Who: Chara and anyone.
Broadcast: video, Fleetwide.
Action: the SS Golden, if anyone stops by.
When: Right this minute.

Does anyone have any kid's or smaller-sized clothes they don't mind lending out? I'm...in a little bit of a weird spot.

[ to say the least. how lucky that they showed up when the fleet's accounts were frozen.

it's a minor inconvenience when compared to things like being dragged here, away from the fulfillment of their plan, but regardless. ]

I only have my pajama's and what they gave us. I know how to knit, but i don't have anything to do it with, so I can't make my own clothes.

I prefer stripes, if anyone has anything like that.

[ truthfully, they'd rather not bother with something like repayment. but that isn't the image they're trying to present to the fleet, so! ]

I'm not sure what I could give in return...I know how to garden and knit if anyone wants to learn.

[He thought about that, carefully.]

How much would you like? Does 10% set on a monthly rate sound reasonable?

I don't know much about the currency yet...

[ probably the first real truth they've told since arriving here. ]

But that's fine. I just need enough for a couple outfits...do you know how much it might cost?

Re: Video

Well, it depends on the quality of the material and the outfits you are buying. I myself bought some items for both commonplace and future social outings. If you are simply looking for things to putter around with, a hundred should do you.

[His mismatched eyes narrowed thoughtfully.] One should learn the value of one's own money though.

I don't really wear anything special, so a hundred will be fine.

[ they put on a sheepish look. ]

When I did get anything, someone else always bought it for me.

[ at least in the underground. by the time they were buying their own stuff there, they'd had more than enough gold to not pay attention to it. ]

Hmmmm. Well. That would explain quite a bit.

[Right.]

So, here is what you need to know. Buy no clothing from a street vendor. They shall see you from a country mile away, and rob you blind.

Re: Video

[namethefallen]

Why would they do that?

[ of course, they know. especially if the vendor is a human. surely no human would have an issue with cheating a child out of their money. ]

Re: Video

Because they are looking for money, not sympathy. Sympathy does not buy them wine or food. Go to a legitimate store. When we next have money, put it somewhere safe in your room. Do not leave it in their ... banking system.

Why not?

Would you trust anyone else with your money after this particular fiasco?
