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.
tuskenlancer: (smiling)

That's true. Good thing I have this sweater, then.

[ A beat, and then she glances sidelong at Wash, an alarmingly mischievous look in her eye. ]

We better find one for you, too.
counterblows: (} to you)

[personal profile] counterblows 2018-09-22 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, so we can match? What'd you have in mind?

[He is dubious, to say in the least, that there's anything with an appropriately thematic patterning slapped on it, but who knows? Maybe he can be surprised.]
tuskenlancer: (figure out what side you're on)

[personal profile] tuskenlancer 2018-09-22 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh ye of little faith.

CT raises an eyebrow at him, and then turns away without a word, starting to dig through the piles of clothing. It takes her a while, but she's not about to let herself get discouraged here.

Eventually, she turns back to Wash, a look of wicked glee on her face as she holds out sweatshirt. ]


What about this one?
counterblows: (} if home is where the heart is)

[personal profile] counterblows 2018-09-22 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
That's hideous.

[THANKS, HE HATES IT. He's actually kind of impressed with how Much one shirt can have all over it. The knife patterning was at least semi-tasteful. But this is just...]

[Does "visual diarrhea" accurately cover it?]


And not very tactical and we're trained space marines.
tuskenlancer: (pointing)

[personal profile] tuskenlancer 2018-09-23 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ 'Semi-tasteful' might be pushing it when it comes to her knife sweater, but he's not wrong about this one. CT just shakes her head, rolling her eyes as she turns back to the clothes. ]

Fine, fine. Give me a minute.

[ And sure enough, a minute or two later, she turns to Wash in triumph once more, proudly holding up another sweatshirt. ]

This one!
counterblows: (} we've broken down on memory lane)

[personal profile] counterblows 2018-09-23 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Does the Storyteller really like cats? I feel like they must really like cats - oh my god, it's camo.

[His vein of thought is immediately diverted when he lays eyes on this...this...divine fucking monstrosity. But, contrary to his reaction earlier, Wash seems bizarrely, shockingly delighted.]

I can't believe this exists.
tuskenlancer: (smiling)

[personal profile] tuskenlancer 2018-09-23 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ Jackpot. She shoves it into his hands, as proud as she's been in...well, a while. ]

I think it must've been made especially for you.

[ It's even his color. She's practically bouncing up and down with glee. ]

Try it on!
counterblows: (} have you ever wanted to disappear)

[personal profile] counterblows 2018-09-23 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
[You know, he's already wearing this ridiculous shit. He might as well go the whole hog here.]

You're lucky that everything else I could find looks just as stupid.

[But, fine. He shucks off his new jacket, yanks the dumb sweater over his head, and...god, it looks even worse when he's wearing it.]

It definitely, uh, makes a statement.
tuskenlancer: (figure out what side you're on)

[personal profile] tuskenlancer 2018-09-23 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
It looks fantastic.

[ It doesn't. But...it fits? And, honestly, it could be worse. ]

You have to keep it.
counterblows: (} and that's all that should matter)

[personal profile] counterblows 2018-09-23 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
With threads like these, how can I refuse?

[Good for cold weather, ostensibly, though he can't imagine why he'd be wearing anything other than his armor, because Wash is a killjoy who doesn't enjoy nice and normal things, like walking around in anything other than full armor.]

I did ask for clothes for all of us. I guess I earned this.
tuskenlancer: (pointing)

[personal profile] tuskenlancer 2018-09-24 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
You can't.

[ It's a simple statement of fact. She won't let him. Protest as he might, she's not going to forget the look of delight on his face when he'd first set eyes on that stupid shirt.

She raises her eyebrows, though, just looking at him. ]


You asked for all this?
counterblows: (} twice for the son)

[personal profile] counterblows 2018-09-24 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
I chipped in. I think it totaled to about forty, uh...stories when everyone was done.

[He contributed four, and asked for something solid and sensible. These patterns are neither solid nor sensible, but the clothes are reasonably sturdy and will probably last a while, which is the important thing. Regardless of the dubious "style" involved.]
tuskenlancer: (figure out what side you're on)

[personal profile] tuskenlancer 2018-09-26 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Wow.

[ She looks over the clothes again. Nothing exactly screams Wash, except for the perfect, amazing shirt she'd found for him, of course. ]

What'd you ask for?
counterblows: (} when i wake up next to a stranger)

[personal profile] counterblows 2018-09-26 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Stuff that was sensible.

[He glances down at his new apparel, his mouth twisting wryly at one corner.]

Maybe I should ask for my money back.
tuskenlancer: (smiling)

[personal profile] tuskenlancer 2018-09-29 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ She giggles, quietly thrilled, and shakes her head, starting to fold up the few things she'd deemed acceptable. ]

I don't think that's how it works.
counterblows: (} if home is where the heart is)

[personal profile] counterblows 2018-09-29 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
I don't either, but at least we know the rate of exchange now.

[Forty stories in exchange for...a mess of a shopping mall. Well, at least he's got something to wear besides his armor. He starts following suit, folding what clothes he's decided he's not morally opposed to down into neat squares.]
tuskenlancer: (Who do you think gave them the ammo?)

[personal profile] tuskenlancer 2018-10-01 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
And we know how effective asking for specifics is too.

[ Still. Forty stories for...well, this looks like more than enough clothes for everyone on the island, even taking into account those that are so hideous they're pretty much unwearable. She stacks up her own findings into a neat pile, starts to turn, then stops and catches her breath as she spots a hat tossed carelessly aside on a pile of tank tops behind Wash. ]

Oh my god, Wash.
counterblows: (} have you ever wanted to disappear)

[personal profile] counterblows 2018-10-01 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
You're just finding all the best stuff today.

[It's even camo. Good god.]

Wear that, and no one will be able to figure out where you are. [Max out that stealth stat.]
tuskenlancer: (smiling)

[personal profile] tuskenlancer 2018-10-07 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no, Wash.

[ Nice try. She reaches past him to snag the hat, holding it out to him confidently. ]

This one's for you.
counterblows: (} and the kids are snoring)

[personal profile] counterblows 2018-10-07 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
Do I look like a hat person to you?

[You pretty much wears a helmet 24/7, Wash, but okay. Weird distinction to make.]

Why camo?
tuskenlancer: (figure out what side you're on)

wrap it up here?

[personal profile] tuskenlancer 2018-10-16 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
It matches your shirt.

[ Get with the program, Wash.

If he's not going to reach out to take the hat, she's going to just reach up and put it on his head. ]


It looks great.
counterblows: (} when i wake up next to a stranger)

sure!

[personal profile] counterblows 2018-10-16 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
[She sticks it on his head. He lets her. He adjusts it only slightly, pulling it down a little more snugly over what remains of his godawful helmet hair. He probably looks like an absolute tool.]

Well, when you put it like that...

[But when she's loving it this much, how can he say no?]
