Clans of Garrus (STARTED! Still accepting applicants)

[revolverwolf]

After a moment of processing, thinking and quickly deciding to forgo a discussion that would lead nowhere, Hammond spoke, "I think that three will be fine. Savannah in one, me in another, Em and yourself would share. We could bring along a spare as well, though it isn't necessary to."

 

[revolverwolf]

Damn, he had forgotten Kronos. That meant three guys had to have three tents, due to them either not trusting the others or not tolerating them, with the girls having to share the fourth. No spare and it would still be pretty expensive. More expensive than they could realistically afford. They had to have only three tents somehow.

"Perhaps..." he thought aloud, before rescinding the thought, [small]"No, no, that would never work..."[/small] He might be willing to sleep outside a tent thrice a week, provided he was allowed to keep a fire going, but Savannah and Kronos did not seem to be the types who would sleep outside. It was already hard enough to picture either of them in tents. And leaving Ari and Em outside would just be wrong.

Maybe he was just looking at this problem the wrong way? Maybe there was a solution that he hadn't considered in which they could all stay inside, or some scenario he had disregarded?

"Perhaps Em could acquire a tent to save us some Llum? We'll buy two and have Em come back to acquire one later."

Hammond was half-paying attention to Ari at this point, with the remaining half focused on the samples of cloth that the tailor had on display. He touched some of the cloth and, after deciding that the texture was wrong, moved on to the next piece. You know what I think? I think she's asking you for your opinion a lot suddenly... What gives Hammond? And why'd she even bring you along anyway? So far you don't seem to be carrying anything at all.

"Well as long as Em and Savannah are willing to share the tent, and you're not too fussed about sleeping outside, it should work. But we would need to speak to them both before settling on it as a solution."

His hands settled upon another piece of cloth. Aha, this one would work. For the moment it was white, but he planned to have it dyed with a far better design. He drew some of the cloth from its reel and took the sample over to the counter before speaking to Ari again, "You're sure you'd be fine sleeping outside?"

 

[revolverwolf]

"A cloak. Just to be on the safe side." The further south they went, the more he would like to have a cloak. It might be cold, windy and rainy as they trekked south and, with a cloak, he'd be somewhat prepared for it. Or it might get sunnier in which case he would have some shade, though he doubted it could get sunnier. "It won't take much to do."

 

[revolverwolf]

"It won't be long..."

"But you can go back and ask Em and Savannah about the sleeping arrangements while we're waiting. I'll stay here for the clothes and bring them back to the inn if they're done before you get back."

That sounds incredibly dull, Hammond. You know I'm going to have to ask questions. And, oh boy, I've got some doozies to ask this time. No more 'hide and seek' crap, I'm going full out. I'm going to make you regret having the ability to think consciously.

 

[revolverwolf]

What the hell was that?

Huh...?

'I'm sorry for even thinking this but...' And then she left you with the clothes. Normally she would have stayed here to watch over you or left the monster with orders to maul you if you didn't come out of here with a green three-piece suit. She's up to something... But I don't know what yet.

It doesn't seem that suspicious to me. Why is there any need to analyse it?

Because she's up to something. Something that may very well be bad for you.

Very well. ...Can you start asking inane questions now?

Oh no, not now. Not when I can analyse the girl and her motives...

Right then. You do that and I'll be thinking about which colour to make the cloak.

"Sure Ari! If he's fine with it too." Em smiled at Ari. She reluctantly stopped staring at the musicians, who had been tuning their instruments.
"How was shopping anyway? Did you get everything you need already?" She asked her. They had been gone for a while and Em was too lazy to check her pocket watch.

Spoiler: ooc

mmm short posts ~o~

"Yes?" Savannah said, from a few feet behind Ari. When she swung around in confusion he stared blankly for a few seconds then explained,

"I heard someone coming up the stairs. What is it you want to ask me?"

 

[The Fork of Truth]

Savannah frowned for a moment.

Well, she isn't present, is she?

"Very well. Did you get my suit?"

 

[revolverwolf]

Hammond looked behind him, as he heard the footsteps of the tailor returning with the completed suit. A 3 piece suit, dyed green. Hammond thought that it looked awful but he was sure that it was exactly to Savannah's expectations. It looked about the same as the previous suit anyway.

"If you could make a cloak with this too, I'd appreciate it. Dye it dark blue." He slid the cloth over the tailor who, having put the suit on the counter, gave a nod.

Still waiting, eh? Don't worry. I have more questions.

Hammond sighed as the tailor left to make the cloak.

Em saw Ari walk past again, walking out of the tavern door. She thought for a moment before chasing after her.

"Hey Ari! Wait a second!" Em said, catching up to her in the street. "Do you think you could buy me some poison darts? I used up mine ages ago and I've been meaning to try them again." She asked with puppy eyes, taking out a small bag of Llum from her cloak pocket.
