Dick Grayson 002 Ⓡ video
[The Pokegear snaps on, and Dick, in a nice waiter's shirt, slumps down against a wall and sighs.]
So this is, uh, ridiculously embarrassing.
[His hair's slicked back, too, and he's loosening a little bow tie with his other hand. Tugging at it with a little more force than strictly necessary.]
Exactly, um. Does anyone have any tips for how to... like, not go broke? How do people keep track of money? How do you not run out?
I plead lack of maturity, lack of understanding of the value of a... whatever the unit of currency is here, I don't even know.
And yeah, okay, if you all want a good laugh at my expense, my foster father is a billionaire, both through inheritance and being the CEO of a worldwide corporation. Go ahead, I've heard all the rich kid jokes and I don't really care, I'd just be grateful, in return, for a little--
[There's a voice yelling in the distance, something about not being paid to take breaks; Dick jumps up and shuts off the feed immediately. He does have a work ethic, okay, he was a circus performer until he was nine, but that money was all put in the bank.]

Well, I had to use a net because my parents wouldn't allow me into the no-net routines, but the end point would be the same.

Have you considered making something, dear?

[ Ignoring the irony that is high fashion shows of Canterlot. Good job Rarity. ]

If you do it right, it's not ridiculous.
[...not in a circus, but he'll ignore that for the sake of the point.]
It can be graceful, or powerful, or majestic, aaaaaaand...
[He sort of enjoys drawing that out.]
A lot of that mood is purposefully invoked by costume design.

Bright colors are encouraged.

I believe I could come up with a look that would fit those specifications, and would also make you look quite distinguished. If you're amenable to the idea, of course.

Well, I'm not commissioning anything just yet, so I don't want you to waste your time. But you know, if I could train my Pokemon into some kind of performance troupe, I'd want the costumes designed by someone with a trustworthy reputation.
no subject
If you come calling again, what might I call you, sir?

I don't think of myself as really fashion-aware, so if you got any help out of this, it's probably more to you being observant and in-tune with your art. Good luck.
