[It's maybe half an hour after Cordis' first moonrise of the month when Akechi comes onto the network, sounding...mildly distressed.]

Does anyone know where I could find pants that would fit over a tail? Specifically one that I can't just slide through a hole.

[He pauses, and there's the sound of feathers rustling.]

Some advice on modifying existing clothing to fit would be nice too. And, as a lower priority...shirts I can wear with wings.



(OOC: Ren Amamiya is going to be bringing him something he can wear, but general advice is still welcome. He'll turn down offers to bring him clothing directly from anyone he doesn't know and who isn't about the same size as him.)

... Maybe something backless for the wings?

[Just a thought.]

I think Chromawear could conform to what you need? Maybe? I don't totally get how it works but it seems to be advertised as transforming regular clothing.

[foolishjustice]

My Chroma supply hasn't been particularly steady, so I've been avoiding anything that actively consumes it.

[notimefordreams]

I understand. I guess if you can endure the backless idea then until you can have some clothes altered that might be the best solution for the moment. I haven't had to deal with this myself just yet though.

[Yet. She's not under the delusion that she's escaping this but there's always hope.]

[spah]

[Here comes a Texan drawl:]

They got clothing 'round here fitted for that sorta thing. Wings, tails, all that. I ain't dealt with either, but I reckon it's handy when you don't wanna tear up your old clothes.

[foolishjustice]

I don't think I could easily modify my old clothes for these, anyway. My tail is like some sort of cross between a cat's and a bird's, so I'd need something with some sort of closure over the tail.

I don't suppose you know where I'd be able to find a store with a decent selection of clothes designed around extra limbs?

[spah]

Sure, lotsa places. They're used to folks with extra parts 'round here. Even... cat-bird tails, though I'm havin' trouble imaginin' that.

Guess for starters... you been to that little diner on Level 2, near the Prismanodes? 'Bout two stores down from there's a little thrift stores. They usually got all kinds.

Like I said, though. If you don't find anything that suits your fancy there, there's a lot of shops.

[ oh look it's Pidge's foxy boyfriend. this is his speciality. ]

So, you're going to want to cut a slit at the back of the pants, in the middle where your tail is. Then sew a button and a hook.

Kind of like this. This will let you adjust for the room that you need, if you can't just slide the tail through.

[ And he sends along a picture. ]

[Sorry, he's not turning the webcam on right now.]

That should work, thanks. I'll need to get the materials first, but this sounds better than hoping I can find pants already tailored for such an unusual type of tail.

Voice

[givenofox]

The good thing is that if something happens like your tail gets bigger, you can just resew it instead of getting new clothes.

[finethanks]

As odd as it might seem to us, there are a large number of unique citizens to this place, so it's not so strange to find that clothing stores offer tailoring services frequently. I believe some stores offer a service where you're sized for your specific needs and given a quote, though they may not be as budget-friendly.

[His voice is soft and too-polite, formal and businesslike.]

Ah, but with how easy it is to create chroma for us moonblessed, it shouldn't be an issue, should it? What sort of tail do you have, if you don't mind me asking?

[foolishjustice]

I didn't arrive with any close friends, so Chroma generation has actually been a little touch and go for me. But I still have some Demichroma left over from the casino, so I can probably afford at least basic tailoring.

[Or he could ask...no, no. He's not going to count on a guy who still resents him for hurting his friends being at all interested in helping him with Chroma production.]

I have something that's sort of like a cross between a cat's tail and a bird's tail. It has the general shape of a cat's tail, but there are feathers running down the length of it on either side.

[finethanks]

Is that so? I see... That's right. The culture here is quite different from normal, for most of us. If I hadn't arrived to a place even worse than this prior to coming here, I might be in a similar situation as you.

[He sounds like he's genuinely intrigued by that, but he trails off and snaps back to the topic, chuckling softly.]

What an interesting sounding tail. ♪ I'm a little envious, since mine is always something like a small rabbit's tail, not elegant at all. Let's see, you'd have to be gentle with the feathers, so I see why a hole wouldn't quite work... Something like buttons or a slit may be preferred.

If you'd like, I can always introduce you to one of the shop owners I work closely with. Since I've been growing a little in the public eye, he's eager to help me with small things like this without issue.

[schmisse]

Honestly, you're better off wearing something sleeveless while you have feathers down your arms. It'll avoid making any fabric pucker and it won't hurt when your feathers get stuck on the sleeves.

[ Trust her, she's tried. ]

[foolishjustice]

My arms don't have feathers, I have an extra pair of limbs for my wings. I think I need something more along the lines of a backless shirt.

[schmisse]

Oh.

[ ... That's troublesome. Thankfully, something like that hasn't happened to Weiss, yet. ]

Okay, there's not much I can help with there. I'm not a maker of clothes.

[ridewithdestiny]

Oh man, I didn't even think about how things would fit over wings and tails. I guess I'm lucky I'm dealing with glowing freckles.

You could take a knife to the back of your pants to temporarily cut a hole until you find something that works. I've got one laying around.

[foolishjustice]

My tail has feathers running down it, so just shoving it through a hole wouldn't work.

[hoasen]

A tail?

[She turns her head, curious. Modifying existing clothes would be easy for her, but she wonders anyway--]

What does it look like? Wings I think I can do something about your shirts.

Voice

[foolishjustice]

It's like a cat's tail, except it has large feathers sticking out of either side. I'd show you, but...you might end up seeing a bit more of me than you asked for.

Voice

[chainlinks]

[...

>You could leave him be...]

We're about the same size, when it comes to pants, right?

[But he won't.]

[foolishjustice]

I think so. We're close to the same height, and I don't think our builds are too different.

voice

[bloodisthicker]

Oh, do I ever stand that problem... though, I'm guessing it wasn't as bad as what you got hit with, since I could manage until I actually ended up able to go shopping. Fortunately Prismals have clothes for all sorts of appendages you'll end up sprouting, but sometimes it's just a matter of making sure you can be decent enough to go shopping in the first place...

voice

[foolishjustice]

That's...a problem I'm having, yes. Fortunately, I know someone who's about my size and apparently has a tail, so he's bringing me something. I was worried for a while that I'd have to wait until morning.

[fridgeninja]

It sounds like you've got help with the pants.

When it comes to wings or other transformations, I usually just go without a shirt for a few days. Nobody here seems to mind.

[foolishjustice]

They aren't...rude about it, are they?
