Hello, fellow citizens of Beacon. It's me. Eliot. [ for however grandiose his tone remains, there's boredom lingering underneath. ]

We're getting to that time of the year, and I'm sure most of you still look lovely in the same clothing you arrived in, but without a doubt your sundresses and polos are not sufficient for the. Well. Gradually lowering and soon to be possibly freezing temperatures.

Of course, there's your choice of thrift shop clothing available in the general store, and far be it from me to keep you from popping tags and looking for a come up, but I've also perused the same clothing and. [ he hums and sighs. ]

If you'd like some winter clothing that fits you better and has been freshened up for your use, let me know. Let's get you clothed properly, mm?

[ there's a pause. a slow inhale, a soft puff. it seems he's smoking. ]

Anyway. Anyone here know A Christmas Carol? We have their permission to reuse their stage as we please, so long as we invite them to whatever we use it for. They showed us their own production, so I was thinking why not give back one of our own.

You're a tailor? I should have asked earlier. Nothing I find here fits right.

[If there were anything Goro was looking for, it was definitely clothing. Anything to change out of the outfit he arrived in at least and with winter coming, it would be smart to look for something.]

Forgive me if this sounds silly, but I'm assuming you'd want some sort of currency in return, is that correct? If so, what would you be looking for? I just arrived here, so I don't have much yet.

The clothes here are terrible. Do you have an alternative supply?

This is a very kind thing for you to offer, Eliot. I think I will be sufficiently warm, but perhaps you could help me make something for Crowley? He tends to be cold.

And we'd love to help you with a production of A Christmas Carol! I'm very familiar with the text.

[ He might have met Charles Dickens a couple times ]

Hi. Is there a... different store? I would like to go.

Can you show me?

[It takes the Soldier a little bit to actually track down Eliot, but they do so half because of the smell of cigarettes and half from basically watching everyone for two months and noting where they spend most of their time.

So rather than a network message, Eliot will find the metal-armed-guy from the ferry crash last month, and from the dock repair, and from just kind of around peering at wherever he's sitting, and/or knocking on the door if he's at home. They look vaguely uncertain, maybe a little uncomfortable, but also a tiny bit hopeful. It's all very subtle, but still there if you look.

Without even a greeting, it says (they say, they dammit),]

Can you show me? The clothes thing?

[Akira arrived in his blazer so he is plenty warm, but. . . well. aesthetic is important]

How much do you charge?

Are you offering to dress me?

Quite the offer.

Isn't performing a play about the ghost of Christmas past a little on the nose for a creepy town full of dead people?

I know you did not just actually say 'popping tags'

The store leaves a lot to be desired, doesn't it? I've been told I can dress down in the afterlife, but I still miss my suits.

( he didn't even have the decency to die well dressed, so he's been suffering ever since. )

I enjoyed being a part of the theatre club when I was in school. I'd be willing to help out with a production.

Yeah? Try working with this weather in a toga. Not easy.

[He sighs.] But you have a point, we need to get a better set of clothes. I'm guessing you have a plan for that?

[The other part though?]

That's the one with Kermit the Frog, right?

[He's mostly teasing, he may know there's also a Scrooge McDuck version...oh and I guess some short story? Maybe?]

[ what a great offer—no shade, it's legit. kol hasn't been able to find a shirt that fits that doesn't end up ruined. ]

Is it the little Gucci dress or the little Gucci dress? I haven't been able to decide in months.

Define 'freshened up'? I can usually tweak for fitting fine enough myself, but, like - don't let me get my hopes up for some good stuff when it really just means sprucing up some colors.

Would we have enough volunteers for that? Would we have auditions? [Asked with amusement. This is not a very Christmas Carol-y crowd, in her estimation.] I'll take Past, if no one else chimes in.

Or Yet To Come.

I would vastly prefer well-fit warm clothing. Someone offered to repair some of mine but I don't know what came of her. If you can do better than what's in the store, by all means.

[he's already experienced the wrong skinny jeans and no thank you]

I'm afraid I don't know the, ah...performance of which you speak. But we could do with a little more culture around here.

Oh thank god. I can only handle so much of the lumberjack look.

Putting on a show is a waste of time and resources. Though I am not surprised at the ignorant being so agreeable.

[Jo was dressed for fall because Missouri in the fall is always chilly, but even her layers are starting to not be enough.]

Do you have supplies to tailor clothes?
