DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET CLOTHES FOR CHEAP?

OR BETTER YET, FREE?


[After sending this, Darius decides he may as well go and look for something on his own, just in case no one offers their help. He's getting a little tired of only having (what look to him like) dresses to wear. He really just wants some pants.

He does take a cloak, though, since it's raining, and straps some sandals to his feet before heading out in search of...well, anything that looks familiar, really.]

Comments

[rabbitworthy]

[Darius accepts the sugar with a smile, adding some to his tea and taking a sip. He isn't really sure what he wants. Just something...normal. He takes the pad and pen and thinks a moment before writing]

SHIRT & TROUSERS

COTTON

MAYBE WOOL?

[fools_journey]

[ Minato peers over at the list and nods, pondering. ]

It's getting colder steadily, so do you want a sweater or coat or anything like that? And... any color preferences?

[rabbitworthy]

[He nods at that, thinking for a moment about color. He doesn't care too much, but after a moment, he scribbles]

NOT WHITE.

askld;fjas I will try very hard to be less slow about tagging.

[fools_journey]

So hot pink, then.

[ He says this completely deadpan and without a change in expression, as he watches Darius for a reaction. ]

:)

[rabbitworthy]

[Darius arches an eyebrow. It's not that he'd mind hot pink particularly, but...

He takes hold of one very red curl and gives a questioning look along the lines of, 'Wouldn't that clash with my hair?']

[fools_journey]

Hm, you're right. [ Luckily the look makes it pretty apparent what Darius means. Which is why Minato makes and even more hideous suggestion. ] Neon green, then.

[rabbitworthy]

[Darius grins, shrugging.

It isn't white, and that's the most important thing. If this guy really wants to make him something in neon green, that's his choice.]

[fools_journey]

[ Minato wants to dress him like Christmas! ... okay not really. ]

I'll do my best to make them acceptable.

[ He pauses to take a sip or two of his tea. ]

Just let me know when you're done with your tea, and I'll do the measurements. Also - if you are hungry or anything, again please let me know.

[ He leaves the notebook within Darius' reach. ]

[rabbitworthy]

[He shakes his head in response to the offer. He ate at home.

But after another sip of tea, he holds up his empty cup with a smile.]

[fools_journey]

[ Nodding, Minato smiles a little back and rises, picking up his measuring tape in preparation.]

I'll try to make it quick.

[ Not too many seem to enjoy the tedious process of getting measured after all. ]

[rabbitworthy]

[He shrugs, smiling, as he gets up. He's very used to standing still for long periods of time.]

[fools_journey]

[ Used to or not, Minato doesn't want to be impolite by making it take longer than it needs to. When he's done, he looks over his measurements to make sure he didn't forget anything before looking up and nodding. ]

Thank you.

... what name should I keep track of these things under?

[ and he holds out the paper for Darius to write on, if he chooses. ]

[rabbitworthy]

[Darius takes it and scribbles out his name with a grin.

Underneath it he writes: HOW LONG?]

[fools_journey]

[ Minato think for a few moments, doing mental calculations. ]

No more than a week. ... if you write down the house you're living in, I or one of my associates can even deliver them to you, if they're done sooner.

[rabbitworthy]

[He nods, smiling again in thanks, and writes down where he's living.]

[fools_journey]

Thank you, Darius. [ Minato smiles back a little and nods. ] I will do my best to make sure these are done as soon as possible.

[rabbitworthy]

[He nods again and scribbles out: IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO IN RETURN?]

[fools_journey]

What sort of skills do you have? Maybe we can work out a trade.

[rabbitworthy]

[He frowns in thought a moment. All he's ever done is work in the military and as an Avox. Eventually, he writes: PHYSICAL LABOR? SERVICE?]

[fools_journey]

{ Minato nods after reading that. ]

Well, if I ever need help with something, I'll contact you to help for a few hours, if you want. But -- otherwise, don't worry about it, especially not for the first few outfits.

[ It's not like there's a lot else to occupy himself with on this island, anyway... ]
