"Stylish and functional." Jordan paused, considered saying something. Rep dislikes just about everyone; don't take it personally. That might not actually be the case here. Jerry and Rep had clashed right from the beginning. Better to stay quiet and not risk stirring up the animosity further.

He handed his card to the cashier. "Credit, please. ... Jerry ... We won't be too much longer. Sorry for - er - there's been less than zero privacy the past two months, and there are a few things we need to talk about, them and me. It's been sort of a strain," he said quietly.

Jerry laughed, searching for anymore tags to remove before slipping the tie on and concentrated on knotting it properly, "It's cool, I get it. It's the first time we've had like... anything close to a vacation anyway. Enjoy it while you got it!" Aah, the drinks had definitely been a good idea. Still smiling, he gave Jordan a wink and a nudge. "Now the question is, should I stash these old things up in the hotel room or throw them out, ahahaha- oop!" He almost forgot his wallet in his old coat pocket. Room Key and ID were important. He casually stuffed them into his new pocket.

Jordan suppressed a relieved sigh. Jerry sounded much more cheerful; he understood. Good. Now Jordan wouldn't have to feel guilty about it the whole time. "Thanks, man," he said, and eyed the old clothes. "You might want to save them, just in case there's anything else you forgot in the pockets. Not sure they're salvageable, though."

"Hahah you're right," He let the lady pack them into a bag and straightened himself up. Tie straightened, vest buttoned, jacket lapels straight and cane hanging from his wrist, "You know! I've never actually gambled before? Maybe someone will lend me a few quarters for one of the machines! I'll catch you later, don't lose track of time or I will text Rep pictures of feathered ladies." Another wink and a wide grin.

Jordan sputtered, then outright laughed. "I'll consider myself duly threatened. Good luck at the machines, dude." It seemed that new clothes and a cane to ease the pressure on his leg had cheered Jerry up considerably. That was definitely a weight off in a metaphorical sense as well.

It was amazing what a fresh suit and a few drinks would do for a man. He was standing straighter, and with the help of his cane, he was actually sauntering as he gave Jordan a final salute and made his way back the way they had come. "Have fun you guys see you in a bit!" He called out to Rep and Harrison, and humming, was off.

Hopefully he wouldn't get lost or side tracked, but with a budget of 0 there wasn't really far he could go.

"Not going to sugar-coat it, owing Dakota a favor is a dangerous situation." Harrison patted his pockets. "s**t, there was booze in the room, wasn't there? I forgot to snag some."

Jerry saluted, and was off. He looked significantly less like a hobo.

Harrison grinned and waved back, going to stand beside Jordan. "Well, Mr. Miller," He idly examined a rack of shirts, "You got his clothes off in a hurry. Now that you've got us to yourself...?"

Jordan snorted. "I'd prefer to take my time helping you out of yours," he said, and hooked his arm around Harrison's shoulders. "Come on, let's find you something to get respectable in. And maybe out of at some point."

"Aye. All drinks great and small" he agreed. He hadn't taken any of them though, if he'd brought them with him, they'd be gone already, no question. But there weren't easy ways out tonight and he could only guess at how long before people questioned why he wasn't drinking.

He rubbed his tired brows as he finally stopped glaring on Jerry's departure. He hadn't waved. The other man still looked like a ******** dweeb but in Jordan's hands apparently this unfortunate condition had been alleviated just a bit, he was almost presentable. Rep could only hope he came out of this shop with something perhaps a little less old fashioned than what the lanky sun had walked off in.

As he joined the others, he gave nothing but a head tilt in greeting, too busy making sure Jerry was gone and wasn't going to swing back to pick up his keys or something.

"I like that plan," Harrison said, slipping his hand in Jordan's back pocket, and letting Jordan steer him towards respectability.

There was a surprising amount of variety as far as slacks went. Rows of shirts. The accessories were elsewhere.

"So what, just a button-up and I can go?" Harrison asked, unhooking a collared shirt with palm trees and a neon cowboy splashed across the front.

Jordan smiled as Rep joined them, still quiet, but at least not scowling any more. "Hey," he said, half-apologetic.

Harrison picked up something horrible. Jordan tried to think of something tactful to say about it. "Uh - that'd make a good souvenir," he tried. "Something less flashy would be good. If you get something plain, you can use it again for other occasions." He chose a dark shirt with a subtle, narrow striped pattern. From a different rack.

Rep liked the cowboy. Cowboys were badass, and that one was being badass in the ******** desert. The palm tree showed it. Or maybe it was an island palm tree. Maybe he was a ******** cowboy pirate. That was even cooler. And then Jordan shot it down. Neon pirate cowboy would not be sailing the sandy ocean it seemed.

"Shirts." he said the word with the same sort of disdain he saved for words like vegetarian. "I don't need to wear a shirt do I?"

Harrison raised an eyebrow, but put the cowboy shirt back. His optional shirt days were over. On the island all the scarring was one thing, in Vegas he'd look like Frankenstein. "Look, you just put something together, and I'll wear it."

This one time.

So Jordan wouldn't worry so much and they could all go enjoy the bachelor party.

"Yes, you do need to wear a shirt," Jordan told Rep. "Tell you what; let me pick out a shirt for you and you can go find a pair of black pants meanwhile. Whatever style you like, as long as there's nothing ripped and it's not out of the athletic section."

Harrison put the cowboy shirt back without argument and submitted to being outfitted with no further struggle. Jordan opened his mouth to say something. Closed it again. Gave Harrison a faintly suspicious look. I'm going to be paying for this concession later, aren't I?

In spades, Ferros snickered.

You're so, so reassuring. "Okay," he said, and went about picking out a not-too-conservative but still respectable outfit that he was absolutely sure Harrison was going to find boring. But the agreement had already been voiced. Dark shirt of some comfortably soft material, grey vest, dark pants, and a pink tie that didn't make him wince. "These the right size?" he asked.

"Fine." he grunted, before pausing slowly and giving Jordan a serious look.

"You mean trousers right?"
