[ The camera blips on to show Waver looking pensive. Though you may notice Rider in the background looking suspiciously naked. Hard to tell, Waver's head is in the way. Don't mind him. ]

So, it's that day again. But I haven't changed at all, I don't think. Aren't I supposed to be getting taller? Surely, by now, I should be taller! Stronger...or something.... [ Mumble, grumble ]

This is the second birthday I've passed since waking up out of stasis in this place. Isn't that —

[ Suddenly, at the mention of "birthday", the Man in the Background jumps up and moves, seemingly hightailing it out the door which causes Waver to whip around and blink, his Profound Thoughts gone. ]

Ah- I hope he put on pants....

[ SIGH ] Yeah... I know. I know!


But yes, it is a little bit difficult, if you're not of an average size.

[inaurare]

This is why it confuses me. There are no tailors at all...?

[is Linneus about to learn what a sweatshop is...?]

[chickenhearted]

[ Oh no Linneus... ]

There are some. But er... clothes are now mass produced in factories. So the need for tailors is small.

[inaurare]

Mass produced in factories...?

[he hates when he can only guess at the meaning of things...]

And this is why people of your world have to simply hope that they fit...?

[chickenhearted]

Yes. You are familiar with factories, right?

[ Can never be to sure around here, after all. ]

It saved time and money, so of course it was considered an improvement. But yes, there are now standard sizes that you have to hope you fit properly into.

[inaurare]

Not with factories, no.

[he's going to go ahead and assume they are like large tailor's shops? That seems about right...]

But surely that leaves even more up to chance. Trying to find the styles you like, and the size... is that any easier here, at least?

[chickenhearted]

Oh. Well... they're large buildings that have a lot of machinery and workers that..make things in mass quantity.

[ Large tailor shops...well, close enough, tbh. ]

I haven't really looked for clothing here... I assume it's about as difficult. I'm... somewhat small so it can be hard...
