15 - Making the best of an awkward situation

[ichoosefight]

Hey, guys, you know if you need clothes Bianca doesn't need a special office to make or adjust them, right? Just thought I'd remind you all. And I've got some of my sister's clothes if anybody needs 'em. Men's clothes are way easier.

[ Steph knows exactly who she was yesterday, but giving it away right at the start wouldn't be any fun, now would it? Still, she's happy to lend out her clothes and make adjustments so that she has something to wear too. ]

If you don't have anything to wear to pick up new clothes, lemme know. I'll bring you a towel, if nothing else.

And try not to get too excited about your new bodies. They're temporary, remember? [ Side-eyeing you, John. ]

I am, dearheart.

[looseedges]

Whoa.

Um. Hi.

[notacomedienne]

I know my way around a needle and thread, if you need help.

[looseedges]

...Isn't that kind of going to an extreme, though? We have different bodies for maybe three days, so let's make a wardrobe of all brand new clothes?

[notacomedienne]

Oh, goodness, yes -- and it'd take too long. No. Merely modifying existing clothes temporarily, that's all.

[looseedges]

Yeah, well. I don't know about you, but I've gotten a lot...bigger and squarer than I used to be, so. I think that would take more than modifying, anyway.

[notacomedienne]

We'll figure something out, promise.

[looseedges]

Why are you being so helpful, anyway? Like I said, I don't even know you.

[notacomedienne]

I live to be helpful. It's in my DNA, practically.

[looseedges]

Are you like this when you're...you know. A guy, too? Or are you one of the ones who doesn't remember?

[notacomedienne]

Due to my nature, I have to keep abreast of who I become at any time. I could become that thing the Joker, after all... so I read my notes to myself, my messagse to me... and I know the man I will return to be is a good and helpful soul.

[looseedges]

Oh. Well that's...good, to know. And for you. To know that you get to be nice, no matter what.

[And she's trying to figure out if she knows who Bianca normally is, because she's not picking up on the whole 'Red Hood' thing.]

[notacomedienne]

Not always, my poppet. Not always.

My alter is known by many names. Here they call him the Red Hood -- but his friends call him Jack.
