[Forrest is even more dressed up than usual today, rocking a sweet lolita outfit on the advice of his good friend and fellow fashion buff, Speed of Sound Sonic. He seems to be in an exceedingly good mood, judging from the smile on his face and the way his curls have that extra little bounce to them today.]
Hello, everyone! For those of you I haven't met, my name is Forrest, and my passion is making beautiful clothing. Since it seems like I'll be staying here in Takamagahara for a while, I thought I would offer my services to the other gods and their shinki. And so, I'm proud to announce the grand opening of my clothing shop and beauty salon, Heavenly Couture!
[Forrest gives a little twirl in front of the camera, pulling on something just out of frame. A banner unfurls behind him, sporting the name of the business in colorful and fancy hand-drawn letters.]
My first commission is already spoken for, but as of today, I'm officially taking requests. Prices are negotiable based on the complexity and necessary materials, and I promise to work closely with every client to make sure you're completely satisfied. I also offer hair, nail, and skin treatments here at Lakshmi's temple for anyone looking for that little extra touch.
[Smiling sweetly, he laces his fingers together and bows his head to the camera.]
I look forward to seeing you all soon!

[Forrest's voice rings out from the inner chamber, and shortly thereafter he emerges with a smile on his face.]
It's good to see you again.
action
[ She gives him a little wave before folding her hands behind her back. ]
Thank you for inviting me over.
action
[He does enjoy her company, after all.]
action
Oh, I don't want to impose too much...
action
[He's blushing just a bit.]

Re: action
Of course it's okay. I thought we were already friends.
action
I'm... not used to having friends, really...
action
action
Charming? Me?

[Forrest smiles, blushing a little at the compliment.]
Well, then... shall we get started? It won't take long to get your measurements. I just need to know what kind of a fit you're thinking of for the dress.
action
[ She thinks for a moment... or several, more like. ]
Maybe... something loose? And flow-y.
action
[He's getting out his measuring tape while he asks.]
action
action
[He's got the tape out now, and also a pad of paper and a pencil.]

Re: action
[Forrest starts to unfurl the tape, taking one measurement at a time and double checking before writing them down. And then he stretches the tape out in front of her, handing it to her before taking the other ends.]
Here. Last one. Hold this flat against your chest.
[Getting this one can be awkward, so he wants to make sure she's comfortable.]
action
Forrest? How do you come up with such beautiful designs?
action
All right, that should do it.
[He smiles, blushing at the compliment.]
If I had to pin it down to one thing, I'd say I base them on the personality of the person I'm making them for. I try to bring out what's best about them through my designs.
action
So it's like art. Wow...
action
[Forrest giggles a bit, winding up the tape.]
But that's why it's important to take the person wearing it into account. The same outfit will look very different on two different people.
action
[ She knows the pride of someone enjoying what she makes, so she wants her friend to feel that, too. ]
Mm, I think I understand what you mean. The way they hold themselves... right?
action
That's right. The way they hold themselves, their body type, the color of their eyes, skin, and hair... they're all important considerations in fashion.
