[ Kitty's voice is a touch hesitant as she puts out this request: ]
Hullo. I need some clothes. [ And then, a bit more fiercely: ] Clothes that aren't stupid. [ A huff, and then with the strength borne of anger over having to wear clothes made for an office professional: ] I haven't got money to pay now, but I will in the future. Or I've got a bunch of office supplies, and I guess they belong to me or whatever, so I've got the right to barter with 'em.
Anyway, so, I'm a bit tall, and sort of a bit thin, and I'm a girl, thanks, so I don't want anything frumpy or frilly or awful, and I don't want anything weird. Just normal clothes, clothes that'll make me look normal.
[ A beat. ] And a knife, too, I guess. For, erm, eating with. [ She will be using it for stabbing with. Finally: ] Eurgh. This is weird. [ ANYway. A sigh, and with that awkward sign-off, she stops the transmission. ]

The best thing to do is go to someone who'll make you something, in the town. Are, ah, you new, and in need of local coin?
[ aka are you one of the new rifters in need of help? He can't help noting she hasn't spelled that out, but most local people who show up with Inquisition crystals aren't quite this much in need. ]
no subject
Yeah. I am. [ Then, clarifying: ] Yes to both. Human, and - you know. Broke.
no subject
[ Like for example, if you've shown up from a different world and you're looking like it. Plenty of rifters do; Aro himself had been lucky. ]
no subject
I mean - I'm not naked, if that's what you're asking.
no subject
Well, I mean! [ Flustered: ] You might've been! But no I just mean I thought you might...
Well - [ How many times will he say well in this conversation... ] - I thought you might not have any local dress, is all.
no subject
[ His shyness makes her feel a little more confident; her voice grows firmer. ]
And it got burned a bit, too. From magic. So I do need something new.
no subject
[ He clears his throat. ]
So, tall for a human woman. Thin, or...or broad? [ Why is this his life right now. ] And do you think a dress would be all right? Because it might be hard to get the fit right, otherwise.

Insert nervous laughter. ]
Well then, how am I to know what length the trousers should be?
no subject
[ Erm. ]
If they're too long, I can just hem them.
no subject
Right. Of course you can.
So you'll be wanting a needle and thread along with the ill-fitting clothes that won't be a dress, then?
no subject
[ Um. ]
Yes. But that's got to be everywhere, hasn't it. All these people getting stabbed and axed and burned with magic, people must be repairing their clothes all the time.
no subject
Well, usually they wear clothes made for battle. Still, you could probably find a repair kit somewhere around the Gallows.
Speaking of that, are you injured personally, or did only your clothes get damaged?

no subject
Because I would've found you a healer, had you the need of one. All right. I'll do my best for you. No promises about the quality of what I find, though. It should be enough to see you through.
no subject
Well - cheers, then. I appreciate it.
