3.0 - week three

[afflictionmods]

WEEK THREE

Last night might have been exhausting for any number of reasons - maybe it was the emotional

toll of dealing with those ghosts, or maybe you stayed up too late after watching Jim Shrok. Who knows, but Saturday is over, even if some of you haven’t quite left it behind and half spirits that are still hanging on, tethered to you and weighing you down…

But that’s not going to stop a new week from starting. There’s no breaks in an eight week course.

There’s very little fanfare to the start of your third week of the course, though it does seem like the fog has lifted even more. It’s a bit more of a trek down the abandoned streets of Estelline, but surely a mile is walkable? Or you could grab a bike or try to hotwire one of those cars in the mall parking lot… Whatever you plan to do this week is up to you. All you know is you've got some new locations to explore.

As always, Florence and Lorelei are available.

SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY

TASK LIST


( OOC Note: Luci, Mutsu, and Mae will each receive a small roomba! Congrats on the successful egg drop. It's a tiny little friend that cleans extra well, though this also means its trash compartment is a little smaller so it'll need to be cleaned more often. )

[ NEVER SAY NEVER!!!!!! ]

Most people have more than a week's worth of clothing, Ace. It's normal.

[ and just like that he's going back to the racks and shelves to see what would look nice on ace. ]

[iubar]

[ I SAID NEVER, WHATCHA GONNA DO. FIGHT ME? ]

Sure, when we were kids.

[ things were different when they were kids. ]

[vivens]

[ MAYBE?

but also squints at the reasoning. what kind of logic is this?? he'll come back with basically a set of clothing that cannot possibly be offensive. they are designed to be easy to move in and is loose enough to where it isn't sabo's level of ""form fitting"" but not completely shapeless either. ]

Did you really have a week's worth of clothes? I'm pretty sure you only had new clothes because Makino brought you whatever she had.

[iubar]

I might have. Didn't really keep track.

[ he looks at the clothes before he goes into the dressing room like a good boy. after changing into the new set, he comes out with the other set of clothes he was wearing to toss at sabo. he can hold onto the clothes. ]

This wouldn't be so bad for lazing around.

[vivens]

[ sabo just quietly "hmm"s to ace's comment about not paying attention because he can't help but feel like that was a complete lie. nevertheless he says nothing and is only mildly offended when ace throws the clothes he had been wearing previous his way.

there are better ways to go about that!!! but he carefully folds them up in his arms as he looks ace over. ]

I think that's what they're designed for. [ hmmm. ] Are they as comfortable as they looked?

[iubar]

[ yeah, don't worry about that part if it's a lie or a not. but as far as tossing his clothes, at least he didn't throw them aside or on the ground, okay??

besides, if sabo wants this, he can keep track of the clothes he'll be taking. ]

They actually are. I wouldn't mind relaxing in these.

[vivens]

[ there are only so many small blessings that sabo should be allowed to count... but he is fine with carrying the clothes that he has in his arms right now. it isn't like it's a whole lot. once they start to increase in number then he'll start complaining. ]

Okay, one more for the collection.

[ looking around and while he could keep going— ]

Do you see anything that you might want to try on?

[iubar]

Hm...

[ he's poking through the clothes, but he's not really sure what calls to him. though, he does grab a plain shirt off the rack that seems about the same size as the others and tosses at sabo. no need to try it on, really. ]

Maybe this.

[ he's grabbing a hoodie from nearby, a red one, and pulls it on over his head. it's without patterns, but has pockets in the front. very comfy. ]

They've got one in blue, too.

[ matchies?? ]

[vivens]

[ sabo is fine to catch whatever is thrown his way even if he does frown slightly at a shirt that comes his way that ace doesn't even bother to try on. it would probably look good on him because it would be hard for something so simple to not but still! the hoodie, however, does get him to raise an eyebrow. ]

You want to match?

[ he's going to put the clothes down onto the counter and shrug off his coat before slipping on the matching hoodie. it's cozy and comfortable. though, well, simple? not that simple is wrong or bad.

it's just that sabo's typically been a bit "fancier" between the two of them. ]

Does it look good on me? I think something like this suits you just fine.

[iubar]

[ sometimes it's nice to have a change of pace with what you wear, isn't it? he walks over to sabo and checks out the hoodie. to the point that he even reaches to pull the hood up over his hair and grins. ]

It's different, but not a bad kind of different.

[ he doesn't really comment on the matching part. sure, that's what it is, but it's not a big deal, right? ]

[vivens]

[ given that they have pretty different tastes and styles of dress, it can be, but sabo doesn't think too much into. he'll swat ace's hand away from his head and pushes the hood back. ]

Fine then. I'll add this to the clothes that I've already picked out for myself.

[iubar]

Great.

[ he grins, seemingly pretty pleased with the fact that sabo's taking his suggestion. ]

[vivens]

See anything else that seems to appeal to you?

[ you know, before sabo goes back to the racks and looks for things that he would like to see ace in? ]

[iubar]

Not sure...

[ he's kind of poking through the clothes, but he doesn't seem to have too much investment in what he gets. that's just how it is. ]

[vivens]

[ i can't believe all he wanted was a hoodie to match with sabo.

also did you know men's fashion is really boring to look at?? like. it all looks same-y to me but whatever, while ace is poking around sabo decides to pick out a couple of styles and outfits for ace to try on. they're close to being the opposite of what sabo wears himself, so you know, just to see what looks (especially) good on him. ]

Then try these.

[iubar]

[ he also grabbed a simple shirt!! it's something. (not really.)

AND YEAH, men's fashion can be really boring in general... he'll take the clothing offered. ]

Quite a lot here.

[ despite that, he gives sabo a fashion show of everything offered. ]

[vivens]

[ barely noteworthy. ]

Faster this way.

[ and thank you for the fashion show. sabo will enjoy it on an objective level as he judges and makes note of what not only looks nice on ace but also suits him personality wise. ]

Which ones did you end up liking? I think the stripped shirt didn't quite look right, but maybe it's because you've never worn stripes around me.

[iubar]

[ wow, mean. ]

I think I prefer the more simple ones.

[ not that he doesn't have a flashy personality sometimes, but he doesn't really care much for the patterns on himself. something simple and easy works just fine.

and hey, with the button ups he can leave his shirt hanging open if he wants. ]

[vivens]

[ the flower print would look good on him!!! sabo would approve of it (and oda has drawn him in a loud print). also stop being a slut with the way you wear your clothes ace. ]

Sounds like we're making some progress in determining what you like.

[ cue sabo adding the more simpler styles to the official stack of clothes. ]

[iubar]

[ my bad. then maybe it's something that he'd wear!!! he's just picking whatever at this point. but don't slut shame him, bro. ]

I'm fine with whatever, though.

[ one step forward, one step back. ]

If something looks good on me, I don't mind wearing it.

[ so. if sabo likes something, that's fine??? ]

[vivens]

[ reminds you of this and this. but yeah, the slut shaming will continue in jest until moral improves or something?? or whenever ace forms a proper opinion of what he wants to wear!?!?? though this does mean the loud print goes into the pile because sabo liked it. sweats. ]

A lot of things look good on you Ace.

[ there's nothing shameful about saying that when it's a fact. ]

[iubar]

[ oh, right. those. but leave his titties alone!! they're meant to be out and free. and that's fine. pick what you want, sabo. this is for you, anyway. ]

Are you saying I'm good looking?

[ cheeky ass grin. ]

[vivens]

[ he doesn't know that!!! also why is it so hard for him to put his tits away?? ]

If you want to take it that way. I'm just saying that you could wear nearly anything and it wouldn't look bad on you.

[iubar]

[ well, he should. gosh. and it's because ace has very lovely tits that everyone should admire. ]

What other reason would there be?

[vivens]

The reason that I just gave.

[ it's week 3!!! sabo is still an ignorant stupid fuck and what if sabo wants to have those as a treat and not share with anyone else, huh? ]
