[ 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.

[parodeity]

[ he will never know ]

Mm...I could use like. Better...needles for it, but again: I feel bad askin' Momo. Though I do want to ask her about medical shit at some point. We'd also need...thread? Scissors. Lord. Why is stuff so much work?

[windeity]

Medical shit is still shit that we could definitely use so I doubt she'd mind. We could probably look and see if there are basic sewing kits around? There seems to be normal tools so you would think they'd have repair kits for everything.. We don't really need scissors if we have knives though do we?

[parodeity]

I mean...scissors have a cleaner cut, kinda, for fabric?
