[...] Just feeling a little self-conscious about only owning two shirts. I wanna look nice, but not too formal, y'know? Unfortunately I don't think getting taller is an option at this point in time.
Also it's gonna be cold soon, figured I should be prepared.
I'd say raid my 'closet' but don't know if yoga leggings and denim everything are your style... I think you'd look distinguished in flannel, especially with your glasses. Don't want to try leg lengthening survery in a post-apoc world? 🤢🤢
Do you have a winter coat or boots or anything? If not we need to make that a priority.
I mean, I'd have to do the surgery myself, so that doesn't seem like a good time? If you think I could pull off flannel, that seems way easier and less potentially life-ending. Do the glasses make me look too old? Be honest.
I don't. I froze my ass off last winter. Can we make sure Z's looked after first, though? We're kind of in the same boat, but she's more important.
Not wanting to perform surgery on yourself is valid, I'll give you that. Especially not that heinous undertaking. I take it-- wait, why are you suddenly concerned about your appearance?? The glasses make you look smart, not old.
How about we make sure you're both taken care of, but I'll keep an eye out for things in her color palette, promise.
Although there was that guy who did an appendectomy on himself in Antarctica, that was pretty sick! But that's beside the point. You're gonna laugh at me.
Thank you, I appreciate you. Sorry to be such a charity case. I'm still kicking 2012 me for not packing better.
okay yeah, that guy was kind of brutal af regardless of whatever else he did in his life. I laugh at you all the time, but you never in sincerity laugh at you, my friend. try me.
I appreciate you too, bum or not. kidding. hindsight is 20/20, yeah? even when I was prepared, half the shit I thought I'd need ended up being useless when push came to shove.
I would legitimately find a way to introduce myself with that fact, yeah. get a shirt made that tells the whole tale and exclusively wear it.
KIND OF?????? A DATE???? OMG-- okay sorry let me stop that's obnoxious. if he's already seen both shirts and you have a maybe date, for sure go for the flannel! DO I KNOW HIM??>>?
That's a great idea! Then I wouldn't even have to wonder what I should wear for the second thing here!
Is flannel okay? He saw me jogging in the dress shirt and I think it looked weird, and he saw the suit at the thing, so I thought maybe I needed something casual? I don't know? You're better at this stuff than me, what would you suggest? Should I cut my hair, shave the beard off? You know the theatre troupe at Whitney? (This is a lot of questions, sorry!)
We should get you some! You can't use the cheap ones on hair like yours, it'll ruin your curl pattern! Personally, I like satin scrunchies when nobody's looking.
I'll find an undershirt and a sharpie and start coming up with a story for you.
yes, flannel is okay. flannel is also casual. take a deep breath. lol you say that, but also don't forget my track record or try to do as I'd do plz. trim both but nothing drastic; I can actually help here, if needed. OMG DID YOU JOIN THE POLYHEDRON????
see, you get me ♥ we need to put this at the top of our needs lists right after winter clothes for my Kostopoulouses.
Siiiick. I better get started on disemboweling myself so that it's not lying.
I wouldn't mind the help? It's been a few years, and I don't know if I remember what my face used to look like. [...] I did not join the polyhedron. I didn't know there was a polyhedron?? I've just been hanging out with Blythe, but I thought he was single???
You're too good to me, thank you. I'll see what I can rustle up for you for Christmas.
I'm no barber, but have had a surprising number of exes who turned trimming their beard/cutting their hair into a two-man project? again, hindsight, right? someone was telling me about it during that Whitney party-- apparently like, two thirds of the theater troupe are in a relationship together??? sounds exhausting to me, which is to save OMG I LOVE BLYTHE. he's from the southeast too, so that means he's good people in my book! plus he has some interesting ghost stories you should ask him about! perhaps he's the one third of the troupe that isn't part of the polywhatsit?
santa's coming - is it a promise or a threat? you better watch out you better watch out YOU BETTER WATCH OUTT
Not to a helpless man about it, but I'd appreciate any assistance. I didn't even have the beard when I got here, but then I went full Castaway. I didn't exactly plan on this.
Also that DOES sound exhausting, but y'know, if that's what he's into, I'm not going to judge? Blythe is pure Southeastern sunshine—didn't know he also had ghost stories, but that doesn't surprise me since he's got 1000+ other talents. Is there anything he can't do?
asking for help =/= helpless. who's your wilson? we're gonna make you look so snazzy!
that's super legit of you, because not sure I could even handle being associated with that many people. sounds like you're rather smitten, there. when is the big date anyway?
Who's my Wilson, eh? Hmmmm. Maybe my bigass knife. And thanks, I hope I can look halfway decent!
It really is a lot of people. I don't really have experience navigating that sort of thing, but I'll see how it goes? We're aiming for Thursday, so nothing catastrophic better happen before then!

If only we could go back in time and warn ourselves to pack 100 pairs of underwear, huh?
