[OTA] Shop Til You Drop

[falsepretences]

The trip to the outposts - they went to both Diamond and Spade - with Sophie had yielded a few sketches of buildings through a strange mist, but mostly it had cleared Jordan's head and made it clear to him that he was just so damn tired. Of being serious all the time, of keeping his head down, and of basically behaving more like he was forty six instead of twenty six.

The cure for this, obviously, was shopping.

Specifically the cure for this was hat shopping, though Jordan might also be getting distracted by a display of pocket squares too.

"Ha, well..." It was a strange time to be in the deck, he supposed. Though he went quite for a long moment, silently considering what the real results might well be- none of his predictions ended very well, though. He almost wished everything would happen like a loud bang, and then the tense waiting could end.

And they would either be dead, or know what was happening to them. It was the uncertainty that made it all so difficult.

"Not everyone has moved to the castles yet. Some people are still stubborn about it." Luka Novak was a prime example of that, for starters.

"Grandfather won't move into the Castle unless we all ganged up and hauled him bodily," Jordan says. "And that strikes me as a fantastic way to make everyone else miserable."

Maybe if Clive made him twitch.

"But enough other people are. Your sister and Mr. Fox had to move apartments early to free up space." He shrugs, though. "There's not much point in worrying about it constantly, though. It's Clive's job."

"Clive does it so well, too." Hadyn said with a snort. Oh well, at least someone else could worry for a while.

"Anyway, I should get going- trying not to buy too many pointless hats. You don't even wear the ones you have now."

"I'm thinking of wearing a different one each day, and save the obnoxious ones for when I need to get paperwork from Tens." Which was often. Clearly a reason to invest in obnoxious hats.

"Have...fun with Henry. We can do lunch tomorrow or something."
