[The recording clicks on, and there is an irritated silence for a moment. Erik does not like asking for things.]

Is there a tailor on board?

/sudden and obsessive interest in your desires

[buywithme]

I can do tailoring. What is it you need, Comrade? I'd be happy to furnish you with whatever it is you require?

[ingenue_bait]

My suit seems to have met with a mishap. [Apparently you can't dry wool in a dryer?] My shirts seem quite unharmed, but my best evening clothes are far too small.

What do you charge?

[buywithme]

I can make suits. I'm quite experienced in that area. In many areas, really, Comrade, I'm sure you'll be entirely satisfied with me.

No charge. I'll just need you to sign some forms. [Like a marriage certificate C:]

[ingenue_bait]

Forms? For a suit?

[There is something off about this. Erik is not sure what. But... Erik needs clothes.]

[ichoosefight]

I'm a decent hand with needle and thread.

[ingenue_bait]

[A moment of stunned recognition and shame.]

I'm afraid this is more than simple mending, mademoiselle.

[ichoosefight]

[ You aren't William Shatner. ] I can put stuff together from scratch too.

[ingenue_bait]

[And don't think he's not eternally grateful.]

I will.. keep it in mind. I have had a few offers. Thank you.

*vaguely remembers making a request like this long ago*

[young_idealist]

Your warden may be able to get new clothes for you.

[ingenue_bait]

I am used to providing for myself. But it is... useful information, thank you.

[young_idealist]

I remember feeling much the same way when I first arrived, and I'm a warden. Best of luck.

[ingenue_bait]

You imply this is impossible?

[ingenue_bait]

You seem very enthusiastic, monsieur. I am from roughly 1880, and favor evening dress. What do you charge?

[ingenue_bait]

[Suspiciously.]

Erik.

[failedcreator]

Sadly, I am yet to see one who does such things.

[ingenue_bait]

How unfortunate for you.

[failedcreator]

You have found one who does?

[ingenue_bait]

I thought I had.
