A simple request [Open | Video/Action]

[space_jesus]

[Look who's back. And... still wearing that same robe. Does he not have any other clothes yet?]

If anyone knows where I can find a good tailor, please, let me know. My needs are simple, but rather... immediate.

[Apparently not. And... is he glowing?]

[There seem to be more demands of a tailor as of late! Clothes is a big deal.]

Hello, what do you need help with?

[space_jesus]

I need more clothes - gloves especially. [...yes, the aforementioned glow IS centered largely in his hands.] They need to be very durable, and very tightly woven.

[hellish_butler]

I run a store in Nova City. [Sends him the address to his CPU.] Come by, and have a look, then I'll take measurement. Be sure to have money though.

[space_jesus]

Alright. I'll be by there sometime this afternoon, assuming time works the same in all the cities. [He hasn't really memorized the maps yet, so he doesn't know for sure how long it'll take - nor does he want to risk teleporting, just yet. Not on something as sketchy as an address.]

[It's your bff priest!]

Hi, did you settled in yet? I'm sure finding good clothes for you shouldn't be too hard. And why you're glowing?

[space_jesus]

Remember that thing I told you about? It's kind of hard to contain without something to cover it up. It's a bit like a lantern. A really bright, universe-destroying lantern.

[02crusnikabel]

Yes, I did.

Ah, I see. Your light...it's wonderful! You're not going to go supernova soon, are you?

[space_jesus]

No. But if I don't find some way to contain it soon, it will start leaking. Luckily most of it had been drained before I ended up here, but it's slowly coming back. Heavy clothing is usually good enough to keep it in check - don't ask me why, I'm not sure of the reason for that.

[02crusnikabel]

Sadly, I'm not a good tailor, and I'm only good at sewing up patches and holes. I did that for my socks a lot.

Here's to hoping you find something suitable to wear!

[firstrose]

You know someone else asked for the exact same this just yesterday, right? [What is it with people asking for a good tailor lately? Suigintou hopes there isn't a thief traveling around, stealing people's clothes. She'd be very pissed if someone was to steal her doll-size wardrobe.]

Also I hate to break it to you but... you're glowing.

[space_jesus]

No, I didn't know that. I apologize - I've only been here a few days, and I'm still getting used to everything. And yes, I know I'm glowing. That's part of the reason I need a tailor.

[firstrose]

Well there are worse things in the world than glowing, unless you're trying really hard to be discreet.

May I ask why you're glowing? Is it common where you come from?

[space_jesus]

No, it's not very common. The why is a bit of a long story - suffice to say that if I don't find some way to bring it to a manageable level, bad things may happen.

[firstrose]

Lucky you, I happen to have a lot of free time lately.

Bad things, huh? [She quirks a quizzical eyebrow.] Exactly how bad are we talking about here? [She knows dead people come back to life here but still, she'd rather not have to experience it first hand.]

[space_jesus]

The kind of bad where people turn into nearly unkillable monsters called Gnosis. I'd really like to avoid that, if possible. [No, this world has enough problems already - let's not bring the Gnosis here.]

Have you ever heard the theory that all life has a collective unconscious or subconscious? Where I come from, that theory has been proven - we call the system we use to access it the UMN, the Unus Mundus Network. My power is a product of that collective - specifically, the part that desires destruction and separation. That's the really brief explanation - there's a lot more to it than that, but it's not important right now. That force is called Anima.

[yuuwish]

Are you alright, my child?

[Yuuko is too well-educated to bring up the fact that he's glowing just like that. But still, this is unusual, even for someone who's seen as many worlds as Yuuko has.]

[space_jesus]

[Child. Now that's something he hasn't been called in a long, long time. Even if it's meant in the spiritual sense. The thought brings a smile, albeit a sad one, to his face.] I'm fine. It's the rest of the world I'm worried about. Bad things happen when this power of mine builds up in one place. [No, he does not look happy about that fact.]

[yuuwish]

A huge amount of power concentrated in one place or in one being is always a hazardous thing. No matter what world you're in.

[A pause.]

...Should you need help keeping it in check, I might be able to provide assistance.

[It's very rare from Yuuko to offer than kind of assistance but she can tell there is something special about the 'boy' she's talking to.]

[space_jesus]

I might have to take you up on that, if things get too out of hand. This world has fewer people in it than the one I came from, so hopefully that will limit it, but if worse comes to worst...
