[So, it's still early enough to get a full day's work done, and there's much to do around the HQ.

As people know by now, Level 4 has mostly been cleared of active nature, though farther from the apartments near the stairs there are still the remains of vines and moss and dirt on the buildings and floors. Fallen trees and tangled roots still clog up the area around the buildings which must have once been shops.

Aside from the library claimed by Henrietta and perhaps few other establishments, they are doorless, and inside those abandoned buildings there is still evidence of old equipment and rotted furniture waiting to be re-purposed, broken down for offerings, or thrown out if it's beyond use.

There's not much fresh plantlife left here to collect for offerings, but plenty of cleaning to be done, perhaps in Eizon's name, in exchange for the electricity flowing through whatever fixtures people have acquired by now, or as an offering of kindness in exchange for water...

Up on the fifth level, nature stubbornly continues to prowl.]

It looks good. You might as well wear it so that people can see it.

[hyanaimne]

. . . why would I want people to see it?

[overclocking]

That's the point of decorative clothing, isn't it?

[hyanaimne]

. . .

I do not know, I have never worn anything "decorative".

[overclocking]

I think you might just have to take my word for it, then.

[hyanaimne]

[ugh, ducks her head and nods]

[overclocking]

[y-you're cute gosh]

Somehow I suspect you've never worn something like a dress before, either.

[hyanaimne]

. . . not in a long time, no. And even then, it was rare.

[overclocking]

[8|a Trying to picture you in a dress.... IT'S HARD...]

[hyanaimne]

. . . dresses are uncomfortable . . .

[overclocking]

... Are they? I always assumed it would be the opposite...

[hyanaimne]

The ones I was forced to wear were tight around the waist and made to . . . accentuate a woman's assets? Corsets and such.

I was forced into one or two when I was a bit older. Though I would hide a pair of pants underneath.

[overclocking]

Ah... the old style of dresses was more restrictive, I think. Modern dresses weren't quite like that. Rosette used to fight in hers without trouble.

[hyanaimne]

Without trouble? Really?

[overclocking]

[Nods]

More than that, I think she was partial to them. She wore them even when she didn't have to be in uniform anymore.

[hyanaimne]

I see . . .

[overclocking]

[Shrugs]

In any case, style of clothes aside, you should just wear whatever's comfortable for you.

[hyanaimne]

. . . this isn't so bad.

[overclocking]

It's not too different from your usual... she seems to have an eye for these things.

[hyanaimne]

I suppose.

[overclocking]

I've been meaning to get some clothes, myself, but... [sigh gods 8|;] I should probably at least look at who offers things...

[hyanaimne]

. . . [gives you a look]

Why do you need clothes when you do that - thing you can do? [gesture]

[overclocking]

[why are you giving me a look!!]

I can't invent clothing. Or at least, not traditional clothing.

[hyanaimne]

[remember how I found out you could do that!!]

Oh, is that it.

[overclocking]

...

You sound very put out over it.
