Who ☀ Hector & "everyone"
What ☀ It's Hector's birthday!
When ☀ August 5
Where ☀ Lumina Cloth. Surprise!
Content Warnings ☀ drunk people, will add as needed

[ Arrive at Mac Anu, where the welcome party was held, to find it...empty? A quick look on the forums shows a little edit to Hector's post:

We're popping Lumina Cloth's cherry! See you there :-)

So that's where he is.

In the center of the brightly illuminated nighttime city, Hector's set himself up for his little get together. But since he doesn't have any tables or plates or anything fancy like that, all the alcohol and food he bought from various vendors are just...strewn around the floor. The food is probably still good to eat, though. It's fine. Take what strikes your fancy!

Hector's wearing his outfit again. He lounges on the steps of that funky spinny thing in the center of town, and anyone who gets close enough to hear him will hear music coming from his mic. Give him a break. He's doing his best.

When enough people have gathered, he might actually get up and drag everyone into a drinking game.

So enjoy—eat, drink, mingle, and smack your friends! PvP is enabled here, after all :) ]

Looks at Brambles... )

Is something wrong?

[dapples]

Oh, Christ!

S-S-Sorry! Didn't mean to stare!

[tablescraps]

... Does this outfit discomfort you?

[dapples]

[ this answer is squeaked: ] No!

I-I'm just ... [ he lowers his voice ... ] Really in awe! I've got one of those but I'd be too shy to wear it out and about! Do you like wearing it?

[tablescraps]

Oh. It's glitched, so I can't unequip it. But I don't mind waiting out the bug report, either. It's just clothing.

Why does wearing this make you shy?

[dapples]

Oh, I see ... [ and in regards to that question? ] I ...

[ you know what? he hasn't even figured this out for himself. ]

I-I have no idea. It just does ...

[tablescraps]

( He looks at Brambles, and is quiet for several long moments. )

I think it would look fine on you.

( He was picturing Brambles in a maid outfit and deciding how it looked. )

You don't really need to be embarrassed about it.

[dapples]

I-I already have one ... Punisher and I went into a dungeon and we ... got them. Not on purpose.

[ he's so embarrassed anyway though, bless him ]

I wore it once but, um, never again.

[tablescraps]

You probably wouldn't be so embarrassed if you wore it more. Since it'd look fine on you.

( As he said. QED, obviously. )

Letting worry control you doesn't seem like a good idea.

[dapples]

[ he hums. deep in thought. ]

Can't I let worry control me just this once?

[tablescraps]

If you want. Delete it if you don't like it.

[dapples]

We can delete stuff?

[tablescraps]

Yes. I haven't been deleting mine, though. Since armor, weapons, and skins are specifically untradeable, I expect there's going to be some use for them in a future update.

[dapples]

Should I ... hang onto mine for the time being, then?

[tablescraps]

Delete it if you don't like it. Keep it for mechanical benefits otherwise. Comfort seems to matter to you.

[dapples]

Hm ...

I'll have to think it over.
