Hello, this is Gershom. I could use some advice about clothes shopping?

I haven't had to dress for being around other people in a long time, so I'm not sure what people usually have in their wardrobes. I know I need casual clothes and formal clothes, but the specifics are a bit lost on me...?

[hemostat]

[oh, right. that whole time loop thing...]

Hmhm. It's not that strange, mister Gershom. [she grins] Though, I'll admit, I've never gone clothes-shopping before.

[accidentallich]

If I'd known it was that special I'd have dressed up for the occasion, nu.

[He can make jokes! Sometimes.]

[hemostat]

[ah! she laughs, getting the joke immediately]

Well, next time, you can!

[she pulls out a yokai mask haori, thinking it is also cat patterned]

[accidentallich]

[It's close enough that he can't say that they aren't cats. Into the shopping basket it goes.]

What about you, do you like any of the clothes here for yourself?

[hemostat]

I do! I'm thinking of getting a top with a pair of those nice pants. And maybe the small boots when I get some more money.

[that's the style she likes, gesturing to the mannequin. kimono top with gaucho pants... probably in pink]

[accidentallich]

Oh, that look nice. I'm sure you'll look very pretty in that.

[not that he would know, being Super Gay.]

[hemostat]

[she beams]

I'm glad we came out together! It's a lot more fun shopping with a friend.

[accidentallich]

We can be friends?

[He sounds equal parts surprised and hopeful.]

[hemostat]

[awww]

Silly, we are friends. Whenever you need something, you can count on me.

[accidentallich]

Oh - yes, yes I will!

[this is the best day of his life.]

A-and if there's anything I can ever do for you, just let me know and I'll help as much as I can.

[hemostat]

[she nods. even though she is in a strange new world, that's no reason to panic... yet]

Thank you, mister Gershom. I appreciate it.

[and soon they will both have appropriate clothes for the new world!]

[accidentallich]

Just 'Gershom' is fine, no need to stand on ceremony...

[He's pretty sure it's impossible for an angel to be rude to something like him, just because of what they are.]

[hemostat]

Oh, alright.

[she usually uses mister, or miss... so it'll be a tough habit to break]

If you insist.

[accidentallich]

Oh - or whatever you want is fine!

[he doesn't want her to be uncomfortable!!]

[hemostat]

[she'll be fine. very few things rattle her]

I'm sorry. I'm used to formalities. But, you have a point. Friends don't need to be so formal with each other. I'll try to remember that.

[accidentallich]

Is it very formal up in heaven...?

[wow gershom you can't just assume the angel is from heaven]

[hemostat]

[awww]

I don't know about "heaven," but almost all angels in Celestia are extremely polite. Though, I was polite as a human, as well, I think.

[accidentallich]

That makes sense.

[Assumes Celestia is some faith's name for Heaven. It sounds like that's what it should be.]

Do most humans become angels after they die...? Oh, um, you don't have to answer if this is nosy.

[hemostat]

[she shakes her head to show she is not offended by the questions]

Actually, I think it's rare that humans can become angels, or demons, depending on where they go once they pass on. Only the purest of human souls can become angels.

[accidentallich]

Huh... then what happens to most humans? I-I suppose I won't get to find out for myself, so...

[hemostat]

[she thinks about how to explain]

That's more tricky. From what I understand, when humans die, their souls are reaped and then sent to Hades where they are put to work to atone for their sins. Then, depending on what kind of person you were when you were alive, you are then either sent to Celestia, or the Netherworld later. But that doesn't mean those souls will become demons or angels.

[accidentallich]

I see... That makes sense.

[He hasn't put too much thought into the afterlife, assuming that it's something that he's barred from now.]

You must be a wonderful person then.

[hemostat]

Well, I don't know about that, but I do try. Thank you.

[she holds up a few different kimono tops against her, looking in a nearby mirror]

[accidentallich]

I think they all look nice on you! But the pink one matches your hair.

[he is helpful]

[hemostat]

I agree!

[pink is good. she likes pink]

That settles me, then. Do you know what you're going to get?
