Not to interrupt any serious conversations anyone is having about dim hallways and new captains and stumbling into another dimension but-

Does anyone have an extra set of clothes for sale for a tall.... tall-ish person? My only pair were taken by slavers and I don't have enough sense of duty and authority to wear the uniform they gave to me. [Read: SHE THINKS IT LOOKS AWFUL.] And I have been told in the past by certain people that it's not "appropriate for the city's champion" to refuse to wear proper clothes. So basically, looking for something non pretentious and and that properly marks me as the dashing rogue that I am.

In exchange, I can give you 5 gold coins, a deck of glass playing cards, 2 magic tricks, and a beautiful piece of artwork to hang in your room by our favorite local artist Nathan Drake.

Please send all inquiries to Hawke at the talkie thing on your wrist.

Riiiiight. So, when were you going to mention this to the favorite local artist?

[otiosity]

Riiiiiight now.

I signed you up to do art in order to get me pants. Sounds like a fair deal for a friend, right?

[sketchycharacter]

Well. Yeah, I suppose. But I'm not using my really good pencils.

[otiosity]

Oh?

What did the bad pencils do? Murder? Theft? Magic in the public square?

[sketchycharacter]

I mean the expensive ones. They're in limited supply and I'm not using them to get you pants. Maybe for a full outfit.

[otiosity]

I'm not opposed to a full outfit!

[sketchycharacter]

Well, let me know what you end up with and we'll talk. I'm willing to consider a sliding scale.

[otiosity]

I've been offered leggings and a hoodie. And Clara's dresses but I'm pretty sure that's mostly for the comedy after being enslaved and not actually because I'm going to wear them.

[sketchycharacter]

Somehow, I can't picture you in a dress.

[otiosity]

It's happened. Once or twice. Mostly to appease my mother at some fancy party.

I look ridiculous and the bodice never stays up and they're heavy and itchy. But the things we do for mothers.

[sketchycharacter]

Yeah, so I've heard. [Since some of them lack mothers.] Too bad you didn't take a picture. Or...have cameras, I guess.

[otiosity]

And here I was sitting around thinking I was the only one who thought that me wearing a dress was hilarious. It's so wonderful to know I'm not alone.

[sketchycharacter]

Honestly, I think I'd be more comfortable in a dress than you.

[Okay maybe he's exaggerating a little but. Not much.]

[otiosity]

You'd have more hips to fill it out.

[NOW SHE WANTS TO SEE THIS.]

[sketchycharacter]

In your dreams. And you'll have to dream about it, because it's not happening in real life.

[otiosity]

Not even for a bet? An incredible, amazing, irresistible bet?

[sketchycharacter]

No and hell no.

[otiosity]

Is someone chicken? Scared of piece of cloth?

[sketchycharacter]

Yeah so you're not the first person who's tried to get me to do something stupid by calling me chicken.

[otiosity]

I was under the impression that you do stupid things without anyone calling you chicken at all. Did I underestimate you?

[OKAY but she means it in the most affectionate way possible.]

[sketchycharacter]

Sure, but they're my own stupid things. I'm an independent guy, I don't need your help making an ass of myself.

[otiosity]

No, but I could help you make an arse of yourself in more creative and spectacular ways.

[sketchycharacter]

After I drunk posted my angst everywhere last month? I'm not sure that's something I should aim for.

[otiosity]

It was kind of endearing at least.

[sketchycharacter]

That's one word for it. Not an accurate one, but it is a word.
