I would've imagined there are plenty of things you could borrow for the day?

[ look, he's trying to be helpful! because this is a minor problem compared to... all the other problems... and so a change of pace? he possibly has no idea how this works. ]

[ryototsukai]

you really think someone has a whole funeral outfit for me to borrow? just like that?

[kaientai]

Well... I don't know. Is there a specific thing you're supposed to wear to funerals anyway?

[ryototsukai]

black kimono for women, normal sleeve length. traditionally men also wear black, but i guess it'd be a suit and tie affair, right?

Can just rent something or put on whatever your Sunday best.

[ryototsukai]

what do you mean rent? you can rent clothes???

[21towin]

Yeah, you can rent suits and the like. Can be useful if you're on a budget and will only be using it once.

What?
Have you really not built up a way of income yet after how much time we've been here?
What have you been doing all this month?

[ryototsukai]

my whole bonus got sucked up by my debt. i'm back where i started.

[pervy_kappa]

Shit.
You just got here and you're already in debt?
What the hell did you do???

[Man that sucks. Usually in cities like this with the types of jobs they're forced to work debt usually ends up continuing for life too.]

Get money.

(He's very helpful.)

[ryototsukai]

that's obvious but it kind of misses the "how" part of the equation, doesn't it?

[harimaya]

Get a job.
What have you been doing this whole time?

Have you done nothing with your time?

[ryototsukai]

half my paycheck goes to my debt, and the other half is really thinly stretched among keeping a roof over my head and food in my belly. funeral clothes aren't really an expense i can consider.

[sefirot]

Debt for what?

Just put on whatever you want!

The dead don't care about what you wear... or do they?

[ryototsukai]

please don't put that out there, getting kicked out of a funeral sounds like a mortifying experience.

[murrvelous]

Actually, it'd be a mortuary-ing experience!

[ hehe. ]

But no. Seriously!
You can be respectful in any kind of clothing!
It's not like you're going around naked or anything. Right?

you should ask people for money!
or collect recyclable bottles to dispense for cash.
or go riffling around boxes and crevices for loose change until you get enough.

[ryototsukai]

a lot of that seems like it would lead to more trouble than it's worth

[horrifictie]

no way!
i did all those things when i woke up completely broke and it turned out ok.

alternatively, go dumpster diving for clothes.

Just steal one.

Or not go.

[ryototsukai]

both of those are out of the question.

[bananaoni]

Why the hell would not going be out of the question?????
