Pixie Dust, Saturday

[always-damp.livejournal.com]

Toby found he liked this whole random mistletoe thing and sat in the doorway of a dressing room, chatting with one of the plants.

"So, try and look like, extra perky if a cute boy comes in the shop today. Not like I wouldn't kiss an ugly boy." Okay, even Toby knew that was a lie. "But I'd really like to kiss a cute one and you, like being here all of a sudden totes makes me think I'm gonna get the chance to during the day and not in some skanky club wearing too much body glitter." What was he saying? There was never too much.

Pixie Dust was open, even if the store seemed rather empty at the moment.

Dick hadn't had a great week. In addition to the stuff from the weekend and breaking up with Ella, his pen exploded this morning and ink got all over one of his sweatervests. And where else would he go for a nice sweatervest than Pixie Dust? Dick honestly didn't know, so he had to try here.

"Excuse me?" Dick said. "Do you guys sell sweatervests?"

Toby stepped into the main portion of the store. "Hey Dick!" And man did Toby ever love that name. "Did I miss the return of sweatervests?"

"They never went away," Dick said in complete seriousness. "At least, they never did in sane universes."

The guy loved his sweatervests.

"Seriously man, they went far away," Toby replied, concerned for Dick's style. "We could like, cut off the arms of a real sweater for you?"

"No, that's missing the whole point of the sweatervest," Dick said. "It's not just a sleeveless sweater. It's a sweater and a vest, all rolled into one. And you don't make a vest by chopping the arms off a shirt."

"Oh gods, do you mean the ones with the buttons on the front?" Toby's face contorted in horror. "Are you like, Mr. Roger's son?"

"Of course not, don't be silly," Dick said. "I go with pullovers."

[always-damp.livejournal.com]

"Oh, so just like a v-neck or something?" Toby was pretty sure Dick was trying to break his brain with this ungodly talk of sweatervests.

"Yeah, that would be perfect. Do you have anything like that here?" Dick asked.

[always-damp.livejournal.com]

"Um, sort of?" Toby said, moving over to a rack that was clearly intended for the burning room. "I could give you this for free, actually." (http://adn.is.bluefly.com/mgen/Bluefly/prodImage.ms?productCode=301543301&width=340&height=408)

"Really?" Dick asked. He tended to prefer solid colors, but that plaid all together did seem to give it something of a seasonal look. It would make due until he could get back to a store that actually knew something about sweatervests in Gotham. "That would be great. Thanks!"

"You, my friend, are very welcome," Toby said, hoping Romeo didn't get on him about letting people wear ugly clothes. "Just like, don't tell anyone where you bought it."

"Are you sure?" Dick asked. When people found out that he got such a great sweatervest from this store, they would be sure to flock here.

Granted, he didn't recall ever seeing anyone else in Fandom with a sweatervest. Clearly that was because they didn't know where to get them.

"Oh yeah, totes sure," Toby promised, nodding enthusiastically. "Let me know if you manage to bring back that look, though."

"I definitely will," Dick said. "Thanks again!"
