[Mini-Mingle] A Shopping Trip

Given that those who're staying at the ADI housing are getting a clothing allowance, Meredith has taken it upon herself to organize a shopping trip to the Marshalls at Gloucester Crossing. The store is full of surprising deals, and a wide enough variety of clothing that people of all genders might find something interesting. There's even some of the new fall selections in stock already.

While Meredith's been sure to grab those who obviously need a little help, and those who'll obviously enjoy the chance to get out of ADI territory, everyone's welcome to come along for the trip.

(ooc: feel free to tag around with one another as well as me, this is just a fun way to introduce our characters to one another)

[Oh no, he didn't mean to insult her, but he also has to try very hard to stifle a giggle at that comparison.]

I mean, it's not bad to be a lesbian.

[Says the fellow queer, doing the gay dance of figuring out when other gays are present. But he does lean over just a bit to look at her options.]

I guess it depends what you want to be dressing like? Out of the, uh, the options here.

Being a lesbian and dressing like one are two different beasts, really.

[Aelwyn, you already dress like a lesbian, just a repressed rich kid variety.]

Something... professional, I suppose would be my choice? I mean, we're working in an office. But something that actually looks good too. Dark Academia, I believe it's called? I don't know. All of these clothes are so cheap and trashy...

[This is actually a little bit fun, or would at least be more fun if he wasn't so off base right now. He does nod along though, thinking more about Jon's style of dress back before the... everything.]

Oh, uh-- yeah, I get that, uhm. I mean, maybe you can just find some basic stuff here? You know like, uh, plain color shirts and pants and things to start. You don't think they have a uniform or anything, do you?

[Now he's getting a bit nervous about this, seeing as the clothes he tumbled in with are a heavy jacket, some incredibly beat-up jeans, and an old undershirt. Not exactly... office material.]

[Aelwyn just looks at him, furrowing her brows. She's not sure she should be asking this man for fashion advice. But just a dress shirt, one that's perhaps a bit too fancy. That would work.]

Didn't you know? That's what they told me.

[Having fucked with Martin Blackwood, she will go and pick up a crisp white shirt with a small black ribbon tied onto the collar. Neat.]

[People probably shouldn't be asking Martin for most advice, but all of that has been removed from his thought process in the front of 'oh no there's a uniform'. He purses his lips a moment like he's trying to scan his memories and think about if he was told that and simply forgot, and instead just asks again, as if he is absolutely going to get the truth.]

Wait, w-- who said that? There was a lot of stuff in the, the orientation, sure, but shouldn't they give us clothes if they want us to wear something specific? We just got here!
