I require immediate access to fabric and a sewing machine.

[There is a moment's pause, before she returns to add:]

The fabric must not be plaid.

Uhhh. I can get you fabric, but I'm not so sure about the sewing machine.

Fabric alone is acceptable. The sewing machine can be replaced by other sewing materials, but is preferred. Speed is essential.

Okay. What kind of fabric do you want specifically?

It must not be plaid. Black is preferred. Cotton is preferred.

How heavy? Like, shirt or totebag?

Shirt. I must make an outfit for Hajime. It is a matter of grave importance.

...sewin' machine, huh? Well... I've got one, but it might take a bit of gettin' used to.

I am willing to learn. My task is necessary.

Heh, that's cool. It's kinda Nova Venezia style clockwork, mostly, but once you get used to how to control the speed you'll be fine.

[pause...]

So - uh, what're you thinkin' of making?

I must make an outfit for Hajime. He is wearing orange plaid.

Okay. Where should I meet you? This won't take long

[given that he actually owns black shirts and knows what the fabric is like pretty well]

...uh. Rescue mission?

I am on the mountainside.

Yes.

Where may I find your sewing machine?

Still in my room ... gimme a bit and I'll go get it. I can leave it in the workshop or the diner...

Okay. I'll be there in five or so.

I would prefer the diner.

Is there also food currently available for consumption?

[...why isn't he surprised. Why.]

Well... I filled things up last time I was there...

Are you making something? What is it?

This knowledge pleases me.

I am making clothing for Hajime. His current attire is inappropriate.

Oh! You mean that terrible suit he brought back from the Jaunt? [yeah, Phillip saw that.]

Yes.

When I have made him acceptable clothing, I will savage it apart with my teeth and glory in its destruction.

[Honestly that just sounds kind of funny.]

It probably deserves it.

Do I even want to know why you're specifying the plaid thing?

There is no probably. That it deserves it is certain.

I do not know. Do you wish to know?

Well... have fun, I guess? [ripping that apart seems like it would be fun.]

I will enjoy the carnage.

It's a mighty specific thing to bring up. Implies some sort of tartaned horror.

Yes. Hajime is wearing...orange plaid.

Orange plaid?

[That sounds...]

Zoe is never allowed to comment on my fashion sense again.

Why is your fashion sense a forbidden topic?

My shirts might be bright but at least they aren't orange plaid.

That is not an adequate test of good fashion.

Mostly aiming for not the worst at this point.

Only one garment may be "the worst". Your standards are too low.

Just trying to avoid getting my shirts tossed out an airlock.
