[In 304, a nun in an ash stained provincial dress and a half elf from the Times of Yore are crowded around a tablet propped up at the table. By the expressions ranging from serious to annoyed, some sort of argument has just taken place between the two of them.

Rosette is the one to address the network, as if proving a point in the simple asking.]

So! Hypothetically, if someone were going on a mission and needed to blend into the turn of the millennium, average working class crowd... what would you wear?

[ten bucks to the first person who can guess who the annoyed person is]

What does working class crowd even mean . . .

[soul_sister]

You know, factory workers! Shop keepers... [She has to stop and think here, for all of her travel, her world is kind of a small one.] Construction!

So, before I go dredging up memories of high school, I have to ask—turn of which millenium?

[soul_sister]

[There's a moment, where Rosette has to stop and wonder exactly how far into the future people are gathered here.]

The second one?

[hyanaimne]

[Tempest, oh so helpfully, just gestures to what Rosette says]

Hello, Elena.

[anklets]

[Perked by the word 'millenium', it's kind of inescapable...] I'd think a button-down and trousers would suffice.

[ since apparently, in the future, more women than just those of highly specific religious Orders prefer to wear them ]

[soul_sister]

You mean, dress as a guy?

[The future is a strange and befuddling place...]

[hyanaimne]

[Tempest tilts her head]

What is a button-down? A type of shirt?

[allucinator]

Clothes that look like they're secondhand.

[soul_sister]

I was expecting a lot more metallics, honestly.

At least that part should be easy.

[hyanaimne]

That is it?

[crocodilesmiles]

Pants!

... Wait, which millennium?

[This reply takes quite a while, as Rosette really isn't used to a tablet keyboard even a little.]

Second! 2000-ish.

I'm beginning to think trousers are the only option.

[Tempest, meanwhile, has had a bit more practice, and steals the keyboard to type her own response]

Other than pants, any other suggestions?

[vibrant]

Jeans are a good start.

[soul_sister]

That's darned near unanimous on jeans...

[She starts tapping on a second tablet, looking up this "jeans" phenomena.]

Do they come in... Oh hey!

[hyanaimne]

Jeans seems to be a popular choice . . .

[grooves]

...Hmm!

[Shiki looks thoughtful. She always gives fashion careful consideration, so a post like this is absolutely fascinating. It's a bit strange, reading others' advice without giving it herself, but...

Maybe there's still some room for pointers yet?]

It looks like you've already got some great suggestions here. Though I'd say it probably depends on where you're going, too -- not just when.

[hyanaimne]

[Tempest blinks at the question, then picks up her tablet to check]

Ah . . . a place called . . . "New York City"?

[soul_sister]

Nowhere fancy... I was kinda hoping ballroom and masquerade. But it looks like we're just going to pick up supplies at a chemist's shop.

action. / LATER

[overclocking]

[There's no knock on the apartment door before it opens, which is a rather obvious indicator of who's returned—before he actually comes into view, still dripping from the constant drizzle, and holding a small brown bag under one arm.

He comes to an abrupt halt when he reaches the living room, glancing between Rosette, Tempest, and the tablet, dubiously.

Guess who hasn't heard about any of this.]

[Perfunctorily;] Good evening, Tempest.

Er, what's... going on...? [Since when do you two hang out??]

[hyanaimne]

[since this afternoon, duh. Tempest glances up as he comes in, head tilting a bit. She'll leave explanations to Rosette, because she's nice that way]

Good evening, Chrono.

Something snazzy!

[Says the girl in weird robes]

[soul_sister]

Hmmmmmmm... Like business suits sort of thing?

[galactically]

A comfortable pair of jeans, a T-shirt, and boots.

[She pauses momentarily with an owlish glance.]

A jacket to match the jeans works just as nicely.

[soul_sister]

Huuuuh, with a really nice blouse that could look pretty good.

[collectedloot]

Something casual would work pretty good. You could dress up a bit nicer, maybe, but it's not as common.

[soul_sister]

The stores don't really have a whole lot in super fancy outfits anyway. I've already looked.
