Hey. I have access now to what we'd need to make our own clothing. If you need anything in particular made, I can produce something durable enough for the conditions back at the Hub without forcing you out into the Badlands for the grave and unforgivable crime of not having money.

Of course, you might not have an idea what you want. In that case, there are already some designs I'm working on that might interest a discerning fashionista.

[What he sends visually is... bad. Horrible, awful, unbearable, bad.

Worse yet, he also provides images of patterned skirts, leggings, pants, and even a suit. All in this criminally terrible style. Yet the workmanship seems to be really good.]

I'll only ask the cost to cover the materials for whatever you need. Just let me know.

Comments

[lunala]

Whoa. [Those designs... But also:] You really are good at sewing.

[splinten]

Thanks. I had a lot of time to practice.

[With... smuppets....... but unlike SOME VERSIONS OF HIM, Dirk does not feel it is appropriate to expose young children to smuppets.]

[rootbound]

in theory how expensive do you think a geir-sized garment would be

[splinten]

[Dirk gives a price that makes sense but, you know, Geir is huge, so. BEST PRICE YOU'LL GET ANYWHERE FOR A DRAGON-SIZED SHIRT. Still the cost of a dragon-sized shirt.]

The alternative option would be to paint this directly on him.
But the noble aspiration of putting the dude in a t-shirt is one I'm willing to strive for.

[cherrypuncher]

[ah.]

Wow, that's such a unique style!

[SHE MEANS IT!!!]

That's a really nice offer for you to make, thank you!

[splinten]

[THANK YOU FOR YOUR CLEARLY QUALITY TASTE]

No problem. I figure we should stock up on resource while we can.

[soulcomet]

[yeah, she's pretty much unfazed by any of this over here.]

I wouldn't mind a shirt, if you have the time! How much do you think the materials would cost?

[splinten]

[He quotes a price that is reasonable and cheap.]

Any specifications on style or the design?

[lohengrins]

Craft is your strong suit.

Design is far from it.

I'm interested — so long as you adhere to my requests.

[splinten]

Your kind praise inclines me to throw in a Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff houserobe for free.

But sure. What do you need?

[sluggard]

This the fashion wherever you're from?

[splinten]

Universally.

[terezias]

. . .

I would like twelve.

[splinten]

You've got it. Give me any specifics you want and I'll start working on them immediately.

[lalliho]

This makes my brain hurt.

[splinten]

[Oh he actually feels bad for that.]

Sorry. There are some pills that help headaches if you got one. I could bring you some.

[enflame]

Is this a joke?

[splinten]

The sacrosanct subject of fashion is one that should never be treated as a joke.

[talim]

[ jude.......... truly has no idea what to say. he just sort of stares at the images for a while before responding. ]

Those designs are. Uh. Unique! Really unique.

That aside, though, I never expected you to know how to sew. I just went and got some knitting supplies, myself. I can make scarves and hats and mittens, stuff like that, but... an entire warddrobe is way beyond me. How long did it take you to learn?

[ there's no denying that dirk has talent, more talent than jude has in the sewing department, but... Well. ]

[splinten]

[Jude you damn fool.]

It might be nice to gather supplies to bring back to the Hub when we return.

I'm not sure. I picked it up over the course of my childhood sewing different puppets.

[witchhooded]

it turns out to be CRAZY what kind of sewings this guy can get up to....

argh! wait!

[ it has to be green or else it is WRONG. ]

im telling you, fabric like that is UNREAL, it doesnt even HAPEN :o

ohh, yes! yaaay!

[splinten]

[He better make his thoughts orange now!]

THIS IS WHAT THE REFRANCE

Any particular requests?

[witchwithoutacause]

Thanks I hate it.

[splinten]

You're welcome, I'll get you three.

[alphonse]

[Please don't let Ed be paying attention to this. His and Dirk's combined bad taste could destroy the world.]

If you need more money for supplies, I'll give you some of mine.

[Proper clothing for the coven is a good cause, even if it's... that. Surely everyone will know to be very specific in their requests, right?]

Who are those people in your designs?

[splinten]

I'd prefer not to draw on anyone's finances more than absolutely necessary, given the potential consequences of going broke.

They're characters from an iconic and culturally significant film series in my universe. It's called Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff.

[apatheia]

Is this considered to be fashionable where you're from?

[It's actually an honest question though. Hell if she knows what the clothes human wore would've looked like!!]

[splinten]

[Shit he can't lie to the android]

No, this is just stuff pulled from my Bro's movies. They're ironically horrible.

[potentite]

[Oh. Jake wants something handmade by Dirk, shit.]

What if I want it to be a surprise?

[splinten]

[Well his birthday is tomorrow actually so LITTLE DOES HE REALIZE]

A surprise is definitely on the table for you, bro.

( voice )

[pigii]

[ despite the style being absolutely not up ruby's alley, she can definitely appreciate the work of a fellow sewer! she's glad that she isn't the only one. ]

Your stitching... Um... It's really nice.

[ her voice is quiet and high-pitched, almost like a child's. ]

[splinten]

[Alas, he has traumatized a child.

Actually no, he thinks that's just fine, everyone should learn to love SBAHJ from an early age.]

Thanks. It'd be unfortunate if I tried to offer more durable clothing to the coven only to give them something that'll fall apart literally at the seems.

[reckoner]

[ . . . ]

You are nothing if not consistent.

[splinten]

Thanks. Do you want one?

[imsorey]

[trendy fashion hell yes???]

These looks really interesting! Can you make a, uh...

[he has to pause to remember the word]

a hoodie? Since it's getting cold out I'll need one.

[splinten]

[fantasy jesus, fashion disaster. perfect]

I'm on it. Any preferences on design?
