15. [Video]

[When North awakes, he can hardly believe his eyes. His room is a warzone of tattered pieces of cloth and a very sorry giraffe in the middle of it.

He can hardly believe it, even when the Giraffe attempts to bleat its excuses. It wasn't my fault, there was another cat, she wanted to help and then I tried but they smelled so good. I'm sorry person, I'm sorry.]

[He runs a hand through his hair and there's a muttered god dammit. This may be the maddest North has been in a while.]

This is a ridiculous request, but, does anyone have anything that can be used as a lock? One that spirits can't open? 

[Trouble is nosing her way in, still trying to apologize.]

[Her fashion sense is tingling. Obviously she is needed here.]

Bright, yes, but usually cool as well. I've been putting him in purples and greens, mostly, and occasionally in white. A good royal blue might be a nice change, though. What sort of style were you thinking?

[She is definitely designing potential outfits already.]

Style would, of course depend on the gentleman's preferred activity, miss. [He nods deferentially.] Function should always be taken into account, of course, when considering an active man such as Agent North. [Plus 4's for golf, a proper set of trousers for dinner. He's happy the seamstress seems to be in relative agreement with him. He considers North again on the communicator, mentally placing a few different color swatches on him. Green and purple would look all right in limited measure.]

To replace an entire wardrobe, I would think at least one suit for daily wear. A standard Harris tweed, perhaps. It is both durable and the texture may dissuade Agent North's Spirit from eating it. Several sets of clothing for more active moments. I shudder to think of a gentleman about town without a waistcoat and jacket, but I suspect Agent North may prefer such... fashion. A dockworker's attire may be made into something more fitting were some note taken of the note of the trousers not to hang so loosely, and color accents applied with great discretion to the shirt.

[Oh. She's getting the feeling that Jeeves doesn't know North very well at all. The task now is to put her next words politely.]

With all due respect, North's daily wear tends to be his armor. Most Freelancers practically live in it - I had quite the time trying to convince some of them to wear anything else- [She catches herself. Gossip may not be the best course here, and of course that is Carolina's business, even if Rarity never mentioned her by name. Yet.] The point is, he tends to prefer very casual wear - relaxing after a long day, if you will. Jeans, I think, and some nice button-up tops. Maybe even a tie or two, if we can keep Trouble from treating them like midnight snacks.

Although he certainly would look dashing in a suit... [Yep, now she's Making Plans. Good luck, North.]

[juniorganymedian]

As I said, miss, I would not think a suit to Agent North Dakota's preferences, however vital it might be to have on hand in any gentleman's wardrobe. Denim or dungaree trousers seem an unfortunate, but suitable alternative for him. [Yes, they're just going to carry on discussing North's clothes in public as if he's not there.]

I'm afraid I do not follow on your suggestion of a tie with such garments, though. You will forgive me for asking, Ms. Rarity, but is such an accessory wholly wise for a gentleman lacking the appropriate jacket, vest, or waistcoat to accompany it?

[Not to mention he shudders at the thought of a man wearing a tie with 'jeans.' He very much hopes that's not what the pony is suggesting.]
