Joseph's Suit

It can't be understated how difficult it is to make a good fancy costume with no money, and only the materials you can find on the street. It's pretty rare to find much more than cardboard boxes and sometimes, [i]sometimes[/i], a decent sized roll of duct tape. Still, if you put your faith in the magical will of the streets, as well as leaving the occasional offering to their original, mysterious denizens, known to mortals as 'pigeons', you might just find that it provides you with the helping hand you need.

It was thanks to this that, while still not having eaten since his breakfast with Ren, Joseph was able to make a wonderful recreation of a suit using just cardboard boxes, duct tape, and a tag from... something... for a makeshift 'tie'.

He'd even managed to find a bit of cellophane and some pipe cleaners, making himself a pair of cardboard aviator sunglasses!

As he held the 'suit' up in front of him, he nodded in pride. Now no one could say he didn't put the effort in, and maybe he could pretend he was a normal person attending the party... thing... to enjoy themselves, rather than a   hom-WANDERER only attending because there was free food and alcohol.

Yes sir, no societal leechery here!

Still, maybe he could use this opportunity. With his moderate talent at cooking, maybe he could impress someone out on the town, find a job. At the very least, maybe he could find a rich person to become a personal cook for in return for living in their house or something. Sure, it might be awkward around the start, but hey, when was he [i]not[/i] awkward?

The answer was never, as he was sure was clear when he tried to help that girl earlier in the week, Olivia.

Honestly, he was still pretty embarrassed about his complete lack of composure when he'd accompanied her, especially right after that blonde bastard Ren had decided he would try to make thigs as awkward as he could before abandoning them. He was just glad that they'd made it to the town hall before too long, an that the small girl didn't seem to hate him by the time they did.

Maybe they might even run into each other during the night. God knows finding someone he knew would help take the edge off the nervousness he had with his plan to immediately raid the food stalls.

Well, it [i]might.[/i]

Anyway, enough plans. It was time for action.

Stretching for a moment to make sure he wouldn't accidentally pull a muscle or something during the raid, Joseph put on his suit, and wandered out of his alleyway and into the party, wondering whether he'd manage to make it out alive later on.
