So... someone mailed me (and Johnny, I think) a bunch of pairs of pants. Thanks, whoever you are? But we've kinda already got enough laundry as it is. Next time you want to give somebody clothes, just go to Goodwill or something.

Completely unrelated to the fact that apparently my pants are what people like to focus on, anybody want to do my bio homework for me? I mean, help me with my bio homework?

Hey. Happy Belated Birthday. I, uh, have something for you? I would've dropped it off at your house on your birthday but you had the party thing at Kate's and it... wasn't quite done yet.

Well, I'd discussed preparing a pair or two for him, but I wasn't responsible for this!

Well, that's one person crossed off the list.

Of course, if you'd prefer I avoided such an offering, I could.

I'm fine, it's up to Johnny if he wants more pants.

Well, it will be possible to still negotiate a feature from the endeavor, though it was originally proposed with the ulterior motive of the aforementioned acquisition.

Have you personally ever considered modeling? Your aesthetic is rather...singular, not one I can recall having worked with previously. But it does not lack its appeal, I think.

Not... really? Why?

As I said, it would be an interesting exercise to attempt something that would satisfy your style. You also appear to have a more than adequate face to be displayed.

Are you... asking me if I want to model for you?

Well, n-not for me personally, but for the magazine! I'm merely one part of a team gathered for such a purpose.

[ long pause ]

Sure. Why the hell not.

Excellent! If you're familiar with the City Lights offices, then feel free to visit at your leisure. Johnny should know the location if you aren't. I'll clear it with Donna, as I doubt she'd have any misgivings to your joining us.

In the meantime, I'll see what sort of ideas I can't foster that would be appropriate for your use.

I'll tag along with Johnny next time he goes to work.

That should accomplish it easily enough. Though our first session may largely involve taking your measurements and discussing what direction would be best for any feature we might include you in.

I certainly doubt I'll have anything of my own design prepared immediately, but we could also experiment with some of the garments already present!

So long as no one sticks me with pins, it sounds like a pretty good deal.

Oh. Well...I'll make a particular note to be careful, then.

Thanks, dude.

Uh.

I'm a girl.

Yeah. I know.

Oh, well, I thought...because of the term you selected...

It's really more of a frequent confusion when conversing through text, so I certainly couldn't understand what would cause it over video, but...well, I'm still not sure how exactly I qualify as a "dude"!

There's not really a feminine version of the word "dude" so... everyone gets called dude.

I see. I notice colloquial phrases in the human lexicon have a consistent frequency of defaulting to masculine expressions. It's a curious quality of your language.

There's probably some explanation for it going back to the days when women were treated like shit and the evolution of language yadda yadda. [ wavey hand gesture ]

[ cue the confusion brought on by being raised in a culture that was, if anything, female-dominated ]

And why in the world would they ever do that?

Do what?

As you just said, "treating them like shit". Did the women simply accept this fate?
