Which Brochure Do You Read?
[The Vigilance Committee Gift: Making The Most Of Your One Free Purchase.] (While Andraste Reads The Other.)
You have apparently stumbled into Mendet Muskawoun naked: this will not do! We do not abide public displays of lewdness in this city*: after all, love cannot be free!
*(Without a performance permit and suitable admission fee: see any Local Vigilance Committee kiosk...)
Fortunately for you, there is the Vigilance Committee Gift to save you from arrest and enslavement by the Watches! You have already taken the left step by going to a tailor or other provider of garments and they have taken you to be fitted! Now they probably offered you 'Temporarily Clothes' but you were smart and saw that trap for what it was*: so you asked the city for help!
*(What a clever little deity you are!)
This pamphlet will tell you how to make the most of your free clothing offer, while not soaking the Vigilance Committee for so much that they decide to file a Blood Feud petition against you*.
*(Unless you arrived in a district with a very poor Vigilance Committee, bad-luck!)
Now, when I tell you that the Vigilance Committee is required by City Law to provide whatever you order from the tailor's catalogue in terms of quantity, quality, and composition of goods as long as it can be filed as a single order, you might be tempted to order things like a dozen hand fitted 'Cloth-Of-Obdurium' or "True-Love's-Silk" suits: but don't do it! You might also be tempted, if you're in the right kind of store, to buy a whole cart full of "Decent-Clothing (TM)" wardrobe items... That's marginally safer, but still a bad idea! Your better plan would be to buy one high end, but not outrageous, suit or a half dozen suits of "Decent Clothing (TM)".
Ah, but, if you are thinking laterally, (as you SHOULD be,) you will realize that only one suit would soon get shabby and careworn, and those six "Decent Clothing (TM)" outfits will not be enough for every day of the month! This is why you should consider instead getting five or six Suits of passable quality and different styles or thirty suits of "Working STIFF (TM)" brand clothes!
Remember, "Nothing succeeds like Greed!"
(Except "Deicide (TM)" brand firearms and ammunition...)
"Okaaay... Wow." you manage after you read it and turn to Andraste, who looks like she might be sick.
"What did yours say?" You ask...
"Um, basically its clothes made from 'slip-shoddy' cloth, cloth made from the 'highest quality materials'..." She pauses, and masters her emotions. "Like 'cheap diseased whores blood', 'the pain of a pinprick', and 'voices of mild irritation'. It is so badly constructed that it will slip sideways between dimensions if you try to move swiftly in it and replace itself with things like iron bands, straight jackets, bondage gear, and live midget tentacle monsters," She explains, and looks at the pamphlet in horror.
"And yours?" She asks, trying to regain her equilibrium.
You explain what you have learned and she tears up. "Oh thank Us!" she says, and you are not sure if you agree with her. What exactly did that other pamphlet mean by "True-Love's-Silk"...?
What Do You Do Next?
[Dawn of the Gods] (Multi-Quest: Storytellers Welcome!)
You are a god on a brand new world: what legends will your worshippers tell after the end of the first age?
You are a brand new god, you have been born on the world of Davnosa. Your mission is to see your pantheon well established and dominant, while living a life worthy of legends...
