Yeah, the stuff Minato and I found were kind of lame, too. I like the whole self-cleaning part of the pajamas. [Pullling! And the cabinet pops open!] Dude, I got it!

[parodeity]

I loosened it for you. [ he definitely did not. ]

[windeity]

Yeah, I know. Thanks for that! [He definitely knows Dave did not, but whatever. He'll pry open the cabinet and out falls...

...a bunch of clothes. But at least they aren't moldy? There's also a small tool kit.]

This is definitely not that exciting.

[parodeity]

[ thanks for humoring him, john. ]

What's in the kit? [ he knows fuck all about most tools but ] I feel like the clothes are useless when we're not gonna do a fashion show.

[windeity]

Uh...[Give him a second to pry it open.] It looks like a hammer, a screwdriver, and some rusty pliers. Not bad I guess. [Not that he knows how to use some of these entirely but whatever.] Did you want to do a fashion show?

[parodeity]

I think it would be funny to make you do one? [ john in period clothes sounds somehow hilarious. ]

[windeity]

Somehow this doesn't surprise me. [He grins though.] Doesn't a fashion show require more than one person?

[No promises, but just saying.]

[parodeity]

I give you permission to make up alternate personalities to assist you in the fashion show.

[windeity]

I don't know how to make up alternate personalities though? I'm not good at LARPing.

[parodeity]

I am 80% sure you LARP'd us into existence.

[windeity]

That is totally different. [It's really not, given how he looks a little embarrassed.] That could have been anybody.

[parodeity]

[ dave's eyebrows lift in silent disbelief. ]

[windeity]

[He folds his arms over his chest in a challenge-stance.] You're telling me that if you saw a biologist suit in your size you wouldn't but it on? Even just out of curiosity?

[parodeity]

Dude, what if it had been somewhere nasty?? [ like. he's a cat. so. he probably would have at least investigated... ]

[windeity]

When has that stopped either of us? You're the one who's talking about putting on clothes that were stored in a stuck cabinet for probably way too long.

[parodeity]

Yeah but on you, not on me???

[windeity]

Okay, well, I'm not doing it unless you're doing it, too. So there.

[parodeity]

Oh, come on. That's cruel and unusual punishment and you definitely owe me??

[windeity]

So my punishment for owing you is to dress up in peasant clothing? [Sounds fake but okay, Dave. On the other hand he's giving the clothes a second look anyway.]

[parodeity]

Yes??? I think it's an even trade.

[ why didn't john even bother to ask what he owes dave for. john you moron. ]

[windeity]

Do I have to wear them in public...? [Why would John do something smart like that?]

[parodeity]

Nope. Just here.

[ FASHION SHOW!!!!!!! ]

[windeity]

[...SIGH.]

What do I get out of it then? [He's mostly in agreement but. Dave...]

[parodeity]

Not owing me anymore?

[ but okay, something actual... ]

Uh...I'm not sure how great I'd be at it, since I only did patchwork fixes for my own shit back in the day, but I could...attempt. To make the clothes less tragic. Kinda doubt that's worth it, though...

[windeity]

[A second time he could ask what he owes Dave for...and yet...nothing.]

It might not be a bad idea. If we know what kind of shape the clothes are in we can also work on patching up anything else we find around town.
