[ Pepper's walking downtown, shield maiden-slash-roommate in tow. Already they've got a couple shopping bags on them, but they show no sign of stopping their retail therapy trip any time soon. ]

[ Filtered call to Charlie McGee ]

Hey, Charlie, Pepper here. Sif and I are out shopping for the apartment and whatnot, you're more than welcome to join us if you want.


[ ooc: What it says on the tin. Lovely ladies are out shopping. ]

The, what did you call it? Flannel, that you deemed inappropriate was just fine.

Action

[threeolives]

[ Sadly, some people just can't be helped. ]

Sure, flannel's good. Comfortable, warm, matches both denim and khaki, but what if you want something more formal? It's always good to have a range of clothing options.

[godofabs]

[he still looks like a deer in headlights...]

Action

[threeolives]

[ Okay… How to explain...? ]

In Asgard, were there ever occasions where you had to dress up? Like a fancy dinner or gathering? And were there times when the weather was particularly cold or hot, so you had to wear something different to accommodate?

Action

[godofabs]

No, not at all. We merely wear our armor everywhere. [sorry pepper.]

Action

[threeolives]

Okay, well, here we ...don't.

Take me for example. [ She gestures to the clothes she's wearing: floral tee, skinny jeans, comfortable shoes. ] I love this outfit. It's perfect for an afternoon out shopping. But I wouldn't wear it to work. It's much too casual. At work, I'd dress more like that. [ She points to a mannequin dressed for business, black blazer and pencil skirt. ]

It's sort of... [ Here comes a very flimsy simile. ] My outfit, and your flannel shirts, are like the armor you wear normally, worn in and comfortable, showing signs of use. A suit is more like armor that's been buffed and polished that you would wear for something important, for a ceremony or something. Does that make any sense?

Action

[godofabs]

Oh, I see. Well-- [he picks up a random article of clothing that Pepper had picked up earlier.]

Should I see if this is suitable?

Action

[threeolives]

Go ahead. [ He may not get it, but he's trying, which is something. ]

The most important thing is whether you like it.

Action

[godofabs]

[he goes into a dressing room, getting his Chris Hemsworth on before emerging and realizing that he doesn't feel like the Thor that was on Earth, really.]

Is this suitable?

Action

[threeolives]

[ Dayum. Boy is fine.

Pulling herself out of ogling mode, she takes his elbow and guides him to the three-way mirror, smoothing out wrinkles and making the clothes fit right. ]

It fits great, and looks wonderful on you. But what do you think?

Re: Action

[godofabs]

It is ... comfortable. [He supposes that he can fight in this. It just feels strange to be out of Asgardian armor for so long.]

Action

[threeolives]

[ He shouldn't have to fight in it. That's not the point of fashion, Thor. ]

Good, we'll get it then.

ACTION

[godofabs]

I have no money, I fear.

Action

[threeolives]

Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Think of it as an early birthday present ...or a late one-- do Norse gods have birthdays?
