoop, that suddenly sounded smart in senate meetings but only sat there and looked pretty when he wasn't doing anything else.
"And it's smarter if your garter has some snap. Cravats should be flounced about our necks!" Stayssi began shoving all manner of suits and tuxedos into Phin's arms, rendering him speechless as he tried to continue following the chaotic conversation.
"Let the royal coattails flap!"
"Be bewitching with some stitching on your cap."
"Now drape your cape and puff your cuff, embroider those lapels!" The Duros then, very dramatically, tossed the back of his own coattails into the air, while the Nautolan ushered Phineas into a changing room.
Phineas began changing in and out of the exotic clothes, simply thinking it was all way to absurd for the simple man. But...Stayssi had a method to his madness. Maybe Phineas needed to embody someone who could never be a crime-fighting vigilante. Phineas was going to have to suffer through it- and the vibrantly colored blue, gold, and black tuxedo, a matching fedora and jewelry, rings, and a gold watch, to go with it all.
Phineas opened up the door, to show off his style to which, the four shook their head in disapproval.
Then Stayssi did the unimaginable and broke out into song! Phineas was going to die of embarrassment- of course Stayssi wasn't ever this flamboyant. He simply went all in after Phineas told him about finding a way to set himself apart from the World Eater alias. Stayssi probably hated it too, but he was going to do everything in his power to do what was best for Phineas- and the Senator couldn't debate with that sentiment.
"Be the king of the beasts in pastels, La but someone has to strike a pose, and bear the weight of well-tailored clothes-
And that is why the Lord created men!" Sung the Rodian after he shoved Phineas back into the changing room with a more snazzy looking tuxedo. It was way too bright and would've made Phineas looked like a clown- the bright mandarin orange suit coat and blue button up with slightly darker blue slacks and a red tie, that had a very nice pattern, but didn't fit at all with the rest of the outfit. When Phineas opened the door, the other four seemed to agree with Phineas- and the Duros slapped the Nautolan, who must have picked out the outfit. "You're a nincompoop, Blakeney!"
"Why thank you, Sir." The Nautolan said sarcastically, but then turned on Stayssi, "Always said you were, always said leave the fancy dress to the women! Let me be a Warrior, put on a tunic...Bare the legs, a-what?" The Nautolan offered with a cheeky smile.
"Sink me! The man's lost his senses! Bare legs!" Said the curly haired man as Stayssi ushered new clothes to Phineas.
Back to the drawing board, with a new set of clothing, that looked much better...
"Strut Sir!"
"What Sir?"
"Roosters do! Give a cock his comb and the hens will pale Bucks! Bulls!"
"More Sir!"
"Boars, Sir! Rams!"
"Of the nanny-goat and billy, Sir, whose beard is fully wooly, Sir. It's bully for the billy, for he's willy-nilly male!"
Phineas stifled laughter while he changed- Stayssi really was going all out and it was so full proof and persuading that this was how the Rodian always was since he was born.
"Well the male animal is dashing of course, robins redbreast. Moose with antlers!" Noted the Nautolan who received a groan from the other three.
"Sir, Be a lion-hearted prig! Fill those pantaloons with light!" Stayssi challenged, and Phineas almost collapsed out of laughter when the Nautolan stated, "I... could dangle down a spangle out of sight."
"Draw your breeches in quite tight- Even more so and your torso will ignite! Now smock your frock- Perfume your plume!"
"I'll let my waistcoat swing"
"And the jungle will bow to its king!"
The Nautolan seemed to be getting a hang of it, and Phineas was almost finished changing.
"La but someone has to strike a pose,"
"-And bear the weight of well-tailored clothes!"
"-And that is why the Lord created men!"
Finally, Phineas was finished and exited the changing room. He was wearing a luxurious black leather coat with gold and black fur laced around the inside of the coat to give him more of a prestigious flare. His pants were black as well, with his shoes outlined in a gold trimming. Phin wore bulky gold rings on almost all of his fingers and carried a black cane with a gold Loth Wolf head as the handle. He was lavished in expensive glory, and Phineas took it upon himself to pose for his four dressers, who applauded him.
"If you're out to make a splash, Cheri, do know your haberdashery! Buttons, buckles, ruffles, and lace! Represent the short-lived human race!"
"La but someone has to strike a pose, and bear the weight of well-tailored clothes! Each species needs a sex that's fated to be highly decorated!"
"That is why the Lord created men!"
