[ action; Welp.

Bro could say that tailor is a pretty kosher job as far as jobs go. Yes, he is entirely satisfied with this choice in career, and not bored even in the slightest. It's like Mayfield analyzed him and spoke to his truest of true callings, by which he means it went "oh he kinda likes sewing all right then take the most side-eyed career you can get." Actually, all the more suspicious manly drone behavior is kind of a plus. He only wishes they were easier to rock the boat with.

So yes, to make a long story short, Mister Strider is finally actually doing stuff in his new career as a tailor instead of idly sitting around in the store poking at shit. Hey, it's thread and needles, he can handle that. Maybe even snag some to take home if he's cool about it. Taking all the clients and flash-step measuring, that's just the way to be.

Don't worry about the sword. He's just very attached to it. Moral support since Lil Cal's not around.

Now he only has to get around to fabric and stuffing.... ]


[ phone, evening; ]

So this is the nine to five lifestyle, huh. Get up and walk on over to trouser central, live the most exciting damn existence since Cher's second-to-last last tour, do it again tomorrow. Been a while since I went out into the bona fide workforce.

Pretty cute. Not my style but you won't hear me gettin' all butthurt over a new routine. Even if it's amazing everyone didn't just lose their shit like monkeys in a barfight when they realized they had nothing to do in this decade. Takes tenacity. Gotta respect the survivors.

I solemnly swear to bring her out for special occasions.

You should at least take her out for walks sometimes.

We'll see if she asks nicely. Which she probably will. Bitches come with crazy class in these parts.

It's the fifties. Better times. I think granting sufferage really screwed things up.

Or they were all just super good at hiding how fucking messed up they were. Dunno.

Well if she's a closet alcoholic or something I don't see where she gets to whine about it.

Wait you're hooking her up with booze in that closet?

Every house needs a booze closet. It's the best thing to stockpile right now.

...does that mean I can wet my beak a bit?

...shit, you're lucky you're not the one with the actual beak. And no.

The temptation is strong, I know. Just remember which house is gonna have the best bonfire when it's time to play Donner party.

[ ... Yeah there was pretty much no way this scarf wasn't gonna be a fashion disaster (http://resources.betterfly.com/uploads_resources/79000/78510/1312734778-1145.jpg). ]

I've filed that away for future reference. It will not be forgotten.

[ just staring at that scarf. wait oh crap does he have to actually wear this thing... this plan was very poorly conceived. ]

Good, 'cause I'm not making any Dahmer-style flesh bibs, you dig?

[identity profile] timetables.livejournal.com 2011-12-22 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
I think I've outgrown bibs. Just a little.

You sure about that? Still lookin' pretty short to me.

[identity profile] timetables.livejournal.com 2011-12-22 08:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ wow ouch. ]

Pretty sure. Don't think there are any horses around here anyway.

[ ... :|a ] Damn, you're right. What's a guy gotta do to pick up a dead horse in these parts?

I know the whole thing's got some sort of sentimental significance to you but maybe you should just let it go.
