I care a little bit. Don't want to be walking around looking like a mess, which means this past week has been a bit of a nightmare on the impressions front. At least you've all been nice enough not to judge.
Silk, this vest. You could barely tell at this point, the threads are all misaligned here and there. Definitely need some new shoes, so let's hope they stock those... my current ones are covered in filth, they may as well go in the pyre when I'm done with them.
[ she listens attentively, and she will start walking towards the funky store. ]
It wouldn't be fair of anyone to judge too harshly when we're all in the same situation. Some of us may have soap, but silk or any more sensitive types of fabric can't really be taken care of in stream water...
I wouldn't throw your shoes away so quickly. I'm sure they're not that terrible, not any more than mine.
Oh, trust me. They're bad. Really surprised about how filthy you can get in a matter of just three days or so. You don't want to know what kinds of things they've waded through -- if it weren't for rats and leeches roaming around, and to spare everyone the terrible state of my feet from walking so much in loafers rather than proper hiking shoes, I'd have changed out for the flats entirely. Not my favourite, but what'll do will do...
[ He sighs! ]
Walked around a decent amount here too, but it's not as bad. I can afford to sit down here and there.
[ this is more than caring a little bit.... she may having more trouble not being weirded out, but this is fine. she has faced weirder things. ]
It must be very troublesome for you. We will soon alleviate you from some of the filthiness. I don't think anyone should be looking at your feet in the first place, but... if that's a worry, it's a worry.
[ she is aware people can have things about feet, but she'd like to think none of them are here. ]
There are much fewer parasites on this island, at least.
[ Stop he was 0% weird about saying that he only means it in the sense that he's gotten blisters and stuff, he complains about it in one of the party talks. It's just unpleasant to see wounds and etc. ]
You've checked? I'll consider that a win. Really getting sick of not being able to go near water without having to check it twice first.
I don't know any leeches to be living in salt waters, but let's hope for no nasty surprises. I know there have been people trying to fish in the river... but expanding our food choices sounds like a good idea.
[ Fishing minigame... ]
Yeah, you're right. Maybe I'm being paranoid by saying I don't feel right fully trusting it, but at the same time... it's nice to catch a break.
[ fishing minigame... can't be a good game without it ]
We are still in cage. I don't think this island rids of of our looming problems, but I wish to acknowledge when something is nice. I don't want to feed into a sinking morale.
[ shit's bad, but it takes so much energy to be down all the time. ]
[ Small harrowing reminders of their time here. His cheeriness really is struggling to maintain itself, but he looks at that hand. It takes him a second, but he accepts it. ]
You've got a sort of regal aura about you, you know? Is that just normal with... halovians, was it?
No? [ Maybe he's a bit self-conscious now... he hope that didn't come off as flirting or something. It wasn't. ] Well, pick whichever word you want then...
[ Looking at these. Gesturing to the button-up, but: ]
Are you picking them out for me? What about yourself?
[ He's going to personally go pick up a new outfit, and because they have changing rooms in here, he's going to disappear for a second. If he has to spend one more minute in his wrecked default clothes he's going to riot. His fashion sense isn't astounding because he's from a dour 1942 and not a fantasy world, but it's well-dressed without being too stuffy. Yippee! He's got a couple of papers in his hand and his old clothes folded over an arm, and he's going to shuffle over to the accessories section. ]
[ A purse would be fine probably there are purses for men. He just doesn't want something super bright and silly. ]
Just need something to keep all of... this in. [ His papers and his clothes and the shit he had in his pockets, which include a pen, thread and needles, cloth fragments. You never fuckin' know in this place okay? ] And would probably help to just carry the medical kit around on my person also. Kind of concerned about how things will go moving forward.
Yeah, I mean. Given the everything we know, it'd be pretty stupid if I just decided to sat around doing nothing, right? Either that, or I'm just letting it happen.
Not sitting around and doing nothing manifests differently for everyone. You collect supplies for any eventual situation, it seems, as a start. Others may act with their heart first. I prefer talking to people to see how they are and where that may lead to.

A bit of a dour analogy, but it's not wrong. Watchful eyes behind the bars and veil included.
It's hard to take it easy around here, but always worth trying where you can.
no subject
[ anyway, that is very dour in front of someone who is notably less dour.
she offers a hand to him. affection week! ]
So let's try like this.

she is going to tug daan into the funky fashionista. ]
Regal? There are a number of Halovians in leadership positions in Penacony, but it's not something that's inherent to all of us.
no subject
So it's something that comes naturally to you specifically, then.

[ she is going to start pulling out tops for daan to choose from with her free hand.
button up or a color block t-shirt? ]

no subject
No, I appreciate your thoughts. Thank you for thinking I'm regal.
[ robin thinks she's more ordinary than she is. she drapes the button up over his arm. ]
I will collect more clothes for myself. The village isn't the most pristine place.
[ #milleniumidol time, as much as an animal crossing shop allows. ]
no subject
It isn't. Can't believe we spent a week there like this.
Promise to never bring it up ever again once we've freshened up?
no subject
Of course. You have my word. It's only forward from here.
no subject
Great. We can start new.

Have you seen any bags around here?
no subject
she isn't changing yet, but he can see she has collected two or three outfits. they are kind of on the fancier side on account of being an hsr. ]
Only purses... A tote bag could be neutral enough.
[ she is assuming he'd prefer something gender neutral. ]

With all the bloodshed they want for their rituals, it'd be wise to carry your medical kit around as much as possible.
[ she hates that she has to consider this. ]
You like to be prepared, don't you?
no subject
Yeah, I mean. Given the everything we know, it'd be pretty stupid if I just decided to sat around doing nothing, right? Either that, or I'm just letting it happen.
Both don't sit so well with me.
no subject
no subject
I don't really have in me to get all that emotional about it, I guess?
But I can get talking to people and things like that. It's good to see what other people think.
