I talked to some of the shops.

Got some of them to agree to get everyone some clean clothes if the rain messed everything up. It's not much but looks are important or something.

ooc:

• hizen used his rank to get a clothes drive/charity going on for the city. handwaving the logistics here but assume everyone gets at least one set of nice clothes from a shop of their choice.
• i really just wanted an excuse for everyone to get a nice yukata for the summer so assume there are definitely some kimono shops with summer deals, too. ( ◡‿◡ *)
• pretend there's a sign or something at participating locations. it's all courtesy of shuten because hizen hates being perceived.
• gallery for traditonal masc. yukata designs because guys are boring

I wouldn't be so sure about that. People tend to have longer memories than most think.

Getting thanks every now and then is nice.

[harimaya]

I got enough for the next few centuries.

(No more thanks, please.)

[lucky_e]

Then don't think of it as thanks.

[harimaya]

What do you mean?

[lucky_e]

Maybe think of it more as repayment, or people want to know who have evryone free clothing.

[She actually doesn't like the sound of that either. It was kind of the same thing just different wording and a more cynical view. But he doesn't want thanks... for some reason. Better to get him to think of it as something other than people simply giving thanks.]

[harimaya]

If I wanted stuff, I'd say it.

(Actually, he would not.)

All I want is for everyone to take care of their shit because I'm not doing it again.

[lucky_e]

I suppose you would.

[So far she doesn't think he actually would.]

Regardless, you're right, people should take better care of their items. Some of their possessions are most like irreplaceable. It's a shame when people simply let their stuff fall apart or abandon them.

Oh.

Things he didn't expect to hear (read?) today. This sure does resonate with him.)

Most people don't think about things when they think they can just replace them.

[lucky_e]

No, they don't, do they. Even when there's still plenty of life left in them.

[harimaya]

(This conversation feels... weird. Very familiar. If he didn't know better he'd think he was talking to someone like him and in a city like this, it's certainly possible but... Hm.)

It can't be helped.
Especially if they don't know.

(He can't blame people for getting rid of things when they don't know those things also have souls.)

[lucky_e]

No, I suppose it can't be. More so if they're feeling the item is no longer necessary.

It doesn't make them worth any less, though. Or lessen the meaning they hold.
