[Oh look who it is! It's your resident, deluded God. It seems they have crawled out of whatever hole they had been hidden in for the past month, looking just as thoughtful as ever]

Hello, Hinoto-Ri. A lot has occurred recently, hasn't it? I heard there had been a mystical journey to an alternative world! I wish I could have gone. It would have been amazing to see the denizens of the other world, to see how they lived and acted... differences occur in different worlds, as Hinoto-Ri is-

Oh, my apologies. I have rambled.

In any case, I am certain that many of you have discussed the events that have passed extensively between yourselves. My discussion is of a trivial, yet very important matter! A recent conversation has made me ponder over something that still eludes me, and relates to my previous comments on how my world, and Hinoto-Ri, are very different from one another.

What is fashion?

I did not know what this was when first arriving here, but I have read and researched the subject, and fashion seems to be a very important cultural and social aspect of humanity! Just having the correct clothes, worn in the correct way, with the correct brand allows you to climb the social ladder with ease! I don't really understand it, but the concept of it fascinates me!

I would love to hear your opinions on it! Let us begin a discussion!

I don't get it as much as some people do, but I know that people like to be seen as 'on top' of the latest trends. It's kind of a marker that you're in an elite group - one that knows stuff about how clothes are supposed to look.

[selfgodded]

I see, I see! So I was correct in assuming that the more fashionable the person, the more they would be in demand for socialising!

[poweryetunknown]

Usually. Though that doesn't really mean anything about the quality of the person as a person. There's lots of people who are jerks even if they dress well. There's also people who aren't who don't dress well. But some people can be kind of shallow and just judge people based on how they look.

[selfgodded]

Hm, in a society based on ability to impress and speak, that is no surprise. Humans do tend to judge firstly by looks and appearances before allowing themselves to extend to the personality.

Ha. Ha. Ha. Of course this is not always true! Sometimes the worse off the human looks, the more trustworthy they are as a camaraderie of suffering!

[... You're weird.]

I guess? Then again usually someone who looks really terrible is a sign that they don't care about themselves and usually means there's something wrong with them mentally. At least that's the perception.

[selfgodded]

Or that perhaps they are in trouble, such as loss of home, or have been attacked. Such things normally spark the compassion response in humans.

[poweryetunknown]

True, though there's not as many compassionate people in the world as you'd hope.

[There's enough, though. He's learned that much.]
