Nothing! The incongruity is what makes it funny.

[suntones]

maybe something other than a giraffe? it's a bit too close to feeling like i'm poking fun at keiki.

[The beauty of kirin and giraffe being homonyms in Japanese at play.]

[badlucklady]

Sports team mascot? An ice cream sandwich? Kasa-obake?

[suntones]

do people really dress up as ice cream sandwiches?

[badlucklady]

*Sexy* ice cream sandwiches.

[suntones]

how would you even
what would make a
what?

[badlucklady]

Are you asking me to demonstrate?

[suntones]

does explaining require a demonstration?

[Normalize answering questions with answers, Warren!!]

[badlucklady]

If it did not require a demonstration you would not have asked for an explanation. Use your imagination, Youko! Think of the creamy vanilla nestled in chocolate's inescapable embrace!

[suntones]

i don't think my imagination can do enough heavy lifting on this one to make it make sense.

[badlucklady]

No? A white body suit hugging every curve. A short skirt, a low cut square-neck top... If you keep inspiring *my* imagination this will end up as your final costume, my lady.

[suntones]

... i think i'd rather go as a vampire if you're just going to shoehorn me into something for asking questions.

[badlucklady]

You're that eager to get in my pants, hmm? Very well! Hand-me-downs it is!

[suntones]

THAT'S NOT REMOTELY WHAT I
WHY WOULD I BE WEARING YOUR
I'M NOT GOING TO DRESS UP AS YOU!

[badlucklady]

Of course not, you're far too short.

[suntones]

[ABNORMALLY TALL JERK SAYS 'WHAT?']

then why would i need hand-me-downs?

[badlucklady]

[Can you even hear him from way down there.]

To be a fabulous Nosferatu! My silks and satin will make you cry, Youko. And that's only the shoes!

[suntones]

can't i just wear whatever as long as i get some fake fangs?

[badlucklady]

Only if you want a trophy for Greatest Missed Opportunity Ever.

[suntones]

you're a pretty clear example of a vampire wearing whatever they want. shouldn't that get me points for accuracy?

[badlucklady]

I am incognito; A monster hiding among humans. And most unhappily of all, the time of men wearing pastel opulence has passed. Accuracy be damned, live deliciously. THAT is the vampire way.

[suntones]

being trapped in silks and satins isn't exactly my definition of living deliciously...

[badlucklady]

Your life as an Empress has been a difficult one, and you take no solace in its fashion? That is truly a shame. How's this: smudged kohl, black leather jacket, and an ankh around neck.

[suntones]

just picture the five layers of heavy robes and however many pounds of gold ornaments you think my hair could hold, and i think you'll have a decent idea of why i don't enjoy it.

[Her court ministers may be eternally pissed she dresses down for their audiences, but her poor neck thanks her profusely.]

that... could work. any particular reason for an ankh?

[badlucklady]

Of course, the old 'why does my concubine have a headache' mystery. If nothing else, if *I* were the one dressing you in soft finery I promise relaxation.

The ankh was a popular accessory a few decades ago. An ironic one.
