Anyone on this thing know of an acceptable place to get a change of clothes? And before you offer up sub-par recommendations, I mean, quality clothes. Nothing off brand. And nothing that screams small town American Wal-Mart if you even understand what that means.

( Outlets... he won't be a chooser, as he is a beggar. And outlets at least have brands. Months after a line comes out. But, again. Beggars.

This place has the buildings going for it, why not actual style that matches. A nice suit. Silk shirt. Something? )

Extra points to anyone who can pronounce or spell any of these bargain basement Game of Thrones knockoff names. Aaeven-whatever.

Oh. And, witches. What do you like about being a witch? Any tips you want to give? Tips I should ignore. What's a do and what's a don't? How regulated are they?

Monsters. Let's talk bonds.

what's american wal-mart?

[Focusing on the important things here.]

[illtempered]

( right, he's dealing with fantasy rejects and places he's never heard of. it goes both ways. )

It's the lowest common denominator in comfortable, low-quality trash disguising itself as clothing. Bargain basement.

[sylphid]

[Wow. This guy sounds like Patrick before he... grew up.]

so you're looking for higher quality. got it. do you have money to spend on it right now? there are always some part time jobs open if you need a way to get the cash.

[illtempered]

Not money they'd take. You make a good point.

That's certainly a direct approach to bonding.

[Amused tone doesn't really come across in text, does it?]

[illtempered]

( what the fuck is this name, and the late 90's underscore being used. )

It's a direct invitation to talk about it.

[turmoiling]

[listen it's not a great name but he worked hard for it, it's a long story]

What aspect, exactly?

[illtempered]

What it takes. Everyone's level of trust. Why it's necessary. How much I don't want someone in my head.

[weiward]

sooo....clothes are more important to you than bonds.

[illtempered]

I have one suit. I need more than a suit. Bonds are important and not to be taken lightly. Why is it people don't want to talk about bonds?

[weiward]

how many suits can you wear at one time?

and don't ask me, i don't understand it either. it's something we all need to do.

Tip: give more of a shit about letting someone into your head.

[illtempered]

I'm not offering or begging. There's no harm in talk.

[scyldig]

There's talk and then there's sounding completely blase.

Not sure what you mean by 'off brand', but the only clothes you're going to find is what's sold in the stores around here. You might want to try Precogstitchin if you want something fancy.

[This comes from someone who isn't aware clothes have a brand and whose concept of fancy clothing is probably a little lacking.]

As for being a witch, the best advice I can give is that you take some of the basic introduction courses at the Coven. It'll help you get the hang of using your magic before you attempt to learn spells from any of the different classes of magic.

The courses will also help you find out how to channel your spells. It's different so everyone. Some use vocal spells, other hand gestures, and so on.

[illtempered]

( THIS. All of this is actually helpful. )

Will they hold it against me if I an't pronounce Precogstitchin?

Is it different because people use different technique or do some take to it differently?

Thank you for actual answers.

[shadowsthedawn]

You could probably get away without making an attempt at all. They should know what their shop is called.

A bit of both. As far as I know there aren't any limits on how you choose to channel your magic. There just tends to be a way that feels more natural when you try it.

No problem.

If you go to Thread Up and ask for Caren, she's very helpful.

[If she could dress L, she could dress anyone.]

[illtempered]

I will.

( Politeness, Jackson. )

Thanks.

What about bonds do you want to talk?

I'd recommend getting familiar with the kind of fabrics you want and how much they cost per length because the best quality is tailored and if you know your ball-park figures then you can plan your work life accordingly.

[illtempered]

It's necessary not to explode from magic. For monsters and witches?

Any chance the stories with the fabrics I like will hire me and trade.

[trouvaille]

For witches. For monsters, it's different and this persistent fucking irritability would probably be better if I had a bond but I haven't exploded and it's been months. I don't like not having a bond but I don't think I'm a walking hand grenade.

Probably, but I'd figure out which cost is higher before you commit. If you want clothes cut the way you like, the labor costs might actually be more than the fabric. I would look into it and figure out the most cost effective division.

[She's from somewhere along the lines of the 800s or the 1920s what is this?]

Just look around the shopping district. Half the places enchant the clothes anyway.

[illtempered]

Enchant how?

[stopfen]

Things that prevent the fabric from fraying or colours from washing out. But I've seen things that are resistant to fire as well. Those are more expensive.

Though most clothes have to be adjusted.
