[A webcam is coming on the feed as he punches in his number. Although it's not focused, and you get a good look at a slightly messy room. Decently sized, but lived in, for certain.]

Okay, so. Uh. Does anyone know what the fuck this is?

[A hand adjusts the webcam unceremoniously, to point onto him. Except he's not wearing his usual greaser wear. No. It seems to be more like a pair of blue pajamas, although clearly at least a size or two too small for him, but complete with the strange emblem emblazoned on the front.]

Did anyone else get something like this? I mean. I don't mind having more sleepwear, I guess, but it'd be nice if these pulse-clothes at least came in my size. And what's with the logo? Is it supposed to be like, an approximate equal sign? That's what it looks like, at any rate. I mean. Don't get me wrong, they're comfy as shit. I thiiink they showed up after Avery and I were done checking out downtown.

Oh right, that reminds me! [He stifled a shit-eating grin as he moves to the computer, hooking something up to it.] I need to make sure everyone sees this. You've never seen hilarious until you've seen this. I dragged Avery downtown, and we met up with another member of the club. Well, they happened to end up having a giant chicken monster with them, and this happened!

Isn't that the most hilarious thing you've ever seen? I mean, god. I know you can't see her face here but she was practically screaming. She ran off faster than I have ever seen anyone run. Holy shit, this shot came out good considering how hard I was laughing.

And, for the record, the thing is harmless. It went after me afterwards and all it wanted to do was play tag! It was kind of adorable, really.

Anyway. That's all I got for now. If anyone has a set of these goofy pajamas, let me know, okay? Mac out.

Don't worry, she's fine.
She ran off after this pic, so the only thing wounded is her pride.

Ah, you make clothes?

I do, indeed, and clothes seems to be a thing that you are desperately needing. The quality looks alright, but forgive me for saying they're ugly and too small.

I hope she's okay. You should actually help her next time rather than taking a picture and laughing about it. (Once again forgive me, I feel my maternal instincts stirring.)

i feel like the color or like
the weird symbol could be salvaged
maybe worked into a different piece
but that's just me, i'm not expert.

yeah, yeah.
honestly if i thought she was going to be legitimately in trouble i wouldn't have snapped a picture.
i don't want people dead i just have an awful sense of humor that starts at "terrible friend" and progresses to "raging asshole" depending on the day.

Well the mere fact that it looks like it was made for a pre-pubescent figure is enough to throw it out, but I will admit that symbol is quite eye-catching. I wonder what it means. Maybe I can draw up something for you that is much nicer and actually fits. I can feel my inner stylist awakening right now.

You do seem like quite the asshole. Acceptance is the first step towards rehabilitation, though, so at least you're aware.

Somehow I feel if I throw it out it'll just show back up in my closet or something.
I think it's happened to a few other people, too.
When you get items back from pulses they aren't exactly easy to get rid of.
But hey, if it makes you want to style something, by all means.

Ahahahaha
that's a good one
But I guess you've got -some- point. I'll apologize by taking her out for sushi or something.
What's your name, by the way?

My name is Pia Yeboah-Markos, I'm new around here, so forgive me my short comings. I still have a bit to learn with this *echoes* stuff. Luckily enough for me, you all seem pretty friendly despite being horribly disfigured.

Hey, c'mon now
not all of us are horribly disfigured
(yet)

Nice to meet you, Pia
Name's Makani Kapule.
But I end up just having everyone call me Mac
it's way easier.

Oh, I understand having to shorten your name for the sake of white people being able to pronounce it. But I give them no such recess. The 'Ye' in Yeboah is pronounced 'Yay'. As for the disfiguring...I have heard some horror stories that don't give me much hope.

i don't tend to care much tbh, mac's a fine enough nickname
though gotta say getting used to not having all the classic traditions was hard when i first moved inland.

yeah, no, it's.
really, really weird.
like even those of us who kind of get off light are kind of weird.
my eyes didn't used to be blue, but now they are.
i know a girl who has, no joke, fairy wings.
and that's just the ones that aren't immediately horrifying
my old teacher is kind of frightening now.

Actually getting rid of the classic traditions was my favourite bit about moving away from home. My name is so unique to *me* that I get annoyed when people fuck it up.

I haven't met anyone who is terribly grotesque yet, but I am hoping that I won't become one of them. We are all odd in one sense or another, I suppose, but I would like to stay physically appealing, personally.

Now I'll sketch up something for you to wear with those colours and that symbol that you might enjoy better. It will, at least, fit.

hahaha, yeah.
i guess you could say i took on my nickname because it made me stand out less
don't exactly want to be reminded of home so much, honestly
but sometimes i miss how friendly everyone was together.

fair warning
there's a couple of people who have become partial robots
like my teacher, chris (you'll see her pics in the faq i think)
but yeah i kind of hope i stay like this
i actually do spend a decent amount of time staying in shape
i'd rather actually like to keep my appearance.

honestly, like, no joke, no bullshit sarcasm
i can't wait
you sound like you know what you're doing
and i'm excited.

I understand. My name reminds me of who I am, not home, thankfully, or I'd be going by Pia Mark or something.

Yes, I think I met one of them...though I'm not sure if he was half robot, or an alien. Either way the encounter was thankfully brief, because he was a bit of an asshole. (Maybe you know him)

And of course I know what I'm doing. You can find some of my things here

ahaha, yeah.
i think i like your full name better, for sure.
it's cool, everyone's got their reasons.

which one was it? i might know him if you caught his name or how he acted.

miki`oi! that is some seriously amazing work. now i'm really excited.

Thank you, I enjoy your name, as well. As for the weird man, I never caught his name, but I think he's a doctor. He was all pale and spoke in short sentences and rude. I suppose they were just echoes on him, but I was definitely not impressed.

My camera isn't working!! I have a great sketch here...I'm sure you'll love it, once I can show you. I hope you like shorts ;3

Oh, I think I've seen him around. He's weird but you'll get used to him. He's like, one of the best docs we have on here.

Maaan, that's a shame. I do want to see it. I'm perfectly comfortable with shorts. Though I imagine you might want some compensation for the designs. ;D
