[ It took Harry some time to decide what sort of first impression to make upon the community of the Moira, weighing the options of being well open about things or to put up a smokescreen. He chooses the latter because it's easier to learn things this way. Text also obscures tone, something he prefers. ]

I find myself rather out of my depth in this situation. Space is certainly not my forte in the slightest, unless there are aliens in need of a well tailored suit. Most of my experience with space ships has been through peripheral experience with science fiction.

My name is Harry Hart, I work as a tailor in London. Or I did previous to making my unexpected trip through the Ingress.

It seems that my lot aboard ship is to continue this work. I've been given equipment and fabric in order to better upkeep the uniforms we have all been given. If you arrange an appointment I would be glad to assist in making sure that, should your uniform be ill fit, your issue is corrected to the best of my ability.

I would like to note that my experience has thus far been exclusively with humans. If there are people of... different species aboard I would be glad to work with you to ensure the best possible outcome.

How do other species survive having to drape themselves in cruddy layers of fibers all of the time? I think I'd rather just die than deal with that.

[ Thank god her sneering doesn't really convey at 100% over text. ]

[ oh. oh thank god. ]

If you're looking for something to do, I'd be happy to be your first customer. I'm, er, a little small for standard sizing. My clothes back home are usually tailored to fit. I'm sure we could arrange some sort of trade, if you like.

Well from what I've learned it's because we learned to drape ourselves in fibers that we survived. Protection from the elements does tend to be a priority for human beings.

can you make me some shoes?

specifically, some nice trainers. preferably white. little wings on the back. thanks, bruv.

[Well, it's worth asking. Especially since it is hot in the hold.]

Would a skirt be possible?

I did notice that the array of sizes from off the rack does tend to be rather limited in both their upper and lower limits. I'd be happy to assist you in getting some properly fitting uniforms.

[ Clothes, much like manners, do tend to make the man. He can't imagine it feels very dignified to walk about in too large clothes. ]

Trade is unnecessary at this point since it seems to be so essential to quality of life.

If you don't yet know the difference between a tailor and a cobbler then there is no hope for you.

harry. please. i know the difference, yeah? i just really need some trainers for my sore feet. gotta help me out.

I'm unsure if there is a defined dress code aboard but I believe a skirt is within my abilities. Did you have a particular style in mind, Miss?

I'm not in the business of making trainers, Eggsy. You would have more luck making a request of the captains in this particular scenario.

Whatever. I'm just saying, it seems like a pain to have to make and repair new ones all the time. I almost feel sorry for you.

Provided they are produced with care, an article of clothing can last quite a long time. As such I don't believe your pity is required.

Thank you. It will be easier to do my job if I am not overheating.

Knee length and not tight would be best. Just in case.

[And for the sake of not being rude, since he gave his name earlier:]

I'm Wanda Maximoff.

[ Looks like fresh meat. Well, sounds like it anyway. ]

No one with that skillset's going to last long out here.

Understood, Ms. Maximoff. Whenever you have time in the coming week for a fitting please let me know. I will need your measurements so I can provide a proper fit for your apparel.

I'll have to hope that isn't the case since it seems I am here and have a job to do.

[ His expression is mild at the insults, he knows the truth of things even if Cain doesn't. ]

Now, do you require a better fit to your uniform or did you come to simply make conversation?

Gotta say I'm impressed with your, ah...adaptability?

[Anyone whose first encounter with a ship full of alien species is to offer to make them clothes...well, it's not exactly the way Ratchet was used to humans reacting. It was almost suspect.]

Especially for a tailor.

Does your job description include making uniforms from scratch, or just altering them? Because the uniform I was given is not only significantly too small but also the complete wrong shape. It seems like they weren't expecting any dragons on the crew. Even on Pyrrhia, we don't really wear clothing other than jewellery or sometimes armor, but I don't know if I should mention anything to the captains. I don't know what they would say, and I don't want to try and sound like I'm trying to get out of something that's mandatory.

But perhaps we could figure out a time to meet in person?

[Done.]

I could use some help with mine. The trousers aren't made for digitigrade legs. I don't know what you could do with them, but they're pretty uncomfortable right now...

....harry.

i know. without a doubt. that someone of your immense skill could make 'em for me.

Yeah? You're getting it whether you want it or not! So HAH!

That seems like a waste of mental resources on your part, especially since I don't particularly care. Though if you need your uniform altered I would be glad to assist you.

Well, seeing as I'm in space on a bloody spaceship of all things I have a choice before me. I have the option of acting like a professional or a having a mental breakdown trying to convince myself this is all an elaborate hallucination. I've chosen the former because the latter does no one any good.
