it's a new week! temenos is here at one of those clothing stores, looking... well... a little out of his depth. he's got a hand to his chin and is looking deep in thought at some of the racks, but that "deep in thought" somehow looks like consternation.
[ temenos would love to be cool and mysterious and say this does not startle him, but he's deep enough in thought (yet not in the mind palace) that he jumps when ponta calls out to him, and then laughs, putting a hand on his heart. ]
My goodness, but you ought to wear a bell, Ponta. [ teasing... but he looks back at the rack, after that, and then smiles, a touch sheepish. ]
No... they indeed are not, lest someone think you're not on the job. The man of the cloth moniker does come well earned. [ and yet here we are. ] I'm, admittedly, a bit out of my depth.
[ Ponta just shrugs at how spooked Temenos seemed for a second there. He's now started being entirely unapologetic for his habit of creeping up on people accidentally.]
Well, guess we all know you're usually robed up, no need to rep it all the time.
[ The idea of Temenos in plainclothes is kind of scary though... that's his whole visual identity?! ]
[ Oh good god, that just makes it harder. Dressing Temenos up like Bumblr's image of an English professor might have been doable, but... Hmm.
Okay. Okay, he's got this. Fashion advice. ]
Alright... casual... casual...
[ Ponta browses through the racks for a moment and then comes up with a floral button down as a first option. It's still giving English prof, but not nearly as bad as his first contemplation. ]
temenos follows ponta placidly, hands laced behind his back, truly just vibing. he looks curiously at the shirt, head tilting to the side... and then nods. ]
Let's try it. [ it's giving very apothecary. he holds his hands out to take it, resting the shirt over his arm! ] It really is quite convenient, to be able to just purchase clothing like this: at home, a trip to the tailor's can be a long-running affair. This sort of situation is a bit more familiar to you, no?

This is... all not really your usual style, huh?
[ Hi, here's Ponta, he's behind you now. ]
Are priests even allowed casual wear?

What kind of vibe do you want to go for?
no subject
it is an absolutely terrifying mental image but here we are. he chuckles a little, spreading his fingers a bit against the woolen fabric. ]
I suppose that is true. [ then again anything is better than the gym outfit from execution. like. anything. yikes. ]
As for a [ old man millenial voice ] 'vibe'... I don't even know where to begin.
no subject
Maybe it is time to start praying, just... preemptively. ]
Ooookay, so. For starters, I'm gonna assume you don't want to show much skin?
[ He did not look happy in the sports outfit, but then. Nobody would. ]
And you want... well, do you want to go for serious authority figure or switch it up?
no subject
Yes, I think that would be best. It might be quite scandalous, otherwise. [ also rabbit would never shut up about it. ]
I like to think I'm not too serious. Perhaps something a bit different?

Anything in this direction?
