Summary: Teenagers put on fancy clothing and run around the port.
Warnings: ... Teenagers put on fancy clothing and run around the port.

Jake hadn't used the suit Yukari had forced him to buy since the fancy little event the two of them had gone too. In all honestly, it was not as comfortable to wear as his normal set of shirts and shorts. However, it was sort of a reminder of the two roommates he'd had before his friends from "home" showed up, and he'd moved in with them. It was kind of nice to be able to take out something like this and have a chance to recall Travis and Yukari. Yukari especially, after all she'd saved his life after he'd been caught in an explosion in his very first apartment ever.

Come to think of it, Jake really didn't have much luck when it came to his houses not blowing up.

Those memories aside though, Jake really didn't have much use for a suit. He had something to wear at work, and he had more than enough things to wear on his own time now (again, thanks to Yukari), so the suit was just sort of left to sit there most of the time.

He wasn't sure why he had pulled it out of his sylladex and was looking it over right now. Maybe just for something to do, or maybe because a guy in a suit had reminded him earlier he had this thing in the first place.

Jane swallows thickly, and takes another few steps into the room, kicking off her shoes in the process. Her dad's ties always seemed to pop into existence, fully tied with expert precision, but having lived fifteen years with a well-dressed businessman, she thinks she has an idea of how it's all done.

"Jake, have you ever even worn one of these before?" Sorry, Jake, but you're getting your personal space invaded now, by a pair of hands intent on fixing this mess you've made of your necktie. "Like this. You don't tie it in a knot."

As she works on the tie, she keeps her eyes low and her lips pursed in concentration. "We should go ahead and leave, before it starts to get late." She looks back at Roxy and Dirk. "Are you guys almost ready?"

As soon as Roxy spots Dirk, she's instantly by his side. It's almost as if she's forgotten about her burned ear. "Wasn't this the best fucking idea ever, Dirk?" she squeals, holding onto his arm excitedly.

She quiets down as Jane sets forth on fixing Jake's necktie, and a mischievous smirk reaches her lips. Sorry, Jane, but you're about to get a bunch of obnoxious eyebrow waggling from your girl friend. Roxy's sneaky enough to make sure it goes unnoticed by Jake, though.

"Oh, I'm ready," she finally answers. She lets go of Dirk's arm to pull up her dress a bit. "Just need to get my necklace and earrings on!"

It's not like it's hard for Jake to miss that right now. He was going to make a snappy comment back at Dirk and his obnoxious, digital self, but Jane sort of distracted him by making a beeline towards him and fussing with his tie. He blatantly stares down at her for a moment before clearing his throat and looking up at the ceiling. This is very... domestic.

Not that he really minds domestic. He does look just a little flustered by the whole thing though.

"Yukari fixed it for me last time. It's not as if I've ever had an occasion to bother with a tie before."

He tugs one of the sleeves on his suit to straighten it out a little, and distract him from Jane being right there.

"I wouldn't say ever." Or at all, Roxy. But beyond tucking his hands into his pockets and watching the English/Crocker mess, he's not going to do much else. He'll even be generous and let the AR keep the holographic function on, it's not as if it affects his vision any.

"If you need to add to your outfit, you're not ready Rox. You should do that now, they're almot done." He pauses for only a moment to gesture to the new and improved shades, with one singular rhinestone glued to the top left hand corner. He's even decked out his little program friend.

"We're ready." Did you just...Fail to pay attention to anyone else, Janey dear?

He'd tried to convince Dirk to add more rhinestones, a couple flashing LED lights and a big obnoxious feather. Needless to say none of that happened because Dirk hates happiness.

"My particular levels of swagger tonight will be penciled in on dangerous, hovering towards life-threatening. Keep an eye on the heart rate of anyone we cross, I wouldn't want to be responsible for any number of untimely trips to the hospital because of my bodacious bod tonight."

Jane looks back at Dirk and the AR, and chuckles in her own rosy-grandma way. "You are looking pretty snappy, tonight. Someone might need to follow me with a stretcher." She smiles at Dirk, then at Roxy, before noticing how close she is still standing to Jake - a realization that is apparent on her face as she shuffles back across the room to her discarded shoes, pulling up her dress again as she goes.

"Go finish up, Lalonde. We need to get going!" She slips one foot into its heel, but has to steady herself on the doorway to do the other one. Her feet are not meant for these silly contraptions, darn it.

At Jane's prompt, Roxy bounces along after her, surprisingly pretty alright in her own heels. Once she's in their room, she begins putting on her earrings.

"Hey, Crocker. What can I do about this?" After she's put the stopper on the second earring, she pulls her hair away to reveal the minor burn on her ear. "It stings like hell!"

Jake tugs at the collar of his shirt once Jane finishes up. The tie isn't overly tight or anything of the sort, but boy does it feel a little harder to breathe all of the sudden. It's a good thing that Dirk and his AR are there to ramble on inanely at the moment.

Once Jane has skipped off, Jake twists his neck so he can look himself over, and he looks about as ready as he thinks he can be for something like this, considering he's not much of a formal occasion kind of guy.

"I'm sure people will manage to stay on their feet just fine." Jane can fluff up his ego all she wants, because Jake will be there to tear him down whenever possible.

He walks towards the door where everyone is gathered around the time Roxy shows back up.
