1st Banana

[luxury_banana]

[A portly, mustachioed man leaps up from his bed, shocked and gasping for breath. He touches his face to see if something is amiss. It ought to be. For one, he isn't wet. He should still be in the currents of a sewer, being carried off to oblivion. Secondly, there aren't any trumpets. Yes, there should be trumpets

Ah, such a strange priority for those who arrive here.. [ She giggles. ]

Nonetheless, it shouldn't be that hard to find a clothing store, right..?

[luxury_banana]

But I would have to go outside to find a clothing store to find a hat. But I will be without a hat. It's a cruel paradox that I would like to put to sleep as quickly as possible. That is why I need to know where to find a store.

[freedomofwomen]

Hmm, but in that case going outside without a hat is inevitable, isn't it..? Even if you knew where to find a clothing store, you would still have to go outside to access it.

[Fassad eyes the lamp sitting on a table a few feet away.]

Bah, then what are you saying, woman? Are you offering me a hat that I can use?

[Because that would be worlds better than the lampshade.]

[freedomofwomen]

That's the same case, right? I don't live in the same house as you.

So your best bet is finding one in the house you woke up in, there's no other possibility.

[luxury_banana]

I have searched this place, but... There is no hat fit to... To... There is no hat fit for use!

[freedomofwomen]

'No hat fit for use'? My, are you saying your standards for hats are that high..? Perhaps you won't find any in this place in general, then.

[luxury_banana]

Bahh. This is the 50's decade, right? I recognize the fashion. The fedoras and bowlers were in style and any one of those would be fit to sit on my head. It's just... The ones here at my house? Much too cheap.

My previous hat was a fine, silk turban clipped together with gold. Now that was a hat.

[freedomofwomen]

If it's a silk turban with gold you're expecting, I'm fairly sure you'll end up a little short here.. The town doesn't quite listen to every whim and fancy the residents here have, after all.

But if you wait long enough, they might decide to give you the one from home back.. But that would mean you couldn't leave the house until then, right..?

[luxury_banana]

Urgh, in this house that's lacking in style...? Hm... My decision comes to this. It would be either staying in this house until who knows when or... walking out with...

Two very, very detestable choices!

[freedomofwomen]

And yet you'll have to pick one or the other. And if I may give a suggestion.. usually ripping off the bandaid quickly is easier, if you catch my drift.
