CLOTHING ADVENTURES

Who: Anyone! Everyone!
What: Clothes were requested. Clothes are now granted.
When: morning of the 22nd initially
Where: meet me at the room that's literally filled to the brim with clothing in 15 minutes
Warnings: It's just clothes, what could possibly go wrong!
Notes: Everyone gets free clothes whether they participated in the actual request or not. CLOTHES FOR THE ENTIRE ISLAND.


There's a room in the Storyteller's temple; it was once empty, and now it's...not. It is, in fact, full of clothing of all sorts, to the point that it might be slightly difficult to find exactly what you're looking for.

Oh well. It's there now, no takebacks.

They have, uh...blackberry liquor. And water. With ice.

[It is, shall we say, a loose definition of the word "restaurant." Sometimes that spider lady tries to get you to take coconut cookies, because she clearly has too many of them and would really like to stop looking at them.]
uptightness: (pb } converse)

So very limited menu.

[Carolina supposes it could be worse. No menu. Hunting for your food. Starting fires... Back to the basics.

Yet it fits with this place. Limited menu. Limited clothes.

Beggars can't be choosers.]


Although I'm surprised about the ice.
counterblows: (} before they get it right)

[personal profile] counterblows 2018-09-15 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Someone makes it. I guess with... [HEAVY. SIGH. HE HATES TO BE THE ONE TO SAY IT. BUT.] ...uh, magic.

[He hates to be the one to have to say it, but there it is. He has Said It.]
uptightness: (pb } come again)

[Her mouth opens, pauses for a moment, before closing again.

There are... Many things that she could say to that answer, but no, she's not going to say any of it. She just adds it to the list of items about this place that she's not entirely certain she wants to delve too closely in to at the moment.

Like, their magic only makes ice? Or why ice? Why not something else...]


So wizards and witches?
counterblows: (} and i said i'm wishing i said)

[personal profile] counterblows 2018-09-15 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
I guess.

[He doesn't WANT to go there, but...you know, that's just where they're at!!! This is how things are now!!]

We got pulled out of different points of time and now live on an island with a talking rabbit who calls themself a god. I think we're beyond drawing arbitrary lines at this point.
uptightness: (pb } talked)

[personal profile] uptightness 2018-09-16 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Those green eyes flicker over to him, narrowing for a moment in thought as she regards him, before giving a softer tip of her head.]

I'm just trying to understand things.

[Not exactly the easiest thing to do. Sure, her world got flipped after Freelancer, but it's not like suddenly there were magicians and talking animals, and who the heck knew what else. Arguably her time with the sim troopers has prepared her better... After all, if you're able to convince someone else that Game of Thrones actually happened...]

You do have to admit this is probably a bit like being inside of Caboose's head though.
counterblows: (} before they get it right)

[personal profile] counterblows 2018-09-16 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh god.

[He kneads at his temples with one hand, knuckling at the side of his skull, as if the pressure might alleviate the spike of protest that swarms up at that little observation.]

Don't...don't say that.
uptightness: (pb } soft)

[personal profile] uptightness 2018-09-17 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[A moment, stillness, that alertness shifting across her features before Carolina bends, moving the topic away from that murky territory that it's heading.]

It is strange though. Not having them around. I mean, if anyone would have told me I would have 'retired' with a bunch of sim troopers...

[She would have wondered what drug they were on.

Bending down, she pries free a pair of black pants, which do seem to have juicy stitched across the ass, but... Hmm. She can likely get that off.]
counterblows: (} have you ever wanted to disappear)

[personal profile] counterblows 2018-09-17 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
Agent Carolina, retiring. Never thought I'd see the day.

[He techncially hasn't, yet. The "retirement" in question has been...put on hold, because this might have taken her one island to the next, but Ensō is not what he would call personal reflection material. Or vacation material.]

[Maybe that appeals to her more.]
uptightness: (pb } converse)

[personal profile] uptightness 2018-09-17 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey. Sarge had a hard time adjusting to inaction as well.

[It... might have taken a little bit of work, which is a bit of an oxymoron, she knows. At least Carolina didn't go stir crazy and take on gravity.... Right?]
counterblows: (} and the kids are snoring)

[personal profile] counterblows 2018-09-17 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Sarge has always dealt with inaction. He just does a really good job pretending that it isn't.

[In the history of any war, no group of soldiers have been more efficient at doing nothing for entire vast stretches of time.]
uptightness: (pb } back shoulder)

[personal profile] uptightness 2018-09-18 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
He's pretty gung ho about fighting some enemy.

[If not Blues... Well, he finds others. Robots and Dinosaurs. Gravity. Even Carolina hadn't gone to those measures.]

Not that he got far with any of his pursuits. All he did was lose a vehicle.
counterblows: (} when i wake up next to a stranger)

[personal profile] counterblows 2018-09-18 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[A groan; uttery unsurprised.]

If it was another warthog, then my sympathy goes out to Lopez.
uptightness: (face } going back)

[personal profile] uptightness 2018-09-18 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Ya... The warthog went over the cliff, and, well, you can guess the rest.

[Should she point out that Wash had stopped her from stopping it because he wanted to see where it went?]
counterblows: (} have you ever wanted to disappear)

[personal profile] counterblows 2018-09-18 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Jesus christ.

[It's not even shocking anymore. It just sounds like the same...dumb, pointless shit they always did.]

I guess they really earned themselves a break, huh?
uptightness: (pb } depends)

[personal profile] uptightness 2018-09-18 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Destroying your own property? That would have gotten a dressing down back in the day, especially if it had been for some stupid reason like taking on gravity. It's shit like that why she had first written them off as nothing more than another group of sim troopers.

Also shit like that which has grown on Carolina.]


They have.
counterblows: (} follow the disorganized religion)

[personal profile] counterblows 2018-09-18 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
I guess it makes sense that we'd end up here anyway. Too busy for that.

[That was the original plan, back on Chorus. Let the sim troopers go home, and keep fighting for the people who deserved to live life outside of a war. Just took them a little while to follow through.]
uptightness: (pb } talked)

[personal profile] uptightness 2018-09-18 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
That maybe, just maybe, we can do some good here.

[Recalling his earlier words about who ends up here. Anyone and everyone. No clear lines or definitions about who is and isn't taken.]
counterblows: (} and it's kinda funny)

[personal profile] counterblows 2018-09-18 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"Some good." I think I'd like that.

[Wistful. Feels like the way it always does, with them: one step in the right direction, and three steps back.]

Hold me to that.
uptightness: (face } bangs)

[personal profile] uptightness 2018-09-19 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
We'll hold each other to that, Wash.

[It's all they can do at the end of the day. Right some wrongs, although she doubts that her scale will ever break even.]
counterblows: (} twice for the son)

[personal profile] counterblows 2018-09-19 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
[His smile is uneven, tilting the side of his mouth. Hooding his eyes.]

Sure thing, boss.
