[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?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

We have a mission to go get some medical supplies in the near past, but still distant future.

We have to do it for the sake of blending in.

We... but...

[He knows she wouldn't actually lie about it, so...]

Why didn't anyone tell me this before?!

She just told me about it an hour ago. It should be a really, really easy mission.

Rosette, we're talking about time travel. What could possibly be easy about that?

The fact WE don't have to do the technology portion of it.

We go in, we get things, leave. WOOSH. Heroes again.

[... "Again" ...]

Where are we going, exactly? And this isn't a stealth mission, is it? [SO FUCKED IF IT'S A STEALTH MISSION.]

There's an apothecary in the for this time period past and for our time period future we really need a better way to say this. We're supposed to just get medical supplies.

... That's it? Really?

[They're being sent shopping?]

They're probably testing the waters before we get the really good missions.

[He was about to ask what a "really good mission" actually entails, but thinks better of it before the words are even formed.

Instead;]

... So what did you have in mind? I don't know anything about clothing. [Obviously.]

We'll have to look around! I know there isn't much in the stores, but I figure you can make it work if we get a sewing kit.

Other than that, everyone keeps mentioning 'jeans' so we'll start there. You can get some too.

I think you're seriously overestimating my abilit— .... I have no idea what a 'jeans' is.

[She shows him a couple of images she'd pulled up.] It comes in skirts and jackets too.

[lol what is fashion sense]

Well that's not so bad.

I know. I think it could look really cute.

Maybe.

Let me guess: you haven't bothered to look up prices yet.

It's not like anything I find there will be exact anyway!

Probably not, but you can't even start a budget without an estimate.

[And speaking of...]

How's the job search going?

Eheheh... it...

Could have gone better.

I don't think I can be a waitress.

[...

.......................]

Which restaurant have you been banned from entering now?

The two closest to the east and one of the three to the west.

The food wasn't that good anyways.

..........

Go get the map so we can mark them off, too.

Fine.. [She fishes out the now well worn map and petulantly puts a slash through the restaurant. And a frowny face next to it.]

I'll think of something else.
